Historic home in downtown Wilmington, NC
Historic charm without the crazy price. Only one block from downtown Wilmington, NC. Walk the river front and visit the many privately owned shops and restaurants of every imaginable kind. Visit museums or numerous historic sites dating back before the revolutionary war. You can also ride the various trolleys or horse drawn carriages. Maybe the famous ghost tour is more to your liking. Several beaches within 15 to 30 minutes. The downtown area is very supportive of our four legged friends.There is a little bit of everything for everyone. You can even do nothing at all and enjoy porch living at it's finest right at home.

Summer family getaway
We had the best time over Father’s Day weekend. This house is so charming with plenty of space and the best location. It was so easy to walk to downtown to enjoy the breweries and the Riverwalk.
Brian, the host, is super responsive and the house was well stocked with everything from towels to dishes and cook wear. Thanks for a wonderful vacation spot.

Family get away
Great location, very old home with history. Plenty of space. The owner checked in with us to make sure everything was ok and to see if we needed anything. If you like to walk and explore this home is right in downtown. We would stay here again if we come back to this area.

Wilmington Wedding
The property made the weekend. Great communication with the host, house was stocked with all essentials. The patio, porch, and parking was a great benefit to the property. Walking distance to all you would need for a vacation. Very pleased with all the accommodations and would strongly recommend this house to everyone.
Fantastic historic home to experience! The owner was great with communication and was very gracious! Location was very convenient to walking near waterfront or exploring the neighborhood of other beautiful homes. Cannot think of a better place for the value.

Great property
Four guys on a golfing trip from the uk. We all had our own bedroom and bathroom. Absolutely ideal for our trip. Easy walking distance to the old town bars and restaurants. Good parking facility around the back plus on road was available sometimes. Would definitely stay again. Host Brian was available via messaging, he quickly fixed a minor problem that we had with a wc. Excellent service.

Wonderful location
This was our second stay at this property. We stay because it’s a cool old house with 4 bedrooms that allows dogs bigger than your hand. There are only two of us, but we paid more for a tiny one bedroom farther away from town than this one. We walk to the riverfront every day. The elegant old houses are beautiful and it’s a really nice and pretty short walk. The courtyard is great for the dog, the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you’d need and the tv even has all the paid channels. They also don’t expect you to jump through hoops cleaning everything in the house even though you are paying a cleaning fee. There is a reason for the high rating on this property!

St. James Inn
We stayed here for my son's wedding which was being held near the waterfront of downtown Wilmington. The home was nice and comfortable with plenty of room inside. We chose to stay here due to it being within walking distance of the rehearsal, wedding venue and restaurants downtown. Brian was a great host and responded to all questions or concerns timely and fixed issues if needed. The driveway to the parking area behind the house is a little tight if you drive a full size vehicle (Chevy Silverado z71, GMC Yucon XL Denali) but they will fit through there. There is also parking on the street in front of house. Overall this was a great place to stay and be able to walk to about anywhere downtown you like. Thanks to Brian for being a great host and we would definitely stay here again if we are back in the Wilmington area!
