This is a lovely, historic home with everything you need for a great visit to Wilmington. Luca and Amy are incredibly thoughtful and accommodating hosts.
The location couldn’t be better. It’s walkable to downtown for coffee, shopping, drinks, ice cream, dinner, and the waterfront with amazing views and people watching. The neighborhood is so charming and far enough away from the noise of nightlife and bars. UNCW is an easy 10 minute drive. Wrightsville Beach is about 15 minutes away.

The locations is great, just a short walk to the main strip of downtown with other options even closer to the house.
The house was bigger than expected which was great for multiple people to work from the space. There were plenty of places to set up the home office. Wi-Fi signal was good if you are looking to log some work hours while you’re there.
Luca was overall very accommodating and I would recommended this spot for anyone looking to work and play in downtown Wilmy.

This historic property was perfect for our family trip that included 4 adults and 2 small children. Luca , the host couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating. This was our second time staying here and would highly recommend to others.

Planned a weekend getaway to see our son in Wilmington. Wanted a place to stay that was convenient and with some character. The CF house was charming, the hosts were friendly and inviting, the location was ideal. Only negative is that parking is on street only and not reserved, meaning you might have to walk up the street a bit to your car. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.

Three friends from work stayed to visit one’s daughter who’s in school in Wilmington! Great historic house. We’ll maintained! Super convenient backyard for kids or just adults hanging out around the fire pit! Only negative is 3rd bed is a futon & not very comfortable. Other 2 rooms are fantastic! Owner is very kind & offered to assist if we had any needs! Would definitely stay again! ❤️

Fabulous all around experience!

We were in town for a wedding, and wanted a place walking distance to the wedding shuttle/downtown activities that could accommodate us all. Luca was very communicative and transparent throughout the process and answered any questions I had. We had a great stay and would recommend if you're heading to Wilmington with a group! Very nice neighborhood

This is a charming, historic home near downtown Wilmington. It is walkable to all the restaurants, breweries and shops in downtown Wilmington, and also to Live Oak Bank Pavilion (15-20 minute walk). It’s also an easy drive to see the USS North Carolina or to hit the beach. Amy and Luca are gracious hosts who are easy to communicate with. They have provided some nice touches to make traveling easier – sheets, towels, dish soap, laundry detergent, coffee pods, etc. The WiFi worked great. As the listing says, the 3rd bedroom in the back is only accessible through another bedroom; this wasn’t an issue for us on a short stay.

We were traveling to Wilmington for a wedding and were fortunate to stay at this house. It was exactly what we needed. The house is split into a duplex with the owner and his wife living in the south side of the house completely separated from the north side. We had a small puppy and felt very comfortable in the neighborhood taking her out for walks. Not sure which bedroom would be considered the main bedroom. We stayed in the bedroom closest to the street. Very comfortable bed. Upstairs bathroom with shower and downstairs bathroom with a tub with shower. Tv has local hd tv channels. We went and toured the USS North Carolina battleship which is docked on the Cape Fear river close to the house. Well worth seeing if you haven’t been on a battleship.

Location Location Location Thats about all this smelly old house with the vintage thrift store decor had going for it. Spiral staircases was awkward, only had one shower and the crusty old towels smelled like mildew. The beds were very uncomfortable to say the least but loved the location

We love Wilmington and visit a couple times a year. This location was in a great part of town, not a far walk from anything. We really enjoyed the house and the historic block. Owners were lovely and even went out of the way to meet some additional accommodations for us. Absolutely wonderful.

Host was very kind. Staying in a historic home was a unique experience I hadn’t done before. Old homes have issues yes but it didn’t overcome the charm of the house. It was in the historic district and walkable to the riverfront district for food shopping and nightlife.

We really enjoyed our four day stay in this beautiful home while in Wilmington for my sons wedding. Everything is as described or better and is just minutes from downtown and the river. We would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay at this home so much. The location was wonderful, the hosts were a joy to talk to, and we overall had a great time! The only small complaints we had was the air would reset itself, and that we weren't given quite enough toilet paper. We would definitely go back and stay here again!

The house was amazing. We were staying for a long weekend for my brother's wedding and needed a larger place for our kids. The house is a beautifully restored 1860's home. Really cool architecture. The location was perfect for us since the wedding was downtown. Luca and Amy were wonderful hosts and made the stay perfect. Thank you guys.
