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. No events or big parties are permitted by city ordinance.

Please note that we are no longer able to accommodate pets in our home.

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.

We have stayed at a lot of VRBO’s and this one is our favorite! It has EVERYTHING you need, no rations on toilet paper, trash bags or paper towels. It has everything you need for laundry too. The backyard is an oasis, absolutely stunning. Pool was perfect and so many areas just to relax if you aren’t in the pool. The owners didn’t cut corners and it shows! Can’t wait to be back in several weeks to enjoy it even longer.

Returning back to this beautifully restored home for another relaxing week in Wilmington. Stayed at the pool to relax, made the short trip to the riverfront for food, shopping and entertainment. The hosts go out of their way to ensure a great experience.

The yellow cottage in Historic Wilmington exceeded every expectation. Charming and delightful are the two words that spring immediately to mind. My husband and I booked the cottage for a long weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we couldn't have been more satisfied. The hosts, Chris and Matthew, were wonderfully welcoming and helpful. The home itself is immaculate. The kitchen is as well stocked as my own kitchen and we lacked for nothing. The outside pool area is beautifully landscaped and the eclectic, comfortable seating areas adds to the overall feeling of a tropical hideaway. It's like something out of Old Palm Beach. We had our coffee there in the mornings and our aperitif in the evenings. Bliss!I can't recommend this accommodation too highly.
