Downtown Wilmington home in the Historic District, near to Cape Fear River Walk

This classic, downtown house has the look and feel of a home built in the early 1900s, but all the updates of a home built just over a decade ago. Conveniently located in downtown Wilmington's historic district, and just a short walk to our booming central business district, this thoughtfully designed home has it all. A cozy, covered front porch is perfect for receiving and entertaining friends and neighbors, while the screened porch is better served for those best of friends that stay a little longer. Inside, the main floor is covered with wide plank oak hardwoods, and offers a spacious living room, breakfast area, half bath with laundry closet, and a tastefully designed kitchen featuring granite, stainless appliances, and an impressive bar area with glass display cabinets. The hardwood floors continue upstairs, where you'll find all three bedrooms including a generously appointed master suite. Home has been meticulously maintained and is ready for someone new to call it home.
Utilities included: electricity, heat, internet, air conditioning and water.

Our accommodations were outstanding as was our host, Karen. It’s obvious Karen takes a great deal of pride in her property and wants her guests to have the best experience possible. Our home was clean, well-stocked with essentials, and located in a very quiet neighborhood that was within a 14 minute walk to downtown Wilmington. We would definitely stay here again.

The front porch had an awesome sectional couch that was perfect for having our afternoon coffee.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. Within walking distance to Downtown and the River Walk and an easy 15-minute drive to Wrightsville Beach, the location cannot be beat. Parking was never an issue, check in was simple and efficient and Karen always responds quickly to any questions. We would definitely stay here again.

The property was lovely and exactly as described. It is in the historical section of town, so pretty residential and quiet - just what we wanted, When we arrived we found that the pack-and-play (crib) seemed to be faulty, but still useable. We messaged our host and a brand new one arrived within the hour!! Needless to say we were very pleased.

This was one of the best VRBO homes we've ever stayed in as a family. The house was immaculately cleaned with a very warm decor that made us feel at home quickly. The location of the house in Historic Wilmington was perfect for walking downtown for restaurants, bars and other things to do. We also found it very easy to get to and from Wrightsville Beach. The addition of a beach umbrella and a couple chairs was a lovely bonus.The screened in porch in the back was one of my favorite spots. Sitting out there one morning I was visited by a very colorful friend (see pic)Karen was very responsive and communicative throughout the duration of our stay. Would highly recommend and will likely stay here again as our son will be attending UNCW next fall!
Look closely at the knot on this tree. This was taken from the screened in back porch. Loved it!

Family getaway

This was our first family getaway with my 18month old granddaughter. The home was absolutely wonderful! We can’t wait to come back and stay again, and are already talking about the fall. The location was perfect, within walking distance to the river, yet peaceful and quiet in an adorable neighborhood. We had 5 people, myself, age 55, the toddler, 18 months, and my adult children (including my daughter in law) are mid 20s. We all just loved it here! I especially loved how clean it was. The others may not have made note of that, but I certainly did. It was fantastic from beginning to end. I will stay again, and recommend it to friends and family! Such great memories were made! Our food and drink recommendations are Maroon Monkey Coffee, and Slice of Life Pizza! Our server there was AMAZING!! He also made our drinks, so he’s multi talented! I’m only sad I can’t remember his name and it’s listed on my receipt as AM Bar 1111D so ask for him!! Hahaha loved him!! We will be back Wilmington, count on it!

New Memories

It actually looked like the pictures. We had plenty of space, it was the perfect size for the 4 of us adults to relax. The location was convenient to everything we wanted to do. Neighborhood was quiet and charming. Property manager, Karen was caring and helpful! It was a comfortable pleasure to stay here. I would recommend this home! However I would also recommend stocking the kitchen with a few items like foil and ziplock bags, cleaning the ice machine occasionally and fixing the latch on the dishwasher. There will always be little glitches… Thanks for a great stay!

January in Wilmington

My wife & I live in VT, but our son and daughter live in NC. We wanted to spend more time with our kids and be somewhere warmer than VT during the month of January.This was our 1st visit to Wilmington. The house is charming, well equipped (e.g. kitchen utensils), and exactly as described in the listing, located on a cobble stone street in the Historic District, and a short 10 - 15 minute walk to many restaurants, breweries, and the river walk. My only regret is that we didn't stay for an extra week, because the weather in VT when we returned was cold and snowy while Wilmington was close to 70 degrees!
