About this bed and breakfast

Overview:

Keep it simple at this peaceful and centrally-located carriage house in the heart of historic Wilmington. Recently constructed, clean and tastefully designed in a quiet area just 4 walkable blocks from the river and all that downtown has to offer.

Included is an efficiency kitchenette, full bath, high-speed WIFI, 60" flat screen TV w/ streaming, premium bedding and packed with other essentials.

Location:

The newly built guest house is in the Historic District of downtown Wilmington which allows you the modern conveniences inside while taking a stroll through the past outside. Set behind the main home on a street lined with Live Oaks, Palm Trees, Jasmine, Oleander and Azaleas, it includes a studio floorplan with a full bath and kitchenette. The property is within the Historic District boundaries, so guests immediately take a step back in time once outside with many of the local houses dating back to the early-mid 19th Century.

Very neat and clean place with all the amenities you need. Hosts were very friendly and quick to answer any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again!

The Yak Shack was a place we never wanted to leave. So close to the historic district, a walk to the riverwalk was a breeze. The property was clean and organized and well stocked with every amenity you can think of needing. I met the owners Ryan & Brittany on the way out and they were very accommodating and even offered if we needed more beach supplies if we come back. We are already looking to stay here again!

10/10! The Yak Shack is super cute, very clean, and comfortable. Brittany and Ryan are excellent hosts, very friendly, easy to communicate with, and left no detail unattended. So many thoughtful touches thought this small but mighty space. The Yak Shack is in a walkable neighborhood with a variety of food options and little shops nearby. 100% recommend staying here!
