Alternatives

Airbnb - Milestone Manor | Sleeps 4
Historic home easily walkable to all the downtown restaurants, bars, shops, & riverfront. Super beautiful area to walk around if you like old architecture & cobblestone streets!

Airbnb - Hey Glen Hey | Sleeps 6
This cute little spot is in our neighborhood! Very walkable, close to downtown but a little off the beaten trail. Close to antique stores, coffee shops, a fantastic books/records store, the best bottle shop/bar in town, and some excellent restaurants.

On the edge of our neighborhood, a little further from downtown BUT right in the Cargo District, which is a super fun and lively area with some excellent casual restaurants and fun bars.

Airbnb - La Pansion Bungalow Beach House | Sleeps 6
Close to downtown and the Cargo District, just looks extremely cute. Less than a block away from White Front Breakfast House…iykyk. I want to stay here.

Airbnb - Palm Tree House | Sleeps 2
Nautical themed little getaway with a gorgeous garden situation. In a really lovely residential area about a 5 min drive from downtown or a long pretty walk through some historic neighborhoods.

Airbnb - Cottage by the Lake | Sleeps 4
If you are a walker or runner… book this one. It’s right by Greenfield Lake which is Wilmington’s #1 hidden gem. Gorgeous 4 mile loop around a lake with so much incredible wildlife. You’ll see alligators and herons and storks and turtles etc, etc, etc. Tons of beautiful live oak trees. Just a great spot. 

Stay

Getting here & around

Fly into ILM! If you’re staying downtown(ish) then you should be totally fine using Uber/Lyft or walking wherever you need to go. If you’re staying closer to the beach, I would definitely recommend renting a car.
