About this property

Pontiac Oasis in the ❤️ of Downtown Wilmington

Only 2 Blocks from RIVERFRONT in a safe quiet location! Spacious ground floor condo - designated FREE parking space right outside front door. TWO BEDROOMS

Welcome... Oasis is my lovely, spacious ground floor apartment with designated parking right outside the apartment front door, in a converted 1950s Pontiac dealership - right in the heart of Downtown.

HOA says maximum of four guests.

Oasis is fully decorated Urban style to bring out the best from the 12 foot ceilings and two huge cathedral windows. You will love having plenty of room in this lovely apartment. The open plan full kitchen and dining area makes staying here convenient and easy. One King bed and one Queen with luxury linens. Step into everything Wilmington has to offer; Riverfront Boardwalk, Historic District, Brooklyn Arts Center, Convention Center, Wilson Center, shops and restaurants all moments away, then come back into the quiet to recharge.

YOUR DESIGNATED PARKING SPACE IS RIGHT OUTSIDE THE DOOR so you can experience City living without the stress of constantly trying to find a parking space or searching for coins for the meter.

Ready for a day at the Beach? Go up one block, turn left and stay on the same road until you see the sea- it's as easy as that and I leave beach chairs, umbrella, beach towels and cooler.

Romantic getaway or convenient base for couples traveling together. Child at UNCW or CFCC? - perfect place when visiting or graduation. Attending the Wilmington Convention Center? - it is only 3 blocks away. Finish/start lines for downtown marathons are a easy walking distance.

Oasis is a quiet retreat in a residential neighborhood in the heart of Downtown Wilmington, therefore if you are looking to party, Oasis is NOT the right choice for your holiday. We no longer take bookings from groups of unrelated guests in their teens and early 20’s.

Sorry... No Pets, No Smoking, No Vaping - HOA restrictions. RATES: All quotes and bookings will apply 13% Room Occupancy Tax (State of NC and City of Wilmington payable on all Hotel or Vacation rentals).

2 Night Minimum. High demand weekends are a 3 night minimum.

Not suitable for children under 12. The HOA also doesn't allow pets at Pontiac Place. Thank you!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

very nice to stay downtown, park the car in the included private spot, and enjoy walking around. Some limitations with shops/restaurants due to COVID, but still enjoyed returning to Wilmington, a favorite locale in NC.

Thank you, JoAnn for your kind review, however it was disappointing to learn that you "don't give 5-Star ratings". I'm sharing a (cheeky) guide to assist you in rating future hosts who like me, rely on 5-Star ratings for their livelihood. *When rating us after your stay, please consider that Vrbo's rating is totally different than the classic hotel star rating system: You should know that Vrbo can close down any listing that drops below an average of 4.3 stars at once. So the least we can say is that the system is rather confusing. To give you a better understanding, we designed the following (cheeky) guide to the rating system: 5-Stars: Perfection does not exist, but we're happy here. 4-Stars: Several issues need to be improved, ASAP. 3-Stars: Major problems that should be fixed immediately. 2-Stars: Close it down at once. 1-Star: Put these hosts into jail. We always strive to give our guests a 5 Star experience. Please let us know any problems you may have during your stay and we will do everything within our power to solve it.

Perfect Spot in Wilmington

We had a great stay at the Pontiac Oasis. It was perfectly located in Wilmington’s downtown, close enough to the restaurants with an easy walk, but far enough that’s quiet. It’s a very cool space and very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need. The host was fantastic.

Birthday fun

Came to Wilmington to celebrate a birthday and visit friends who are residents. Perfect location to enjoy the historic district and also easy to come and go while visiting with our friends. Incidentally, we bought a car during this weekend and it was rather fun to be staying in a condo built in a former car dealership! The space was cool and cozy!!

Perfect Wedding Getaway!

My husband and I stayed at Oasis while visiting Wilmington for our destination wedding! It was the perfect place to come back and relax after dinner with family and guests, rehearsal, and long beach days. We loved being able to walk to downtown restaurants and still only being 10-15 minutes from Wrightsville beach. The amenities really made our stay! We had everything we needed all right there! Marilyn went above and beyond for us! We can't thank you enough for making our wedding so special! Thank you for having us!

Nothing To (Cape) Fear Here, A True Oasis

Instructions and communication from Marilyn were helpful and clear and she was readily available when I had questions. The unit was spotless, well-appointed, and comfortable. The location could not be better... away from restaurant/bar noise but only a few minutes walk from everything (~6 min walk to Market Street). Would love to stay here again in the future!

