The Space:
Welcome to the Snipes- Taylor House, part of Historic Downtown Wilmington. The main entrance to the home is through the front door on the large front porch! While the entrance is shared with the upstairs unit, the front porch is a private space for you to use during your stay!
Once inside the foyer, you will enter the unit via a door on the left with its own keyless entry. You will enter into the spacious living room that is full of historic charm, a cozy fireplace, and Smart TV. This room is also equipped with a sleeper sofa for larger groups!
As you walk towards the back of the home you will pass a large dining room that is great for dinner or a game night! The two bedrooms are across from there, both equipped with queen sized beds and plenty of storage. A desk is also available for a remote workspace in one of the rooms!
Right before the kitchen you pass the full bathroom and in-unit laundry. The kitchen is very spacious, fully stocked for all your cooking needs, and has a gas range!
There is an access to the back deck off the kitchen. The back deck is fully shaded with seating for you to sit back and relax. From the deck you can access the shared backyard. Here you will find some outdoor dining and a gas grill for enjoying evenings after a long day of hitting the town!

Thank you so much Megan, we are happy you and your group enjoyed the home! You are welcome to come back anytime!
About the host
Hosted by Michele
We are from Wilmington and live here. We are newly married, love to travel, and our sweet puppy! We have always loved traveling and Wilmington so we thought this would be a cool opportunity to share our city with other people!
Why they chose this property
We are just so close to Downtown and the Riverwalk. The area is residential so its quiet and beautiful, but within a few mintues you can be downtown on the Riverwalk with shopping, coffee, resturants, bars, and more!
What makes this property unique
We are a Historic Home. While the home has modern amenities, it was built in 1911. We have a plague on the house that shows some of the historical significants and its just a charming space to enjoy while exploring all Wimington has to offer!
