Beautiful

Had an amazing stay in the heart of downtown Wilmington. Very quiet with beautiful sunsets over the Cape Fear River. Your best bet is the parking garages on 2nd to park otherwise you’ll get a ticket. Definitely will stay here again without a doubt

Short getaway

The place is lovely - clean and nicely decorated. Small but all you need is there. Balcony overlooked the Cape Fear River with the USS North Carolina across from you. Sunsets were beautiful. Nice weather, a lot to do, plenty of good resturants... We had a great time.

Our stay in Wilmington

We loved everything about Wilmington. The restaurants were beautiful and the food was very good. My favorite was The George. The waitress there was super friendly and answered our questions about the area. We toured the Bellamy Mansion and walked all around the Historic area. Beautiful churches and homes. We took lots of pictures. Our condo was beautiful and the perfect location to walk to everything. We travel every year for our anniversary and this was one of our favorites so far.

Cozy, Clean, Close!

Furnishings done with a cozy degree of class and sophistication. It’s just the perfect size for a weekend getaway. We could not get over the view from the balcony, our favorite spot where we enjoyed the battleship view and boating/wildlife activity on the river. We parked our car on Thursday and never needed it again until time to go home on Sunday. We have already begun looking at our calendar for our next visit!

Good Location on the River Front

Great location. Apartment had all we needed. Could have been a bit cleaner. Parking is an issue. Don’t remember if parking is mentioned in the description. Didn’t know about the limited free parking g and the cost for all day until we received the instructions after booking.

Family trip - loved it!

Location location location! Walking distance to so much. We brought our young boys and it was fun walking around, getting ice cream, etc. Everything was really nice - we would absolutely love to come back! City Noises minimal: We weren't there during high season but couldn't hear neighbors and while there was some street noise in the bedroom, turning on the tower fan drowned it out. Safety: Well lit, 2 blocks from Market/Water Street. Felt completely safe. Conveniences: walking distance to restaurants, shops, bars. There's a nice convenience store (DGX) a block away for milk, creamer, any supplies you need to grab last minute. Battleship a short drive away.

Good place despite the noise

apartment was clean and convenient, but loud at night due to the bar scene. The TV was odd and unresponsive most of the time. The dishwasher wouldn’t stop beeping unless we ran it but never used it. the dryer can only be used on one set as the timer does not work. parking is available right next to the building for $13 a day. overall, nice place but easily disrupted and the appliances were frustrating.

Beautiful river view

Love the river view location. The space is very well represented through the photos on the listing. Overall, the unit was clean. However, the extra sheets when taken out of the wrapping smelled of smoke and we had to rewash in order to be able to feel comfortable using them. The blankets also had this smell and was not pleasant. The location is a love hate situation. The views and proximity to downtown are perfect . But with that came bar noise up to around 3 am. So if you plan on this unit bring a fan or headphones if you don't plan to be participate in late night activities. Parking is also an issue..there was plenty of offsite parking but it was just an added inconvenience, not a deal breaker: just something to consider.
