Perfect Weekend Getaway

Everything was perfect about this stay. Kirby was super attentive to any questions we had and even provided great suggestions on places to go out to eat in the area. The place was clean and comfortable, even the neighbors in the area were pleasant. We planned on being out and about most of the time so this provided us with just enough space to enjoy ourselves. You couldn’t ask for a more convenient location to everything in the downtown Wilmington area. 10/10 recommend and we will be back for sure! Thank you for a great stay!

Just ok

The gate to the property was broken. The room next door was under construction so we had to ask them limit their work times so we didn't have to listen to the work. Most of th utensils needed to be cleaned. There was hair in the shower, and dirty towels on the washer. Location was the best thing.

Great spot for waterfront access. It was easy to come and go while exploring Wilmington. Also, secluded and peaceful at night when you wanted to relax. Only small drawback was there wasn't much natural light and it made the apartment dark throughout the day. The host was very organized and made sure we were fully accommodated.

Location!

We decided to explore Wilmington after a work trip in Durham. The goal was to explore some history and see the ICH. This studio was the perfect launching pad for these activities, and we would stay here again. The unit had everything we needed, it stayed cool, and the bed was comfortable. The location (near the south end of the riverwalk) was a great quiet spot in between some popular areas of Front St/Riverwalk. Checking in and out was very simple, the instructions provided were spot on. We walked all around the historic district, taking in the sites and doing a couple of tours. We also took a full day to explore some of the coast. We drove down to Kure Beach and went to Fort Fisher, had lunch at Sunny Daze on Carolina Beach, and walked the pier at Wrightsville Beach. Great quick trip!

We loved this property! the studio was perfect size for the two of us and it was comfortable and clean. The location is perfect for exploring the Riverwalk and everything it has to offer. Yet it is also close enough to take short drives to other locations. Plenty of parking .Thanks for accommodating the changes in our itinerary that was much appreciated.

About the host

Hosted by Kirby Keene

Host profile image
We moved to Wilmington in 2005 from Kernersville NC. We have really grown to love the Wilmington area. It is an awesome place to visit, BUT, better place to live!

Why they chose this property

When we first moved to Wilmington we lived downtown. We absolutely loved the downtown area and what it has to offer. You can enjoy the riverwalk, live music, live shows, great art, dinner cruises and many wonderful restaurants. This property is only 10 - 15 minutes to local beaches.
