Lovely property on a quiet but very accessible street. It was very well maintained and had everything that was needed, including lots of nice little touches like extra soap, washing detergent, hand towel towels, makeup removal, towel towels, all the things that you need in order to really feel like you’re on a vacation.

New Years Getaway to visit Daughters

Our stay here was amazing!! We were able to walk to my favorite coffee shop, Hidden Grounds. Enjoy the 70 degree weather at Wrightsville Beach for a day. Loved the mornings relaxing on the front porch. If you are traveling to Wilmington, I highly recommend staying at Going to Carolina!

Lovely Historic House in Wilmington NC

Our group was 5 ladies all over the age of 75 who have been getting together for decades. We loved the house. It was convenient to walk to the water front with lots of wonderful restaurants. The beds are wonderful, the kitchen is well appointed, everything is great. It is a great place to stay.

We loved the comfortable beds, linens and complimentary coffee/creamers. The front porch was so charming. Kitchen was very well stocked with absolutely amazing cookware, sponge, dishwasher detergent, etc. Location was excellent; quiet and friendly. Parking was adequate on the street. Thank you so much for memorable stay!

Feels like home!

GREAT location--felt like home! Loved the front porch and all of the houses along the street look family owned. Neighbors were friendly. House itself was perfect for our family to stay. Welcome basket of snacks, make-up towels, and visitor info binder were a nice touch. Walked a different way downtown each time to check out all of the adorable places along the way. Great restaurant, Castle Street Kitchen, around the corner--they even offered my daughter a job when she starts college in the fall!!! I hope we can stay here again when we come to visit her!!!
