The Front Street Inn places you smack dab in the middle of everything downtown Wilmington. It's not…read moreyour traditional Inn with a check in desk and bellmen; rather you check in with an entry code sent to your email before your stay. There is no official front desk, so we spoke with the people at the stand by the parking lot, and they were able to share information and assist bringing my parents' bags to their room, up a flight of stairs. There's a small sitting area on the balcony outside the rooms, and each room has its own unique decor. We love the eye for detail and design. Our room is The Hamptons, with two double beds and a separate room with TV and sitting area and desk (though it is open to the bedroom because no doors exist in the doorway; it would be cool if they had sliding doors to separate the spaces). The bar downstairs is lively and fun with amazing cocktails and a few small bite options, and it operates from the backyard yard of the Inn, so be prepared for a bit of noise from that and the street to filter into the room especially on weekends. This bar doubles as the Concord Espresso House that serves amazing espresso drinks and pastries in the morning. The indoor seating is low key elegant, a great spot to sit and start your morning.

This is a really distinctive and memorable place to stay with a can't-be-beat location. The suites…read morearen't enormous, but they feel much more spacious than they are thanks to smart furniture placement, high ceilings, and soaring windows that look onto great views of the river area and Front St. The Riverwalk is less than two minutes away on foot, and there are dozens of nice shops, restaurants, and lounges within a five-minute walking radius. (Definitely stop into the Fortunate Glass, a wine bar located just a couple of blocks down.) Innkeeper Fran is a bundle of welcoming hospitality. The check-in process is as friendly and informative as it gets. The suites have a comfy couch; a kitchenette with sink, microwave, mini-fridge, and dishes/utensils; a decent-sized bathroom with good water volume; and a sleeping area upstairs with a ceiling fan. I found the bed to be quite comfortable. There's a shared patio with a river view out back and an icemaker in the hall for common use. No food or drinks are available on-site, but there's a great convenience market around the corner with anything you might need for the room. Just a few things to know: --If you absolutely must have a silent environment, you may run into a few issues. Noise from the hallway is audible in the rooms, but thankfully guests seem to abide by the quiet hours and there wasn't any guest noise later in the evening. Also, there are a couple of nightclubs nearby and (on the weekends at least), there was some music carryover noise. --The only TV is upstairs in the sleeping loft; there is not one in the living/sitting area. --Parking is by permit in a lot about a 90-second walk away. You won't have an assigned space, but I didn't have any problems getting one. --No daily housekeeping, but there is a basket with a checklist you can place outside your door if you need something replenished. This beats any chain hotel experience and has more of a bed-and-breakfast sort of vibe, only with no breakfast and a very different architectural set-up.

Perfect location for a walkable weekend in Wilmington!…read more We stayed in the Inchochine room. It was cozy and fun to live back in time for the weekend. Staying in this historic home brought magic to exploring the quaint town of Wilmington. The BnB is run by a husband, wife and son who welcomed and provided recommendations of activities. We walked the riverwalk through downtown to the Cotton Exchange to shop the local art and goods. We enjoyed dinner at Oliverio, cocktails and apps at Rumcow, night caps at Concord Espresso Martini Bar, and live music at Rebellion. We drove further to sunbathe at the beaches, walk trails at Greenfield Lake Park, and smell the flowers at Airlie Gardens. The BnB offers a daily breakfast. It was well balanced and had something for everyone. French toast, sausage patty, hash brown egg casserole, and fresh fruit with yogurt. One day there was a baked cinnamon apple tart and it was to die for! Breakfast beverages included cranberry juice, OJ, coffee and water. Note, the parking lot is a little tricky to maneuver but there's also plenty of street parking as an alternative. Great thing is that you can walk all weekend not worrying about driving. Definitely will stay again next time in Wilmington!

As I'm writing this I'm still in disbelief that this happened…read more We were woken up to knocking on our door at 332am. Trisha, the wife/owner, came inside our room in a panic saying she heard the toilet running. Okay...yes it was, but do you need to wake up customers spending over $250 a night with you? She left and said, "sorry" on the way out. I wasn't able to fall back asleep until about 730am, causing me to miss breakfast. My girlfriend, who did actually get some sleep and was able to attend breakfast, said Tricia mentioned, "my husband would be so upset with me if he was here." I guess that's an apology, though she was nowhere to be seen the next morning and I didn't get an apology. I did get a to-go bag with a yogurt, a banana, and a coffee. No hot breakfast. Adding a star because there is free street parking out front.

Stayed here for a weekend getaway to the beach. The host and hostess were wonderful and so sweet…read more Price was very reasonable and breakfast was home cooked and delicious. Also, the couple owns a restaurant close by so if you want to sleep in and miss breakfast you can go there for a later brunch for free. Accommodations were very clean and atmosphere was great- sort of a mix of Victorian through the 1940s style. Our room had a private bath which was also convenient. The only thing that would have been nice is if it had been within walking distance of the river walk but it was only a 5 minute drive and easy enough to uber to. Would highly recommend!

My room was perfect, wonderful accommodations, the best home cooking I've ever had, and two gracious hosts. It had rained most of my trip, and when I came back soaking wet Angie told me to leave my clothes outside my door that night and she'd wash them for me.... they were outside my door by 7am clean and folded. The promotional video on her website says "they love the food, they love the house, they love me" and that couldn't be more true.

Located just a few blocks from downtown in a very nice, historic neighborhood…read more Larry and Page were very gracious hosts. Respected our privacy, but were also very engaging when we sought conversation. Obviously, being in the historic district, it is an old house...with all the charms and negatives that come with an old house. Poor insulation (room was a little cold), old/settled floors (our bathroom floor was uneven), and of course, difficulty with WIFI access. We could not get WIFI in our room and had to go down to the living room to pick up signal. Which is OK....but we wanted to watch a Netflix movie before bed. I would recommend they advertise that WIFI is available in the common areas only....or get a second router/wifi booster. Breakfast was at 0830....kind of early for a weekend stay..... Had that unusual awkwardness walking into the dining room to sit down and eat with people you don't know.....but, as has always been the case for us, the other guests were extremely friendly and we had a great time. Pecan waffles were excellent, with perfectly cooked bacon. Page sat down with us after all the food was out and we all had nice conversation. Finally, Hoge Wood House is one of the few, maybe only, B&Bs in this area that allow kids under 12. THM (Take Home Message): Very warm and inviting hosts in Larry and Page. Walking distance to downtown. Excellent breakfast. Allow children under 12 y/o. Wished WiFi worked in the guest rooms. $160 per night. Probably more expensive in peak season. Still cheaper than Holiday Inn Resort at Wrightsville Beach.

Back at The Verandas, we enjoyed a late night glass of sherry while flipping through old books of photographs. Breakfast the next morning was elegant, delicious and very filling. All the other guests were so friendly and kind. Not sure if we'll ever get back to Wilmington, but if we do, we'll definitely stay at the Verandas again!

We were greeted by the owner of the B&B Sophie, she was so friendly and very accommodating, we loved her, and the house and booked for 2 nights. Sophie went way out of her way to make us feel at home. She asked us what we like to eat, not just for breakfast, but just about everything.

Her breakfast the next morning was amazing with eggs, sausage, bacon, waffles and toast with "real butter".. Lol.. If you stay here you will understand what that means!
