About this property

Eilers House Historic Estate Established in 1852 with Formal Garden

Welcome to this recently renovated estate in downtown Wilmington. Eilers House's original construction dates back to 1852, but we've redesigned all interior spaces for modern living and exceptional comfort. With three spacious bedrooms upstairs and a luxurious, open layout downstairs, guests find plenty of room to relax and enjoy their stay. Our full kitchen features a wide range of updated appliances and the high ceilings throughout the main floor make for a truly breathtaking visual experience. However, what really sets this location apart is its large formal garden, great for small gatherings or just soaking in the sites and sounds of downtown Wilmington. The property also features a driveway that can fit up to three cars so you avoid the hassles of street parking. Whether you’re unwinding after a day of exploring the local sites or gathering for a meal, this elegant estate in the heart of downtown Wilmington offers a perfect balance of comfort and style. Enjoy all that Wilmington has to offer when you stay at Eilers House and make memories you'll never forget!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Absolutely amazing property! The pictures do not do this home justice. The craftsmanship is phenomenal for a home built in 1852 and the beds, WOW! My wife and I plan to return to Wilmington and we will definitely be staying at the Eilers House. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of visiting the area to book this home.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This home was exquisite and if possible, even better than the pictures! From the garden to the gourmet kitchen, this home had amazing detail in every room. The historic neighborhood was within walking distance to many wonderful coffee shops, restaurants, and the Riverwalk. Wrightsville Beach was a short drive, so it felt like we had the best of both worlds. The host Jimmy was exceptional with communication and very gracious. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
