Enjoying The Port City!

5 of 5
Submitted: December 4, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
Absolutely thrilled with our time at Magnolia House! We flew into Wilmington during Hurricane Sandy which made all of us (7 adults & 1 baby) a little anxious. But we arrived safe and sound and Katie, the property manager, was there to greet us as promised.
We were in Wilmington to host a baby shower for my first grandchild. The Magnolia House was PERFECT! We all felt right at home and found ourselves spending most of our time gathering in the kitchen either preparing the food for the shower or just hanging around the table enjoying our visit. There were approximately 50-60 guests at the shower and there was plenty of room for everyone to move around and mingle comfortably. We did all of the food ourselves and the large kitchen made it easy for 4 or more to be working together.
I will definitely consider another stay at Magnolia House. It's got plenty of room for a large group and far more comfortable than staying in a hotel! Not to mention more economical. As I said there were 7 adults & 1 baby in our group. We all had more than enough privacy when we needed it as well as the space to gather together when we wanted to share a meal or just hangout.
Natalie (the owner) was great about answering emails & phone calls and never made me feel like I was a bother. And Katie (the property manager) was also there when we needed her.
Thank you to both of you for helping to make our visit to The Port City so wonderful!

A real home away from home

5 of 5
Submitted: November 29, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
Our extended family rented this wonderful home for Thanksgiving and to be "wedding central" for our daughter's wedding. It served us well on both counts. Although the house needs some attention physically we loved the homey character and the amazing amount of space. It was a dream to cook Thanksgiving dinner in that huge kitchen! The house just begs to be really "lived in" with lots of room for little ones to move and for us older folks to relax without getting in each other's way.
The house manager, Katie was very helpful as was the owner, Natalie. The fresh flowers and banana bread on arrival were a welcome touch.
Nearly every member of our family spoke of wanting to buy the house because it just has that kind of effect. The beds aren't the most comfortable, the plumbing is old, and the floors aren't level but not a bit of that matters because charm wins out. It was absolutely a wonderful week and we would not hesitate to return. If you are looking for a perfectly restored historical home to rent this is not for you. But if you are looking for a place to make unforgettable family memories do so without hesitation.
Thanks for a wonderful stay!! ....and Natalie, if you decide to sell let us know :)

JAG Review

Submitted: October 1, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
We recently rented this beautiful home to attend our daughter's wedding. The property was more than we expected. It was an absolute delight. There was plenty of room, it was very clean and well kept. The kitchen was outstanding. The spacious accommodated our needs as we had five families (12 people) who either drove or flew in for the special event and the home offered plenty of areas for relaxing and visiting. It was a short drive to the beach and only 8 blocks from the Brooklyn Arts Center where the wedding was held. It was easily accessible to the main travel routes. We would not hesitate booking this property again. Thanks for the special memories!
Owner's Response: Dear Julie,
Thank you for your review! I enjoyed helping you plan for your stay, and hope your daughter's wedding was magical. I'm so glad that you enjoyed your visit. We would love to welcome you and your family back again for another celebration!
All the best,
Natalie

Wilmington wedding

Submitted: September 30, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
We stayed here with a group of friends and hosted a rehearsal dinner. The backyard has a magnificent, huge old magnolia tree. We set up round tables under the tree for dining. The setting was very welcoming and was everything I had pictured it would be. Middle of the Island was the caterer and I highly recommend them. The house was perfect for our group of ten adults and two children, there is plenty of room in the house to fit a group this size comfortably. The beds are all very comfortable. The refrigerator is big and the freezer is a separate appliance so there is plenty of room for ice etc. the cupcakes waiting for us to arrive were a sweet surprise!
Libby and Natalie are helpful and easy to work with. This is a great choice for a large group planning a trip to Wilmington.

I hope that you will have many wonderful memories of your stay, and will consider returning again soon!

Wonderful Historic Home

5 of 5
Submitted: September 29, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
We had an adult cousin reunion is this beautiful home, which provided plenty of space for all. When we entered, it was like going back in time - reminded me of our grandparents' house which we all liked to visit, with staircase, glass doorknobs, high ceilings, etc. The house was tastefully and comfortably furnished, especially the "to-die-for" kitchen where we gathered for coffee and breakfast. The dining room with large table gave us a comfortable place to share a meal and memories. Everyone seemed comfortable with sleeping arrangements, and 3 bathrooms upstairs made it easy to share. With living room and den, we had space to gather in groups. Nice neighborhood with sidewalks encouraged walking. A tour of Wilmington gave us insight into the history of the area. We are thankful to the owner for sharing her home for an extended weekend for our reunion, the manager for making sure we had what we needed, and especially cousins living in the area who provided such gracious hospitality.

Owner's Response: Dear Ann,
Thank you for your kind review. It was a pleasure accommodating the family of our neighbors, and made it extra special for us to know that you were able to enjoy being in the same neighborhood. A cousin's weekend is such a great tradition, and one I would love to start in my own family! Come back to the Magnolia House for another visit soon.
Best,
Natalie
