Beautifully restored home in Wilmington Historic District with pool

Enjoy the charm of this historic cottage home. Located among the many attractions of downtown and within an easy drive to the beaches, this historic yet modern home makes for the perfect spot to enjoy everything Wilmington has to offer. And if you just want to escape and relax, you have private access to the beautiful pool oasis right outside your back door. (The pool is not heated and generally too cold to be in from late September through mid-May, but the pool remains open and the pool area can be enjoyed year round.)

The historic but completely renovated home includes a comfortable living room, a dining room that seats eight, a well-equipped kitchen, and a large back deck. The two bedrooms each have their own en suite bathrooms with walk-in showers. Additional sleeping is available on the fold-out sofa in the living room. The front porch, deck, courtyard, and private pool areas offer great outdoor space for enjoying coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening, as well as a great place to soak up the sun or lounge in the shade!

All of historic downtown Wilmington is an easy walk from the house. There is off-street parking for two vehicles. All linens and towels are provided, including pool and beach towels.

This home is not only in a prime location to enjoy Wilmington, but has everything you need to make for a relaxing getaway!

Because of the outdoor space, guests often want to invite others over to join them. Small gatherings are permitted, but we ask that you inform us first if anyone not staying at the house is coming over. The house is in a residential neighborhood and we ask that our guests be courteous of our neighbors. Therefore, we don’t allow groups of more than 12 and ask hosts to monitor noise levels, particularly after 9:00pm.

The number of pets allowed is limited to one well-behaved pet. We live right next door to the property, so if you have any needs or questions while you are staying, we are very easy to reach.

Wow, this property was amazing. Beautiful house that was very clean and close to the riverfront. We enjoyed the large pool and beautiful courtyard. Would definitely come back.

I want this home at my home
Matt and Chris’s cottage is beautiful and provided a perfect home away from home for me, my husband, college-age daughter during our short stay in Wilmington. We so appreciated being able to stay in a stunningly decorated, clean and conveniently located property that is dog-friendly and allowed us to entertain relatives who were staying in nearby Wrightsville Beach. (The property’s furnished swimming pool space is a luxurious bonus room.) I have land enough for a backyard bungalow where I live. If I ever create one, I’d model it after this historic, thoughtfully renovated home.

Historic charm with a garden oasis
Check-in was wonderful. We were given detailed instructions on how to operate the lock and were preemptively asked if we would like to check-in early-which we did. The home is exceptionally clean and well-appointed with everything we needed including abundant, fresh linen. The beds were comfortable and the kids didn’t complain about sleeping on the Pottery Barn sofa-bed. The pool area is even better than portrayed in the photos. The area is expansive with multiple areas to lounge, play, sunbathe or dine. The Hosts were very friendly, responsive, and gave us a great recommendation for outdoor dining at Indochine. This isn’t an investment property with absent owners. The hosts love their home and it shows. Parking: Pros: There is off-street parking available in the Historic District Concerns: The off-street parking area is very narrow. If you have a very large SUV (Navigator L, Suburban or similar) you will have to climb over the center console to exit the vehicle and branches will likely scrape the top of your vehicle. There is usually street parking available, but not always. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend you check it out if you are fortunate to find it available on your trip to Wilmington.

Beautiful Historic Home
The house was a welcoming place to stay, very comfortable and the host thought of everything. Close to riverfront and local historic house museums. Short drive to Wrightsville beach and other area attractions. Perfect stay if you are looking for two primary bedrooms with private baths.

Can't wait to go back
When we arrived, Chris met us at the door. Shortly after we met Matt. I cannot say enough about these two guys. Outstanding personalities. They made us feel like we owned the cottage. We were right at home including the back oasis with the saltwater pool and the Lanai. Water was pretty chilly, but it did not stop me from getting in. I could write a short book on our 4 days stay but you just got to check it out for yourself. We also loved the fact it's in the Historic district and is a documented home. Nothing like a hotel, I'll never stay in another hotel again. Dave & Linda

Best & most comfortable in stay in Wilmington!
Our stay was exceptional. The house, rooms, family room were the best we could have imagined. The furniture was very comfortable, great quality and a perfect match throughout the house. The bedrooms & bath were very clean, well lit and all the comforts of home. The pool and the pool area were amazing, clean, landscaped and so comfortable. Best stay ever!

This is a beautiful home. Chris and Matt thought of every amenity possible. It is a quiet neighborhood and in close proximity to the riverfront. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the fall.

Wonderful House
We loved this house! The interior is beautiful and the backyard pool is out of this world. You're a short drive to the beach and walking distance to restaurants and shopping. The hosts are so nice and checked in with us during our stay to see if we needed anything. I would stay here again!

Lovely home in the historic district
We spent a week here to get a break from winter. Loved the house, the front porch, the sunny backyard and deck, the neighborhood and easy walking distance to downtown and the river walk. Matt is very responsive and the home is beautifully decorated and furnished. Would go back in heartbeat!
