Perfect weekend

The most adorable house! The beds were incredibly comfortable, and everything was spotless. The downstairs living room and kitchen area were just right for my husband and our three kids. It made for a wonderful weekend Downtown Wilmington.

Just as described - great location!

Property just as described - great location & easy walk to several restaurants, breweries. Weather was very rainy so we ended up driving some places we would otherwise walk but were glad to have the spacious house to spread out. Nicely refurbed older house. Would definitely recommend!

Nice house but very unsafe and dirty

We were excited to come to our daughter's graduation at UNCW and stay at the house. While the house served our needs well, and the great room and porch were fantastic, there were many problems, including safety issues. First, cleanliness. There were dirty dishes and glasses with lipstick stains in the cupboard. There were hairs on several of the towels as if they had not been washed. There were toothpaste stains on the walls, and more. It seemed as if the house had been hastily cleaned at best before we arrived. The hosts asked that we wash dishes and beach towels before we left, but there was no dishwasher or clothes detergent. Saftey: This is the big one. There was a back board loose on the steps from the street into the house. One of our party was almost injured because of this. The toilet in the upstairs bathroom is not bolted down. This causes the toilet to slide and has caused sewage water to leak onto the downstairs ceiling. There are large water spots on the ceiling and the sheetrock tape is ripping. This let us know this problem had been going on for quite some time. We were slightly afraid the ceiling might cave in while we were there. The shower door handle was very loose, the bathroom door was off its wheels...we could go on and on. It seems that the owners are either totally unaware of what is going on in their house or just don't care. We stay in short term rentals over 100 days a year and this is the dirtiest and most unsafe one we have ever seen.

Really liked the character of the house. It was an early 20th century refurb that was both eclectic but updated with modern amenities; but was decorated with antiques. It was within walking distance to the downtown waterfront and close to everything. We enjoyed the stay and will almost certainly come back sometime in the future. The only negative was no on-site parking. We parked in front of the house on the street.

Cozy home for family or 2 couples

The home was clean and a short drive to downtown. Street parking was easy. Good space for relaxing with television or playing games.

Wonderful find

We had a wonderful stay in Wilmington and couldn’t recommend this home enough. The check in directions were easy as was communication with the owner. The home is lovely! Fresh and clean and everything we needed. It is blocks from some great restaurants and shopping so we didn’t need our cars the whole weekend. We even walked to the Live Oak amphitheater for a show with ease. We lucked into a fantastic bakery just around the corner, Brooklyn Cafe and had breakfast there both mornings. All homemade items and great coffee. I would absolutely stay here again.

Wedding Weekend

This was the perfect spot for my daughter’s wedding weekend. Such a cute space and within walking distance from the Brooklyn Arts Center! I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Nasser

Host profile image
Hello! We are long time travelers, new to renting our place on VRBO. We are a family of 5: my husband and me, our two children and a newly added son-in-law! We moved from Boston 14 years ago and fell in love with the Wilmington area. When we travel we enjoy meeting new people and we also love where we live and would like to share it with other fellow travelers. We designed this place with travelers in mind and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The location of this property is unbeatable. It is one block away from the Brooklyn Arts Center and all that is happening downtown. History, Brew Tours, Live shows at the Wilson Center, all within walking distance. The house is designed for travelers with a large open concept kitchen and living room and 2 bedrooms that each have their own bath. The living room has two pull out sofas for sleeping (for a total of 6 in the house)

What makes this property unique

It’s really close to the Wilson Center where they have all kinds of shows, including off broadway. It’s even closer to the Brooklyn Arts Center, which is a stunning piece of architecture and the venue for weddings and local gatherings. The layout is great for socializing or a quiet place to curl up with a good book or movie.
