About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Home in the Heart of Wilmington

You will love this historic home in the quiet and charming Ardmore-Carolina Place neighborhood. The inviting front porch with swing and rocking chairs, plus the rear deck in the fully fenced yard, make the outside as comfortable as the inside. The neighborhood is a walker’s paradise, just minutes from dozens of restaurants, bars and coffee shops in the Cargo District and steps away from a playground. It is a quick drive to Wilmington’s thriving historic downtown, and only 15 minutes to the beach.

The space

This is our second home, and it is set up for living. The modern kitchen has everything you will need, including multiple coffee options (Keurig, pour over, and percolator). A full-size fridge provides filtered water and ice. There is a gas grill on the rear deck. The deck overlooks the lawn and gardens in the fenced yard – a peaceful oasis in the heart of the city.

The two bedrooms each have a Queen bed with high quality linens, ample closet space and dresser, and a ceiling fan. There is also a pull-out Queen sleeper sofa with memory foam mattress. The Master BR has an en-suite bath with dual sinks and a large walk-in shower. The second bathroom also offers dual sinks and a tub/shower.

You will have access to a full-size washer and dryer. There is a 55” UHD TV in the living room, and a smaller TV in the MBR; both have a Roku to access your streaming services. The DR table seats six. You’ll find an assortment of books, puzzles and games.

Off-street parking for one car. Plenty of on-street parking. A code to access the front door lock will be provided before arrival.

The neighborhood

Ardmore was one of Wilmington’s first “streetcar suburbs” in the 1920s and today is considered to be on the edge of Downtown Wilmington. Like the adjoining Carolina Place, Ardmore is made up of modest bungalows with quiet streets, well-tended gardens and sidewalks made for walking. Nearly every house has a front porch.

Our house is just steps from a small playground, and a ten-minute walk to a larger, newly-renovated playground in Wallace Park. Wilmington’s vibrant and growing Cargo District is only 10 minutes by foot, with dozens of popular restaurants, bars and coffee shops. It takes less than 10 minutes to drive (or

30 minutes to walk) to the historic downtown and the gorgeous Wilmington Riverwalk, and to the growing Soda Pop District.

Southeastern NC is home to some of the country’s best beaches, and Wilmington sits right in the middle. Family-friendly Wrightsville Beach is a 15-minute drive from the house. Carolina Beach, with its historic boardwalk, is only 30 minutes away, and several gorgeous beaches in Brunswick and Pender counties can be reached in less than an hour.

We’ve stocked the house with plenty of information about beaches, parks, historical tours and everything else this region and city have to offer. You’ll also find a list of some of our favorite places to eat and drink, and a walking map to guide you to some of our close-by favorites.

You will love this relaxed, family-friendly home in one of America’s best cities. Feel free to ask any questions. Because we live out of state when not living on Nun Street, you are more likely to hear from our wonderful property manager, Christina, who will also be available to attend to any issues during your stay.
