An older home that has been maintained nicely. As with any older home it is not handicap enabled, all bed rooms are upstairs and for those that are getting along in age the stairs can be difficult. The landscaping was very relaxing and beautiful, was nice watching the squirrels play!

The king size sleep number bed was a bit noisy, it might be on its last leg or just an older model. Enjoy our stay in this house, has too many good qualities to mention here, but glad we found this one.

Downtown charmer

Four of us (two couples) stayed in this charming, historic house within walking distance of downtown and the waterfront; near many great restaurants. Very clean and bright. Kitchen was quite large, airy and well set up. Loved the backyard and hot tub. It was quite cold the week we were there in March so we didn’t get to take full advantage of the pool or bbq but in the warmer weather the backyard would be where you would likely spend most of your time. The neighborhood was full of beautiful vintage homes; it was such a pleasure to walk around the area. The living room and bedrooms all had cable TV. Third bedroom also serves as a lovely reading room with great light and windows. The two main bedrooms were quite comfortable and had plenty of closet and drawer space. Bathrooms were separate from the bedrooms and tended to be small (little space for toiletries), but were clean and nicely updated. Plenty of towels. Could have used more table lamps in the bedrooms for reading and a floor lamp in the living room. Best of all, the neighbor’s cat visited with us everyday. He (we checked) was a delight, always looking for a handout and petting. Very gentle, good company, and he always went home. All I all, we had a great time in Wilmington with this as our home base and we heartily recommend this house.

Great Location

Overall we were very pleased. Tom the PM was awesome and very accommodating. The location could not be better, and the house was a good value. We really did not use the car during our entire stay; walked everywhere.The hot tub was very nice as well.

A couple of downsides, there was a very musty smell in the house that was off-putting. There seems to be a mold/mildew issue. Though there are flat screen TVs in every room, there is no HD service to the TVs and only basic cable. The bedroom doors are louvered and one of the doors won't close unless you place a rock behind it to keep it from swinging open. So don't expect much privacy if you are traveling in a group. The master (with the only king) is a murphy bed, not sure why this is but it is kind of odd. And I was intrigued by the idea of a sleep number bed, because I had never slept on one. But it really is just a fancy air mattress.
