The Verandas is outstanding: ... great location ... large bed chambers and modern baths ... engaging social hour ... delicious breakfast ... perfect dining and sightseeing recommendations ... beautiful and inviting common areas, rich with decor and antiques ... wonderful innkeepers Treat yourself to an experience!

Dennis and Chuck are fabulous hosts. My husband and I frequent bed and breakfasts when we travel. and words cannot discribe how gracious, and genuienly warm they both are in sharing there home. The home itself is lovley, grand and very comfortable. Breakfast is always a surprise and very special. If you love to be with people who love to be with you it is on the top of our list of bed and breakfast inns.

We arrived for a two day stay late in October 2007. All of the rooms were clean, attractively decorated, and beautiful. Chuck and Dennis were warm, welcoming, and amusing as they told us the history of the house. The gourmet breakfasts were outstanding, around a beautiful oval table that encouraged interaction with the other guests. All of the little details were done right, regardless of your style of travel. The public spaces were elegant, spacious, and festive. The rooms had full, modern appointments. Chuck and Dennis, had detailed knowledge of the community, and were on a first-name basis with the proprietors of the restaurants we chose to visit. Chuck and Dennis exceeded expectations in making our stay enjoyable and relaxing.

Wilmington is lovely historic town, an easy getaway from the Raleigh-Durham area. Beautiful decor, sociable innkeepers, and a perfect in-town location make The Verandas a great getaway. Amazing renovation stories, too!
