About this house rental

Solidly renovated 1866 Italianate House in the Historic District in the Downtown Wilmington neighborhood .Gorgeous old hardwood floors, footstep-worn thresholds, tiled fireplaces & time-shifted glass panes tell you this house has been here 150 years! Our 3 bedroom/2-bath/full-kitchen duplex is walking distance to anywhere downtown & short 17 minute drive to the beach! A very large backyard for hanging out.

Hello GUEST
We expect you around 5-6 PM but if this is not correct and you come later , let us know before your arrival.

We live on N.6th Street near the Princess St. intersection and the house is colored pale rose. Your entrance is on the left . Please call us 30 minutes before arrival so that we can arrange to meet you and give you the keys .The Doorknob in front is historic and decorative, please use Metal handle to push door open and be gentle with the old doors.

Great house in a wonderful location!

We were here for a quick weekend with our adult children. The house is beautifully decorated and the owners were wonderful to work with. It is walkable to downtown, but we used Uber some because of the heat. The beds were comfortable and we had amenities available in the kitchen and bathrooms. We would definitely rent again. The spiral staircase might be difficult for someone with mobility issues but there is an external strait staircase if needed.

Luca and Amy were so helpful. We had an unexpected family emergency and they went out of their way to make us feel at home as they prepared the home for our visit. I would highly recommend this home to people visiting with children and/or pets. I just can’t say enough about the beauty of this home!
