Heart of Downtown - Front/Market Street

Welcome to Momentum Loft!

Our second floor condo overlooks the hustle & bustle of a busy and vibrant downtown Wilmington. Located in the busy intersection of Front and Market Street, the condo is footsteps away from shopping, dining, entertainment and attractions. Our location is a convenient stroll down the Riverwalk to Live Oak Bank Pavilion, Wilmington Convention Center and downtown wedding venues. Our block boasts storefront shopping full of retail, restaurants, deserts, and even an Irish Pub next door.

Our guests can expect the usual city noise. There are no clubs on this section of the block that play loud bass through the night. The Irish Pub next door does have 2 outdoors speakers that play music at a tolerable level until 2am. The living room is in the front of the condo to enjoy a bird’s eye view of what’s happening on the streets below. The bedroom is in the back of the unit eliminating a significant amount of the street noise.

Once you get downtown you don’t need your car anymore because you can walk everywhere. Our guests usually park in the City of Wilmington’s Market Street Parking Deck (behind the buildings across the street). The parking deck is pay by the hour or 14.00 all day if you don’t leave the deck. We offer premium parking in our private space on the ground level with unlimited exit/entry for 15.00 a day. It’s not included in the price of the stay because half of our guests travel to Wilmington by air and don’t need parking. If you are interested in premium parking, just let us know after you book. We will also ask when we send the check-in information on the morning of your stay.

Have an amazing time in Wilmington!

Downtown getaway

The momentum loft is a great downtown spot to stay if you are interested in an easy walk to all things Downtown Wilmington. Great riverfront access, restaurants, nightlife, and just a short drive to Wrightsville Beach. Would definitely stay again.

In the heart of downtown

We loved pretty much everything about this place! The location is exactly where we wanted to be, with the ability to step out the door into the downtown nightlife. The place is clean, comfortable, and well-apppointed. Our only (very) minor quibble is there was no way to get/make ice inside the unit. There is some noise from the street below, but it really wasn’t enough to bother us, even on a busy holiday weekend. We will definitely be staying here again!

Perfect location

This was perfect for our "sister weekend stay". Right in the downtown area to access shopping and food. Not a full kitchen but perfect to have coffee, a piece of toast to start your day. Well worth the 10.oo a day parking pass. Very easy check in and check out. Owner is very responsive.

4th of July in Wilmington

Our two night stay was tremendous. Hunter & Misti were great as hosts. One block from the Cape Fear. Within walking distance to anything downtown. The room was cozy & comfortable. The noise from the bars was not bad. Can be a bit noisy if lots of people on the street outside using their outside voices. We would definitely stay again.

Best Wilmington Stay!

This apartment is in the dead center of historic Wilmington and was a PERFECT location! There are endless restaurants, coffee shops, sightseeing, and retail stores within a mile walk of the apartment. We stayed here to see a concert at Live Oak and it was only a short mile walk (all flat) to the amphitheater. You can hear quiet bar music from the bedroom, but with a small fan (provided in the unit) it was no problem at all. Parking was a breeze as well which is a plus for Wilmington. The hosts own a distillery near by so we enjoyed some tastings and took home a few bottles as well. We will definitely stay here again!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

My husband was unable to come with me to a wedding this past weekend, so I asked my mom to come. We had the best girls weekend at Misti and Hunter‘s loft! The ambience is very cool, from the exposed brick and the surfboards on the wall, to the location, smack dab in the middle of the downtown action. Their loft has a very rustic, beachy vibe with a lot of character. The Irish bar downstairs is a little loud, but it didn’t bother us much. One suggestion I could make is maybe bring a sound machine, but we played a box fan on our phone and it was fine. It would be so convenient for a young couple visiting the bar downstairs and then just walking right upstairs afterwards. Hunter and Misty made it so easy to check in and check out. Definitely pay for the premium parking spot. It is directly across the street! It is way easier than trying to find a parking spot. My husband and I are already thinking about when we’re going to come back. Thanks again!

Girls Weekend Trip!

Great place!! I’ll start by saying the location of this place is unmatched!! If you want to be in the best part of the historic downtown near all of the best shops, restaurants, bars, AND one block from the Riverwalk AND affordable… this is your best bet. We couldn’t believe how great the location was. We pretty much never had to move our car.It’s not a super fancy setup or modern; but it’s charming. If you aren’t planning on spending a lot of time at the place you’re staying this is a great option. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Pros: it’s clean, has a cozy charm with the brick wall and big windows, a comfortable bed, has a mini fridge & microwave, TV, you can see all of the action happening down below on the Main Street from the big windows (people didn’t ever look up so I still felt like there was good privacy), the check-in and out process was super simple and easy, the air conditioning worked great and there’s a ceiling fan, and we could walk literally anywhere we wanted to go. Also, very responsive and kind host!Cons: Just the noise at night. If you are a light sleeper, this place is literally where all of the downtown bars and restaurants are, so if that’s not your scene then I’d find another option. It was perfect for us because we wanted to be near the nightlife, but it was very noisy at night so the point where it woke me up a few times. I just used white noise and ear plugs and then I was fine.Overall a great place for a short weekend!
