This home was beauty from the time you pull up throughout the whole home. I traveled with my sweet family to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. Everything was within 10 minutes, from downtown, to the mall area and Wrightsville beach was roughly 20 minutes away. The host were very accommodating and replied quickly to any questions.

Beautiful Home in Great Location

House and location were absolutely great. Loved our time here, ZERO complaints. Home is very well laid out, and was very comfortable for 6 adults. Comfortable beds and quality linens. For being a historic home, it had very good noise insulation. We had people up at 5am, and other sleeping in until 11am, and everyone was comfortable.The kitchen is well appointed for cooking large meals - sharp knives, heavy bottomed stainless steel pots, and gas stove were appreciated. Outdoor spaces are comfortable and the plants well cared for.AC works great!And the LOCATION IS GREAT! We visited Wrightville Beach several times, Harbor Way Gardens, Arilie Gardens, and the CAM Museum. We loved Manna for a nice meal out, Benny's had excellent pizza and great ambiance, and The Wondering Cone was the best ice cream stop. For those who enjoy a stogie, The Cigar Exchange in downtown is a wonderful establishment. The owner has been their 25 years, is friendly and knowledgeable.Would absolutely recommend this home, and will stay here again when visiting Wilmington.

Overall it was a great stay. Home is beautiful, layout and decor on point. The only issue was a little food left in kitchen sink, refrigerator wasn't cleaned and toaster oven wasn't cleaned. Property manager answered all text in a timely manner. It was very relaxing and much needed.

What a wonderful, historic home to spend time with family. My son made a recent move to Wilmington for work. This was my first time to the area and to visit him. I brought with me my mother, grandmother (92) and daughter. The home was perfect for our stay and well equipped for nights we chose to cook. I would definitely stay here again and appreciate the hospitality.

Wedding Reception Stay

The owner was extremely flexible with our changing plans. The house is gorgeous. It is well laid out with all the little touches provided. We didn’t have time but the back deck would have been relaxing during a longer stay. The only small gotcha would be the parking if a larger group was there.

A Happy Reunion!

Friends from college reunite in Wilmington. We’re given a deluxe tour by one of our friends who is a new resident but already knows the city like a native. The Ardmore house was a wonderful place to call home for our week in Wilmington. The friendly, responsive management has thought of everything! The house is the perfect combination of comfort, convenience and creativity! We would come back in a heartbeat!

One of the best rentals in Wilmington

Our housing plans fell through at the last minute for the weekend - hours before we were supposed to arrive into the city - and we were lucky enough to have this house still available for our use. Communication with the owners was perfect, and they ensured we settled in comfortably after arrival. The house is beautiful and was in the center of everything for us! We had the best weekend and it had a lot to do with this location.

This property is just adorable! From the historic details that were kept to the fantastic amenities, I cannot say enough good things about the Ardmore House! The front porch was delightful and the neighbors all waved and said hello, just like we were old friends. The property manager was super responsive and gave us great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. We will definitely be returning!
