Christmas in Wilmington

Our daughter had to work and couldn't make it home for the holiday, so we went to her. The house was perfect for our plans - lots of eating, watching TV and board game playing ;) The house has a beautiful and charming interior, is spacious and well-appointed and the amenities top notch. The kitchen was a joy to cook in, the sofa in the TV viewing area was comfortable, the size of the TV was perfect scale for that space and the dining table was the perfect size for playing board games. The neighborhood is historic and quiet - just what we were looking for. A very nice Christmas in a lovely home :)

Lovely property and responsive property manager

The size, layout and bedroom/bed configuration worked well for my group of friends in town for an athletic event. The needs of individuals can be quite different from family needs and this house proved to be the perfect solution. It was nice to be able to hang out at the house to relax, make meals or to work. The WIFI seemed to be adequate for those working, which was a bonus. The convention center was within walking distance, as well as the downtown area. This was the reason why we chose this place and we were happy. Our only hiccup was the thermostat/heat for the house. It seems that they recently installed a NEST device where the guest doesn't have access to full control, but this was remedied within the day. It would have been nice to have written instructions on use and what to do. The kitchen isn't the most equipped for "full on" cooking, which is something that we did and may not be important for many. I've booked other houses that were better and worse. Lydia was great - she was responsive to our needs. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Guys trip

Group of us guys get together every year and go somewhere, unfortunately this year I got hurt, no fault to anyone or anything. But what a vibrant town. Great food and venues would like to see more vegetarian options. The Mason house is as depicted. Loved the front porch rocking chairs. Neighbors are friendly, as is the town. Only downside is parking downtown and traffic cameras. Definitely will come back.

About the host

Hosted by Lydia Sobhan

Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach has been my home for 8 years and counting. I am a UNCW alumni, with a property management background. I'm a local Realtor helping others buy, sell, and invest in this incredible beach town. I can tell you all the best local restaurants and bars to check out, along with some great tips on where you should go for a great sunset view. My goal is that every guest has a 5 star experience during their stay. And hey, if you decide its time to have a place for yourself on the coast of NC, I can help with that too.

Why they chose this property

Nothing but 5 STAR ratings on Airbnb!
You will be pleasantly surprised to find almost 2,000 sqft in this eclectic home. A full remodel was done recently - including a dream kitchen with granite countertops, double wall ovens, a professional-grade cooktop, pot filler and custom coffee/wine bar with a wine refrigerator. 2 Kings, 1 queen, and 1 twin bed allow for the whole family to come and enjoy a getaway vacation comfortably.

The location could not be more ideal for our guests to step off the front porch and begin exploring all that downtown Wilmington has to offer.
