The Verandas

Dale, the manager who greeted me, did a great job handling my special requests, my need for information, help with parking, etc. This is a beautiful home and a great place for couples, or even single folks, to unwind and to enjoy being in the heart of Wilmington’s wonderful historic district.

The Verandas is awesome bed and breakfast. Very friendly staff,very clean rooms and the nest breakfast to eat. I definitely recommend this place to stay. This house is very beautiful inside and out. The shower and garden tubs are amazing. This is my first time at a b and b and will definitely come to the Verandas again.

Historic architecture, pleasant, accommodating staff. A lovely experience during our 3 night stay. We would book again.

This is an amazing place to stay in Wilmington! It is very elegant inside and staff are so friendly. They serve a gourmet breakfast every day this is delicious and filling! They have coffee, tea, water, homemade cookies in the main rooms throughout the day and beautiful verandas - hence the name! We felt like we were living in the 1800's as the owners of the house by the beauty of this place. We highly recommend this place and would stay there again.

The property was nice but there was no staff after 5. So our air conditioner wasn’t working and there was no one to help with that and also checkout

GORGEOUS home, STUNNINGLY furnished. We're in our late 60s, from Manhattan and have travelled the world and, hands-down, probably the most beautiful and elegantly furnished B&B we've stayed at in the U.S. The 2 men who previously owned it had exceptional taste in upholstery fabrics, wallpaper, color. UNFORTUNATELY...we were greeted by a young woman whose voice was 3x louder than any human being I have ever been in the presence of...wearing an outfit that was...er, "remarkable" for someone greeting guests at this stunning historic home. Our room was on the 3rd floor and every word she said, downstairs, in the kitchen behind walls, was like it was blasted through loudspeakers. Totally had no self-awareness, NO understanding of her role. (And I might add that we're not "formal" people -- very chatty and friendly and happy). Dining room is stunning -- 14 ft (?) ceilings at least, gorgeously furnished and beautiful table set for breakfast which was...inedible. I am not a picky eaters, and we like oats -- but this was like some parfait of rolled oats and yogurt -- we both had a bite and just -- couldn't. Looking around the table, that seemed to be true for all. THEN there was the bedding. It was late January. It was warm for the season but COLD at night. Our bed had a sheet on it and what I had originally thought was a quite but was actully just a very thin blanket -- not wool but modern, inexpensive. I searched the room for a blanket and found -- another blanket. One of those loosely woven cotton ones that you can see through. The sheets were also thin -- that was not a problem but point is NO WARMTH. Also, the pillows were many on the bed but useless. Incredibly soft and odd . I have slept with many various types of pillows and am not picky but these were impossible. When I asked if they might have another pillow -- they were utterly flummoxed by the request. STUNNING BUILDING. BEAUTIFULLY FURNISHED. UTTERLY ELEGANT. GREAT LOCATION -- can walk to the river and river walk BUT -- boy, do they need new/better staff and a COOK! Just give me bacon and eggs and coffee and some toast or a roll -- I am not fussy!

Every moment was special. We were treated well and the rooms were lovely. Breakfast was elegant. The staff was very friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived to the last minute. They helped us with whatever we asked and more.

The Verandas is a gem…convenient yet quiet location, beautifully restored historic home, friendly and helpful staff, yummy breakfasts! Natalie and Dillon make every effort to accommodate and make guests feel welcome and at home. We look forward to returning on our next trip.

Magnificently restored historic mansion, conveniently located to downtown Wilmington. Our room was very large and comfortable and beautifully decorated. Only complaint is the pillows on the bed (kind of hard). The staff is exceptional in every way...friendly, welcoming, polite, professional. Breakfast was delightful.
