    That we had to check out.

    Sophie is a gem-I felt right at home from the moment I stepped into the house. The house is gorgeous and it’s an easy (and beautiful) walk to downtown. We ended up skipping many of the activities we had planned in Wilmington because we had more fun hanging out with Sophie at her home. Breakfast was delicious and made to order. You certainly won’t go hungry here!

    Would be nice if downtown was walkable but it was just a short drive away.

    The house was adorable and we were immediately welcomed and made to feel like home!! Sophie and Daisy Mae were WONDERFUL hosts. Breakfast was cooked to order with ridiculous quantities and Sophie was all about ensuring we had what we needed. Very home like environment.

    The breakfast is made to order by Sophie and it could not be any better. There is private parking behind the house so you're not parked on the busy street. The location is only blocks from the waterfront and downtown, and you have easy access to nearby beach towns like Wrightsville Beach (15 minutes), Oak Island (35 minutes), and Ocean Isle Beach (45 minutes).

    The host, Sophie personifies Southern charm and hospitality. She never ceases to put her guests’ needs and desires at the forefront of her priority list as demonstrated in every facet and detail of the amenities. Sophie even surprised us with a special signature cheesecake for our anniversary—another mark of her thoughtfulness. The immaculate, beautiful historical home and garden only further reflect her astute attention to detail. The breakfast and snacks were delicious and plentiful. Everything about the experience said, “Welcome home!” We have stayed in B & B’s worldwide and we’d rank Port City Guest House among the best.

    The other guests brought a dog. I think knowing this in advance would have been helpful. Fortunately, the dog was well-mannered.

    Delectable breakfast! Mouthwatering French toast a huge hit. Sophie's hospitality added significant value to our trip. During breakfast, the other guests along with my significant other and I had meaningful, substantial dialogue that left us with something more to chew on upon our departure. The home is aesthetically pleasing, nicely furnished with vintage, Victorian pieces and colors. If you've been to one hotel, then you've been to them all. Why not try a bed and breakfast for a new experience! Highly recommended.

    The host Ms. Sophie is wonderful. Bring your appetite every morning as breakfast is amazing- fresh fruits, coffees, teas, juices, followed by made to order (your way) eggs, bacon, sausages, pancakes, French toast etc . Rooms are spacious, extremely clean and very comfortable. Location in Wilmington could not be beat. Close to river, restaurants, battleship beaches and shopping. My wife and I will definitely stay with Ms. Sophie again.
