Good location, quiet neighborhood that's a quick walk or lyft ride to shops and restaurants. The decor doesn't try to emulate the period that the house was built. Instead, it is just fun, with brightly colored accents and some of the coolest lighting fixtures and lamps I've seen! Also- they provide not just coffee, but also creamer! We enjoyed our 2 nights there-

Great place to stay.
Steve was a wonderful host. My family and I had a great stay at his place, which is located near downtown and convenient to everything we were looking for. We only stayed a night but my family enjoyed our time at the house which was located on a quiet street. Rooms were spacious and welcoming. Thank you Steve!

Super chill
The house is very nice, I liked that each bedroom has its own color theme. The kitchen is beautiful. I had a huge group of friends stay over and they thought it was very nice. I had a little trouble figuring out the ceiling fan in some of the rooms. Also be careful with the rugs because they are on top of wood floors and they like to move. The host is very communicative which was super helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Location/So clean
What a beautiful property! We took a quick trip to Wilmington to tour the college and stumbled upon the gem on VRBO. I’m so glad we did! It was clean and spacious. You can tell this home is loved and well taken care of. We could walk downtown to the restaurants and shops in about 10 minutes. We will definitely be back!

A quick stay in downtown Wilmington
We were in town one night for a wedding and needed a convenient place to stay within walking distance of the venue. This location was perfect and we loved having a parking spot instead of fighting for street parking. The hosts were very accommodating with our need for an earlier check in. If we ever needed a place to stay in Wilmington again we will definitely come back.

Modern decor in heart of Historic Wilmington
Came here with my husband when he wanted to take a fishing charter out of Wrightsville Beach with one of his friends. The area is very quiet and very close to the Riverwalk and local restaurants, boat rides, etc. Also appreciated that it is pet friendly. Steven the host is very accommodating and very quick to respond. Would highly recommend!

Outside yard needs a little work. There is some work being completed. Front door and bathroom door stick Threshold on back door is unattached. Interior is very well decorated and comfortable. Fantastic location. Close to Riverwalk. Unit has parking so we didn’t have to park on the street. Highly recommend!

Great location and home
We stayed for a quick weekend trip with my family and the home is just as listed. It was clean and exactly like the pictures. The location is perfect to visit the battleship and other downtown locations with just a short drive. The beds were very comfortable. Will certainly stay again when we come to visit.

Downtown Wilmington Home is Perfect for All Occasions
I recently had the pleasure of staying at a fantastic downtown condo in Wilmington that truly caters to all ages. The accommodation itself is stunning, boasting modern amenities and stylish decor that make it both comfortable and inviting. The condo is ideally located, providing easy access to the vibrant downtown area with its diverse array of restaurants, shops, and attractions. What really sets this place apart, though, is the exceptional hospitality of the hosts. They are incredibly responsive and go above and beyond to ensure that every guest's needs are met. Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or solo, their attention to detail and willingness to accommodate special requests make the experience all the more enjoyable. Overall, this condo is a perfect choice for anyone looking to experience Wilmington’s charm while staying in a beautiful, well-managed property. Highly recommended!

Beyond expectations!
So I think I shorted my other review but my family and I stayed here for my daughter's 13th birthday the owners are so kind if you are thinking of booking this location do not hesitate! You are out of the hustle and bustle of the main town but close enough for the beaches and fishing and everything else the Riverwalk was gorgeous we managed to make it to three different areas in one day. The house itself is large beautifully decorated and in a wonderful neighborhood. A small fenced in area if you have puppies with you but also a gorgeous area to walk your dogs they're a little plaques around the neighborhood talking about the historic homes the home that we stayed in ourselves was over 100 years old historic Wilmington is just beyond gorgeous. The location has ample space we were actually able to book both the houses in the duplex which gave us full access to the whole building there's a gorgeous balcony upstairs and a wonderful swing set on the bottom porch loved every minute we were there my children were sad to leave! So grateful for the wonderful memories we were able to make due to this location will not hesitate at all to book again!

The neighborhood was very quiet and close to shopping. Not a long drive to get to the ocean for some sun. We enjoyed each day we were there.
