About David Bolton
My wife and I love the Wilmington area, and have been long time residents of North Carolina. We also love to travel ourselves, and have been in the home sharing business for several years. We have stayed around the US and overseas in vacation rental properties, and love the idea of the personalized space that resides in communities. We have four children and three dogs, love the beach and the outdoors, and enjoy cooking, playing music and sharing time with family and friends. We want your stay to be a great one, and for that reason, we are a local owner just a few blocks away from the townhouse.

Why David Bolton chose Historic District
The Townhouse is ideally located by the river and the downtown area in the Historic District, and is just a great location for enjoying Wilmington. The property is close to many fantastic restaurants, bars and music venues, all within walking distance, which makes this location ideal. It's close enough to walk, yet far enough away for peace and quiet.
What makes this Townhome unique
Just across the street, there is a public boat launch or a nice place to fish right off the bank. And really close by are two little bars to get a cold drink, sit outside and enjoy the river air. You can walk to a craft brewery or down to the river walk that goes right along the Cape Fear River all the way from one end of downtown to the other.

Great home base for a visit to Wilmington
A couple of weeks ago, I too got my car bombarded by a flock of robins and had to make a run to the car wash! I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay at the Townhouse -just as you say it’s a great location to enjoy so many things around town, and always rewarding to hear others appreciate it as we do. Please come back anytime!
A very clean, well appointed, and situated property in historic Wilmington.
Perfect location and shared space for couples!
Great place, great location

Location
The townhouse is close to everything you need-shopping, bars great restaurants, movie theaters, Cape Fear Music Stage, UNC-Wilmington music and lecture series, Cape Fear Community College one mile away. You have a washer and dryer in the townhouse, extra chairs and towels for the beach, and a great place to walk dogs if they are on a leash. Bikes are available for an additional charge. There are many fresh fish markets, grocery stores and butchers if you want to cook a great meal at home. The convenience of our location is unbeatable for getting around easily in the Wilmington area, with the advantage of walking to the downtown area where there are fantastic restaurants and bars which feature a multitude of food choices: fish and oyster house, Asian, Thai food, (Indochian is great), mexican, home style, breakfast joints, bar food, Americana, Fondue Bar, pretty much anything you like will be available within a few blocks walk! Getting to Wrightsville Beach takes about 15 - 20 minutes, as does Carolina and Kure Beaches, which are both easily accessed from 3rd St., just two blocks from the Townhouse.
