“Port City Guest House strikes me as a very welcoming place thanks to Sophie, the owner, whose hospitality makes the experience feel like a true home away from home; its location is excellent, placing guests comfortably near Wilmington's attractions and beach towns. Breakfast here is not to be missed-Sophie's made-to-order meals are a highlight. This guest house offers a genuinely pleasant and personable stay.”
