About this property

It's the perfect little secret cozy hideaway if you want to be in the heart of it all without the hassle! Enjoy fast WiFi, hot coffee at a corner cafe, strolling around the block for local microbrews or the famer's market, poking around the local art scene, soaking in a riverfront sunset...if you want to experience the heart of downtown Wilmington, this is it! This quirky and newly renovated studio has all the creature comforts you need for a happy, cozy stay. Park the car, no need to drive!
The space
Perfect for singles or couples, the studio is a charming 320 square feet. Located on the second floor, window overlooks a bright and sunny open-air atrium. The vibe is fun and eclectic here - feel free to kick your feet up and relax!

Sleep: The 2nd Street Studio has a queen size Murphy bed that comfortably sleeps 2 people. It's comfy! The bathroom is spacious for 2. Linens and towels provided. Laundry is on-site and FREE for you.

Connect: Stay connected with the flat screen tv - you've got all the local channels, Amazon Prime video, Netflix and free WiFi.

Eat: Fully equipped kitchenette! But you won't want to miss our local dining scene. :)

Park: It's right across the street and is $8/day. The big parking deck is on the corner, and several other decks are within walking distance. There are metered spots right out the front door and on every block (free after 6:30 pm and Sundays!). Plan to park your car and leave it - you won't need it unless you are headed to the beach! Since downtown is THE place to be, street parking can be tricky on holiday and festival weekends... contact us and we will help you.

Great find

Perfect location for my trip. Next door to the event space where I attended a wedding. Everything was walkable. The studio itself was super cute. Two things that came up for me: I was a little too short (5' 4") to reach the Murphy bed but eventually get it. Maybe a stool or tall companion would be helpful. And, although there was a sign about the shower hot/cold situation, the temp was either very hot or very cold. I couldn't find the sweet spot. The bed, linens, and amenities were great. I particularly enjoyed poking around all the books, gems, records, tarot cards, plants, and other decor. Overall, this is a great find! I would definitely stay here again but will ask for help with the shower next time. Thank you!!

Weekend in Wilmington

This Vrbo was perfect for our little getaway. The location was more than ideal as we did not have to start or move the car the entire weekend! Everything we were interested in for our first trip was within walking distance. The house is adjacent to a night club but that didn’t bother us too much as we had a long day and were exhausted from all the fun experiences. Thanks for a great host!

Absolutely Wonderful!

Great, convenient location to the river walk and all of the shops and restaurants downtown. The unit was quiet and perfect for 2 people. Very cute and well worth booking again!

Great Location for Walking/Shopping/Eating in Historic District

We enjoyed the ease of getting in and out of the condo and parking choices were abundant for our 2-day weekend stay-cation. We had everything we needed in the neat and tidy unit! Jen responded quickly to our question about the lock code. I'd recommend this whole heartedly as a great place to explore downtown Wilmington from --- on foot!

Getaway to Wilmington

The apartment is located near everything in Wilmington, so once you park you can leave your car there. The space is generous enough for two people, a comfortable couch becomes a supercomfortable queen-sized murphy bed. There are plenty of books for reading, a great boho aesthetic and a fully equipped kitchen, large enough for a extended stay and for cooking/eating within the space. The bathroom is quite large [full shower-plenty of towels] with ample storage for clothes within the closet and expansive bathroom counter. The laundry facilities are on the property in a separate area, easy to access. The one suggestion I would make is perhaps to leave a detailed guest legend or book providing things such as laundry location, wifi passwords, etc in addition to notes about clean up or restaurant suggestions, so that a guest would not have to pester the host. All in all this was a great experience and I would sincerely reccomend Jennifer and this place for others, as well as visiting this space again either for a quick three day trip or for a full week. The location and decor make this a great spot for year round enjoyment.

Beach Trip

My wife and I had a great time. This property was perfect for what we needed. Loved the area and being able to walk to many places, drive to the beach wasn’t too bad either. Would definitely stay here again!
