Ladies Trip
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.

Beautiful House
This place was perfect! I really liked the house, it was clean and the area was quiet. it was not very far from the beach and all the places to eat were very close. We were lucky enough to get in touch with our host. Which was nice. If you are planning a trip, I recommend staying here!

Felt like home
Needed a place to stay for college move-in day and this house was located close to Downtown and UNCW. Quiet, great fire pit, clean inside and decorated nicely. Came with several coffee options and stocked cabinet. My family enjoyed the stay immensely and I highly recommend it.

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.

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.

Adorable Property
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!

We all thought the house was decorated so beautifully with such attention to details! Also impressed with so many thoughtful items such as great coffee, teas, snack bars, all the soaps, paper towels, toilet paper, and much more! Whoever designed and did the renovations did a classy job! Well done! Highly recommend staying in this cute house!

We were in town for a family wedding, the house could not have been more perfect! Great space that flows well both inside and out. Clean roomy amd well stocked. My only regret is that i didn’t finish the book borrowed form the extensive library wall! 😊. Highly recommend Historic Ardmore House

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!

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.
