Beautiful historic home with lots of charm! Comfortable beds, soft towels, gas grill, and well appointed kitchen. Surrounding streets were a bit older/run down, but there were plenty of blocks that had neat old houses to look at and we went walking in the evening and felt perfectly safe. Enjoyed the rocking chairs on the front porch- great location for coffee in the morning or wine at night.

GREAT place to stay in Wilmington, particularly if visiting the historic district and riverfront. It's a little far, and traffic congested, if you're looking for an ocean fun-in-the-sun vacation. It was PERFECT for us.The house is exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated. The living spaces are functional and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. A full length mirror would be a nice addition.The only negative for us was the lack of a railing on the front steps. There are just a few but they vary in height and carrying luggage was a bit scary for us old folks!

Our stay at the Charming Cottage was perfect! Everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The host checked in with us the day we were set to arrive, the morning after to ensure we had everything we needed, and the day we left to ensure we had a good stay. The "tiny" house (as my 5-year-old called it) was in a great location, and we had no issues with street parking outside the home. Thank you again for sharing your home with us... we may very well be back next year!

This house worked wonderfully for our mom and sisters’ weekend. The location was good and everything was very comfortable. The owner was extremely communicative, messaging often and checking on us and responding quickly to any questions I had. One word of caution - the steps into the house are steep and do not have a rail. My mother struggled some with those, but she is 95 (although in great shape.) otherwise we enjoyed our stay very much and would not hesitate to go back.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The house was adorable and clean; also well equipped. The beds were comfortable. We went to a concert and the venue was nearby. We did use an Uber. The house is also very close to downtown with tons of shops and restaurants. We ate lunch at Rebellion and it was delicious! We look forward to coming back and staying longer. The teen girls enjoyed Independence Mall which is also very close by. My nephew is attending UNCW so he drove in and hung out with us. We’ll definitely return! Very pleased!

Wonderful place to stay in Wilmington

We stayed here for 3 nights during St. Patrick's Day weekend and had a wonderful time. The accommodations were very clean and well kept. The house has been nicely remodeled and provided a modern feel to this 100 year-old house. We loved the Keurig coffee maker and Donut Shop pods and Twinnings tea that really helped getting our mornings started. There are plenty of kitchen accoutrements if you want to cook here and the new BBQ on the back deck will take care of your grilling needs. Our hosts provided soaps and shampoos in the bathrooms and there's a new washer/dryer to do laundry. But the reasons we chose this over other places were the rocking chairs and swing on the porch. They did not disappoint as they provided a perfect place for relaxing in this quiet neighborhood at the end of a long day in Wilmington. We definitely will stay here again when we return to visit Wilmington.

The location of this cottage was great, it’s about a twenty minute walk to the river. We loved the decor in the house, the master bedroom was super spacious, and the outdoor deck was great for grilling and hanging out. I’d recommend bringing some kitchen items to stay if you’re cooking since it wasn’t super stocked. We also had trouble getting into the house, we got locked out due to the keypad breaking and had to wait a while to get back in. The only other issue we had was with the doorknobs. The twin bedroom door handle was broken so we had to keep the door open. If those things were changed in the future we’d definitely be back!
