Beautiful Spot in the heart of Downtown Wilmington!

We had a great time on our visit to Wilmy! It was so nice to watch the river each evening and again in the morning with our coffee. The condo is perfect. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay.

Everything was great. Only draw back is no onsite parking. We had to park two blocks away in a parking garage. Stop pick up pass then park car. Then go get car and come back to leave the pass. Not convenient. . .

Riverfront Downtown Wilmington Stay

This is a wonderful place to stay in downtown Wilmington! It is located in the heart of downtown with so many things to see and do. This place was perfect for my little family with a great view of the Cape Fear River and the Battleship. We will definitely stay here again.

Perfect stay for us

We were just down for 1 night for a concert. It was great. My only complaint was there was a lot of noise outside late… skateboarders at 1:30am and loud music… other than that, it was lovely

Location, Location, Location

The location of this riverfront property is ideal. We have stayed in this area often over the last 10 years or so. The views are amazing, we enjoy the Farmer's mkt, being able to walk to everything. This property is well appointed. New policy of the HOA is that netting be placed on the balcony due to pigeons, it impedes the view somewhat & was disappointing but this is a great property. Highly recommend

Terrific View!

Perfect spot for a getaway for us. We went Sunday & Monday nights & it worked out great, as Sunday was very busy around town but Monday much less crowded. High floor in building made it more quiet, too. Kitchen very well equipped. Great view of the river and battleship. Be careful while unloading/loading car as they are very strict with the rules. Took a long time to get security deposit back - the only real downside. Overall we would recommend this property.

Uncomfortable

The net over the patio was such a turn off. You didn't want to sit out there because of the way it looked. The couch was so uncomfortable that it was very hard to watch TV. I glad we only stayed one night.

Perfect property with stunning views

My husband and I did a weekend getaway at this property, and it was absolutely perfect! The place was clean and nicely decorated. But the main clincher was the unbelievably gorgeous view from the balcony! My husband and I spent a lot of time sitting on the balcony, looking at the battleship and the sunsets and the boats on the river. The brilliant relaxation we needed. My husband and I did not need our car any of the time as we were within walking distance to absolutely everything we needed. So glad we landed on this place via VRBO!!
