Dennis Hopper slept here:

This two story loft is located in the heart of our downtown. Just a half a block north of market on Front St., our Loft is in the Masonic Building once owned by Dennis Hopper. If you are coming to downtown to be downtown and enjoy dinner, theater, shopping and a cocktail then our loft may be the perfect fit.

We have taken special care to make our loft an oasis in the middle of downtown. Furnished with antiques, mid century items, original paintings, and general oddities - we think it will be hard not to love.

A quick bit about the building. Once owned by Dennis Hopper, the Masonic Building is a beautiful Art Deco Masterpiece. It was built in the 1800s and is a resurrected mainstay in our downtown community. The building sits on Front St. next to our friendly Front St. Brewery Neighbor. Our other neighbor is a few flights of stairs north on the 5th floor where the Level 5 Bar and City Stage Theater reside. Simply put it is the best venue and view in the region.

We had the first vacation rental in the Historic District and this is our second place downtown. We do a great job of making sure you have everything you need during your stay and will help with any and all questions. There is a coffee maker and coffee, hairdryer, soaps, shampoos, Linens, etc.

We are very excited about our new place and look forward to having you stay with us on your Vacation in the Port City.

                            This place is in a great location, close to everything where we did not need a car. My girlfriends and I spent a few days here for a short getaway! This condo is so unique, many unique things inside. (Check out barbie!) The condo was great and had everything we needed and the owners were very accommodating! I would recommend staying here!

                            Girls vacation from Minnesota to Wilmington NC!! We had an AMAZING stay in both condos. There were 5 of us gals, two of us stayed in the one bedroom condo and the other three of us stayed comfortably in the loft condo which are exactly one floor from each other, very convenient for us and very roomy. Both condos are decorated with warm, welcoming decor, very comfortable and much like an at home feeling. Condos are equipped with all of the amenities of home. The kitchen was fully assess-able with nice coffee pot and filters, cookware, dishes, glasses (wine glasses as well), utensils, dish washer, dish towels and soaps, plenty of bath towels and toiletries as well. Also, not necessary to bring a blow dryer, there is a very nice one in the condo. The condos are very clean and maintained. The photos are exactly to scale on how they look when you arrive for your stay. We were within walking distance to just about everything, so we did not need to rent a car. Prime spot to stay with many, many eating establishments, bars and music. Walking on the boardwalk along the Cape Fear River was tranquil...this is one block away from the condo, not to mention shopping galore....fun, fun, fun! Pam and Dave, the owners were very accommodating and so kind. Pam was in contact with us making sure we were comfortable and everything was good and working out for us as we stayed 5 nights and 6 days in these two lovely condominiums. Highly, highly recommend staying in Pam and Dave's Vacation Rental Properties, (there are also two very lovely Town Homes about 6 block away as well, if you would need more room) you will love every minute of your stay here...we did and will be back for sure!!! Thank you for your kind, warm hospitality Pam and Dave!!

                            We had a great stay in this condo. Fantastic location and awesome spot. Sometimes with VRBO, you don't know whether ads really represent a property, or if they've been inflated or misrepresented. I can say with this one, everything was as good or better than advertised. Pam, the owner, was super sweet and went above and beyond with making us feel welcome and assisting with everything we needed. If you're looking for a loft-style place to stay in the heart of the action, it's hard to imagine you'd find a better place than this.

                            We had a wonderful time staying in Pam and Dave's condo. We live in Raleigh and just wanted a quick trip out of town so chose Wilmington. We had planned to book a loft we had stayed in before but when I saw the pictures of this place, I just knew we had to stay here. Our decorating tastes are very similar and this looks very much like it could be our own place if we were fortunate enough to have one on the coast. We are both from CA and madly in love with the ocean but we don't like staying on the beach side of Wilmington as there is not nearly as much to do in that area when the sun goes down. This is a great location as it's only a 10 minute drive to the beach and is right in the heart of downtown so it's very easy to walk everywhere - shops, restaurants, historic landmarks, etc. There is a bar on the roof so you don't even have to leave the building to have a little fun. There was a line to get in on Saturday night when we returned from dinner but we just told the doorman we were staying there and were immediately let in. It's always nice to get special treatment. :) The place comes better stocked than most - plenty of glassware, a nice coffee pot (instead of the cheap ones usually found in rentals), cutting board, knives, plenty of towels. They even had cleaning supplies under the sink. I hate going somewhere to stay for a couple days and having to go to the store to buy cleaning spray or sponges or paper towls, etc. Everything was already there. Very considerate. Our favorite restaurant is right around the corner - Caprice Bistro. If you're looking for a nice place to eat out, definitely check it out. If you happen to be there on a Sunday evening, they have half priced bottles of wine. Thanks for such a wonderful stay - we hope to be back soon!

