What a truly wonderful stay we had at Carole’s little paradise, Riverwalk on Water! Beautifully and tastefully appointed from top to bottom, a well equipped kitchen, free parking, and a super responsive and helpful host! We have found our Wilmington retreat! Some of the best moments of our getaway were sitting on the patio watching people, puppies and spectacular sunsets! Honestly can’t say enough about this special place
Sunset our first night—breathtaking
Looking down Riverwalk from the patio. Captain Cocktail only 3 doors down
A little alligator that lives along the Riverwalk. We so enjoyed seeing it living its best life, soaking in the sun 😊

Riverwalk on Water was everything we’d hoped for and then some. Extremely clean, very responsive host (although we didn’t need anything, but she reached out to check on us and assured us to call if we needed anything at all)We walked everywhere (plenty of restaurants and shops)except to Wrightsville beach, and across the bridge to the battleship.

We had an amazing stay right on the Wilmington Riverwalk. The view was absolutely beautiful, and being right up front made it even better. Our patio door opened directly onto the Riverwalk, which made it so convenient to step outside and enjoy the scenery.Everything we needed was within walking distance—restaurants, coffee shops, and plenty of places to explore. The property itself was very modern, clean, and well maintained. We truly have zero complaints about our stay.Our host was also incredible—super helpful, informative, and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall it was a fantastic experience, and we will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at Riverwalk on Water! The location is well within walking distance to multiple restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping venues. The property was very nicely decorated, clean as a whistle and had a gorgoeus view of the Cape Fear River. We had a little confusion with the parking at first, but once we were settled, we never needed our car, because the location was so good. We were there in the off season so plenty of free parking was available, but could be a different story in a busier season. Overall, this is a fabulous property and we will most certainly return! Can't wait to rebook!

Our stay on the Wilmington Riverwalk was delightful. The condo was perfect. Comfortable, clean, stylish and so convenient to everything Wilmington has to offer. We loved sitting on the patio with our morning coffee watching the river and the people going by and really enjoyed the choice of restaurants only a short stroll away. We will definitely choose to stay again at the condo on the Riverwalk.

Why they chose this property

The first time we came to Wilmington in 2010, we fell in love. At that time, the Riverwalk was quaint and small and as we strolled down its path we came upon these cute yellow cottage buildings and said to each other " Wouldn't it be so cool to own a piece of this iconic Riverwalk"? Well fast forward to 2022, 224 S. Water St. 1C came up for sale and the rest is history. We absolutely love this little condo and all it has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Charming cottage condo located directly on the iconic Cape Fear Riverwalk.
