About this property
Downtown Bliss
This charming 1800’s Victorian duplex used to be our worst place. That is, until it underwent an extensive renovation that was completed in summer of 2023. It retains its historic charm with original wooden doors, a bedroom fireplace (now decorative only), and its location on a quiet cobblestone street. However, it was thoughtfully modernized with new plumbing, electric, flooring, appliances, and light fixtures and is decorated in a timeless style with a nod to its heritage but in no way retro. This downstairs 2 bedroom 2 bath duplex has lots of historic charm. You enter the duplex from the back of the house into the cozy living room that has comfortable seating and a large smart TV. The primary suite has a queen bed with hybrid mattress, TV, decorative original fireplace, and spacious private bathroom with a tile shower. The bright and airy second bedroom is in the front of the house and has a queen bed with hybrid mattress and TV. The second bathroom is located under the staircase but is surprisingly roomy and has a tiled shower.
The large eat-in kitchen with seating for 4 is outfitted with all new appliances, including a gas stove, dish washer, and washer/dryer laundry center. It includes cookware, dishes, and kitchen basics and includes a coffee bar, bottled water, and some snacks.
The back porch has 4 rocking chairs and overlooks the backyard garden and is a perfect place to relax.
This duplex is just a stone’s throw to downtown Wilmington, so you can walk to downtown and enjoy the historic north end of downtown. Off street parking is included (small and mid sized cars only as the driveway is narrow) and there is always plenty of street parking for larger vehicles, vehicles pulling a trailer, or additional vehicles. Located a short pleasant walk to the riverwalk, restaurants, breweries, museums, entertainment, and more. Just a 30 minute drive to the beaches.

I really loved everything about this property. It was decorated very nicely and was clean. They thought of everything in terms of amenities. The property was walkable to restaurants and shopping. I would definitely stay here again.
The house was perfect for us. Loved the lovely updates and the decor was very nice. Perfect size for 3 of us close to all the spots we went to in Wilmington.
Property is as described. The location is awesome, conveniently located near downtown. The property is clean with modern appliances. We were very impressed with the renovations and would like to spend another weekend here. Thanks to our hosts for making our stay so pleasurable.
Cozy. Clean. Cute. Spacious. Perfect size space for our family for a weekend get away. Walking distance to downtown, restaurants, entertainment. Live Oak Bank Pavilion was so convenient to get to. Renovation was done beautifully.
5 ⭐️ Accomodations! Exceptional Attention to detail. Welcome folder with snacks. Each bathroom has soaps, shampoo conditioner, lotion and many towels. The bedrooms each have lovely white linens with nightstands on each side of the bed that have changing stations. Large flat screen in each bedroom. Amazing two bedroom two bath that we look forward to staying in again.
We were in town to visit my niece at UNCW. The property was very nice and clean, and true to the pictures. I will mention that the second bathroom isn't exactly "roomy" although it is nice. The location is perfect for walking downtown and through the Historic District, and is close to many great restaurants, bars and shops. We like to bring food and cook when staying away from home, and this property had cookware, but it would be nice if it had some more condiments available (salt & pepper would be great!!).
My only complaint is that you can hear everything that is going on in the unit upstairs, from people walking back and forth to conversations and the TV.
But with that being said, my niece is only a freshman at UNCW so we would definitely stay at this property again if it is available!!
Host communicated well throughout our stay. The property was beautiful and parking was convenient. We were close to everything... We didn't walk, but had no problems with parking around town. We absolutely would stay here again.
Very cozy and welcoming setting. 2 apartments available are perfect for graduation weekend celebration with blended family. Lovely touches with snacks and coffee, and more. Thank you!
Appreciated the easy check-in and check-out processes. Loved that my cleaning fee meant I didn't have to clean too much before leaving. Comfortable beds, spacious, waters in the fridge when we arrived, light snacks, and very close to downtown!
