Historic Ardmore House - 3br/2ba downtown Wilmington

This beautiful 1917 bungalow has just undergone a complete renovation & brought back to her original glory. Greeted by a lovely front porch that reminds you it's time to sit back and relax.

This professionally-designed home "wraps its arms around you" upon entering with 3 large bedrooms, 2 full baths, a chef's kitchen, a private deck in the rear with outdoor dining for 6 as well as a fenced-in back yard for your fur babies!

Enjoy the Historic Downtown Wilmington district with its plethora of restaurants, galleries, theaters and venues. Only a 5-minute drive to Screen Gems.

Wedding Reception Stay
The owner was extremely flexible with our changing plans. The house is gorgeous. It is well laid out with all the little touches provided. We didn’t have time but the back deck would have been relaxing during a longer stay. The only small gotcha would be the parking if a larger group was there.

A Happy Reunion!
Friends from college reunite in Wilmington. We’re given a deluxe tour by one of our friends who is a new resident but already knows the city like a native. The Ardmore house was a wonderful place to call home for our week in Wilmington. The friendly, responsive management has thought of everything! The house is the perfect combination of comfort, convenience and creativity! We would come back in a heartbeat!

This place was perfect! I really liked the house, it was clean and the area was quiet. it was not very far from the beach and all the places to eat were very close. We were lucky enough to get in touch with our host. Which was nice. If you are planning a trip, I recommend staying here!

One of the best rentals in Wilmington
Our housing plans fell through at the last minute for the weekend - hours before we were supposed to arrive into the city - and we were lucky enough to have this house still available for our use. Communication with the owners was perfect, and they ensured we settled in comfortably after arrival. The house is beautiful and was in the center of everything for us! We had the best weekend and it had a lot to do with this location.

Adorable Property
This property is just adorable! From the historic details that were kept to the fantastic amenities, I cannot say enough good things about the Ardmore House! The front porch was delightful and the neighbors all waved and said hello, just like we were old friends. The property manager was super responsive and gave us great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. We will definitely be returning!

We were in town for a family wedding, the house could not have been more perfect! Great space that flows well both inside and out. Clean roomy amd well stocked. My only regret is that i didn’t finish the book borrowed form the extensive library wall! 😊. Highly recommend Historic Ardmore House

Needed a place to stay for college move-in day and this house was located close to Downtown and UNCW. Quiet, great fire pit, clean inside and decorated nicely. Came with several coffee options and stocked cabinet. My family enjoyed the stay immensely and I highly recommend it.

Great getaway
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the Ardmore House! The pictures really don't do this place justice. It really feels like a home away from home. Tucked away from the main road in a quiet neighborhood is this beautiful homestead that gives you the R&R you are looking for, while a short distance from a slew of restaurants. The host was very attentive to our needs and extremely responsive during the course of our stay. I will give this place a 10/10. It will be our number choice when visiting the Wilmington area.

Beautiful Historic Home
We give this home 5 stars all the way around! We stayed here while visiting our college son over Easter. The teens and adults loved the property. The home was beautifully decorated with extremely comfortable bedding and furniture. The bathrooms are gorgeous. The kitchen well equipped for cooking Easter dinner. The cleanliness of this home and the furniture was above average. As VRBO owners ourselves, we appreciated all of the details in this home and all of the comfort it provided as guests. Would stay here again when visiting the Wilmington area.

Nice short stay in Wilmington
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We were pleasantly surprised to find a beautiful Christmas tree in the living room when we arrived. The neighborhood was great and only about 1.5 miles to downtown. The property was very clean and the beds were super comfy. Really liked that there was parking at the property.
