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.

I loved the location and the extra touches. The space was beautifully appointed. The guide book left for us was perfect for the suggestions it offered. We will definitely choose the Wilmingtonian again.
The hosts were great. Very communicative. And accommodating. The place was just what we needed. Very clean. Nice little welcome goodies basket. Stocked coffee pods. And condiments. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. We would stay here again. And we just might.
Perfect location for a wonderful weekend in Wilmington
The property was exactly as advertised, close to downtown and the Riverwalk, ample parking, and plenty of space to relax when we were not out exploring. We had a great time exploring Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach. We will return and hope to stay here again!
Great historical home! Home is over 100 years old so don’t expect perfection but, suite D was clean and comfortable. Location is great for access to downtown and the riverwalk.
I had a second stay at this house (different suite), it was just as nice as my first stay. Clean, perfect location, and excellent communication on the part of the hosts.
Gteat place to stay and wonderful hosts. Loved the book of suggestion for restaurants, places to go and things to see. Stocked coffee bar and snacks are a nice touch.
We had a long weekend and this was the perfect spot! It was great location and walking distance to everything. The house was clean and comfortable! We had everything we needed and it was easy communication with Curt and Ada.
Very nice stay - close to all with easy check in and out. The river boat ride is especially interesting. The apartment was large and had everything. I highly recommend this VRBO rental.
Loved our Wilmington get away in a home built in 1837. Old mixed together with modern decor. All the accommodations were lovely. Parking was easy and most places were walkable from our place. Highly recommend!
A beautiful, well-appointed quiet home just steps away from all of the downtown dining and entertainment options. We watched the sunset on the river from our second floor balcony. Perfect trip. Responsive and gracious hosts.
The Wilmingtononian was the perfect location to downtown. We walked everywhere and enjoyed getting familiar with the area and local shops. Our stay was very cozy. The setup was perfect for what we needed. It did get a bit loud in the early mornings with city life but it was still a good stay.loudTherecomplimentary
Great historical building with the modern spin and conveniences we expect in today’s life. Easy to access the parking spots in the back, walk down the street to the nearby nightlife, and thoroughly enjoy what the downtown area offers.
The Wilmingtonian on Front is in a beautiful historic home with modern, classy features. We loved the separate comfy living room and fully equipped kitchen. It is in a beautiful, historic area that is short walk to the River Walk, restaurants, and shopping. We will be back again!
This is the perfect location for access to the town of Wilmington and the surrounding beaches and other areas. We were able to walk downtown for breakfast every morning, and in the evening for dinner or a drink. Beaches were a short drive. The house was clean, parking was off street and very secure. Hosts were attentive and accessible.
