About this property

Heart of Downtown - Front/Market Street

Welcome to Momentum Loft!

Our second floor condo overlooks the hustle & bustle of a busy and vibrant downtown Wilmington. Located in the busy intersection of Front and Market Street, the condo is footsteps away from shopping, dining, entertainment and attractions. Our location is a convenient stroll down the Riverwalk to Live Oak Bank Pavilion, Wilmington Convention Center and downtown wedding venues. Our block boasts storefront shopping full of retail, restaurants, deserts, and even an Irish Pub next door.

Our guests can expect the usual city noise. There are no clubs on this section of the block that play loud bass through the night. The Irish Pub next door does have 2 outdoors speakers that play music at a tolerable level until 2am. The living room is in the front of the condo to enjoy a bird’s eye view of what’s happening on the streets below. The bedroom is in the back of the unit eliminating a significant amount of the street noise.

Once you get downtown you don’t need your car anymore because you can walk everywhere. Our guests usually park in the City of Wilmington’s Market Street Parking Deck (behind the buildings across the street). The parking deck is pay by the hour or 14.00 all day if you don’t leave the deck. We offer premium parking in our private space on the ground level with unlimited exit/entry for 15.00 a day. It’s not included in the price of the stay because half of our guests travel to Wilmington by air and don’t need parking. If you are interested in premium parking, just let us know after you book. We will also ask when we send the check-in information on the morning of your stay.

Have an amazing time in Wilmington!

A humble surf shop owner.

Why they chose this property

In May of 2008, my wife and I opened Momentum Surf and Skate in downtown Wilmington at 5 North Front Street. I was running a fine dining restaurant at 114 Market Street called Deluxe and the Front Street building I had my eye on came up for rent! We wasted no time and leased the space without any plan or funding, just a dream! Our new business flourished and we decided in 2011 to renovate our upstairs surfboard gallery back into an apartment for our visiting friends. Our friendship base grew quickly when everyone realized how cool our little downtown condo was so we had to get organized with a calendar and a way for people to help us pay the bills. Now VRBO handles all of that for us!

What makes this property unique

We are in the middle of the hustle & bustle and downtown Wilmington is beautiful all 4 seasons of the year! Immerse yourself in the culture and tastings of the Port City and celebrate the life you deserve!
