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.

The number of pets allowed is limited to one well-behaved pet. 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.

Can't wait to go back
When we arrived, Chris met us at the door. Shortly after we met Matt. I cannot say enough about these two guys. Outstanding personalities. They made us feel like we owned the cottage. We were right at home including the back oasis with the saltwater pool and the Lanai. Water was pretty chilly, but it did not stop me from getting in. I could write a short book on our 4 days stay but you just got to check it out for yourself. We also loved the fact it's in the Historic district and is a documented home. Nothing like a hotel, I'll never stay in another hotel again. Dave & Linda

Best & most comfortable in stay in Wilmington!
Our stay was exceptional. The house, rooms, family room were the best we could have imagined. The furniture was very comfortable, great quality and a perfect match throughout the house. The bedrooms & bath were very clean, well lit and all the comforts of home. The pool and the pool area were amazing, clean, landscaped and so comfortable. Best stay ever!

This is a beautiful home. Chris and Matt thought of every amenity possible. It is a quiet neighborhood and in close proximity to the riverfront. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the fall.

Wonderful House
We loved this house! The interior is beautiful and the backyard pool is out of this world. You're a short drive to the beach and walking distance to restaurants and shopping. The hosts are so nice and checked in with us during our stay to see if we needed anything. I would stay here again!

Lovely home in the historic district
We spent a week here to get a break from winter. Loved the house, the front porch, the sunny backyard and deck, the neighborhood and easy walking distance to downtown and the river walk. Matt is very responsive and the home is beautifully decorated and furnished. Would go back in heartbeat!

Charming and Beautiful
Between us, my sister and I have rented many vacation houses over the years and we agree this is the best one ever. The furnishings are both exceptionally attractive and high quality. The kitchen has high-end appliances and everything you might need, including decent knives, which are rare in a rental. The host provides many extras, from a welcoming bottle of wine to TV streaming services, even boxes of tissues. We didn't have to buy the little things normally needed in a rental; they were there! The kitchen and bathrooms have been updated to modern standards without losing any of the charm of this lovely old house in a historic neighborhood. And the large backyard pool and patio, which we didn't use because it was too cool, would provide the amenities of a luxury resort in warm weather. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the house -- and seeing Wilmington. Altogether a great experience.

Perfect little rental!
This house was perfect for my husband and I, my parents, and our dog for the long weekend. Very clean and had all the amenities we could have wanted (the frother was the best part). Close to downtown. Thank you for sharing your home!
