About this property

Downtown Bliss

This charming 1800’s Victorian duplex used to be our worst place. That is, until it underwent an extensive renovation that was completed in summer of 2023. It retains its historic charm with original wooden doors, a bedroom fireplace (now decorative only), and its location on a quiet cobblestone street. However, it was thoughtfully modernized with new plumbing, electric, flooring, appliances, and light fixtures and is decorated in a timeless style with a nod to its heritage but in no way retro. This downstairs 2 bedroom 2 bath duplex has lots of historic charm. You enter the duplex from the back of the house into the cozy living room that has comfortable seating and a large smart TV. The primary suite has a queen bed with hybrid mattress, TV, decorative original fireplace, and spacious private bathroom with a tile shower. The bright and airy second bedroom is in the front of the house and has a queen bed with hybrid mattress and TV. The second bathroom is located under the staircase but is surprisingly roomy and has a tiled shower.

The large eat-in kitchen with seating for 4 is outfitted with all new appliances, including a gas stove, dish washer, and washer/dryer laundry center. It includes cookware, dishes, and kitchen basics and includes a coffee bar, bottled water, and some snacks.

The back porch has 4 rocking chairs and overlooks the backyard garden and is a perfect place to relax.

This duplex is just a stone’s throw to downtown Wilmington, so you can walk to downtown and enjoy the historic north end of downtown. Off street parking is included (small and mid sized cars only as the driveway is narrow) and there is always plenty of street parking for larger vehicles, vehicles pulling a trailer, or additional vehicles. Located a short pleasant walk to the riverwalk, restaurants, breweries, museums, entertainment, and more. Just a 30 minute drive to the beaches.

Checkout: Checkout is 11am, but we can offer late checkout as availability allows. 12pm checkout is $20, and 1pm checkout is $30. Please contact us first and if we can accommodate your late checkout, we will be happy to.

This house is in a great location-- walkable to downtown yet on a nice quiet tree lined street with quaint historic homes. The property is beautifully maintained and the apartment is so well decorated. The full sized kitchen is great so you don't have to eat out for every meal. They really thought of everything.

I’ve stayed in many STR’s and this has by far been my best experience! The home is lovely, cozy and just as beautiful as the pictures. The location is perfect for walking anywhere you need to go downtown. Safety and comfortability is super important to us as we’re a gay couple with a child and we felt safe the entire time. The response time and communication from the host was so quick! They have a really cool guide book that has a bunch of recommendations of things to do and places to eat and visit. Definitely will be rebooking in the future!

Really cute house! Parking in the back of the house is great! Loved the back porch & rockers. Bedrooms are good sized & comfortable. The hallway bathroom is a bit snug but ok. The “master bedroom” has its own bathroom that is a good size. Love that both have walk-in showers! Nice coffee station with cups below. And included with out stay were snacks & a bottle of wine; pleasantly surprised! The couch is super comfy & easy to nap/sleep on as an extra “bed”. Nice, easy walk to downtown Wilmington past some beautiful old homes and churches. The easy accessible walk to downtown was the best draw for us, even later in the evening! Definitely recommend!

Appreciated the easy check-in and check-out processes. Loved that my cleaning fee meant I didn't have to clean too much before leaving. Comfortable beds, spacious, waters in the fridge when we arrived, light snacks, and very close to downtown!
