Wonderful Stay

We had a wonderful stay at the Port House. The house is very clean and comfortable and has everything we could need. The décor is wonderful. It is very close to the airport, a short driving distance to the River Walk in Wilmington, and about 15-20 minutes to Wrightsville Beach. There are many things to do in the area and we also spent some time just relaxing in the house. The check-in, wi-fi access and television were very easy; we were a little worried about that; this is the first time we have done this and we are not as savvy as many. I highly recommend staying at the Port House.

Wedding in Wilmington

We (4 adults) had a very comfortable and pleasant stay at “The Port House”. We had everything we needed for our stay. All amenities were clean and up to date. The entry lock/code was very easy and simple to use. Neighborhood was quiet. The owner was always helpful and available for any questions. We would definitely recommend this house and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. A.G.

My Dream Cottage

This property was perfect for us 3 ladies (70+). The size of the house was great, the minimum number of steps to go up to the porches just right. The renovations for this older home was very well done, and the decor and furniture, just the right amount. It was very clean. All our needs were taken care of. I wanted to stay longer. Bedding was great. The street block was right there where Hwy 17 comes in leaving me with some concern with traffic, but traffic was minimal, a few cars going by with loud music.