Great Condo

My husband and I have stayed in many VRBO’s and Pontiac Oasis ranks right there at the top. We were in Wilmington for our niece’s wedding at the Brooklyn Arts Center. We were within walking distance to everything downtown. Lots of great restaurants nearby. This place was immaculate, bed was comfortable, and the kitchen stocked with everything you could possibly need. The owner, Marilyn, was superb. She was always available for any questions and checked in on us without being intrusive. A very enjoyable time. Thanks for everything.

Wilmington Getaway long weekend

First, the condo/apartment (Oasis) was very clean and was equipped with everything you could possibly want .The condo was recently renovated and includes all new modern equipment. My wife noted that the host had equipped the condo with high quality and significant quantity of supplies to accommodate any requirements. I happened to incur a small cut during my stay and sure enough there were band-aids included in the bathroom amenities. This condo meet every expectation and more. Second:, Marilyn the host was 5 Star. She worked with us throughout our stay to assure everything went well. She worked with us to assist in an early check in and provided restaurant referrals. When we were not familiar with Apple TV, in the bedroom TV, and did not know how to use the remote she immediately assisted giving us her personal phone number and having her husband come and immediately assist. I felt very comfortable that my host , Marilyn, was available at all times to assure my stay went well. In summary, I hesitate to give such a good review as I'm concerned everyone will book up this property making it difficult me to return. But I definitely intend to return to this property and I recommend any one else to do the same.

Wonderful!

I stayed here with my mother as a mother and daughter get away. The property was exactly as described and shown on Vrbo. Not only do we feel extremely safe in the location, but the dedicated parking was so nice to have and was directly in front of the unit. The apartment was well appointed and comfortable. It was stylishly decorated, and Marilyn certainly made us feel welcome with a goodie basket and a personal note. We were easily able to walk downtown to all of the little shops and access the Riverwalk which is only about a block or 2 away. My mother went on and on about how great the place was. We can’t wait to come back! Thanks so much, Marilyn!

Vacationed with the Pontiac neighborhood!

You MUST stay here. This was our second time staying at Pontiac Oasis. You can’t beat the location — right downtown (on a quieter end) and easy access to roadways to the beaches! Having a designated parking space is so convenient. Marilyn is easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed ahead of time and followed-up during our stay. We were invited by some of the other tenants for a bonfire and it was great to hear about their experiences in Wilmington! Made us feel very welcomed and at home!

Hello Scott! Thank you for your review and feedback. Since opening Pontiac Oasis 2 years ago, the focus has been on the guest experience. Since inception, every single guest providing feedback has rated their Oasis experience 5-stars. So it was a surprise to receive your review and rating of 3-stars. I have waited a couple of days to respond to your review as I have been trying to figure out where I fell short. All of my guests should have a 5-star experience. In interpreting your review, I have come to the conclusion that there are inconsistencies that don’t make sense. I am proactive in a preventive maintenance program that includes quarterly pest control, regular HVAC maintenance, battery replacement for all of the remotes, light bulb replacement and deep cleaning. I am also following all Vrbo cleaning and disinfecting guidelines for Covid-19. The guests staying immediately prior to your visit and immediately after your visit rated us 5-stars with excellent reviews. In addition in the last two years, I have not had a single complaint about any pests. Your review further stated that you were disturbed every morning of your stay by noise. I had guests staying at my unit, PalmTini next to the unit you were staying during your visit and I had zero complaints and was given a 5-star review. Also, I have asked some of the full-time residents at Pontiac Place and they do not remember any type of noise disturbance. The final inconsistency is that my check-in instructions to all my guests specifically states if you have any complaints or concerns during you stay to notify me immediately so I can address the issues. During your stay (just as I do all my guests), I texted you on your phone asking if all was well with your stay and you text back with "Yes" and a thumps up symbol. Part of creating a five-star experience is being proactive and ensuring that my guests are not encountering any problems or need assistance. I've been trying to understand why you would not have voiced your concerns during your stay. Given these inconsistencies, my conclusion regarding your review stems from the fact that you requested a substantial discount because you were a prior guest, as you asked if you could have the same rate that you paid during your visit 7 months ago. I explained that I was unable to reduce the rates as your most recent visit was during a weekend, in high-demand season and your prior visit was during the week, during low-demand season. I wished you well and thanked you for thinking of Oasis for your visit...however, you decided to book anyway. With so much inconsistency, it appears that your review was a form of retribution for not getting the below market rate you requested. Marilyn
