We loved our stay at the Butterly Hideout and everything was so easy and delightful. I helped my daughter look for places to live and we found a place for her nearby so I will be back when I (and or my husband and dog at times) will be back for sure to visit her. Best, Mary

Stayed Mar 9, 2025We'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.

The neighborhood is quiet, and there are blocks upon blocks of beautiful historic homes to explore. The hosts have thought of all the little details, including a great selection of coffee, microwave popcorn for an afternoon treat, and dog bones for our pup. There's a detailed guest guide with QR codes for local restaurants and bars. We had a fantastic dinner at a local hole-in-the-wall called Savorez, a great lunch at On Thyme, and enjoyed more good-eats along the river walk at the Pilot House and the George. Wayne and Bobby have created an inviting getaway spot to enjoy all that Historic Wilmington has to offer. We look forward to visiting again.
