Great location for marathon
This was an adorable little cottage with everything we needed. The location was about 4 blocks off of the marathon route and we loved being able to have our dogs. No problems finding free street parking right in front of the house and easy places to walk and potty the dogs.

Great spot - would definitely return
Great location in historic area of Wilmington, close walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, great record store etc. Hosts were great - we had a super minor issue (batteries dead in tivo remote - crisis!!). I told them we’d get batteries next AM and like 3 minutes later there was a basket outside the door with batteries (and candy!). Incredibly well appointed and comfortable- good space for 2 people would be tight with more. Wifi worked well

Great place, location and host!
Our children stayed here with their 2 dogs over Thanksgiving break while we celebrated with family in the area. The carriage house was immaculate, cozy, well stocked and in a great walking distance to downtown and the riverfront area. The host was very gracious to allow earlier check-in and the opportunity to stay a little longer past check out if needed be. I would definitely recommend this property!

Wonderful Stay! Highly Recommended
We had a fantastic experience at this property! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean, well-maintained, and beautifully decorated everything was. The location was perfect – close to local attractions but still quiet and peaceful. We also appreciated the little touches, like extra towels, toiletries, and the variety of board games for a night in. Overall, this property exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable hassle-free getaway.

Beautiful Pet Friendly Property
We stayed three nights with our adult daughter and two dogs and this was a perfect pet friendly place! Great location for walking to downtown restaurants and venues. For us, the ease of walking our dogs in the church yard next door or around the block was great. The property is beautifully decorated, comfortable, and well-socked with most anything you will need.

A 5-star experience
We've stayed in many rental properties during our travels, but this property stands out as one of our favorites. My wife and I and our dog were there for 10 nights. The location couldn't be better; a lovely, quiet and safe neighborhood in the heart of the historic district, a 5-minute walk to Front Street and the Riverfront with dining and retail options, and easy access by car to Wilmington's main arteries. The rental itself is hard to improve upon. It is well-equipped, appliances and cookware are new and high-end, climate control is easy to operate and the numerous windows with new dual-shades allowed us to keep the inside as bright or as dark as we needed.Wayne and Bobby are what hosts should be. Their home is on-site but apart from the rental. Communication with them was easy and responses were always within minutes, not hours. They are hands-off but easily accessible at any time. I could not have hoped for a better experience.

About the host

Hosted by Wayne Williams

Host profile image
Bobby & Wayne moved to Wilmington in 2021 after living in Washington, DC for over 25 years. We are avid travelers - particularly Europe. We’ve found that great stays can help make trips more memorable! So we want you to have a relaxing, wonderful stay.

Why they chose this property

We were attracted by the small town charm of Wilmington's historic district that reminds us of our Capitol Hill neighborhood in Washington without the congestion and traffic! History around every corner coupled with great restaurants, museums, historic homes, the Riverwalk, theaters, and concerns at Live Oak Pavilion - all within walking distance!

What makes this property unique

Tastefully decorated with premium bedding and all the conveniences of home. We've tried to include everything to make your stay more enjoyable. Plus, dog-friendly! As dog-parents, we understand the challenges of finding pet-friendly travel accommodations, especially for large dogs. So, we wanted to create a space that was welcoming of the entire family including your fur baby!
