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.

We had a great little trip to Historic Wilmington. The room is just what we needed! Excellent accommodations and within walking to everything we wanted to do!
We wanted to be close to the river and restaurants in Wilmington this was a great location. We took a couple of day trips from this location which was easy to get on the beach hwys from the VRBO.
This rental was perfect! It was beautifully decorated, clean and roomier than we expected. The location was so convenient to the Riverwalk and all of the restaurants and bars downtown. The instructions for parking made it so easy! Everything about this gem made our stay enjoyable!
There was plenty of room for my husband and I. Full kitchen was very helpful! Parking at rear was convenient. Easy check in/out process and very clean! Would definitely stay there again!
This was a last minute find and it was absolutely perfect! Very clean and beautiful house. It’s very close to everything. We would definitely stay here again!
The home was very charming. It was exactly as described. The location was in short walking distance from local shops and restaurants.
The neighborhood was safe, we felt at ease walking the area.
Very nice accommodation in a beautiful historic house. Plenty of space. High quality amenities. Off street parking was very convenient. Area was safe and a pleasant, short walk to the downtown area, where there are plenty of great shops and restaurants. Riverwalk is also close by. Great communication by the owners made check in and out very easy. Highly recommended spot.
It was perfect a location. We walked to town and church. Also not far from my cousins who we were visiting. We found the perfect coffee shop, Hidden Grounds. Lots of yummy restaurants. Toured the SS North Carolina. Saw the beaches and South Port. The great porch was perfect for when we decided to have an off day & read. Thanks for a great time.
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.
The location of this VRBO is ideal for walking to the waterfront, even walking all the way to the end of town. fantastic access to restaurants and shopping. Yes front Street is a bit noisy on the weekends but we brought our Alexa to play white noise and some earplugs. Not a big deal. Our hosts provided fabulous detailed information about places to go in the area. A charming spot in a historic home on front street!
We had a wonderful stay at Fredonia and Front. The condo was beautiful. We stayed in 3B and it was a great size with a large living room/ kitchen area, a huge bedroom and good-sized bathroom. The location was great to walk to everything in the historic district. Check in and communication was great and seamless We didn't spend a lot of time in the apartment since we were in town to explore Wilmington (we didn't need to cook anything) but it seemed well appointed and had everything we needed. I guess the best review is: we plan to stay here again when we come back to Wilmington.
Fredonia on Front is a quick walk to downtown and is in a beautiful historic neighborhood. It’s the perfect size for two. The unit is clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. The owners were very welcoming with the basket of goodies provided (including ear plugs), email to check up on our stay, and responded promptly to our request. The only negatives for me were the traffic noise and the bedroom blinds, but I am a light sleeper. My husband was just fine.
Curt and Ada have created a lovely space in a perfect location.
I was freaking out after leaving my son at UNCW freshman orientation. Curt responded to me quickly when I was at a loss following his specific parking and entry instructions.
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.
The property was excellent. It was a great location. We had a great time. The only negative I have was a problem where we parked. We didn’t notice until the last day but there were ants on our car. Not a massive amount just several. The parking area should be sprayed.
