About this property

Walk downtown from this beautiful 1850 Antebellum home

Located in the Wilmington Downtown Historic District , the Antebellum House is loaded with charm and elegance. Our goal in offering this suite to you is to bring you the character and history of our home , while still giving you modern conveniences and comfort.

Throughout this first floor suite you will find the charm of a home built ten years before the Civil War, such as beautiful plaster crown molding and original well maintained hardwood floors, while being upgraded to give you modern amenities to help you relax and enjoy your time. This rental is for ground floor only... the house was converted to a duplex in the early 1900's. My wife and I stay upstairs for most of the year and it is never rented. The upstairs has a separate entrance and there are no shared spaces.

● Romantically themed bedroom with decorative marble fireplace, queen bed and room enough for a playpen or portable crib
● Living room with new queen size memory foam sleeper sofa
● Kitchen amenities include stainless steel stove and refrigerator, Keurig coffee maker, dishwasher, microwave
● Private entrance via backyard with patio for relaxation

We look forward to your stay in this home away from home as you enjoy all that Wilmington and the surrounding areas have to offer.

First time visit
First visit to Wilmington and this property was a perfect fit for our visit. The property inside and outside was very accommodating and very comfortable. The location was great- we walked to the downtown/water-walk area for dinner. Communication with our host was excellent. It made it so easy to check in and out. Looking forward to our next visit.

The apartment is well appointed with tons of charm. There was some street noise, but the bedroom has a sound machine and that helped mitigate the worst of it.

Convenient Location Nice Property
First trip to Wilmington. Not knowing much about the city, we were pleased how was well suited it was to walking to the downtown/river front. The inside was as presented on VRBO and very comfortable. We had our 2 dogs with us - they really enjoyed the enclosed courtyard as did we! Our host was easy to communicate with. Highly recommended this property.

Great location and place!
My husband and I stayed here with our dog and it was in a perfect location. Easy to walk to all the restaurants and coffee shops and a short drive to the beach. The host is very responsive and made sure we had a great stay. If we come back to the area we will definitely be staying here again.

Everything we were looking for!
The Antebellum House was everything that my wife and I were looking for when traveling to Wilmington with our 2 year old golden retriever. We were within walking distance of the Riverwalk and the historical downtown area where there are plenty of delicious restaurants with outdoor patio seating. The house was also a great location for small day trips to Carolina Beach and Southport. There is no shortage of things to do or go see in the area and the house is centrally located to accommodate anything on your itinerary. The house itself also has many of the things you could think of possibly needing during your stay (sound machine, ear plugs, furnished kitchen, ample supply of paper towels and toilet paper). The house is a beautiful and unique and was so cozy that it made us feel right at home. If we are ever traveling to Wilmington again, we will certainly be looking to see if this house is available as we would love to stay there again!

Great location in Wilmington
What better place to stay in Wilmington than the Historic District? Very charming house, comfortable, and well-provisioned. My pet allergy kicked in because I was a knucklehead and didn’t realize the house was pet friendly! My bad, that’s what happens when I “speed read.” Anyhoo, nice place to stay and thanks to the hosts!

Good location near historic downtown area
The property is clean and well maintained. It is about 5-7 blocks to downtown and boardwalk area. Cute little backyard to relax. Craig is prompt to answer questions and we enjoyed the restaurant recommendations. The bed is very comfortable. It is located on a street with lots of traffic even at night. The sound machine helps, however our home is in the country so a bit of a change for us to have traffic noise while sleeping. That was the only negative for us and not a reflection on the accommodations otherwise. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Wilmington Stay
Living space was clean and very pleasant. If you are one person or just a couple, this place is perfect for you. Be aware that parking is limited. As stated you can park inside the gate but there is little to no parking available in the area. We did manage to sqeeze our Tahoe into the back yard area, but if we couldn't, we would have had to park around the block. Perfect for a small car. The advertisement can be miss leading due to calling it an Antebellum House. Yes it is an Antebellum House, but you are only renting the downstair area which consists of 1 bedroom, living room, kitchen and bath. The area is spacious having the huge double doors and high ceilings. I wanted to cook for family but the area just wasn't practical for that purpose. I small antique Pie Table with 4 chairs. The table is beautiful but not practical to eat from. 1 couch with 2 dining chairs in a corner in the living area. The kitchen is cute as a button but dishes and cookware was limited for our purposes. It was great having a stacked washer and dryer available. This place may not have suited our needs exactly, but I would definitely recommend it for one person or a couple. It was priced right. The owner left good information for access and use of remotes and lighting. It's had to imagine this home is almost 175 years old. The woodwork is amazing but I certaining wondered what was behind the red front doors and what the staircase may have looked like. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Cozy & Comfy Stay at Antebellum
We were very happy with our stay. We walked into a clean, fresh home that was fully stocked with everything you need, from towels, extra blankets, beach chairs to extra charging ports on the night stand, games to enjoy to a well stocked kitchen. They really thought of everything. I mean, there was a "sound machine" next to the bed. We traveled with our 2 pups and the gated yard was a plus for us! The yard was also maintained nicely and the hanging lights were a nice touch at night. We had the privilege of talking with one of the owners Craig who gave us some good suggestions for dinner and let us know if there was anything we needed to feel free to reach out. We were very comfortable there and look forward to our next stay! Thank you

This was a charming, attractive, well stocked apartment, with a cute little shaded back yard.

The house is absolutely lovely and inviting. You feel like it was made ready for friends with all the little details throughout the property. Location is great, we could walk downtown and it s a short drive to beaches. Off street parking is easy for a big car, check in and out process seamless. I'm saluting the owners for the great job they re doing making the stay so comfortable and enjoyable for their guests.

Great place to walk everywhere.
We enjoyed this stay as a place to walk towards downtown and around the city. As mentioned in other reviews there is road noise, and some noise from upstairs at times, but it didn’t hinder our sleep. We enjoyed being able to bring our dog along and it was a great neighborhood to walk around and see the historical old houses.

stay in Antebellum
We enjoyed our stay with the location being within walking distance of historic downtown Wilmington. The house had everything we needed and with the owners living on the second floor any issues or questions can be quickly taken care of. The house is located on a fairly busy street so there is some street noise but overall the house was very nice.

Mother / Daughter special 30th Birthday Trip
We had a wonderful stay! The place is absolutely beautiful .. clean, organized and beautifully decorated with every modern convenience.. even had a sound machine next to the bed!! The location is perfect too.. we barely moved our car the whole time we were there. Walkable to a vibrant downtown area right on the water.. wonderful restaurants and shops. We enjoyed a horse drawn carriage ride and also toured the Bellamy Mansion. Finally, the host, Craig Dye, couldn't have been nicer and communicated with us regularly to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay. Already looking forward to the next visit!
