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.

Communication with the friendly host was very easy. You can walk anywhere so the car can stay parked. Friendly neighbors. We had our family Thanksgiving at the house - I would do it again.

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.
