Situated right downtown in a beautiful historic row of mansions, you'll find this condo has old world charm paired with modern amenities. The vintage hardwood floors, baseboards, windows and decorative non-working fireplace take you back in time to the 1800's, but the comfortable furniture, clean atmosphere, stocked kitchen, comfy bed, smart TV, and wifi meet today's traveler's needs. This condo is one of five in a large historic house on Front Street.

Your condo is private with a private entrance, and is one of 5 is an amazing historic home. You can chill out on the balcony near your door or sit outside in backyard on the patio. You'll have access to a shared laundry room with coin operated machines inside. You'll also get one parking pass to park a normal size car or small pickup behind the house (free parking in downtown Wilmington!!)

We are here when you need us and invisible when you don't. Ada prides herself on speedy replies. We're here for you if you need us.

This condo is located in arguably the nicest block of Old Wilmington's historic mansion district. The architecture around the neighborhood is stunning, with mansions and large single family homes. Treat yourself to downtown's finest.

If you walk out the front door onto Front Street, you'll see the glamorous Dudley Mansion from 1825, a stunning 10,000 sq ft estate that was home to North Carolina's first Governor. If you walk out the back door and down the quaint alley driveway to 2nd Street, you'll see block after block of gorgeous Victorian homes. If you love old houses and turn of the century architecture, be sure to make some time to take it in!

Just walk!!! You're very close to restaurants, shopping, nightlife, entertainment, the waterfront and riverwalk, museums, and ghost tours!

Uber's are everywhere!
The trolley is free and drives by.
Free parking means you can come and go as you like.

Located less than a half hour drive from either Carolina Beach or Wrightsville Beach.

Parking:
Free parking behind the house: You have one (1) free parking spot! The alley entrance to the parking area is 9 feet wide. That means you cannot fit a large work van or a big work truck and trailers are not allowed.

Free Parking on the Street: Everyone in Wilmington knows that street parking is a drag unless you know a local with a Historic District Parking Pass. Now you do. If your truck is too big, or you need more than one space we can get you a parking pass. Contact us, pay a $50.00 deposit (returned when the pass is returned) and you'll get a parking pass that you can use on any non metered space downtown and park free!!

Laundry:
There is an on site laundry facility. We try and keep soaps in there in case you need some. The machines and the laundry room are shared with the other guests but are seldom in use.

Very nice stay - close to all with easy check in and out. The river boat ride is especially interesting. The apartment was large and had everything. I highly recommend this VRBO rental.

44th anniversary get-away

A beautiful, well-appointed quiet home just steps away from all of the downtown dining and entertainment options. We watched the sunset on the river from our second floor balcony. Perfect trip. Responsive and gracious hosts.

Mid week getaway

The Wilmingtononian was the perfect location to downtown. We walked everywhere and enjoyed getting familiar with the area and local shops. Our stay was very cozy. The setup was perfect for what we needed. It did get a bit loud in the early mornings with city life but it was still a good stay.loudTherecomplimentary

Rain ? Who cares!

We had a blast. Went to a show and instead of spending the next day at the beach we found a great place to hang out. Julie went to school there in the 80’s and one of her friends lived in one of the back units. We had a great time! Thank you

Seminar trip

It was in a very convenient and safe location. The place was spacious and well equipped. The management people were very responsive. It is a lot better than staying in a fancy hotel room. We enjoyed the evening stroll of the river walk area and commercial district.

Anniversary Getaway

We live in the NC mountains and wanted a change of scenery for our 58th anniversary getaway. The Wilmingtonian On Front filled the bill to a Tee. The location is great, being a block and a half from the Riverwalk and all that it has to offer in the way of restaurants and bars. The apartment was very clean and well maintained. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed for a three-night stay.

Great location. Clean.

This is the perfect location for access to the town of Wilmington and the surrounding beaches and other areas. We were able to walk downtown for breakfast every morning, and in the evening for dinner or a drink. Beaches were a short drive. The house was clean, parking was off street and very secure. Hosts were attentive and accessible.

Perfect!

We enjoyed our stay here and it was the right distance away from the downtown/waterfront area. The bed was comfy, the A/C was cold (very important in July!), and road noise wasn't bad at all. We were within a short walk to everywhere we wanted to go downtown. Enjoyed our dinner at The George Restaurant. Nice touch with the provided Keurig coffee maker and pods. Had a peaceful and quiet morning on the top patio overlooking the street with a cup of coffee. All in all, it was a perfect place to stay. We got to the beach around noon, spent a couple hours there, and came back to this place in the afternoon (and was able to checkin early too which was great). Then the next morning we were able to hit the beach early and head on back home. Only wish the bathroom was bigger, it could be a tight squeeze for some folks.
