The historical charm of Nana's nest
Charming one and 1/2 bedroom apartment located in historic downtown Wilmington. Romantic master bedroom with comfy pillows, and down comforter, decorated for the holidays.

Conveniently located near great locally owned businesses and restaurants, many within walking distance. This is a great place to stay for the holidays or a weekend getaway. Located directly on the parade route for WHS Homecoming and Holidazzle and next door to the Saturday farmers' market and many great festivals and events in downtown Wilmington. Also near Wilmington College, Southern State, Cowan Lake, Caesar's Creek, and the World Equestrian Center. Kings Island and Prime Outlets are a short 30-minute drive.

We had a great time. It was a perfect place for us to hang out with my teenage daughter's friend who is a local. We enjoyed just chilling and relaxing after a day at the Newport Aquarium. Would stay again. We want to try Papsy's ice cream.

This is one of my new favorites for VRBO. Perfect for three guests. I love the ice cream shop below the apartment. Very clean and cozy.
Great location. Older building but roomy. Hosts were easy to contact, and check-in and check-out was a breeze. Some street noise but not too bad. Appliances were good. Will stay again.
We were here for the horse show. Close, easy to get to. Having a kitchen was a real plus for us. Even though things were going on downtown, the apartment was plenty quiet .
Lovely apartment with everything we could need. We stayed one night and the place was clean, the bed was comfortable and the living room was very nice. It rained quite a bit so we spent more time than we intended inside. We were glad for the lovely space. The place is right in town, and thankfully the town was very quiet after dark. We rested well.
The apartment is very roomy and comfortable. And very convenient for activities in Wilmington area. Only suggestion would be it needs a snow shovel, basic salt and pepper, and a personal preference would be darkening curtains for the bedroom. We definitely hope to stay here again.
My husband and I travel frequently and always use VRBO. This has been my absolute stay ever. The house is so cute and comfortable! The neighborhood is so clean and everyone is so friendly. We enjoyed the stay so much that my husband has started looking at houses for sale!!!! ❤️

Cozy but outdated
It was easy to find and get inside. It is very oudated and could clean the place better. No hot water in kitchen sink. Bed was comfy and was pretty quiet there. It was ok since we inly stayed 2 nights.
We love old houses and loved staying here. Any old house quirks were charming and not uncomfortable in the slightest. Beds were comfy. Lots of extra comforts provided (coffee and creamer, robe, etc). I LOVED that one of the twin beds was set up in the living room right off the bedroom. My toddler was happy to sleep in it because she could see us, but it was far enough away that our phones and lights didn't bother her. We attend the Ren Faire every year and will stay here each time we come! Was about 15 min from the faire (Also lots of fun restaurants and little shops near the house.)
We had a great experience. Our host was very timely in answering questions. Everything was very clean and the bed was so comfortable! If/when we are back in the area we will definitely stay here!

The loft was great! We always feel comfortable and like we are at home when we stay here. We be back again!
The apartment space was clever, creative and fun. We loved it! A great walk in the morning on the streets of Wilmington. We want to return to the town and check out some shops when we have more time!
We had the pleasure of meeting the owner who is absolutely delightful! Nothing was more welcome after VERY hot days then coming home to the cool apartment. Its quirky and cute!

charming rooms
Charming rooms however the steps and entry were lacking. Very rickety steps and small landing made the entry bordering on dangerous.
Was clean and adequately supplied. Icemaker did not work. Every floor is on a different level. WATCH YOUR STEP! If you are over 5 ft tall, WATCH YOUR HEAD going up the second set of steps inside.

This was our second stay at Nana's Nest . The area is surrounded by great shops and activities that are fun for the whole family. Our family Loved this apartment, which was clean, safe and filled with all amenities that any person would need.. Tara and her family made us feel comfortable, and right at home when we arrived. We were able to visit our family and return to the apartment and prepare our meals and rest easily each night we returned . We have already booked for our next trip!
