We are here when you need us and invisible when you don't. Ada prides herself on speedy replies. We're here for you if you need us.

This condo is located in arguably the nicest block of Old Wilmington's historic mansion district. The architecture around the neighborhood is stunning, with mansions and large single family homes. Treat yourself to downtown's finest.

If you walk out the front door onto Front Street, you'll see the glamorous Dudley Mansion from 1825, a stunning 10,000 sq ft estate that was home to North Carolina's first Governor. If you walk out the back door and down the quaint alley driveway to 2nd Street, you'll see block after block of gorgeous Victorian homes. If you love old houses and turn of the century architecture, be sure to make some time to take it in!

Just walk!!! You're very close to restaurants, shopping, nightlife, entertainment, the waterfront and riverwalk, museums, and ghost tours!

Uber's are everywhere!
The trolley is free and drives by.
Free parking means you can come and go as you like.

Located less than a half hour drive from either Carolina Beach or Wrightsville Beach.

Parking:
-Free parking behind the house: You have one (1) free parking spot! The alley entrance to the parking area is 9 feet wide. That means you cannot fit a large work van or a big work truck and trailers are not allowed.

If your truck is too big, or you need more than one space we can get you a parking pass.

Really enjoyed our stay in Wilmington. This was our second time staying in this house (different unit). Love the River Walk area. Our space was very nice and updated. The bed was very comfortable. The welcome basket was a pleasant touch. Would visit again.

Great property in a great location. Close to River Front, restaurants and bars. Our apartment was on the front of the house right off the busy street so it was a little noisy at night. Parking in back of house was nice Only negative, is we tried to communicate with the owners on two occasions with no reply from them.

Perfect downtown spot

Fredonia is the perfect spot to stay in downtown Wilmington! The apartment is clean and updated but still maintains the feel of old Wilmington in a historic mid-19th century home. Parking is off street and easy. Walk to everything. The owners were very accomodating as well as I left some things in at check out and they promptly shipped them back to me! Would definitely recommend and come back!

Levity from freshman orientation

Adorable place,Great location

We stayed here for one night in March. We loved the location and the space in the place. It was a great time! My only hiccup was I thought I had booked for 2 nights, not 1 and when I called and sent text messages inquiring about adding an additional night, I never received a response or anything from the host. The phone number went to a machine in a different language, not sure if the posted number was not correct, but we found somewhere else to stay, would have been nice to hear something back.

Good location; nice space; off street parking!

Our initial difficulty in finding the on-site parking and our specific unit was quickly resolved with a phone call to the host. The apartment is spacious - great for two - and is clean and comfortably furnished. The bedroom faces the street, which has more traffic than we expected but quieted down by 11. Upstairs neighbors walking back and forth were quite audible but they, like the traffic, quieted down at a reasonable hour. Proximity to the riverwalk and downtown combined with the off-street parking are huge pluses. All in all, this place is a great value.

Mother-Daughter Getaway

We enjoyed our stay in the historical home and neighborhood. The You Tube video helped us to find the parking area and was very helpful! We were pleased with the unit overall! The street traffic was loud at night since the bedroom faces Front Street. For appearance, I would suggest repainting the pots on the porch and updating the flowers (all the winter flowers have died and are still there). Also, in the back of the property the walkway is green and could be pressure washed. This may also help with slick surfaces when it rains. Thank you.

The place was just as described, clean and decorated nicely. The owners left amenities like soaps, coffee and ear plugs which were needed because you're right on front Street so you can hear the traffic. The location was really great! We walked to most places and the places we drove to didn't take that long to get to. We would definitely stay again!

Very Clean, and great location.

I would recommend staying here if you are visiting Wilmington and want to be able to walk around town. Location was walking distance to all things downtown. The apartment was very clean and had everything you need, very well stocked. The only thing to think about if renting here is that the bedroom is located in the front of the house, and the traffic can be a little loud at times. Bring a sound machine and eye mask cover the room does not get dark due to lights outside. Otherwise perfect place to be able to enjoy the town.
