About this property

Bleu Haven | Historic Downtown Wilmington | Full Private Home, Location, Comfort

Welcome to our Comfortable Historic District home, just 3 short blocks to all the best that Wilmington has to offer. You get the best of both worlds - a short walk to the riverwalk, great restaurants, bars, and wedding venues - but with a comfortable quiet neighborhood vibe.

Fully equipped to accommodate your perfect visit to downtown Wilmington, NC. Immerse yourself in the rich culture and history of downtown. Short 15-25 minute drives to the best beaches NC has to offer.

This property is a private full home as one side of a side-by-side duplex, offering rare amenities for Downtown Wilmington including great parking and driveway, private fenced-in backyard area with adirondack chairs, wraparound front porch with rockers. You will not find many properties or rentals downtown with amenities like this.

On the main floor, walk in to a refurbished, fresh, and clean space designed for comfort and relaxation. Brand new kitchen remodel with coffee bar, cooking necessities, door to access the back yard and more. Comfortable living room with new smart TV offering the most popular streaming services and select cable channels. Fast >200mbps WiFi. Clean and fresh powder room.

Upstairs has 2 large bedrooms, one featuring a large comfortable king bed, and the second with a queen and double bed. Perfect fit for a family, group of couples or group of friends. Full bathroom/shower upstairs. Impressive new shower renovation.

The biggest attraction to this home is the level of comfort/amenities offered in a full home close to downtown. Located on Dock St, this is as central as it gets. Walk 3-4 blocks to downtown, and one more to the Riverwalk. Incredible location for a Downtown Wilmington visit. You will struggle to find a reason to drive or Uber anywhere during a stay here.

Downtown Wilmington is special in that it offers a rich history, fun vibe and culture - but is also a coastal town. A 15-20 minute drive gets you to the best beaches NC has to offer, including Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach. There is no shortage of fun activities!

Charming, authentic & current!

Lovely home in the historic district that will make you feel you are immersed in life in Wilmington. Easy walking distance to several mansions that are available to tour. A little further to the waterfront, but certainly walkable. The house is well equipped so you don't need to bring a lot of small household items. Great towels and great stall shower!

Wonderful home near Historical district

I loved this home. Very clean and well organized. It is walking distance to the Historical district and river walk. The kitchen is well stocked and has most of what you will need to cook if you so choose to eat in. The front porch is nice to relax in the evening. Will stay here again if we are in the area!

A great place to stay

My husband and I took our two grandkids to visit the beach and while we were there, I got to see my sister and brother in law. The property was great! We were in walking distance to the Riverwalk and 15 minutes from the beach. We had a ball. The little extras that we borrowed was so convenient (tanning spray, cooler tote for the beach, etc) I will definitely book again and again!

Cute, well stocked home

This property is really cute and clean. It is one side of a duplex. It is well updated and very well stocked (shampoo, conditioner, soap, coffee pods, sugar, spices, condiments, etc). We loved that it is updated and we enjoyed both the front porch rockers and the back yard Adirondack chairs. The beds were good and the house was well kept. The neighborhood seemed safe. The bedrooms are upstairs and there is a small section of the stairs with no railing, which is something to consider if stairs are a challenge (we traveled with seniors). There is parking here, but the driveway is so narrow that it’s hard to even open the car doors. We just loaded & unloaded near the sidewalk and then pulled in. In this area, it’s just nice to have off-street parking! We enjoyed our stay and were very happy with the condition of the house and the amenities. We’d stay here again & recommend it to other!

Quaint neighborhood with lots of interesting architecture

We enjoyed our 4 day stay. Easy access to downtown and since we love to walk, it was a beautiful area to do that. Always felt safe. Property was clean and had everything we needed.

Why they chose this property

This area of Downtown Wilmington offers the best of both worlds - a short walk to the riverwalk, coffee, great restaurants, bars, and wedding venues - but with a comfortable quiet neighborhood vibe. Downtown Wilmington is special in that it offers a rich history, fun vibe and culture - but is also a coastal town. A 15-20 minute drive gets you to the best beaches NC has to offer, including Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach. There is no shortage of fun activities!

What makes this property unique

This property was my first personal home; which I have since improved and converted into a place to share with others. This home is what sparked my passion for curating experiences and sharing wonderful spaces with others. Many historic duplexes in the downtown area will be a top-and-bottom style, while this property is well thought-out and very unique as features a side-by-side style, offering many advantages including private separate parking, outdoor areas, deck areas, and no noise up and down. Each side features a private driveway, which is hard to come by downtown where most houses must utilize only street parking. It has a large wrap-around front porch which is relaxing and inviting with multiple rocking chairs. A private back yard area tops it off. You will not find many properties or rentals in Downtown Wilmington with amenities like this.
