Only a mile walk down cobblestone streets to historic downtown or hip cargo district. 20 minute drive to Wrightsville beach! Family friendly home with crib, high chair, baby bathtub, blackout curtains, toys, games, puzzles, & toddler kitchenware. Fully stocked kitchen. Yoga mats and fiction books for adults. Firepit & outdoor dining in fenced in yard. Guest access You have the whole property to yourself with an easy keypad check-in! The property The home is on the 800 block in the city of Wilmington's downtown historic Castle Street district. It has thick bushes surrounding the front and sides of the home and a driveway on either side (the neighbor’s driveways) which provides distance between the neighbor’s homes. We have blinds and sheer curtains to let in light, yet provide privacy. It has a sunny fenced in backyard with a tall privacy fence, high trees along the back to give more privacy from the house behind us, string lights, fire pit & Adirondack chairs, and a picnic table. Enjoy hanging out by the fire or dining outside after a long day exploring the area. See photos for a better picture of what city living looks like. The neighborhood Our home is located in the up and coming Castle Street Antique & Arts district. This is a popular place for VRBOs (because of the walkability to small businesses) and know of 3 VRBOs on our block alone & about 10 within a few blocks of us! We’re a part of the Castle Street Collective which is a group of small business owners on Castle Street, VRBOs in our neighborhood, and the neighbors who work together with the city of Wilmington to develop & beautify our historic arts and antiques neighborhood. Downtown Wilmington is considered an urban area & offers a lively experience compared to nearby quiet beach towns. It is the 8th biggest city in North Carolina. Our street is not a main street like Market or Dawson & does not have a lot of car traffic. Like in many cities, there are people walking, biking, or hanging out outside. We provide sound machines in each bedroom if you’d like to use them at night. We love & are proud of our inclusive vibrant neighborhood, and bring our infant and toddler often to enjoy what the city has to offer while still being within a quick drive to the beach. However, we understand everyone has different comfort levels when they are traveling to new places. If you’re not looking for a lively city experience, I recommend staying in smaller towns. Wrightsville or Carolina beach are quieter because they’re not within walking distance of the downtown or small businesses. This cuts down on foot traffic and noise because everyone has to use their car to get around. A huge perk of staying in downtown Wilmington is you’re getting a great value by being a 20 minute drive to the beach, rather than paying a premium for beach front property. The other huge perk is you can enjoy the beach by day and city life by night. If downtown Wilmington is what you’re looking for, we’d love to host you! We do have blink cameras on the exterior of the property. A doorbell camera, a camera facing the street, and 2 in the backyard. We inherited these from the contractor who flipped the home. The rare occasions when we’ve used them was to see how the property faired in the snow to see if we needed to get it shoveled, to confirm our garbage can was missing when our cleaner notified us it was gone, or when our keypad notified us a guest typed in an incorrect code on the front door & I was able to talk to them through the blink to help them in. Other than that, they go unused because it’s a pain to get out a ladder to change their batteries and we never planned to install them, they were just there from previous owners. Please let me know if you have any questions about them! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No lift - Single level property - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city centre - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the marina ### Things to do - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Local artist showcase - Recycling - Unit size: 1,006 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106960000/106955500/106955446/4bddc25e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3 Bedroom Downtown Wilmington Bungalow by Castle St Wilmington Historic District - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.2 Wonderful 21 reviews £213 includes taxes & fees 7 Oct - 8 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-07&endDate=2025-10-08&selected=106955446&PinnedHotelID=106955446&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111340000/111338400/111338389/3e024661.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tilly's Cottage - Fully Fenced-in Yard with Stocked Coffee Bar Northside - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 19 reviews £183 includes taxes & fees 7 Oct - 8 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-07&endDate=2025-10-08&selected=111338389&PinnedHotelID=111338389&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100150000/100143300/100143299/011b9b9c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Boho Bungalow - Downtown - Free Parking Brooklyn Arts District - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 9.6 Exceptional 32 reviews £174 includes taxes & fees 15 Oct - 16 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=100143299&PinnedHotelID=100143299&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74740000/74730900/74730846/5f2a064a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Blue Bungalow Walk Downtown!
