About this property

Historic Downtown Wilmington- Walk to Riverwalk, Bars, Weddings- Easy Beach Trip

  • Welcome to our Comfortable Historic District home, just 3 short blocks to all the best that Wilmington has to offer. You get the best of both worlds - a short walk to the riverwalk, coffee, great restaurants, bars, and wedding venues - but with a comfortable quiet neighborhood vibe. Short 15-20 minute drive to either Wrightsville or Carolina Beach, some of NC's best beaches. Fully equipped to accommodate your perfect visit to downtown Wilmington, NC. Immerse yourself in the rich culture and history of downtown.

    This property is a private full home as one side of a side-by-side duplex, offering rare amenities for Downtown Wilmington including great parking and driveway, private fenced-in backyard area, huge wraparound front porch with relaxing rocking chairs. You will not find many properties or rentals downtown with amenities like this.

    On the main floor, walk in to a refurbished, fresh, and clean space designed for comfort and relaxation. Fresh functional kitchen with coffee essentials, cooking necessities, door to access the back yard, dining table with room for 6-8, and more. Comfortable living room with new Samsung Smart TV offering access the most popular streaming services. Fast >200mbps WiFi. Clean and fresh powder room.

    Upstairs has 2 large bedrooms, one featuring a large comfortable king bed, and the second with a comfortable queen bed. Perfect fit for a small family, group of couples or group of friends. Full bathroom with newly updated shower upstairs.

    The biggest attraction to this home is the level of comfort/amenities offered in a full home close to downtown. Located on Dock St, this is as central as it gets. Walk 3-4 blocks to downtown, and one more to the Riverwalk. Incredible location for a Downtown Wilmington visit. You will struggle to find a reason to drive or Uber anywhere during a stay here.

    Downtown Wilmington is special in that it offers a rich history, fun vibe and culture - but is also a coastal town. A 15-20 minute drive gets you to the best beaches NC has to offer, including Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach. There is no shortage of fun activities!

Very convenient to waterfront (six blocks). Host was responsive to our requests. Home just as stated. Very comfortable and updated. My only complaint is that I have problem with stairs and I did not have a railing for all steps; however, I knew the bedrooms were upstairs.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The property was super convenient to the Riverwalk. We had no problems communicating with the host. The house was clean and uncluttered and comfortable. The photos are exactly representative of the house. The temperature was very comfortable downstairs and a little less upstairs. The parking in the driveway was tight but very helpful. Only downside was the upstairs bathroom. The shower is great but the bathroom is small and it stays damp and steamy, it helps to keep the exhaust fan running but I was more comfortable leaving the door open to vent the bathroom.

The house is in a great location! The historic district is just a few blocks away. The host was super responsive when we had questions and even though it is a duplex, we didn't hear our neighbors at all!
