Richatd was very detailed about everything when checking in and even had muffins waiting for us,we were traveling woth our boxer and standard poodle so we loved there was a park within walking distance, and it is pretty close to downtown wilmington and local beaches. Pwrfect for a weekend getaway in wilmington if you have dogs and dont care about staying right on a beach

This host is amazing! We had fresh fruit and muffins waiting on us after our long drive and the home was already air conditioned and had ice in the ice maker! Beautiful home with every amenity you could imagine. This is the only place I'll stay next time we visit the area.

The property in Wilmington was just as described. The space had everything we needed and the hosts were friendly and available. Although we were tucked away in a neighborhood, it was easy to get to major roads and highways.

Mr Richard graciously welcomed us and was so very thorough in sharing where everything was! We enjoyed our stay. Quaint tiny cottage with lots of amenities! Mr Richard says he will be adding a driveway soon, as the current one is a shared entrance close to main house and close to neighbors. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.

We had a wonderful stay in this fantastic cottage,,, its a beautiful home and the owner went way beyond our expectations, with all kinds of welcoming amenities to make our stay so very comfortable.

Quite the charmer! Very quiet neighborhood. Hosts are the sweetest people and very eager to ensure their guests enjoy their stay.
We did not venture out to find the lake- hoping to do that next time.

The owner of the property is such a nice person. He gave us a tour of the property when we got there and let us know how everything worked. The little house is lovely and we enjoyed our stay. Pet friendly, too! A huge plus. :)

This was a great place to stay. I came to Wilmington to visit a friend and needed a place to stay and work from. Excellent hospitality, all the comforts of home were available. Richard didn’t skip a single thing. I liked the small touches that made this a great place, TV’s and Netflix in every room, Siri and google, the small food items (eggs, milk, muffins, fruit, coffee), and washer/dryer, just to name a few.
I would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to anyone visiting Wilmington.

We arrived and Richard was waiting for us. He lives in the next door house. He is available without being intrusive. He stocked the house with many essentials, including milk and eggs. Cleanliness is very important to me; I would use his cleaning service for my own home if I could.

We had a soccer tournament at Ogden Park for the weekend so we we’re trying to find somewhere near where to crash.
We found a comfortable place with great communication from the owner, quite neighborhood, enough space for my wife and i and 2 kids.
The price was better than the hotel we had planned, my kids had a tv in their room so that helped keep downstairs quite for me and the wife.
Well equipped cottage with everything you need and more.
We are planning to come back during the summer just to visit Wilmington.
Thank you for the hospitality.

We normally stay in a camping cabin at the KOA - this time we wanted something more comfortable for a longer stay with our dogs
The Tupelo Guest House hit all the boxes - it was in the perfect location - 5 minutes from Market Street so it was close to everything. I had a great kitchen with a coffee bar and dining table, the living room was great with comfortable couch and two chairs. The two bedrooms had comfortable beds and linens. The bathroom had everything we could need including nice (big and plus) towels, plus a washer dryer - wow. There was a big TV in the living room, and TVs in each bedroom
Let me tell you about our host Richard and his wife - the nicest folks. We arrived several hours before check in time - not an issue. Richard was there to show us all the features of the house (music on demand - Siri...) and it was stocked with fresh fruit, milk, juice and eggs as well as a wide selection of cereal, coffee, tea and the fixings. They live at the property and checked in periodically to see if we needed anything.
The house was immaculate
AND there was no issue with us having our dogs (we travel to events so they are great travelers) and Richard gave us directions to a nearby park
We were there 5 days - the best vacation ever!
Since we travel to Wilmington often we will stay there again!

Pros: The owners really went out of their way to make me feel welcome, comfortable, and safe. Richard escorted me through the house to show me the food and comfort items they left for me, the layout of the house, and discussed security and lighting before asking if I felt safe. It was a nice touch. I’ve never been invited into a rental by an owner before!
-Hotel-style towels and fixtures in the bathroom, including a very cool lighted make-up mirror.
-Very comfortable beds.
-Very comfortable couch and chairs.
-Nice lighting installed to give the downstairs a soft glow.
-I was thrilled to have an electric kettle for making tea (my primary hot drink) because most rentals don’t have one!
Cons: I was allergic to something in the downstairs area and although Richard wanted to fix the problem, I couldn’t zero in on what the problem was, and I left early because of it.
-The wi-fi struggles - I had a hard time navigating the internet-based apps on my phone because it was sluggish.
-There are basic eating utensils in the kitchen - it works for one or two people but not much more without having to wash them after each meal.
-There are standing, oscillating fans in both bedrooms, which are necessary in the summer because the upstairs isn’t air conditioned and gets warm. This is not likely to be a problem in the cooler months, but if you like to be cold when you sleep, this won’t work for you.
Overall, this is a cute spot in a decent location. Richard’s hospitality was great!
