Guest Reviews

The Verandas is a lovely, well situated, well cared for bed and breakfast. The staff were attentive but not overly. The rooms were elegant but comfortable. The house is large and interesting with amazing verandas, all kitted out with comfortable chairs so you can enjoy some outside time if it’s nice. This has become our goto in Wilmington. We’ll definitely be staying here again.

Most satisfying B&B (small inn) experience in the modern age - spacious clean rooms, quiet location, definitive architecture and just enough attentive staff to make your stay memorable. Local enough to feel like you live in the neighborhood, close enough to get to anything else you want to do in the Wilmington or Wrightsville Beach area. Highly recommend.

- Leake Little

Perfect location, reasonable price, clean & comfortable rooms, delicious breakfast with thoughtful service. This felt cozy in a timeless, well furnished and decorated 1800's style historic home. We had to check in late and they made the process easy to follow, we had no questions or trouble - they thought of everything!
