Although this room does not photograph well, room #7 is a blend of Orient Express meets "Out of Africa." It is a very masculine room that women seem to love. The walls are faux painted, and the artwork and accesories are from the Amazon River and other international locations. In the bathroom you can actually see out a window while sitting in the bathtub.

Review The Verandas, Wilmington, NC

Photo Album

Welcome to The Verandas front hall. The doors are faux painted and the marble floor were part of the renovations. The house burned in 1992 and the owner purchased it as a burned shell, gutted it to its framework, and spent two years transforming it to a luxury bed and breakfast. We won an award for our interior restoration. Guests have complete access to the first floor public space. They never have to compete with a wedding or function.The piano room is a fun room. There is a piano for guests to play, there is music, there are books, there are magazines. On the mantle are five poems that guests have written for us, and a collection of books are in the room that have been written by our guests and given to us. To the right of this room is the Butler's Pantry which is stocked with goodies for guests.
This is the guest living room and dining room. There are a pair of chrystal chandeliers and matching wall sconces. The furniture is a combination of antiques and reproductions. Large windows bathe the two rooms with natural sunlight. Between the two chairs you will see a music box from 1890. Ask the owners to play it for you! It has wonderful sound. Although these rooms might look small, each is roughly 400 square feet. Breakfast is served in the dining room at one seating at 9.a.m. on the weekends, and for corporate guests between 7:30 and 8:30. A full gourmet breakfast is served with a choice of juice. Our coffee is French pressed and we have a large variety of tea. A main entree is served with the breakfast meat kept separate. Breakfast is served on antique china and silver. Early coffee is available at 7:30.
This is the view from one side of the back terrace.This is the back terrace. In cooler weather, everyone lives out here. It is peaceful and quiet. The is a fountain that you can hear in the background. Great place to enjoy sodas, beer, or wine in the afternoon. We are a non-smoking Inn, but guests are welcome to smoke on the terrace, or on the verandas where there are ashtrays.
The horse and buggy meanders by the Inn every hour. It is great fun! You can catch a ride at 10 Market Street. Tell the driver that The Verandas sent you. Enjoy the peaceful ride through the beautiful historic district. There are about 240 blocks of historic district making it one of the largest in the country.This is room #1 in shades of green and peach. Queen size bed.
