zDowntown Wilmington | Pet-Friendly Home + Firepit

This charming, historic home had more than enough space for our family of 5. The bedrooms are nicely sized, the beds are comfortable, and the space was clean. We loved the close proximity to downtown and the river (a pleasant walk to each), and enjoyed both a morning coffee and an evening beer on the lovely front porch most days. The kitchen is well-equipped, and while counter space is tight, it’s possible to prepare simple meals in the space. Coffee, cream and sugar were generously provided. The home sits at the end of a very quaint and lovely block, and is separated from a busier road by an open lot/community garden. There are quite a few excellent restaurants, coffee shops and cool vintage stores just around the corner. There is a large, fenced back yard, which was not inviting due to lack of maintenance during our stay. In the heat of summer, the home A/C system struggles to keep up. Despite its mighty efforts, the upstairs (where all of the bedrooms are located) was quite warm and humid for our stay in July. This is a historic home that comes with all of the charm and the challenges of an older property. If you’re looking for a cute spot with plenty of character that allows you to walk to a lot of amenities, this home is a great choice. If you’re looking for a more “sanitized” experience with all of the comforts of a more modern home, this might not be your spot.

We traveled to run the Wilmington marathon so we were looking for convenience and comfort and we got both of those in this place! The beds were clean and comfortable, and the location was great.

Awesome house, big yard, easy walk to downtown, host very responsive and helpful. We will be back!

What a great house for a family getaway! Close to downtown, comfortable and the music theme was excellent!
