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 stunning, with mansions and large single family homes. Treat yourself to downtown's finest.

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

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

Uber's are everywhere!
The trolley is free and drives by.
Free parking means you can come and go as you like.

Located less than a half hour drive from either Carolina Beach or Wrightsville Beach.

Parking:
-Free parking behind the house: You have one (1) free parking spot! The alley entrance to the parking area is 9 feet wide. That means you cannot fit a large work van or a big work truck and trailers are not allowed.

-Free Parking on the Street: Everyone in Wilmington knows that street parking is a drag unless you know a local with a Historic District Parking Pass. Now you do. If your truck is too big, or you need more than one space we can get you a parking pass. Contact us, pay a $50.00 deposit (returned when the pass is returned) and you'll get a parking pass that you can use on any non metered space downtown and park free!!

Very Clean, and great location.

I would recommend staying here if you are visiting Wilmington and want to be able to walk around town. Location was walking distance to all things downtown. The apartment was very clean and had everything you need, very well stocked. The only thing to think about if renting here is that the bedroom is located in the front of the house, and the traffic can be a little loud at times. Bring a sound machine and eye mask cover the room does not get dark due to lights outside. Otherwise perfect place to be able to enjoy the town.

Lovely property. Convenient to downtown

Very nice accommodation in a beautiful historic house. Plenty of space. High quality amenities. Off street parking was very convenient. Area was safe and a pleasant, short walk to the downtown area, where there are plenty of great shops and restaurants. Riverwalk is also close by. Great communication by the owners made check in and out very easy. Highly recommended spot.

Great Location

Fredonia on Front is a quick walk to downtown and is in a beautiful historic neighborhood. It’s the perfect size for two. The unit is clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. The owners were very welcoming with the basket of goodies provided (including ear plugs), email to check up on our stay, and responded promptly to our request. The only negatives for me were the traffic noise and the bedroom blinds, but I am a light sleeper. My husband was just fine.

Mother-Daughter Getaway

We enjoyed our stay in the historical home and neighborhood. The You Tube video helped us to find the parking area and was very helpful! We were pleased with the unit overall! The street traffic was loud at night since the bedroom faces Front Street. For appearance, I would suggest repainting the pots on the porch and updating the flowers (all the winter flowers have died and are still there). Also, in the back of the property the walkway is green and could be pressure washed. This may also help with slick surfaces when it rains. Thank you.

Wonderful Weekend

We had a wonderful stay at Fredonia and Front. The condo was beautiful. We stayed in 3B and it was a great size with a large living room/ kitchen area, a huge bedroom and good-sized bathroom. The location was great to walk to everything in the historic district. Check in and communication was great and seamless We didn't spend a lot of time in the apartment since we were in town to explore Wilmington (we didn't need to cook anything) but it seemed well appointed and had everything we needed. I guess the best review is: we plan to stay here again when we come back to Wilmington.

Fredonia

The property was excellent. It was a great location. We had a great time. The only negative I have was a problem where we parked. We didn’t notice until the last day but there were ants on our car. Not a massive amount just several. The parking area should be sprayed.

Levity from freshman orientation

Curt and Ada have created a lovely space in a perfect location. I was freaking out after leaving my son at UNCW freshman orientation. Curt responded to me quickly when I was at a loss following his specific parking and entry instructions.

A month in Wilmington

It was perfect a location. We walked to town and church. Also not far from my cousins who we were visiting. We found the perfect coffee shop, Hidden Grounds. Lots of yummy restaurants. Toured the SS North Carolina. Saw the beaches and South Port. The great porch was perfect for when we decided to have an off day & read. Thanks for a great time.

Adorable place,Great location

We stayed here for one night in March. We loved the location and the space in the place. It was a great time! My only hiccup was I thought I had booked for 2 nights, not 1 and when I called and sent text messages inquiring about adding an additional night, I never received a response or anything from the host. The phone number went to a machine in a different language, not sure if the posted number was not correct, but we found somewhere else to stay, would have been nice to hear something back.

Good location; nice space; off street parking!

Our initial difficulty in finding the on-site parking and our specific unit was quickly resolved with a phone call to the host. The apartment is spacious - great for two - and is clean and comfortably furnished. The bedroom faces the street, which has more traffic than we expected but quieted down by 11. Upstairs neighbors walking back and forth were quite audible but they, like the traffic, quieted down at a reasonable hour. Proximity to the riverwalk and downtown combined with the off-street parking are huge pluses. All in all, this place is a great value.
