Mid-Summer Four-Week Stay

My wife and adult daughter arrived on a Monday and stayed through Thursday. We found the house amazingly clean and orderly. The house was furnished with everything we needed, which was greatly appreciated. We had never been to Wilmington before and spent the week exploring. The house was located near the center of town that meant it was a quick drive to most areas of interest.
