The neighborhood Ardmore was one of Wilmington’s first “streetcar suburbs” in the 1920s and today is considered to be on the edge of Downtown Wilmington. Like the adjoining Carolina Place, Ardmore is made up of modest bungalows with peaceful streets, well-tended gardens and sidewalks made for walking. Nearly every home has a front porch. Our home is just steps from a modest playground, and a ten-min. walk to a bigger, freshly-refreshed playground in Wallace Park. Wilmington’s vibrant and growing Cargo District is only 10 mins. by foot, with dozens of trendy eateries, bars and coffee stores. It takes less than 10 mins. to drive or 30 mins. to walk to the historic downtown and the pretty Wilmington Riverwalk, and to the growing Soda Pop District. Southeastern NC is home to some of the country’s best beaches, and Wilmington sits right in the middle. Family-friendly Wrightsville Beach is a 15-min. drive from the home. Carolina Beach, with its historic boardwalk, is only 30 mins. away, and numerous beautiful beaches in Brunswick and Pender counties can be reached in less than an hour. We’ve supplied the home with plenty of information about beaches, parks, historical tours and everything else this region and city have to offer. You’ll also find a list of some of our favorite places to eat and drink, and a walking map to guide you to some of our close-by favorites. You will appreciate this casual, family-friendly home in one of America’s best cities. Feel complimentary to ask any questions. Because we live out of state when not living on Nun Street, you are more likely to hear from our phenomenal property manager, Christina, who will also be available to attend to any issues during your stay. Sorry but no family pets and no home events.
