We had a wonderful stay and were very pleased with the whole experience. The house was perfect for our family during our Thanksgiving visit. Clean, well-equipped, and exactly as described. Jo Ann was very communicative and courteous. The location made most of our trip activities easily walkable while still being relatively quiet at night. Would happily return!

Jo Ann's home was beautiful, comfortable and so convenient to the many great restaurants in Wilmington. The dedicated parking spots made coming and going so easy. We would highly recommend and look forward to returning in a few months.

OMG. This was the perfect location. Jo Ann is such a sweet lady & I can’t wait to book her space again next time we come down to Wilmington. It’s probably the most cleanest Airbnb I’ve been in so far. If I had questions she responded in a timely manner, the home is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I 100% would recommend this place to anyone who is wanting to book!
