This is a wonderful B & B. Paula and Steve make you feel like you are staying with old friends. The rooms are beautiful and immaculate. Bed is comfortable. Paula's breakfest is outstanding. And such a nice touch, she puts coffee outside your room by 7:30. The location is great for visiting all the great resturants downtown.

I'm not going to go on with some long-winded prose. My wife and I have reasonable judgement, experience, and expectations. We just returned from our first stay, and we won't be staying anywhere else whenever we return to Wilmington. - Location: 5 minute walk or 8 minute stroll to market street near the water, the heart of the historic district....

Camellia Cottage innkeepers, Steve and Paula, remind me of the song "A House is Not a Home." The lyrics say "A chair is still a chair even when there's no one sitting there. But a chair is not a house, and a house is not a home when there's no one there to hold you tight, and no one there... More

We stayed at the Camellia Cottage New Years Eve (2012-2013). My husband and I frequent B&B's and, since I am vegan, I am used to the routine of having to call around before booking to make sure they can accomodate me. Paula, being a pastry chef, was not only willing but clearly excited for the "challenge." We stayed in The... More

We spent one night in the Cypress Suite. It was a beautiful private suite. It was comfortable, clean, and had a view of the garden. The house is in walking distance to downtown and all it has to offer. Paula and Steve (and Sparky) were great! They were so friendly and made our visit fabulous! Breakfast was amazing! The gardens...

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Once home to artist Henry MacMillan, The Camellia Cottage is a high-peaked, Queen Anne shingle house featuring four guest rooms. A long veranda, painted by a local artist, provides a view of the lush garden of azaleas, magnolias, ferns and camellias. Here, great food, gracious service and a friendly atmosphere make for a relaxing guest experience. Greet each morning with coffee at your door and a sumptuous breakfast of fruit, homemade pastries and entree. Paula’s stint as a hotel pastry chef ensures a delightful dining experience. The Crane Suite features an ornate, metal bed, carved fireplace and vibrant color. Formerly the sun room, the bath and dressing area is filled with lush tropical plants. Henry’s Room, featuring a canopy bed and fireplace, reflects the stateliness found in two of Henry’s paintings hanging in the house. Jane’s Room is named after Henry’s mother and features floral designs and vintage photos complementing the four-post bed and fireplace. In the Tuscany Room, the golden glow of the walls and large windows make you think you’re in an Italian villa. Enjoy the fireplace from the whimsical iron bed or soak in the claw-foot tub with a glass of Chianti. ... more   less
