Stay in historic downtown with your fuzzy loved one!

Why stay at the Butterfly Hideaway?

We’re a Premiere Host on VRBO!

It’s tastefully decorated with premium bedding and all the conveniences of home. We've included everything to make your stay more enjoyable in the Historic District of Wilmington North Carolia. Plus, dog-friendly! As dog-parents, we understand the challenges of finding pet-friendly travel accommodations, especially for large dogs. So, we wanted to create a space that was welcoming of the entire family, including your fur baby!

Located beneath the live oaks of historic downtown Wilmington, above a bed of butterfly bushes and jasmine, this newer 1 bedroom 1 bath carriage house apartment is 4 blocks from the Cape Fear riverwalk and 2 blocks to the Castle Street Arts District, located on a quiet block, and convenient to all local attractions. This well-appointed carriage house unit features a 55" flat screen TV with streaming apps, high speed Wi-Fi, full kitchen with dishwasher, Keurig with complimentary coffee, dining area, premium bedding, and all the essentials for a comfortable stay. Living room includes a pull-out queen sofa bed with comfortable memory foam mattress and stocked with board games and puzzles. Located behind the main home, the upstairs carriage house apartment has contact-free, keyless access. Wake up to beautiful views of church steeples before exploring the historic district with wonderful restaurants, craft breweries, and antique dealers, or venturing out to nearby beaches and wineries (stocked with beach towels and chairs). And bonus - the apartment is dog friendly for bringing along your fur baby! Whether you are visiting for concerts at Live Oak Pavilion, one of many local arts or craft festivals, a show at the Wilson Center or Historic Thalian Hall, a wedding or family reunion, or a weekend getaway, this is the place for you! Park the car and enjoy all of walkable downtown Wilmington and the Historic District.
