The location is perfect for everything downtown in Wilmington and directly across from the ship. Easy check-in and prompt communication with the Host. All matched the listing for the most part. There's no oven, rather a 2 burner cook top. Bed was very comfortable! The heat pump/air exchange is VERY loud as it is right beside the bed, and ambient light outside makes the room bright. I wear earplugs and use a sleep mask, so it was ok. The only real issue was with the Spectrum TV internet access, particularly in the living room. I called the host and we tried various things, but to no avail. The WiFi worked most of the time, but the TV had no Internet. I ended up just using the hotspot on my phone so we could watch the NCAA basketball games. The host called Spectrum and they came the 2nd day and it was fixed (he sent photos) but it wasn't working when we got back in the evening. It was a Spectrum thing, not an issue with the TV itself. It was just disappointing because I chose that unit for the big TV in the living room.The view is spectacular on the balcony. The chairs out there are fake wicker that are showing their age, but make a morning view of the boat with a cup of coffee comfy.The toilet flushed very slowly, so we held the handle down until it all flushed down. The toilet rod is loose in the bathroom, just needs to be tightened or replaced.Overall a fect place for walking Wilmington at a pretty reasonable price. The parking pass is a big plus!

Great place, lacking host

First, the property and location were perfect. I loved this place and if I’d had a better host experience, I would stay here again. My husband and I stayed here for a charity event two weekends ago. It was great. The first thing that was disappointing was when I mentioned I was arriving 30 min early but would go find a place to hang out. As a host myself I thought they may offer to give me the code early- but no- they waited until exactly 2:59 to send it. Then I messaged to ask if my friend could come by. She wasn’t staying the night and we were not at capacity for the unit but I thought it would be respectful to ask first. Host never responded so I didn’t feel comfortable having her over. Finally, I had to ask multiple times to get my damage deposit back. If I hadn’t, I likely would not have gotten it. As a host myself, all of this is really unacceptable.

Great Stay.

Everything was great. Only draw back is no onsite parking. We had to park two blocks away in a parking garage. Stop pick up pass then park car. Then go get car and come back to leave the pass. Not convenient. . .

We had a great time on our visit to Wilmy! It was so nice to watch the river each evening and again in the morning with our coffee. The condo is perfect. We would definitely stay here again.

Uncomfortable

The net over the patio was such a turn off. You didn't want to sit out there because of the way it looked. The couch was so uncomfortable that it was very hard to watch TV. I glad we only stayed one night.

Location, Location, Location

The location of this riverfront property is ideal. We have stayed in this area often over the last 10 years or so. The views are amazing, we enjoy the Farmer's mkt, being able to walk to everything. This property is well appointed. New policy of the HOA is that netting be placed on the balcony due to pigeons, it impedes the view somewhat & was disappointing but this is a great property. Highly recommend

Great location, lacking in other ways

My husband I came to spend some time at the beach and view the fireworks. We’ve stayed in this building a couple times before. Pros: location, cleanliness Cons: View obstructed by pigeon netting that was apparently new. It is not in the photos. Our whole reason for staying in this condo was to view the fireworks from our balcony. Patio furniture falling apart and parking is off the premises. We’ve previously parked at the building.

Terrific View!

Perfect spot for a getaway for us. We went Sunday & Monday nights & it worked out great, as Sunday was very busy around town but Monday much less crowded. High floor in building made it more quiet, too. Kitchen very well equipped. Great view of the river and battleship. Be careful while unloading/loading car as they are very strict with the rules. Took a long time to get security deposit back - the only real downside. Overall we would recommend this property.
