Panoramic River View Downtown Condo W/Balcony

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing condo! Easy check in! Condo was extremely clean, spacious and had the most amazing view of Battleship NC & Cape Fear River. This was our first stay in Wilmington and we would definitely stay at this condo again. Parking garage was close by. You can walk to everything, restaurants were close by on the riverwalk."

Heart of Downtown Wilmington ILM - Sleeps 12! Sauna, walking distance to a lot.

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this property and the convenient location! Everything was as described and close to the things we wanted to do. I will note that this is a bustling city location and the nightlife can go until 2am. If you are seeking solitude or quiet before the bars close, this might not be it. If you are a heavy sleeper, on a girls/guys trip, there for the nightlife, or just want to be close to it all with amazing accommodations, then this place is absolutely perfect. The host was super easy to communicate with and very responsive."
