We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Great location. Apartment was 5 minute walk to downtown and short drive to beaches and attractions. Kitchen and bathroom was well stocked with all necessities. Adam communicated well and made check-in extremely easy. Bedroom and living area were comfortable. This was the perfect place for our short weekend getaway to Wilmington.

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! I’m glad to hear you thoroughly enjoyed your stay and that Third & Oak made your short weekend getaway to Wilmington feel easy, comfortable, and well-located.
I truly appreciate how well you cared for the suite. I’m also happy the location worked so well for you — being able to walk downtown in just a few minutes while still having quick access to the beaches and local attractions is one of the things that makes this property such a great home base.
I’m glad the check-in process was smooth, communication was helpful, and the kitchen and bathroom had what you needed. We put a lot of care into those details because they can make the difference between a place that simply works and a stay that feels genuinely effortless.
I would be grateful to host you again anytime. Wilmington has a way of turning one weekend trip into “we need to come back,” and when that happens, I hope Third & Oak is the place you’ll want to return to. Thank you again for staying with us and for being such a wonderful guest!
The Downtown Loft was absolutely perfect! Adam was more than accommodating with our stay. There was water and snacks as soon as we arrived. I have never had that with any other Vrbo stays. The place was exactly as it’s pictured in the listing, even more charming in person! Very clean and plenty of towels, supplies, toiletries, etc. I cant say enough about how much I enjoyed my stay here. Walking distance to downtown, a couple blocks from Cape Fear River. Felt like home… I would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking to visit downtown Wilmington, NC. Thank you so much Adam!!

Why they chose this property
We chose historic downtown Wilmington because it has so much personality! You can walk to the Riverwalk, restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and local spots that make the city feel lively and fun. What we love most is that it feels both energetic and full of character. It gives guests the chance to really experience downtown Wilmington instead of just passing through it.
What makes this property unique
What makes Third & Oak special is the combination of location, character, and the way the property is set up. It’s in the heart of downtown, with a private parking lot, which is a rare amenity, but it also has a feel that is very different from a generic rental. Each suite at Third & Oak has its own personality, and we put care into making sure guests have a comfortable, thoughtful experience from arrival to checkout.
