Our stay was just as expected - it is very clean, well appointed and very comfortable. The host was extremely helpful and responsive. Having a parking pass included was great and the parking lot was just a block away. The location is wonderful - we were able to walk to everything in the downtown area. The patio overlooking the riverfront was a great place to people watch and take in the scenery. Thank you for a wonderful visit; we will definitely be back!

This place was absolutely wonderful and truly surpassed what we were hoping for. It was incredibly convenient to be within walking distance of so many fantastic dining options. The entire space was remarkably clean, which always makes for a more enjoyable stay. We were also treated to an absolutely breathtaking sunset view every evening. The host was also quite welcoming and helpful throughout our visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend it to others. It's rare to find accommodations that tick all the boxes so perfectly. We're already looking forward to a potential return trip! Ideal parking is included.

This will be my Wilmington Vrbo for all future visits. The place was absolutely immaculate; identical to the pictures. The location was incredible; quiet at night but just steps from everything. Carole is the best host; so accommodating, and she really has thought of every detail to make guests feel at home. 10/10!!

What a truly wonderful stay we had at Carole’s little paradise, Riverwalk on Water! Beautifully and tastefully appointed from top to bottom, a well equipped kitchen, free parking, and a super responsive and helpful host! We have found our Wilmington retreat! Some of the best moments of our getaway were sitting on the patio watching people, puppies and spectacular sunsets! Honestly can’t say enough about this special place
Sunset our first night—breathtaking
Looking down Riverwalk from the patio. Captain Cocktail only 3 doors down
A little alligator that lives along the Riverwalk. We so enjoyed seeing it living its best life, soaking in the sun 😊

Riverwalk on Water was everything we’d hoped for and then some. Extremely clean, very responsive host (although we didn’t need anything, but she reached out to check on us and assured us to call if we needed anything at all)We walked everywhere (plenty of restaurants and shops)except to Wrightsville beach, and across the bridge to the battleship.

Carole and Terry Sheffield live nearby in Wilmington where Carole works as a Real Estate Broker with BlueCoast Realty Corp. and Terry works from home in Finance. They love living in the Carolina's and enjoy boating, beaches and Historic Downtown Wilmington.

Why they chose this property

The first time we came to Wilmington in 2010, we fell in love. At that time, the Riverwalk was quaint and small and as we strolled down its path we came upon these cute yellow cottage buildings and said to each other " Wouldn't it be so cool to own a piece of this iconic Riverwalk"? Well fast forward to 2022, 224 S. Water St. 1C came up for sale and the rest is history. We absolutely love this little condo and all it has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Charming cottage condo located directly on the iconic Cape Fear Riverwalk.
