Our family had a great time! There was room for us all.

Rented this house to stay in for my son’s wedding. It is huge with plenty of spaces for different activities. The house details are so cool. The kitchen is fully stocked and nice size. It has 2 refrigerators. Beds were very comfortable. Property owner was very nice. Katie, the property manager was very helpful. I would definitely recommend this property!

Clean, homey, but electrical issues need some attention and updating♥️

We all were able to have our own bedrooms and the location was perfect. Space is key with a large family!

Our overall staff was nice though there were several hiccups. Two of the sinks were broken and the showers were only serviceable at best. One of the toilets was broken and I had to rig it with a wire I order for it to flush. The outdoor grill should be replaced as it is old and worn out. The location was perfect for us and the house fit everyone and that was what mattered the most. It was expensive for the end product but overall we had a good week.

Overall we loved our stay in this 101 year old home! Beds were super comfy. Kitchen was awesome and well furnished. Needed tlc here and there but the home was very clean and fit our needs and we really loved the house!

Charming home with lots of character. Easy access to downtown and surrounding areas.

We were overall pleased with our stay. The upstairs air conditioning seemed not able to keep up with the heat, but otherwise were really pleased with the property. The host and onsite manager were great to work with a d very responsive.

I felt like listing was a bit of bait and switch. The photos of the home were obviously from early 2000’s. The property was unkempt….long grass, dead leaves in backyard. No curbside appeal at all. The home is a diamond in the rough. The history is amazing. Sadly…it has not been kept up and if things are not taken care of I fear it will fall into disrepair. In looking more closely at past reviews I see that things that were problems from 2 years ago have still not been dealt with. Doorknobs that make it difficult to open doors easily, faucets that don’t work properly etc. We saw NO smoke alarms, and home in dire need of handrails. This would be a very difficult home for older folks or those in need of extra support. The home itself was pretty clean ( except for dead cockroaches in bedrooms…ugh)! The wood floors are in sad shape and need refinishing. The furnishings in living room and family room shabby, tattered and dirty. Can you say…a ROCK holding up one end of a couch?! All in all…for the amount it costs to rent ( and NO chance for cancellation after you agree to rent) I would look elsewhere for a home to rent out. Sadly, the owners are making money with no returns to home….it is obviously a business and not a venue for pleasure. I usually look for the good and am positive. I just want others to be aware of what they are walking into. This home would be beautiful with care and concern……Right now….it lacks that. Just read the reviews ( I didn’t research enough) and enter with open eyes to what to expect from this home.

Absolutely wonderful. Fit us exactly what we needed. In town for son's wedding. Had my other children and their family with us coming from all over. A few things to point out. It is an older home with old plumbing and old electrical. Don't expect all the newer amenities. The kitchen has everything you need. A couple of changes to what is available. There is a Keurig for coffee as well as a coffee maker but does not take #4 cone filters, standard Mr. Coffee filters are fine. The manager and owner are very responsive to requests. When arrived, we noticed there was no grill as advertised. So the manager contacted the owner and that day we had a new propane gas grill which was important as we planned to have families in for cookout. Plenty of games and puzzles to entertain. The one bedroom was perfect to put the kids in with parents on both sides. The big magnolia tree in the back was a favorite for the kids to hang out on. Also know the refrigerator does not have an ice maker so you will have to get ice. The overall experience was great and was a godsend to have. Thank you.

This is indeed an older, well-loved home! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves with its great kitchen, outside area and roomy downstairs. Loved the history provided. Great location for sure!

As charming this one hundred year old home it is. It lacks upgrades throughout the house! The sofas in the family room are in much poor condition and broken! The front door is extremely hard to open/ close Bed upgrades are missing in several of the bedrooms.

Great neighborhood and house

The property manage was responsive and helpful. The house is spacious and clean. Convenient to downtown. 2nd stay here. I would stay again.

