About this property

Historic home in downtown Wilmington, NC

Historic charm without the crazy price. Only one block from downtown Wilmington, NC. Walk the river front and visit the many privately owned shops and restaurants of every imaginable kind. Visit museums or numerous historic sites dating back before the revolutionary war. You can also ride the various trolleys or horse drawn carriages. Maybe the famous ghost tour is more to your liking. Several beaches within 15 to 30 minutes. The downtown area is very supportive of our four legged friends.There is a little bit of everything for everyone. You can even do nothing at all and enjoy porch living at it's finest right at home.

First, the location of this beautiful home, its homey comfort, and great amenities! Loved the patio and wished we had more time to enjoy it all more fully. Our host was very responsive with communication although very little was needed. Everything was easy with checking in/out. Very safe too! Wilmington is a lovely town and feel so fortunate to have found the St James Inn!! Thanks Brian (our top notch Host)

About the host

Hosted by Brian Hansley

Host profile image
I love to be social. There is never a stranger I won't talk to. I love old houses and old communities like I grew up in. I love the simple pleasures, such as, the water and parks.

Why they chose this property

The property has all the great architecture and beauty of the houses of yesteryear. The whole community is just as nice with trolley and carriage rides right in front of the house. The historic downtown with a view of the river is breathtaking with a view of the sunset. Downtown has a lot of options for those vegetarians and vegans and very hospitable to our four legged friends.
