Historic Front St Loft w/Sauna! Best location in Heart of Downtown Wilmington
Welcome to the heart of downtown Wilmington, NC! This loft is privately tucked upstairs in the historic Shrier building with so much within walking distance:
Steps to coffee, coworking, shopping, and dining 1 block from the Wilmington Riverwalk 2 blocks to Cape Fear Community College 5 min walk to the Convention Center 15 minute walk to the Live Oak Bank Pavilion 3 miles to Battleship NC 7 miles to the University of Wilmington 20 minute drive to Wrightsville Beach, 30 minutes to Carolina Beach!
The space You will love the contrast of being right in the center of downtown while being able to walk up to a completely private loft with all the comforts of home. The walls are 12ft tall and new updates throughout give this loft a spacious and modern feel. You will LOVE the balcony overlooking Front Street. Talk about just sitting back, relaxing, people watching, and being able to enjoy the bustle from above. AND the last little luxury I'd love to mention is my awesome dry sauna in my master bathroom!
Guest access Entire Place. Quiet hours 10p-8a. No parties.
Other things to note No free parking for my loft. Street parking is free from 6:30pm-9:00am Monday through Saturday and free on Sunday. I park in the lot behind the building and sometimes find street parking right in front. There are several decks around and I just unload in the front (if space allows) and then I move my car.
There is a walk up! One flight of stairs, no elevator.
Sleeps 6 means: Two beds (one queen, one king) and one pull out sofa. As my spot is so spacious it comfortably sleeps 6. I also have an air mattress as well. Please disclose all guests staying overnight as we set up accordingly.
I have a similar unit exactly adjacent to this unit, within same walk up. If you are booking a bigger party, let me know.
If you have any questions, please message me. I look forward to hosting you! Ok

Great location! We loved the place and it had everything we were looking for during our visit. We came in to run the Half Marathon and it was convenient to be able to walk to the race and to restaurants.
We had a great couple of days. The location was great , the check in process was excellent and the host was super communicative. We will definitely come back. The sauna was a great plus.
Great spot. Clean and a great location. Would stay there again.

Great location, easily walkable to Riverfront and restaurants; modern accommodations, comfortable bedding, kitchen well stocked, cute balcony for people-watching, etc. Parking behind building is fairly convenient. Will definitely stay there again!
This was our second time staying here. We love the location and the comfort of this place. So clean and well organized! We will definitely be back again!
This property is in a perfect location in Wilmington. We vacation Wilmington a couple times a year, and this is now our favorite property. We will definitely rebook!
We were so pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed staying here. Clean and so well equipped. We walked to restaurants and enjoyed walking the boardwalk. Parking was easy. We used the sauna too which was a great touch! We drove a short distance to Wrightsville Beach. We look forward to another stay.
The host has provided everything you need to have a fabulous time. The property is in an ideal location to walk to numerous restaurants, shops, attracions and the Riverwalk. We felt so pampered and thoroughly enjoyed our wonderful trip. This property should be at the very top of your list if you are considering visiting Wilmington!
Beautiful space right in the heart of downtown Wilmington. We were there at the same time as the Azalea festival and we were right in the middle of it all. Could walk anywhere you wanted. And the space was quiet. Bedrooms were big. Everything was clean. Perfect place to stay and we will definitely be back!
Myself & 2 other adult friends just experienced this fabulous property. We mutually agreed upon our satisfaction & surpassed expectations. The host, Emanuela was very informative & quick to answer pre check in questions. The property was super clean & very well-maintained. The location makes it accessible to so much, whether walking or driving. So it certainly is a superbly recommended place for beautiful Wilmington.
Modern updates but kept some of the historic charm. 12 ft ceilings make space feel much bigger than it is. Two bedrooms and pull out sofa offer more beds than many properties in the area. Excellent communication with host, very quick to respond. Location cannot be beat. Enjoyed the balcony facing Front St. Close to all the coffee shops, boutiques and restaurants downtown. Wish parking was free but no fault of host- hotels in the area charge more for parking than the garage behind the unit. Very clean, will definitely stay again.
My husband, three adult children and I enjoyed our stay at this rental over the Fourth. It is right in the middle of everything and an easy walk to so many restaurants and the river! You do have to find your own parking, but we could always find parking on the street and there was a parking ramp right behind the building. The apartment is very well stocked with everything you would need. The only thing I might have liked were some beach towels, so if you’re planning to go to the beach, bring your own. Overall, a really great place to have as your homebase when on vacation in Wilmington!
Emanuela was an amazing host. The loft was spacious with all new appliances and in the best location right on Front Street close to everything. We were having such a great time we extended our trip an extra day. Emanuela was so accommodating. Can't wait to go back!
This property is everything you could ever need! It is very clean, comfortable, safe, stocked and is very close to so many stores, restaurants, the River Walk! We wish we could have stayed longer! We will definitely come back again!
This unit was everything and more!!! The owner, an amazing lady!! If you are looking for place in Wilmington, look no further. Inspired all of us to want to move to Wilmington!! Location, excellent. Did not have to rent a car. Very walkable. Took Uber once to specialty store to get items to make Southern cooking at home!
