This is a stand alone unit numerous yards away from the main home. Carefully curated to make you feel like you’re stepping into the 1970s but with all modern amenities! The studio-style guesthouse includes a queen bed, full bathroom, basic kitchen, closet, and outdoor area.
Located on the edge of a walkable neighborhood, the guesthouse is only a five-min. drive to historic downtown Wilmington, a fast walk to Burnt Mill Creek, and fifteen mins. to Wrightsville Beach. We're also just down the street from the movie studio and the airport!
We've styled the studio with the best of the 70s decade--warm tones, bold patterns, and a laid-back style to help you relax!
*Some space highlights*
- Totally equipped kitchenette with vintage-inspired cookware and silverware
- Cozy queen bed with groovy afghan blankets
- Private entrance so you can come and go at your own pace
- Cozy lounge-area with a stereo record player next to a tree-lined window
- Outdoor seating area with vistas of giant oak trees
*Guest access*
Guests have full, private access to the unit and close by outdoor area. We live on the property a few yards away. We are available if you are in need of anything, but we also respect your privacy.
You may see us occasionally in the yard working or getting some yard equipment from the shed behind the guesthouse, but (when possible) we try to mindful of when you appear to be home as to not bother you with this.
We ask that you do not knock on our home's door. We have three dogs that will bark when we have unfamiliar folks at the door.
*Important things to note*
This property is located directly next to a train and railroad crossing. Some people, like us, find this a beautiful treat, but we understand that others will be bothered by the noise. The train does not stop at the property, but traffic is occasionally stopped, with a loud horn. This happens 2-3 times during the day and sometimes over nighttime (once about 10 pm and sometimes again around 1-3 am on weekdays). If you are a light sleeper and the horn noise will likely bother you, we do not recommend you stay here! So far, folks who have stayed here report minimal disturbance. While the train is romantically close, it doesn't make the area shake or anything like that.
We also live close to the airport, and that comes with perks, but it also means that planes fly by over the property. Very occasionally, loud military aircraft will fly over as well.
About the Area
Located in Princess Place, a neighborhood in Wilmington, this apartment is near a water park and near the beach.
