Checks all the boxes.

Charming clean, cozy and convenient apartment in a great location. Host was communicative, checking in and parking was a breeze, bed was super comfortable and the location was a 2 minute drive from the downtown event we were there to attend. Would definitely book again.

Everything we needed!

I lived in Wilmington for 12 years and I miss it so much. My husband and I take a trip whenever we can and this time we went down to celebrate our anniversary. This place was absolutely perfect! Right in the heart of historic downtown, we were able to walk around and enjoy the city. The little balcony was perfect for drinking coffee in the morning. The host was extremely attentive and responded immediately whenever we had a question. We would absolutely stay here again.

Loved the condo!

Everything was great. I am handicapped and the stairs were long and steep. I don’t recall the ad even mentioning 2nd floor or a difficult long stairwell. Still had a great time. It would have been nice to have the option decide knowing that. Thank you, Kelly

Historic Half run and visiting daughter at UNCW

Needed a place to stay downtown, was running the Wilmington Historic Half early Sat morning. Arrived late Friday evening. Apartment so cute and clean. Great location. Easy to get into with private back stairs. They are steep, so be aware if that’s a physical issue. But there is a front door entrance as well. Apartment was perfect, had everything we needed and bed slept great! We did have a family emergency and had to leave a day early and hosts were super responsive and understanding. We will book here again and again for future visits. Can’t wait for different seasons too!!

Highly recommend

This is a delightful property on the 2nd floor. It is in the historic district of lovely old homes, and less than 10 minutes to the riverwalk. Steven kept us well informed about check-in and promptly answered any questions. A great stay in a well-equipped apapartment.

Good location and good communication

Simple vacation rental, no frills, exact as the listing. Good if you’re in town for a wedding. The ac unit in the bedroom is very noisy so we turned it off, the unit would probably have been way too hot in the summer months for us. Something to keep in mind if you are noise or temp sensitive. The owner is very quick at responding and provides good directions. Plus a free parking space behind the home!

Awesome place to stay!

The unit is just like the pictures and the check in/out process is perfect. I would definitely come back to this location! However, make sure to keep car doors locked and you may want to buy bug spray if you go during warm months!

AMAZING

Needed a place to stay for just one night in Wilmington and let me tell you this place did not disappoint. The unit was very warm and welcoming, and really encapsulated the quaint vibe of the town, and Steve (the host) was super helpful. If we ever come back to Wilmington we definitely know where to stay!

Incredible!

This property was absolutely stunning! It was very clean and orderly, well decorated and had everything I needed and more. A fabulous neighborhood close to downtown and secluded enough to feel private. It was hard to leave once my stay came to an end. The owner was extremely communicative and responsive- I had to call and ask if I could check in early and was allowed to check in almost immediately, which really saved me a ton of inconvenience. I would recommend this quaint little place to families/couples, or just yourself. I can’t say enough good things. 100/10 would recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cute, Historic and Easy Access to Downtown

We enjoyed our stay in Wilmington. The house was clean and charming. We enjoyed the easy walking distance to the downtown waterfront, where all of our activities were. The only suggestion would be to update the air conditioning units. The master bedroom unit struggles to keep up.

Overnight in Wilmington

The property was exactly as pictured—very clean, simple & cozy. The AC units kept the place adequately cool, esp for an older house. The bedroom unit is a bit noisy. The location is perfect for walking downtown and along the river walk. i only stayed for a night for a quick trip but really enjoyed the place and would stay again. Steve was very responsive to any question or issue I had and was willing to let me check in early.
