About this property
Ebert-Artis Cottage - Heart of Downtown
WELCOME to Historic Ebert-Artis Cottage!
We hope you have a great stay in Wilmington's Beautiful Historic District! The Ebert-Artis House is a renovated downtown home with modern conveniences all while maintaining its historic charm. This property features a stately front porch, elegant contemporary kitchen, beautiful hardwood floors, fenced in rear yard, and off street parking! The upstairs features two guest bedrooms, a full guest bathroom and a beautiful owner's suite, which includes a renovated bathroom with dual vanities, soaking tub, and large walk-in shower. The downstairs features office (or 4th bedroom!), formal dining, eat in kitchen and living room with fireplace. You'll love spending time in the spacious backyard complete with a fire pit and grill. The house is equipped with a whole house water filtration system and comes with plenty of room to have space for all of your family and friends! If you drive an electric vehicle, there is even a TESLA charger installed at the house for you to use.
The location of Ebert-Artis Cottage truly can't be beat. You'll be able to easily walk to all the amazing shops and restaurants that Downtown Wilmington has to offer. The Riverwalk is only a few blocks away as well. You're close enough to get all the benefits of downtown but in a quiet location away from all the hustle and bustle.
Guests will have full access to the entire house, porch, and yard space. There is a locked owners closet for our supplies, but everything else is yours to use. Please note - this is a 2 story home and all full bathrooms are on the second floor so the use of stairs is necessary for access.
Good to Know Before Your Stay:
Verification & Rental Agreement To help ensure a safe and secure experience for everyone, we use SafeGuest for identity verification and rental agreement review. After your reservation is confirmed, you'll receive a link with simple instructions to complete this process prior to arrival. A security deposit will be required through SafeGuest.
Check-In & Check-Out Check-in begins at 4:00 PM, and check-out is 10:00 AM. These times allow our cleaning team the opportunity to thoroughly prepare the home for each guest. During our busy summer season (Memorial Day through Labor Day), we are generally unable to accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs from Friday through Sunday due to tight turnover schedules. During the week, we are happy to check availability within 24 hours of arrival or departure. When accommodations are possible, a fee of $25 per hour applies for early arrivals or late departures.
A Note About Coastal Wildlife One of the joys of the coast is being surrounded by nature. Our area is home to a variety of local insects, including spiders, ants, and palmetto bugs, particularly during warmer months. The home receives regularly scheduled professional pest control treatments, but occasional sightings can still occur despite our best efforts. If you encounter any concerns during your stay, please let us know and we'll gladly arrange additional treatment if needed. Seeing native insects will not be grounds for a cancellation or refund.
Television & Streaming While this property does not offer cable service, smart TVs or Rokus are available for you to access your favorite streaming platforms using your personal accounts. Please remember to log out before departure, or remotely through your streaming service if needed.
Cleanliness Our housekeeping team takes great pride in preparing the home for every guest, however everyone is human. If anything doesn't meet your expectations upon arrival, please let us know as soon as possible so we can address it promptly and help ensure you have a comfortable stay.
Respect for Our Neighborhood This home is located in a residential community, and we kindly ask guests to be mindful of our neighbors. Quiet hours are between 10:00pm and 7:00am each day. Parties and events are not permitted in accordance with platform policies. Excessive noise or unauthorized gatherings may result in the reservation being terminated without refund.
Travel Insurance We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your vacation investment from unexpected events. Reservations and cancellations are handled according to the cancellation policy selected at booking, and we are unable to modify reservation dates within 30 days of arrival.
Location Information One of the best parts of this location is its convenient access to nearby restaurants, shops, and attractions. As a result, you may occasionally hear sounds associated with downtown living, including pedestrians, vehicle traffic, or aircraft overhead. Most guests find the area pleasantly active without being overly noisy.

The house is located in historic Wilmington and is close to everything. It was about 15 minutes from the beach which was great. Very clean, spacious and had everything we needed. Communication was great and fast.
Great house, plenty of space and nicely appointed. Had everything we needed. The historic area is lovely to walk around and this house is very walkable to downtown Wilmington. Lovely!
Everything was very clean! The house was in a very walkable area as well! The driveway can hold up to a sedan, which makes the street parking no issue.
The house is perfectly located in historic Wilmington, easily walkable to many restaurants, historical sites, and the River Walk area. The owner was very helpful and communicative and we had a lovely stay.
Great home in a perfect location! Easy walk to riverfront, restaurants and coffee shops. We were in town for a family wedding and this home was very comfortable for 7adults and a toddler. Easy drive to the beach as well! Would highly recommend!!
We booked this house for move in weekend for my daughter at UNCW. It was a great house, plenty of room! Great location to the Riverwalk- we walked to dinner both nights!
You might not be able to find another place in historic Wilmington that is like this property. Walkable to great food/ drink/ shopping/ waterfront, easy check in, easy parking, wonderful home full of history. Thanks for such a memorable stay!
Amazing! We would stay here again! Fully equipped kitchen…. Functioning gas grill outdoors! We loved the fire pit in the backyard with enough Adirondack chairs for all! Beautiful location and walkable to all the delicious restaurants and coffee shops. Jody was very responsive! Great memories! Thank you!
The house was great! Modern conveniences paired with historic architecture. We loved the front porch and hung out there even when it was well above 90. The proximity to the riverfront/riverwalk was great. An easy walk being just a couple blocks away. Being surrounded by so many beautiful historic homes was incredible. A great place to visit.
This house was perfect for myself and my bridesmaids for my wedding at St. Mary’s Basilica just two doors down! So much space to get ready and beautiful getting ready pictures.
We had an excellent two night stay at EBC. The location was amazing as it was an easy walk to downtown restaurants, shops and venues. Parking was easy and plentiful. It was tastefully decorated and loved the historical feel of the home. Kitchen was well stocked and the only thing I'd recommend is to have an extra roll of paper towels. The previous guests took the paper towels outside and we did not discover that until we were checking out. So we went the entire stay without napkins or paper towels which we really could've used. There was plenty of backup blankets and towels for the bedrooms and baths. Would recommend and definitely stay again!
The house accommodates a large group, and has a big kitchen and dining area. Very nice gas grill. Comfortable beds. We definitely had some glitches with missing essentials, but Jody responded very quickly to our requests. We enjoyed the location in easy walking distance of River Walk. We were there for graduation at UNC-W.
