Highly recommend this gem 🦋✨
Absolutely loved our stay at this charming one-bedroom in historic Wilmington! The location is simply unbeatable—just four blocks from the beautiful riverfront, making it easy to enjoy lovely walks and fantastic dining options. Nestled in a wonderful neighborhood, the area felt safe and welcoming throughout our stay. The hosts were exceptionally wonderful, going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Their hospitality truly made our experience memorable. The unit itself was immaculate, well-stocked with all the essentials, and perfectly cozy. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to call home during our visit. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking to explore Wilmington. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back!

Awesome VRBO in great location!
This is my new go to stay when in Wilmington. I travel here for work and this is such a great place to stay over the local hotels. Clean and all the amenities of home. Quiet and private. Plus you can walk to a lot of the downtown scene. After the first night, I booked it again for my next visit. Highly recommend!

Trip to Wilmington for a concert at Live Oak
The property is pristine. The owners have thought of all the necessary details to make the apartment comfortable, inviting and welcoming. Wayne and Bobby are also two of the kindest people and very willing to help out in emergencies which we experienced while in Wilmington. Thanks so very much to two wonderful people!! Richard and Teri

Butterfly Hideaway is WONDERFUL!
My husband and I don't get away much with two toddlers at home but we came to Wilmington last weekend for a wedding. Never having been there before, we did not know too much about the town. Bobby and Wayne were phenomenal hosts. Their welcome package had ALL of the information you could ever need about the area. We kept going back to it like a good book! The place itself was immaculate. My husband kept saying "They have thought of everything for this place!" And they truly have. Perfect location. Perfect scenery. Perfectly quiet, much different than our life at home haha! We loved it so much and absolutely will be back! Oh my goodness, I also must add that when I was securing this reservation - I did not realize that I was logged into an old VRBO account with an email I can no longer access. I called VRBO and reached out to Wayne, he was on the phone with them for I don't even know how long but got them to switch my reservation over to this new email without having to cancel, wait for a refund and then secure it under the right account. Truly an angel. Thank you so much for having us Bobby and Wayne! You have created something beautiful and we are so lucky you shared it with us. Stay here, you won't regret it!

Great Place and area!!
The place is really cute and was very well appointed and clean. It is in a safe historic area and easy walk to a coffee house and breakfast places. Wayne welcomed us warmly and was available if we needed any help or info. Otherwise it was a very private separate carriage house from the main house. Our only suggestion is a small step to help get into the bed which is high for short people : )
