The Byrd’s Nest: Historic 5BR + Hot Tub Near Downtown & Beaches, Sleeps 10

Stay together in a spacious 5-bedroom historic Wilmington home full of character and Southern charm, just minutes from downtown and an easy drive to Wilmington-area beaches. The Byrd’s Nest sleeps up to 10, with plenty of room for everyone to relax, gather, and enjoy time together.

Spend the day exploring downtown Wilmington, heading to the beach, or checking out nearby favorites like the Cargo District. Then come home to unwind in the private hot tub, enjoy a game night with board games and an arcade, cook together in the full kitchen, or simply relax and enjoy the warmth and unique details of a home with more than a century of Wilmington history.

The neighborhood has Hollywood history of its own, too. One Tree Hill fans will recognize Carolina Place as home to several filming locations, including the house used as Lucas Scott’s home just blocks away. Scenes from Halloween Kills were filmed only a block away at Wallace Park, and nearby New Hanover High School has appeared in productions including One Tree Hill, Blue Velvet, Dream a Little Dream, and The Runarounds. Wilmington’s long history as a film and television destination adds another fun layer to explore during your stay.

Parking is easy with two dedicated on-site spaces, plus additional street parking available.

With historic charm, plenty of space to gather, a private hot tub, and a convenient location near downtown, the beaches, and some of Wilmington’s most recognizable spots, The Byrd’s Nest is a memorable home base for family trips, wedding weekends, reunions, beach getaways, and weekends with friends.

We had a great girls trip stay here for my birthday! Check in was easy, place was clean (it is pretty dated inside) but it is just as it looks in the photos. Hosts were extremely kind and responsive to any questions we had. Hot tub was great, location was perfect to get to many restaurants downtown. Overall great stay.

We absolutely loved our stay at this historical house! The character and charm throughout made it feel truly special, and it was perfect for our family and extended family thanks to all the space. Cozy yet spacious, it gave everyone room to spread out while still feeling warm and connected.Some of our favorite memories were the late nights playing board games the host thoughtfully provided, and slow mornings around a full pot of coffee (we loved that there was an actual coffee pot for whole pots, not just single servings) before heading out for the day.The location was fantastic too, just a short drive to downtown and just down the street from Thai Restaurant Indochine, which was amazing. Overall, this house was the perfect home base for exploring Wilmington, and we'd stay again in a heartbeat!Also I’d be silly not to mention the backyard garden. It’s very relaxing, providing a hot tub with shade, and greenery. The string lights and iron gate really added to the ambience. We absolutely loved all the little touches and charm!
