About this apartment rental
Welcome to The Historic Gem!
A private 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment in an 1889 historic triplex in downtown Wilmington's coveted Historic District. Fully renovated with all modern amenities — fully stocked kitchen, 55" Smart TV, in-unit washer/dryer, central AC/heat, and complimentary coffee and tea — just a 10-minute walk from the Riverwalk and downtown dining.
One of three private apartments in the Cummings-Taylor House, a landmarked cobblestone-street Victorian that has been meticulously restored to honor its 130+ year history.
The Space:
• Private ground-floor apartment in an 1889 historic triplex — your own entrance, your own space
• 2 bedrooms — both with queen beds and fresh, quality linens
• 1 full bathroom with tub/shower combo
• Fully stocked kitchen — appliances, cookware, and everything you need for a real meal
• Complimentary coffee and tea provided to start your mornings right
• In-unit washer and dryer
• 55" Smart TV — log into your streaming services and settle in
• Dedicated desk — perfect for remote work or planning your next day out
• Central AC and heat
• High-speed WiFi throughout
• Charming front porch on a cobblestone street in the Historic District
• Free on-street parking directly outside
• 10-minute walk to the Riverwalk, downtown dining, bars, boutiques, and live music
A few things to know before you arrive:
• The Historic Gem is one of three apartments in a historic triplex — you may occasionally hear light sounds from neighboring units, as you would in any well-loved old building. It's part of the charm.
• The person who made the reservation must be present for the duration of the stay.
• No parties or events. We're in a residential historic neighborhood, and our neighbors (and the building) deserve respect.
• No smoking indoors. The porch is yours.
• Care of the home: The Historic Gem is professionally maintained to a standard we're genuinely proud of. To preserve the quality of the linens, surfaces, and finishes, we ask that guests refrain from using bleach-based cleaning products during their stay — our team handles all deep cleaning between guests. We also ask that incense, essential oil diffusers, and similar fragrance items be left at home; they can be difficult to clear before the next guests arrive and may affect those with sensitivities.
• Please bring personal toiletries — we provide the essentials to get you started, but plan to supplement for longer stays.
• Interested in booking the whole house for a larger group? The other two apartments are listed separately under our profile — reach out and we can help coordinate.
• No pets are allowed.
• A rental agreement is required prior to check-in. We'll send it ahead of your arrival — concise, clear, and in place to protect both parties.
