Heart Of Wilmington Vacation For You!

This place was PERFECT, my boyfriend and I are from Raleigh and just wanted to get away for the weekend. We toured the battle ship, had lunch and beers, did a little shopping and did everything within walking distance of this place.

The owners are great, we forgot our phone charger there and they offered to mail it back to us shortly after our stay!

10/10

I will say though, if you are looking for a quiet get away to read a book indoors and go to bed at 9:00pm... this isnt it. There is an awesome roof top bar that gives this place a steady amount of background noise

It was perfect! My husband and I stayed there for the Ironman 70.3 and it was in the perfect location. It is a short walk to the convention center with easy access to the highway to Wrightsville Beach. It is also right in the middle of everything in downtown Wilmington. We loved every minute of staying there. Michael made several contacts to make sure everything was okay and that we had everything that we needed. We will definitely stay there again if we return to Wilmington. We highly recommend it.

Michael’s apartment is lovely, well furnished, and the perfect location for enjoying downtown Wilmington and all it has to offer. BUT...the building itself has a few quirks you need to be aware of. The building has an elevator which is great if you’re traveling with octogenarians and a lot of crap. This particular elevator has obviously been in service for many years, and apparently get a LOT of use by patrons of the rooftop bar. Fortunately, we were warned by a ‘local’ that we needed to keep all our weight balanced in the center of the elevator, as it had a tendency to ‘hang up’ if overloaded or unbalanced. This proved to be true.

Also, this perfect location comes with it’s share of downtown liveliness...lots of noise from the patrons of the establishments on the first floor of the building, even more activity from those visiting the rooftop bar. Earplugs are a must if you are a light sleeper.

We stayed here for two nights, and met the members of the hard-working Wilmington Fire Department on both of them. First night a drunk in the basement set off the fire alarm, second night was a patron stuck in the elevator. The fireman I spoke with told me that visits to this building were pretty-much routine.

We three old ladies had a good time in Wilmington and would stay at Michael’s again, in spite of all the unexpected excitement!

Historic downtown location , with European charm, this VRBO provides both. An architecturally interesting building reclaimed for urban living. The wide plank floors and big windows provide interest and light. It is a slight walk up to the unit. Well laid out design provides all the necessary convenience and free laundry room a few steps away.

Michael and Adam are very attentive and welcoming hosts. Their unit is very well maintained and decorated with sophistication and charm. I highly recommend them to you. I hope to have the opportunity to stay in this secure, comfortable, charming unit again.

Great location within walking distance of many local restaurants, bars, coffee shops, local shopping and the river front.

Great rooftop bar!

You do hear all the noise from the street, usually quiets down after 2am.

We loved this place and it was a perfect spot for our girls get away trip, should we find ourselves in Wilmington again we would stay here again!
