This was by far one of the best rentals we’ve experienced!! Gordon aka Nick was very available when needed. We loved it so much that we decided to stay another night and Nick made it very easy! The condo itself is located in the best part of downtown and within walking distance to everything you could possibly need! If I could give more than 5 stars I would! We will definitely be back!!!!

I know this might seem like a small thing, but you need to upgrade the bath, hand, and face cloths. They appear to be old and grey and feel very scratchy.

Our stay was great! We were within walking distance to everything downtown. The view was gorgeous. The host was available to quickly answer any questions. We drove to Wrightsville beach for a day and to the Fort Fisher Aquarium and Carolina Beach on another day. The rest of the time, we hung out in downtown. I look forward to the next stay!

We had the best experience staying here and Gordon was quick to respond to any questions we had. The place was so clean and the bed and couch were very comfortable. We had everything we needed and it really is located in the perfect place downtown to walk to everything you could want- live music, great bars, yummy restaurants, quaint shopping. The view of Cape Fear from the balcony at sunset is worth the stay alone! Other reviewers commented on the noise so I wanted to address it- you will be hard pressed to find ANY condo or apartment in true downtown that isn’t loud. We have stayed at 4 different places and areas of downtown and they are all noisy. This place was actually quieter than two of the three where we have stayed before. It’s a bustling city! I do recommend bringing soft ear plugs if you struggle to sleep with intermittent noise. We will be back and I hope to stay in this condo again!

I loved it. Nice set up and very clean. Great view and location. Plenty of choices for dining and the river walk is right across the street. Much better choice than a hotel room.

Long weekend at beach for New years. So location was the biggest factor. Park you car and walk to everything. Close to all bars and restaurants. Parking was a issue. No parking pass with this specific rental. Parking is free on street after 630 pm to 9am and Sunday’s. Ended up moving car around. Parking in a garage near library for Saturday (10.00). Would take that into consideration when booking. Condo was dated but clean. Linens were laundered but had stains on them and towels also. Not uncommon for beach rentals. Bedroom is by elevator and it is noisy. Light comes through window but could be blocked by black out curtains (Didn’t really bother us) yes heat /air is also there. Probably not the best for light sleepers. Overall would rent again because of location. Some suggestions-black out curtains. Luggage rack. I’m sure it’s widely different to rent in winter vs summer. Thanks.

If you are looking for a partying night life on the weekends, Friday and Saturday, then this is a perfect location. Bar located directly behind the condo which the bedroom faces has live and loud music on their patio until 2am. Lotus Social Club. You can sit on the balcony and listen to the music. Also, the elevator is directly across from the bedroom and you can enjoy the very late night guest that are staying on the same floor. If you are looking for quiet and absolutely beautiful view then Sunday and the week days are for you. Make sure you bring a towel to hang over the window in the bedroom to block out the very bright light in the hallway. Communication with the owner is fantastic and he quickly fixed the AC unit that was not working when we arrived the next day. He truly cares about his guest and so helpful. Will come back again on a Sunday and stay for a couple of days during the week.

The view of the river, riverwalk and USS North Carolina at sunset were magnificent. Easy walk to shops and restaurants. We were in Wilmington for a wedding and this was perfect. Communication was excellent and directions easy to follow. Parking can be an issue, but it's free on the street from 6:30PM to 9AM. We had no problems.

We had a great time! Check in was easy. Loved the views & the large balcony. It was a very cozy space inside. Very clean. Main bed was comfy and liked that there was a sofa bed also. Nice that the door was located close to elevator. The Dollar General a few doors down was nice - to pick up last minute items that we needed. Great communication with Nick & nice instructions about wifi and trash posted on fridge. We walked a lot and got to see a lot of the Historic District of Wilmington. We even saw a star- Orlando Jones! Thanks Nick! We will visit again!

The location was very convenient to downtown historic Wilmington. Parking in the G**** St parking garage was convenient and cheap ($13 maximum a day). The balcony is very large and is perfectly faced to watch sunsets over the Cape Fear River. Nick was always extremely quick with responses from the booking phase to the check in phase. We will definitely stay here again when visiting Wilmington.

Love the Historic District

Love the Historic District

We usually stay at one of the beaches near Wilmington when we come to visit our Granddaughter. But the promise of a view of sunset on the river enticed us to try downtown Wilmington. We loved it! Sunsets were beautiful & we enjoyed watching all the action on the riverfront from the 8th floor balcony. We also enjoyed walking the historic district, admiring the beautiful old homes, & learning some history by reading the historical markers. The apartment was very comfortable! We will definitely rent it again!

Right downtown with a nice view of the river from the 8th floor. Perfect place for two. Communications with the host, Gordon (Nick), was very good. My only nit is the fact the air conditioning/heating unit was in the bedroom. Got used to it after a couple of days. Overall a good spot.

Looks are deceiving

Looks are deceiving

The condo was very convenient, but not very comfortable. I say that because the bed was the worst bed we've slept in almost ever. Very cheap saggy mattress. Extremely uncomfortable. Air exchanger right next to bed was extremely loud. Didn't sleep more than an hour all night. Left after 1st night and went somewhere else.
