Positioned above one of the area's favorite local breweries, it is the perfect destination for active vacationers seeking a chance to explore everything that Wilmington has to offer (all just in time for you to catch the sun set over the Cape Fear river... ).


The Space
Welcome to your modern coastal escape — a bright, open-concept loft designed for comfort, relaxation, and style. Just steps above the heart of downtown Wilmington, this 2-bedroom, 2- bath retreat blends modern design with coastal southern charm, offering the perfect getaway for families, couples, or small groups exploring the Port City.

Step inside and you’ll be greeted by soaring ceilings, a kitchen/living/dining area encased in windows, and a seamless flow between the social areas. The fully equipped kitchen features brand new appliances, modern finishes, and everything you need to cook or entertain during your stay. Unwind in the airy living room, where natural light floods the space, or treat yourself to a cocktail at the mini bar while you get ready for an evening out on the waterfront.


Bedrooms & Baths
• Primary Suite: King bed with plush European linen sheets, ensuite bath with walk-in shower
• Second Bedroom: Queen bed, cozy bohemian accents, and easy access to the second full bath with walk-in shower.
• There is also a pull-out Queen sofa bed, should your group require an additional sleeping area in the living room.

Located just steps from the Riverwalk, you’ll be within walking distance of boutique shops, award-winning restaurants, popular wedding venues, and local breweries. Take a stroll along the Cape Fear River, catch live music on Front Street, or drive just 15 minutes to Wrightsville Beach for a day in the sun.

Whether you’re here to surf the beaches, explore downtown, attend an event, or simply unwind, this loft offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and historic charm.