Nobody wants to run to the store for paper products or cleaning supplies! We are also glad to hear the Level 5 folks treated you well so there wasn't any hassel getting in to the building. They are usually super nice at the door! We hope to hear from you again! Thank you! Dave and Pam

                            Walking up the stairs to the door on the third floor, you'd never imagine what an awesome apartment lies in wait beyond the hallway. Upon entering, you're presented with a beautiful kitchen and living space, filled with original artwork, retro-furniture and trinkets that give the place a home-away-from-home feel. The loft offers the perfect sleeping space, and an additional seating area overlooking the bridge, presenting one of the most awesome views of downtown we've seen. As former Wilmington residents, we couldn't have been happier to stay in such a unique downtown spot. Front Street during the summer is full of life, so if you're looking for a good home base for exploring the city, you can do no better. Plus, if you are interested in participating in said nightlife, it's the perfect place to stay since you are surrounded by many bars to explore. This is THE place to stay in Wilmington. We will be back!

                            If you are looking for an affordable alternative to corporate hotel chains and still be at the heart of historic Wilmington, this loft is your best bet! The owners have decorated it with a medley of contemporary art, artifacts and Americana, giving the loft a cozy yet sophisticated feel without being pretentious. The first floor offers comfortable living space while the second floor provides spacious sleeping quarters and a great view of the riverfront.The kitchen was nicely stocked with cookware and utensils to make meals at home, cutting costs on dining out. In fact, we brought a cooler of food and made most of our meals at home after beach trips or walks around town! Located on Front street, you have access to restaurants, shops, trolley and carriage tours, and museums in every direction; there is little need for a car. The Front Street Brewery is right next door, along with a wide range of outstanding local restaurants, cafes, and ice cream shops. In addition, a parking deck is conveniently located across the street. We spent most of our time in-town, and only took the car out to go to Wrightsville Beach (about a 20 minute drive). Parking, as of July 2012, is $8.00 per day, which is comparable to most urban parking rates in North Carolina. If you bring dogs, you will find grassy areas within two blocks, located along the river or in front of the Post Office (to the left when you leave the building), with trash cans conveniently located for disposing waste. Pets will enjoy quiet strolls on the riverwalk in the morning, accessible just behind the building on Water street. In addition to outstanding facilities and location, the owners are top-rate. They answer inquiries promptly and encourage you to contact them with any questions or issues with the property. They are also prompt with cashing checks and returning deposits. Be kind to them, and they will return you with kindness! One small caveat for potential renters: this loft *really* is located in the heart of Wilmington nightlife. In addition to street activity at night, there is a rooftop nightclub in this building. The walls and ceiling are thick, but you will still hear music and dancing above you from the bedroom on weekends and holidays. Light sleepers and early birds should keep that in mind... or, since you're on vacation, maybe go join the fun instead! The bed, I assure you, will still be there in the morning.

                            Recommended for: Pet owners, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

                            We were in town for a wedding on memorial day weekend and wanted to be able to stay close to the reception and be within walking distance of restaurants and nightlife. The condo was fantastic. Other cousins that were staying at the main house (full of kids) were super jealous. We loved being the hub before going out at night and bring able to walk to breakfast in the morning. The after party for the wedding was actually on the 5th floor of the building so that was Extra nice. Pam was super accommodating and stayed in contact throughout the booking process.

                            My boyfriend and I were in town with another couple for a wedding. This place is in a great location where we could walk to everything and is beautifully kept on the inside. It was the perfect alternative to staying in the hotel where most of the other wedding guests stayed - less expensive, more space, and closer to the bars and restaurants. Thank you!

My wife and I appreciate how clean and comfortable we found your flat. The central location in the heart of downtown could not have been better. You have a terrific place and we’ll make it our “go to” Wilmington getaway!

                            Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway.
