Photos and Description of the Wilmington vacation house rental
2 bedrooms, 1 bath, queen and single foldout, sleeps 7 (3 couples + 1)

This ABSOLUTELY charming bungalow in the historic district of Wilmington was built in 1916, has 9 foot ceilings, and is located right off the popular Wrightsville Avenue amidst older homes constantly being remodeled. It has two bedrooms and a single bath, with a queen size sleeper sofa and a large chair with a single size sleeper in it, making it a great place for up to 7 (3 couples + one extra) to sleep.

You are approximately 1 mile from Front Street and the Cape Fear River and only about 15 minutes from Wrightsville Beach. Across the street is a house used in the TV series One Tree Hill. It is the house Lucas, played by Chad Michael Murray, lives in. And yes, you can often sit on the porch with a glass of wine or your favorite beverage and watch them film.

Its walking distance to a wonderful little breakfast and lunch diner, a great park with a play set for kids and a large field for soccer, baseball, football, or playing with your dog. Across from the park is a Port City Java.

About Allen Wyke

Wyke Properties, LLC was founded by Allen Wyke. When inquiring about this property, you'll either hear from Allen or his sister, Evelyn.

Allen Wyke purchased this house in 2002
Why Allen Wyke chose Wilmington

As a child, Allen use to visit family and vacation in Wilmington, so he has always had a strong attraction and sense of belonging to the area. In 2002, when he bought the home, he was looking to find a place that needed some work, but would ultimately offer a destination...a home for friends, family and vacation renters to enjoy. The home is located on a unique one way street in its neighborhood, which was attractive, and there were numerous homes being remodeled. Fast forward to today, and nearly all of the homes on our street have been remodeled, a new Neighborhood Association has been formed, and we couldn't be more happy to not only provide the location for rental, but we also love to go ourselves.

Beautiful Home

5 of 5
Submitted: June 1, 2009 Stayed: May 2009
The house was so beautiful! The pictures do not do it justice, it is much bigger than I had thought, we had 7 people and fit very comfortably in the home. We would have loved to stay longer, had a wonderful time and hope to return!

Owner's Response: Thanks so much for the great review! You are correct, in that its hard to get pictures that show the detail in the home and the spaciousness of it. When we had the recent remodel performed, we actually hired carpenters to do the work, so all of the molding in the home (except the crown) is hand cut and routed...even the shoe molding! And by removing the wall between the living room and dining room, coupled with removing the original ceilings and having them leveled and re-sheet rocked, their 9' height really opens up the entire home. And come back any time, we would love to have you stay with us again!

We recently stayed in this house with our two shelties and it was perfect. It was because of the fenced in yards that we chose this house. Even if we don't have our dogs with us it would be a great vacation home and such a nice feeling immediately walking in through the front door. We enjoyed the closeness to the river front and not too far from the beach. The hammock in the backyard was a pleasant surprise and many wonderful hours were spent laying and just being lazy. Thank you for letting us share your beautiful home and we look forward to visiting again in the near future.

Relaxing 5 Days

5 of 5

A friend and I decided to get out of town for 5 days around New Years. We found this little bungalow and it was perfect. The weather was up and down for our stay but the house was so comfortable it really didn't matter. We did a little sightseeing, went to the beach another day and lounged in the house the rest of the time.
I agree with the other reviews, the pictures of this house do it no justice. I was a lot larger than the photos show. The property was very clean and maintained. The manager was very helpful in answering questions.
We went to Front Street Brewery for New Year's Eve which was a lot of fun; low-key but fun. The brewed beer is good and I'm not a Icehouse/Budweiser person.
We also ate at Dock Street Oyster Bar for lunch one day. The seafood is great but there's too much cheese on the food to beware. Riverboat Landing has really good seafood. I was impressed and it takes a lot to impress me with fish meals.
I definitely want to go back to Wilmington when it is warmer but this bungalow is perfect for relaxing.

Wonderful home to stay in

My husband and I came down from NYC for 5 days in Wilmington and we absolutely loved this charming bungalow which is on an equally charming street. My sister and her husband joined us for 2 nights and we spent a lot of time sitting on the porch with our coffee watching the world go by, playing trivial pursuit, and just hanging out. It's very roomy with a large kitchen that includes a small table, the two bedrooms are almost equal in size which is always nice for two couples, and the home was an extremely pleasant place to come at the end of our days. The home was very clean, the owners very responsive - all that we could have asked her. I highly recommend staying here if you are coming to the Wilmington area.

We truly enjoyed our stay in this cute home. Clean, Spacious, comfortable, with high quality towels & linens provided - we were sorry we were only there for 2 nights! Great spot out of the usual beach/tourist/crowded areas - but walking distance to downtown - and within close distance to beach by car - we would stay here again & highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area. Thanks for making our stay a pleasant one!
