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.

Great location and place!

My husband and I stayed here with our dog and it was in a perfect location. Easy to walk to all the restaurants and coffee shops and a short drive to the beach. The host is very responsive and made sure we had a great stay. If we come back to the area we will definitely be staying here again.

Great location, close to anything you would need from eating, groceries, gas and shopping in general. Walking around the area is really nice, cute homes and a great deal of history. The home itself is super cute and comfy, especially for its age! Craig was very accommodating and let us check in earlier, as we got in town Way ahead of schedule! Home stayed cool with the AC in this crazy heat and the kitchen is really nice. The back yard is small so your vehicle will take up some space if you park behind the gate/fence. Now we have a pretty tall jeep with wide tires that barely got in there lol but it did and that is own us ;) It was still nice to be able to just walk out with our small dogs and let them go potty. We were only here for a business type trip but would def stay here again if we ever came back!

Perfect place to stay!

This was a charming, attractive, well stocked apartment, with a cute little shaded back yard. We enjoyed being able to walk to our favorite Wilmington locations as well as discovering new favorites while exploring the city. We were always able to find parking on our block. We would definitely stay here again.

Convenient Location Nice Property

First trip to Wilmington. Not knowing much about the city, we were pleased how was well suited it was to walking to the downtown/river front. The inside was as presented on VRBO and very comfortable. We had our 2 dogs with us - they really enjoyed the enclosed courtyard as did we! Our host was easy to communicate with. Highly recommended this property.

Great place to walk everywhere.

We enjoyed this stay as a place to walk towards downtown and around the city. As mentioned in other reviews there is road noise, and some noise from upstairs at times, but it didn’t hinder our sleep. We enjoyed being able to bring our dog along and it was a great neighborhood to walk around and see the historical old houses.

stay in Antebellum

We enjoyed our stay with the location being within walking distance of historic downtown Wilmington. The house had everything we needed and with the owners living on the second floor any issues or questions can be quickly taken care of. The house is located on a fairly busy street so there is some street noise but overall the house was very nice.

Amazing communication and location

Could not suggest this place more. Not only great location to downtown and close to the beach, but the host Craig was fantastic. Very easy communication and Craig was very accommodating when my husband and I had a family emergency come up. The place had everything you could need and was very beautiful. Would definitely stay here again.

Wilmington, NC

Location is phenomenal- close enough to downtown to walk, but far enough away to be out of the fray. Lots of thoughtful amenities, everything was labeled well, and our interaction with Craig (the host) was filled with southern hospitality. If we find ourselves visiting Wilmington again in the future, we would definitely be a repeat guest.

Great location in Wilmington

What better place to stay in Wilmington than the Historic District? Very charming house, comfortable, and well-provisioned. My pet allergy kicked in because I was a knucklehead and didn’t realize the house was pet friendly! My bad, that’s what happens when I “speed read.” Anyhoo, nice place to stay and thanks to the hosts!

Great place for visiting Wilmington

My husband and I spent 3 nights at this property. It was very comfortable, close to everything in a beautiful historical residence. The owners have taken great care creating a comfortable place to stay. It is well appointed and is a nice walk to downtown restaurants and the waterfront. The availability of gated parking on the property is a great amenity. We highly recommend this home.

Charming Historical Spot

We enjoyed our stay here very much. Convenient to downtown. Very clean and nicely furnished. Loved that we could bring our dog. Appreciated the little outside patio to enjoy our morning coffee. Very nice to have off-street parking. We came on a festival weekend so the traffic was a bit loud for sleeping. Met the owners as we arrived and they were very kind and helpful. Would definitely stay again!

Great Location and Great Property

This property is wonderful. Fully equipped and beautiful. Craig was excellent to work with and very attentive. The parking inside the gate is a little tight so we ended up parking on the street during our stay. Street parking was easily available directly next to the property. We would definitely stay here again!!
