Comfortable Home in the Heart of Wilmington - Vacation rental home in Wilmington, NC

You will appreciate this historic home in the peaceful and appealing Ardmore-Carolina Place neighborhood. The inviting front porch with swing and rocking chairs, plus the rear deck in the entirely fenced yard, make the outside as comfortable as the inside. The neighborhood is a walker’s heaven, just mins. from dozens of eateries, bars and coffee stores in the Cargo District and steps away from a playground. It is a fast drive to Wilmington’s thriving historic downtown, and only 15 mins. to the beach.

The space

This is our second home, and it is set up for living. The modern kitchen has everything you will need, including multiple coffee options (Keurig, pour over, and percolator). A full-size refrigerator provides filtered water and ice. There is a gas grille on the rear deck. The deck overlooks the lawn and gardens in the fenced yard – a calming getaway in the heart of the city.

The Master BR has an en-suite bath with dual sinks and a enormous walk-in shower. The second bathroom also offers dual sinks and a tub/shower.

You will have access to a full-size washer and dryer. There is a 55” UHD TV in the living room, and a smaller TV in the MBR; both have a Roku to access your streaming services. The DR table seats six. You’ll find an assortment of books, puzzles and games.

Off-street parking for one car. Plenty of on-street parking. A code to access the front door lock will be supplied before arrival.

The neighborhood

Ardmore was one of Wilmington’s first “streetcar suburbs” in the 1920s and today is considered to be on the edge of Downtown Wilmington. Like the adjoining Carolina Place, Ardmore is made up of modest bungalows with peaceful streets, well-tended gardens and sidewalks made for walking. Nearly every home has a front porch.

Our home is just steps from a modest playground, and a ten-min. walk to a bigger, freshly-refreshed playground in Wallace Park. Wilmington’s vibrant and growing Cargo District is only 10 mins. by foot, with dozens of fashionable eateries, bars and coffee stores. It takes less than 10 mins. to drive (or

30 mins. to walk) to the historic downtown and the charming Wilmington Riverwalk, and to the growing Soda Pop District.

Southeastern NC is home to some of the country’s best beaches, and Wilmington sits right in the middle. Family-friendly Wrightsville Beach is a 15-min. drive from the home. Carolina Beach, with its historic boardwalk, is only 30 mins. away, and numerous handsome beaches in Brunswick and Pender counties can be reached in less than an hour.

We’ve supplied the home with plenty of information about beaches, parks, historical tours and everything else this region and city have to offer. You’ll also find a list of some of our favorite places to eat and drink, and a walking map to guide you to some of our close-by favorites.

You will adore this casual, family-friendly home in one of America’s best cities. Feel complimentary to ask any questions. Because we live out of state when not living on Nun Street, you are more likely to hear from our phenomenal property manager, Christina, who will also be available to attend to any issues during your stay.
