About this listing

Wake up to sweeping water views and unwind in a thoughtfully curated, design-forward space featuring statement mural, warm organic textures, and layered lighting throughout. Enjoy your private balcony at sunrise or sunset, stocked kitchen, and cozy, elevated living area designed for relaxation and style. Located minutes from the Riverwalk, top restaurants, coffee shops, and all the best in downtown, this retreat is perfect for a romantic escape, weekend getaway, or extended stay by the coast.

From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a striking, oversized mural that sets the tone for the space—artful, layered, and completely unique. The open-concept living area is anchored by warm wood tones, a rich leather sofa, and soft, ambient lighting that creates a cozy atmosphere day or night. Natural light pours in through the large sliding doors, leading you out to your private balcony where you can take in sweeping water views—perfect for morning coffee or unwinding at sunset.

The kitchen is fully equipped for your stay, whether you’re preparing a full meal or just enjoying a quiet morning in. Thoughtful touches like a dedicated coffee bar, open shelving, and curated styling make the space feel elevated without sacrificing comfort or function. The adjacent dining area offers a simple, modern place to gather, while still keeping the focus on the view and overall experience.

Just beyond, the bedroom is designed to feel like a boutique hotel retreat. A soft, layered bed with quality linens, warm lighting, and a calming green accent wall create a restful space to unwind after a day exploring Wilmington. The room is styled with a mix of organic and classic elements, giving it a timeless, comfortable feel that photographs beautifully and sleeps even better.

The bathroom is clean, spacious, and stocked with essentials, featuring a large vanity and a shower/tub combination—ideal for both quick mornings and slower, more relaxed evenings.

Throughout the home, intentional design choices—from the lighting to the textures to the layout—create a cohesive experience that feels elevated yet approachable. Every detail has been considered to make your stay not just comfortable, but memorable.

Good to Know Before Your Stay:

Verification & Rental Agreement
To help ensure a safe and secure experience for everyone, we use SafeGuest for identity verification and rental agreement review. After your reservation is confirmed, you’ll receive a link with simple instructions to complete this process prior to arrival. A security deposit will be required through SafeGuest.

Check-In & Check-Out
Check-in begins at 4:00 PM, and check-out is 10:00 AM. These times allow our cleaning team the opportunity to thoroughly prepare the home for each guest.
During our busy summer season (Memorial Day through Labor Day), we are generally unable to accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs from Friday through Sunday due to tight turnover schedules. During the week, we are happy to check availability within 24 hours of arrival or departure. When accommodations are possible, a fee of $25 per hour applies for early arrivals or late departures.

A Note About Coastal Wildlife
One of the joys of the coast is being surrounded by nature. Our area is home to a variety of local insects, including spiders, ants, and palmetto bugs, particularly during warmer months. The home receives regularly scheduled professional pest control treatments, but occasional sightings can still occur despite our best efforts. If you encounter any concerns during your stay, please let us know and we’ll gladly arrange additional treatment if needed. Seeing native insects will not be grounds for a cancellation or refund.

Television & Streaming
While this property does not offer cable service, smart TVs or Rokus are available for you to access your favorite streaming platforms using your personal accounts. Please remember to log out before departure, or remotely through your streaming service if needed.

Cleanliness
Our housekeeping team takes great pride in preparing the home for every guest, however everyone is human. If anything doesn’t meet your expectations upon arrival, please let us know as soon as possible so we can address it promptly and help ensure you have a comfortable stay.
