Best place in Wilmington!
We had a wonderful time! Very well stoced, great location in the heart of downtown. The communication with our host is probably the best we’ve ever had and we’ve probably done 30+ vrbos we will definitely stay here again. You will not be disappointed.

Spectacular stay in the heart of Wilmington
Really nicely decorated, super comfortable and walkable to everywhere downtown. Every possible amenity. The only downside is that it’s across the street from a bar with outdoor live bands playing until 2 am. The music was fine, just hard to get to sleep.

Outstanding stay in gorgeous apartment
This was one of the nicest rental apartments I’ve ever stayed in, and I have stayed in many. The decor is stunning, attention to detail exacting, and the beds were super comfortable. It’s a very spacious and well lit apartment with pretty much everything you could need or want. The only issue was noise from the entertainment district, and even that was alleviated by the very thoughtful earplugs that were bedside in each room.

Great loft in a great location
Great loft. Easy checking in with very clear instructions from the host. You are located in the heart of downtown Wilmington but you are 10-15 mins from the beach in Wrightsville, and a few blocks from river walk. We came with our 1 year old so it wasn’t difficult for us to manage. They host was able to provide a pack and play as well as a high chair! Hosts are upfront about this which is the noise. The loft is right around the corner from a bar that has a live band every night of the weekend so wasn’t ideal but we managed and host had ear plugs and a sound machine that we used for the night. Great hosts. Located near all the necessary sites for your travel!

Absolute perfection
This was the most amazing stay! Every detail is covered, the property is absolutely gorgeous and sang to my artist soul and literal steps from anything you could want or need. The only negative is just that we couldn’t stay instead of having to leave. So so so wonderful!!! We will FOR SURE be staying at the Art Loft again!!

Excellent property
Highly recommend this rental. The pictures accurately represent the space, but in person it is even better! The space is beautifully decorated, spotless, and has everything you might need. The location is perfect. So many restaurants, coffee shops, and stores at a short walk. Although the bar/music scene was very loud and vibrant on Saturday night, it didn’t bother my family (including 2 children ages 6 and 9). We would definitely rent again if we visit Wilmington. Thanks for hosting!
