Verandas, The, Wilmington

My wife and I stayed at the Verandas for a weekend in August as a last minute getaway from the hustle and bustle of work. We were looking for something close to our home in Raleigh and historic Wilmington fit the bill. From the moment we booked our stay with Chuck to the day we left our stay in Wilmington was sensational. We have taken many vacations over the years but never have we had such a relaxing time as we did with Chuck and Dennis. The Verandas is simply beautiful and elegant. The house is impecable with so much history and warmth. If you like antiques you can't help but admire their collection. Chuck and Dennis have somehow managed to create a classicly stylized elegant Victorian feel while mantaining a warm and cozy experience. We've never seen anything like it, the moment you step into the Verandas you don't want to leave. Only a two block walk to the waterfront adds to the charm. We could go on and on for days about this inn. The Verandas is one of a kind, trust us you won't be disappointed.

Chuck and Dennis are awesome! The food is excellent, the room was great and you can walk anywhere... We woule recommned The Verandas to anyone as we do to anyone who is traveling to the area. We honeymooned there and were welcomed like we were family, yet given tons of privacy.

I traveled to Wilmington for a week long course for work. I went a couple of days early and decided to stay at a B&B for the first time. I told one of the innkeepers that I would be arriving after 7pm as I was flying in from Honolulu. He said that would not be a problem. Upon my arrival I was a little frazzled from the flight and having to navigate my way to the inn in the dark. I was greeted with a warm hug from Chuck who was really friendly and made me feel at home right away. He recommended a place that I could walk to for dinner which turned out to be great. I met Dennis the next morning at breakfast which I have to say was delicious! The house and grounds are beautiful but the atmosphere is warm and I felt more like I was staying with old friends. My room was fabulous and so comfortable. I had originally booked a room in the hotel where my class was being held but I enjoyed my weekend at the inn so much that I took the offer of corporate rate for the rest of the week. Dennis was so wonderful to have breakfast for me early so I could get to class on time and both he and Chuck were so knowledgeable about the area and recommended fun places for me to go during my off time. I loved Bubba Good Boy being my lap warmer a couple of times when I sat on the back terrace. I hope to return one day for another visit and highly recommend The Verandas. Aloha Chuck, Dennis and Bubba! Love ya!

I have visited B&B's all over the world and have found none to equal the Verandas. The property has been beautifully restored and decorated. Each room is a gem and is filled with antiques lovingly collected by the owners, who have also managed to create a place where each guest can be comfortable and relax after a day exploring Wilmington. Chuck and Dennis, the owners of The Verandas, are without a doubt the most congenial and welcoming hosts! They are dedicated to making your visit perfect, from the gourmet breakfasts served in their beautiful dining room to the wine and homemade goodies served on the veranda at five o'clock every day. Both Chuck and Dennis are not only knowledgeable on the history of the town, but are up-to-date on all the happenings in and around Wilmington. They could not have done more to make our stay truly memorable. I highly recommend a stay at The Verandas when your travel plans take you to the Wilmington area.
