Located right downtown in a pretty historic row of mansions, you'll find this condo has old world charm paired with modern amenities. The vintage wood floors, baseboards, decorative non-operating original fireplaces, and other historic details will take you back in time to the 1800's, but the comfortable furnishings, clean ambiance, supplied kitchen, cozy bed, intelligent TV, and wifi meet today's traveler's needs. Recently modernized by a former New Yorker, this cozy condo captures the Manhattan feel with an open and clean design. The decor and feel brings the NYC 43rd St apartment vibes with the well adored historic elements paired with timeless subway tile, fresh and jazzy decor, and an uncluttered look. This condo is one of five in a huge historic home on Front Street.

Your condo is private with a private entrance, and is one of 5 in an striking historic home. You can chill out on the shared front porch or sit outside in backyard on the patio. The 2nd floor balcony is shared with one other condo and accessed through a common area, with great vistas. You'll have access to a shared laundry room with coin operated machines inside. You'll also get one parking pass to park a normal size car or modest pickup behind the home (complimentary parking in downtown Wilmington!!)

We are here when you need us and invisible when you don't. Ada prides herself on speedy replies. We're here for you if you need us.

This condo is located in arguably the nicest block of Old Wilmington's historic mansion district. The architecture around the neighborhood is impressive, with mansions and enormous single family homes. Treat yourself to downtown's best.

If you walk out the front door onto Front Street, you'll see the glamorous Dudley Mansion from 1825, a gorgeous 10,000 sq ft estate that was home to North Carolina's first Governor. If you walk out the back door and down the cozy alley driveway to 2nd Street, you'll see block after block of handsome Victorian homes. If you adore old homes and turn of the century architecture, be sure to make some time to take it in!

Just walk!!! You're very close to eateries, shopping, nightlife, entertainment, the waterfront and riverwalk, museums, and ghost tours!

Strategies to get the best Wilmington vacation property experience:

When to visit Wilmington & When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. To book the most suitable rental within your budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

How to pick the best vacation rental:

• Select your dates and budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Manhattan on Front! Balcony Park Free! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. Otherwise, reach out to the host before booking the property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC destination you long to visit, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make sure that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, record any problem areas upon check in. Contact the host right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
