    We all loved the location (easy walk to the riverwalk) and close to family members who live neartby. All rooms were attractively decorated and very comfortable. Kitchen was perfect to help prepare Thanksgiving sides. Best of all, our host was wonderfully responsive and very acommodating when we had a difficlut situation. We would definitely stay there again.

    The property itself was gorgeous and had a lot of charm, and overall our stay was enjoyable. That said, there were a few issues worth noting for future guests. One of the bathroom doors was off its hinges when we arrived, and the fan and lights in the master bedroom did not work. The AC could have been stronger, especially in the warmer parts of the day.Privacy is limited — as expected for a downtown location — but you can literally see into the neighboring house from the bedroom. The parking situation was also tricky. It’s street parking only (first come, first serve), and while that’s completely normal where I’m from (NYC), the neighbors became upset when we parked in front of their house, which was uncomfortable.All that said, the property itself was beautiful, well-located, and had a lot to offer. With a few repairs and some clarity on parking expectations, it could easily be a five-star stay.

    House was located in a beautiful neighborhood. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhoods and looking at the historic homes in the area. Our house was just as described with everything we needed! Great location with a short walk to the boardwalk. Jordan was quick to respond when needed.

    This was the best vacation rental we’ve ever stayed in! We had a big family (7 adults and 2 babies) staying and it was perfectly sized. It was clean, well stocked and in a very convenient location. The host was amazing!! Very quick with responses and very accommodating. I will be recommending anyone staying in Wilmington to book here. Thank you for the great experience!

    This beautiful home has spacious bedrooms, all with their own bathrooms. The kitchen is wonderful, although the refrigerator is a bit small. The laundry was nice with its full-size washer and dryer, too. The house is walking distance to Front Street, so it's close to great restaurants and the river. This property is a gem!

    516 allowed our family a comfortable stay while celebrating our youngest son’s wedding in downtown Wilmington. Conveniently located within walking distance to restaurants and waterfront. The home was spacious and comfortable. A lovely wraparound front porch was enjoy all! Any questions for owners had a rapid response time.

    Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The door access code worked on the first attempt and our initial impression was that the home was beautifully decorated and very calming. Each time we returned to the home, someone in our group would comment on how appealing it was. Each room had a minimalist feel and was roomy, clean, and bright. The dining area and living room had plenty of seating for our group of six adults. The beds were so comfortable that we asked Jared (host) where we could purchase similar mattresses and he promptly provided the information. There were plenty of electrical outlets in the main area to recharge our eleven laptops, tablets, phones, and drones and the wifi was fast and flawless. It was appointed with everything we needed, and the location was within walking distance to dining options and within 10 minutes drive to the airport. The next time we visit Wilmington, this home will be our top choice.
