Located in the Wilmington Downtown Historic District , the Antebellum House is loaded with charm and elegance. Our goal in offering this suite to you is to bring you the character and history of our home , while still giving you modern conveniences and comfort.

Spacious, nice layout, bed was comfortable with "just right" pillows. Location was perfect for a nice walk to downtown. The off street parking was just right for our car. The location was a bit noisy being under the flight path and on Market street during the day. However, the noise went away before bed time. We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome place!

My wife and I spent 4 days in this charming old home built in 1868. Located in a beautiful historic area that's only a 15 minute walk to downtown Wilmington. We both loved staying in this house. We highly recommend this place for a couple wanting to visit Wilmington.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this historic home! The host graciously provided ample supplies of everyday items as well as towels. Our dog was comfortable with the porch and fenced side yard. The location was perfectly situated for site seeing and within walking distance of the waterfront, restaurants, and wonderful coffee house, Concorde Espresso Bar. We delighted in the fact that it was a fifteen minute walk to the waterfront and our vehicle never left the driveway!
