    The apartment was lovely, clean, and just as pictured. The kitchen was well appointed and appeared to have all the supplies needed for cooking. We had plenty of space and loved the architecture of the home. Thank you for a great stay near downtown!

    We spent a lovely weekend exploring downtown Wilmington, Wrightsville beach and UNCW. This beautiful apartment was the perfect spot. The pictures don’t due it justice. Bill was easy to work with and made our stay enjoyable. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Next time!

    We enjoyed walking to nearby shops and restaurants in this historic neighborhood. Very close proximity to drive to the waterfront area. Apartment decor has a lovely french theme. Well stocked kitchen. Spacious bath.The apartment is second floor with normal conversation, footsteps, and other sounds traveling easily from the level above. Night time was quiet until people outside arrived home loudly. So your stay might depend upon whoever else shares the house.I gave 4 out of 5 for listing accuracy for a couple of things different in case it is important to someone. Photos of bedrooms are both of the same room. The other bedroom is very similar, but does not have a desk. No DVD player, although some movies are provided. Appliances are within the last 10 years, but not brand new as the listing might imply. TV worked well with Netflix, and the sofa is very comfortable. Mattress of the bedroom across from the bathroom was uncomfortable by night two, showing signs of need for updating. Note: Most current wifi name and password is in the VRBO listing site, not what is in the info binder. Most current info for check-in process will be in an email, not what is listed at the VRBO listing check-in description. We got hung up on that at first, thinking we needed to use the lock box, and a different code, but the owners soon replied. Same for check out process. Be sure to check an email before you leave which gives detailed instructions for everything. Listing needs several updates.

    Loved this place! Met my best friend in Wilmington for a quick girls getaway, and this was perfect for us. My friend lives to cook so she prepared dinner both nights and we had almost everything we needed in the kitchen. Owner is very responsive and eager to help in any way. Will definitely go back!

    Beautiful and clean property. The hosts were so attentive and kind. If we lived in Wilmington we’d want to be their friends! :). We are looking forward to our next trip to NC (from Colorado) and will definitely plan to stay there again.
