About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beautifully restored home in Wilmington Historic District with pool

Enjoy the charm of this historic cottage home. Located among the many attractions of downtown and within an easy drive to the beaches, this historic yet modern home makes for the perfect spot to enjoy everything Wilmington has to offer. And if you just want to escape and relax, you have private access to the beautiful pool oasis right outside your back door. (The pool is not heated and generally too cold to be in from late September through mid-May, but the pool remains open and the pool area can be enjoyed year round.)

The historic but completely renovated home includes a comfortable living room, a dining room that seats eight, a well-equipped kitchen, and a large back deck. The two bedrooms each have their own en suite bathrooms with walk-in showers. Additional sleeping is available on the fold-out sofa in the living room. The front porch, deck, courtyard, and private pool areas offer great outdoor space for enjoying coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening, as well as a great place to soak up the sun or lounge in the shade!

All of historic downtown Wilmington is an easy walk from the house. There is off-street parking for two vehicles. All linens and towels are provided, including pool and beach towels.

This home is not only in a prime location to enjoy Wilmington, but has everything you need to make for a relaxing getaway!

Because of the outdoor space, guests often want to invite others over to join them. Small gatherings are permitted, but we ask that you inform us first if anyone not staying at the house is coming over. The house is in a residential neighborhood and we ask that our guests be courteous of our neighbors. Therefore, we don’t allow groups of more than 12 and ask hosts to monitor noise levels, particularly after 9:00pm.

Please note that we are no longer able to accommodate pets in our home.

We live right next door to the property, so if you have any needs or questions while you are staying, we are very easy to reach.
Our customers tell us that they can't get enough of the pool at this holiday home. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Thalian Hall Center for the Performing Arts. You'll find features such as an outdoor pool and laundry facilities. Enjoy your stay with amenities like a private pool and a kitchen in the holiday home.
  • Air-conditioned home with private pool, kitchen and washing machine
  • Take a swim in the outdoor pool
  • Amenities include laundry facilities
  • Guests have great things to say about the area's walkability and the helpful staff
  • 11 minutes by foot from Riverwalk and a 3-minute drive from Live Oak Bank Pavilion

Return stay reminded us why we love this place!

Returning back to this beautifully restored home for another relaxing week in Wilmington. Stayed at the pool to relax, made the short trip to the riverfront for food, shopping and entertainment. The hosts go out of their way to ensure a great experience.

3 night runaway

Another great stay in Wilmington. We found this beautiful house a couple years ago and it seems to never disappoint. The house is so well appointed, comfortable and has all the amenities needed for a great weekend. Add a great resort style pool setting and it’s the perfect runaway location. Another great stay!

This is my favorite place to stay on the East Coast. The house has historic charm mixed with modern appliances and fixtures. The elegant decorations are the perfect touch to make it feel coastal but not “beachy.” The backyard/pool/cabana is the perfect hidden oasis for daytime fun and evening relaxation. The hosts are amazing and super responsive. 10/10 would recommend!