It was my daughter's graduation weekend and we had family coming in from all over. This house was awesome! Keep in mind, it's old, definitely needs work, but the layout and charm of this historic property outweighed the cons and left us with some fond and amazing memories. Here's a list of what I loved... PRO'S The Layout: The house was so cool to explore, especially the 2nd floor. One room led to another or a shared bath. I kept thinking how fun it would be for children playing hide and seek. I also loved the dual staircases, one in the front of the house and one in the back, just off the kitchen. It painted a picture of what it was like to live during the era. I also loved all the rooms on the 1st floor. With 3 sets of grandparents, 2 sets of parents and friends stopping by, there was always plenty of room to congregate as a whole or break off into smaller groups and just catch up. Location and Parking Everyone loved the location and took daily walks. The cemetery at the end of 15th proved to be quite fascinating and worth the stroll. Parking was abundant, a huge bonus considering so many drove separate. The Kitchen Definitely a morning gathering place. Plenty of counter space, loved the 3 sinks complete with a garbage disposal and the long kitchen table. Also, there was an abundance of dishes, glassware, cookware and cooking utensils. A few other points worthy to mention Natalie and Katie were GREAT! Beds were adequate but the super soft sheets made them comfortable. The fenced in yard was nice for both privacy and for our dog's potty breaks. Now things to consider... CON'S Understanding an older home is a labor of love with one project usually in the works while another is waiting to follow, there are a few concerns I feel I should mention. Fridge/Freezer The main refrigerator/freezer was in good shape, but the extra full-size fridge and freezer chest were downright scary. The inside walls of fridge were full of rust and the freezer chest went out sometime our first night. Luckily, we didn't have much inside so didn't pose a problem. The electrical definitely needs updated. Roaches were noticed in the kitchen several times throughout the weekend. Overall... I loved our stay at the Magnolia. It came at a time of celebration and reuniting the family, some I hadn't seen in years. I would recommend this house for those who can overlook the cons mentioned. For the price, it won't disappoint!

Easy to park and walk around. Nice neighborhood. House is great.

I rented the property for friends and family to stay for my daughter’s wedding. We hosted the rehearsal dinner Friday night. It was the perfect setting go an outdoor meal. We decorated the back yard and it was like a wonderland. The house was just what we needed to cook and serve a meal for 40. The owner and caretaker were fantastic to work with. We were able to check in a bit early and check out a bit late. It was a memorable event.

Very easy process and checkin

Our major complaint is how slippery the bathtubs were in the side of the house up the first set of stairs. Most of us were 68 plus years old, and the only bathtub that we felt safe in was the bath tub up the back stairs. A bath mat would be nice or have the tubs fixed somehow.

Booking and access was easy. It is a fascinating home in the historic district. The layout was smart. Kids loved the home. Cozy beds. AC worked great. Beach chairs available. Smart Tv in living room was perfect for movie nights. We stored our bikes in the backyard and rode throughout the neighborhood as well as the Downtown/port area.

A wonderful get-away

Loved the house and the neighborhood. Plenty of room.

Love the history of the home. Liked the historical preservation of the home.

This property worked perfectly for our needs. We have a total of 13 on and off staying in the house across a 3 night weekend for my daughters wedding (bridesmaids). The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked with the necessary cooking items needed for the weekend. There were 2 large refrigerators and a chest freezer to accommodate the food and drinks. There was ample parking along the streets. The historic house was beautiful and the girls all had a great time.

Pleasant stay in an older home. It could use some updating but it was sizable and good for my larger family.

The Magnolia House was exactly how it was described. Everything was clean and my family had a great time. I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to come visit and explore Wilmington, NC.Linda JordanAtlanta, GA.

The house was perfect to accommodate family of 11. It was great to have a close 15-20 minute drive to Wrightsville and a 5 minute drive to downtown. The rooms are large and there is plenty of space to spread out. The backyard and swing set were great for the little ones. The house was clean.

Overall, the home serviced our purpose and was roomy. Needs some upkeep

First, you must love old homes to really love this house, otherwise you might be bothered by some of its quirks. For my family’s stay, we loved the large house that gave us ample space for our Wilmington stay. We loved the neighborhood and took walks every morning and evening and we loved having the large kitchen and 2 fridges for stay-in meals. Visiting downtown Wilmington and Wrightsville and Carolina Beach was convenient. The property manager was friendly and responsive. If our larger family group visits Wilmington again we would definitely rent this house again.

What a lovely historic home. The property manager was responsive and helpful. Fresh cut flowers and snacks were a nice touch. My only concern was upon seeing the property’s external upon arrival. The paint on the side of the house is in bad shape. The metal roof has rust I didn’t see in the pictures. Other than that the property’s interior is as pictured. It needs some work but offers tons of charm and lots of space.

Historically it is. Spacious rooms. Enjoyed reading about the history of the House. The owner’s communication was excellent.
