Convenient location to explore downtown and area. It was easy to visit the beach but we preferred not staying there where it was packed with people. Fun to people watch from balcony and watch the river.
This was our second stay so that alone says a lot! The condo is exactly as described and in the perfect location to explore all that Wilmington has to offer. We will be back again!
Came to Wilmington to see my son at college for the weekend. Had been in the building before so I was familiar with the layout and access to everything. Good communication with the owner and quick responses. Nice touch with a welcome basket of snacks. Improvements that I believe could be helpful are updated smart TVs and parking pass option in the garage on Grace Street. Also, the listing needs to be updated to say that shampoo, conditioner and soap are no longer provided. Excellent view and will be back again on next 3 years maybe more...my daughter likes the university as well.
We loved our stay. The apt had everything we needed. The view and location could not have been better. Host was extremely accommodating and allowed us a late check out. Like a lot of cities, Wilmington mostly had meter parking or garage parking. Host offered great recommendations to keep parking cost low. Would definitely stay right here again! Oh, almost forgot to mention the basket of treats he left us!
Clean and cozy with a gorgeous view of the river. Everything is within a walking distance and there are endless shops, restaurants, and historical sites. We ended up parking in the parking garage on North and Grace ($14 a day). Check in instructions were clear and concise. I hope we can stay again soon!

This place was excellent. Highly recommend. The view of the drone light show for Riverfest was excellent very peaceful with beautiful sunsets over the battleship and river. Only complaint is there wasn’t soap or shampoo for the shower, which I had to run out and get and parking was a little difficult because of the festival.
The apartment was perfect for our needs - and we loved being able to sit out on the balcony to enjoy the view of the river and battleship. Plus, it was walkable to so many great restaurants.
View is great and very fun area! Gordon was very helpful and quick to respond to our questions.

The property itself is nice. Basic, clean space to stay in. Balcony with river view, secure entry doors.
The noise, however, is TERRIBLE. Rowdy revelers, street racing(?!), sirens... no insulation to drown out the sound and it is noisy nonstop from 10p-3a. Also: NO PARKING. You have to find street parking or use a garage, there is no parking with this unit.
Excellent location and perfect size for a week stay. Nick was very responsive and helpful as well 10/10 would recommend and will look to stay here again next time I’m in town.
My husband and I had an amazing time. The property was perfect for us. We were a stones throw from everything near the riverwalk and downtown. If I could change anything it would be the parking availability and cost. Our host Nick did a wonderful job of making sure we were comfortable and we had what we needed for our stay. I look forward to staying again.
The condo was perfect for two. Comfortable and convenient to downtown entertainment. Having to park so far away was a new experience for me but that wouldn’t keep me from returning. It is something to be mindful of. However again, a lovely place with a kind helpful host. I definitely recommend it!!
Condo is centrally located in the Historic District of Wilmington with an awesome view of the USS North Carolina battleship. Condo is immaculate and very tastefully decorated. Highly recommend this property!
Other than the elevator going out for most of one day there was nothing to complain about ! I will definitely look at this place in future visits !

Good Budget Listing for Short Trip
Elevator was broken and had to take multiple trips up 8 flight of stairs. Owner seemed very unconcerned; “These things happen.” When I asked for a few hours grace to check out later, I never heard from owner. Responded immediately when I said I was out of the property. Not a bad rental but beware of issues.
This waterfront condo checks all the right boxes, clean, spacious, comfortable, quick walk to all things good, and an absolutely beautiful front seat view of the Historic Battleship along with stunning sunsets over the water. Host was responsive and incredibly generous. Cannot recommend this place enough!
The location, the view, accommodations and the flexibility of the owner in our check out time to accommodate my elderly mother and flight was so kind and appreciated. My son lives in Wilmington and it was so convenient. I will definitely book again and highly recommend.
