About this property
The Carriage House at Princess Place
The Carriage House at Princess Place is a cozy, thoughtfully crafted retreat made with reclaimed materials, offering warmth, character, and comfort in every detail. **Please note that The Carriage House is a private, second-floor apartment located above The Casita, another apartment on the property. Access requires climbing one flight of exterior stairs, making this home best suited for guests who are comfortable using stairs.**
Nestled beside Burnt Mill Creek in a quiet, established, and very walkable neighborhood, guests often enjoy peaceful morning walks, birdwatching, and a strong sense of privacy while still being close to everything.
Located just 1.5 miles from Downtown Wilmington and the Cape Fear Riverwalk, guests can easily explore waterfront dining, live music, local shops, breweries, coffee houses, and historic charm. You're also only about 7 miles from Wrightsville Beach, making beach days effortless and spontaneous.
After a day of exploring, guests can unwind in the shared outdoor space featuring a hot tub and fire table, shared with guests staying at The Casita on the property. The setup encourages a relaxed, social yet respectful atmosphere under the stars.
The property blends comfort, convenience, and character with a strong sense of neighborhood safety and walkability, making it ideal for couples, solo travelers, snowbirds, travel professionals, and extended-stay guests seeking both charm and accessibility in the heart of Wilmington.

Why they chose this property
Princess Place is a centrally located Wilmington neighborhood known for its convenience, quiet residential feel, and established character. Just a few minutes from downtown Wilmington and about 20 minutes from Wrightsville Beach, it offers easy access to both the city’s dining, nightlife, and riverfront attractions as well as coastal recreation. Wilmington International Airport is also nearby, making travel especially convenient. The neighborhood is primarily made up of single-family homes, many of which are older 1940s–1960s ranch-style houses that have been updated over time, giving the area a mix of charm, mature trees, and a lived-in, established feel rather than new construction uniformity. Unlike some nearby areas, Princess Place does not have an HOA, which provides homeowners with more flexibility and fewer restrictions. It is generally considered more affordable than surrounding historic or rapidly developing neighborhoods, while still offering strong proximity to key Wilmington destinations. The area is largely residential and low-key, with minimal commercial development, contributing to a quieter atmosphere where neighbors walk dogs, bike, and enjoy a more relaxed pace of life. Nearby parks, schools, and everyday conveniences such as grocery stores and services are only a short drive away. Overall, Princess Place is valued for its central location, practicality, and authentic Wilmington neighborhood feel that balances accessibility with a peaceful residential environment.
