Heart of Downtown - Front/Market Street

Welcome to Momentum Loft!

Our second floor condo overlooks the hustle & bustle of a busy and vibrant downtown Wilmington. Located in the busy intersection of Front and Market Street, the condo is footsteps away from shopping, dining, entertainment and attractions. Our location is a convenient stroll down the Riverwalk to Live Oak Bank Pavilion, Wilmington Convention Center and downtown wedding venues. Our block boasts storefront shopping full of retail, restaurants, deserts, and even an Irish Pub next door.

Our guests can expect the usual city noise. There are no clubs on this section of the block that play loud bass through the night. The Irish Pub next door does have 2 outdoors speakers that play music at a tolerable level until 2am. The living room is in the front of the condo to enjoy a bird’s eye view of what’s happening on the streets below. The bedroom is in the back of the unit eliminating a significant amount of the street noise.

Once you get downtown you don’t need your car anymore because you can walk everywhere. Our guests usually park in the City of Wilmington’s Market Street Parking Deck (behind the buildings across the street). The parking deck is pay by the hour or 14.00 all day if you don’t leave the deck. We offer premium parking in our private space on the ground level with unlimited exit/entry for 15.00 a day. It’s not included in the price of the stay because half of our guests travel to Wilmington by air and don’t need parking. If you are interested in premium parking, just let us know after you book. We will also ask when we send the check-in information on the morning of your stay.

Have an amazing time in Wilmington!

Great location

The property is at the heart of downtown one block from the riverwalk. Very convenient to walk to everywhere. The host offers a parking which is fantastic given the challenge in parking downtown. One watch out is that if you are not a night person, you may want to reconsider as it’s near the bar and the night goes on until late! The host gave me very clear check in and out information and helpful.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

My husband was unable to come with me to a wedding this past weekend, so I asked my mom to come. We had the best girls weekend at Misti and Hunter‘s loft! The ambience is very cool, from the exposed brick and the surfboards on the wall, to the location, smack dab in the middle of the downtown action. Their loft has a very rustic, beachy vibe with a lot of character. The Irish bar downstairs is a little loud, but it didn’t bother us much. One suggestion I could make is maybe bring a sound machine, but we played a box fan on our phone and it was fine. It would be so convenient for a young couple visiting the bar downstairs and then just walking right upstairs afterwards. Hunter and Misty made it so easy to check in and check out. Definitely pay for the premium parking spot. It is directly across the street! It is way easier than trying to find a parking spot. My husband and I are already thinking about when we’re going to come back. Thanks again!

In the heart of downtown

We loved pretty much everything about this place! The location is exactly where we wanted to be, with the ability to step out the door into the downtown nightlife. The place is clean, comfortable, and well-apppointed. Our only (very) minor quibble is there was no way to get/make ice inside the unit. There is some noise from the street below, but it really wasn’t enough to bother us, even on a busy holiday weekend. We will definitely be staying here again!

Pleasant Long Weekend in Wilmington

Had a great time visiting Wilmington for a long weekend. The location of the stay is right in the middle of everything which was super convenient. Definitely worth paying a little extra for the parking spot in the deck as street parking gets full on the weekends. Property itself is nice, all the necessities. Most of our time was spent out and about anyways. Only con is the noisiness of the bar downstairs. A previous review suggested turning on the AC fan which helped but be prepared to hear it until like 2am on Friday and Saturday. I think some insulation around the door would help a little. For a short stay it wasn’t a big deal and it may be quieter during the week.

Perfect Historic Downtown location in a vibrant location.

Very convenient, comfortable stay for 2 nights to visit with family. Overall highly recommend for those planning to enjoy the nightlife and historic downtown Wilmington. Noise (chatter) The Irish pub can be a bit much until midnight to 1 AM. Solved that problem the second night by letting the fan run on the HVAC unit. Same to drown out the noise. Also recommend the addition of a small Keurig for coffee in the morning. Owners were very responsive and quick to answer any questions. Thank you.

Perfect stay in great location

My wife and I had an amazing stay at Momentum Loft. The property was just as described, and the location in downtown Wilmington was wonderful. There are lots of little bars, restaurants and shops on one side, and the Riverwalk on the other. Parking is also convenient. We were within easy walking distance of Live Oak Pavilion, so no fighting traffic after a show. Host Hunter was communicative and responsive and made the process super easy. 10/10

4th of July in Wilmington

Our two night stay was tremendous. Hunter & Misti were great as hosts. One block from the Cape Fear. Within walking distance to anything downtown. The room was cozy & comfortable. The noise from the bars was not bad. Can be a bit noisy if lots of people on the street outside using their outside voices. We would definitely stay again.
