Beautiful Pet Friendly Property
We stayed three nights with our adult daughter and two dogs and this was a perfect pet friendly place! Great location for walking to downtown restaurants and venues. For us, the ease of walking our dogs in the church yard next door or around the block was great. The property is beautifully decorated, comfortable, and well-socked with most anything you will need.

Wonderful Location, Amenities & Hosts
Our hosts Wayne & Bobby were excellent. They created a very friendly environment for us and our little dogs. The amenities were new and it felt like they had thought of everything someone staying there could need. It was an absolute delight to stay there. Our only regret is that we didn’t have enough time to finish the butterfly coloring book/guestbook. The location was perfect for walking our dogs, walking to the historic riverfront area or just walking around in general to take in the beautiful neighborhood. Will plan on staying there again next time we come to Wilmington.

Butterfly hideaway was perfect to explore Wilmington downtown!
We stayed at the Butterfly Hideaway in late August as a way to test out the potential of being digital nomads in Wilmington, NC. The carriage house was perfect! Every detail was better than advertised. All that was needed for our 10-day stay, even down to the coffee pods for the Keurig and the Coffee mate creamer were available to us. The hosts, Wayne and Bobby were absolutely wonderful and welcoming. They were quick to respond to any questions, and super helpful in local details. We enjoyed many recommendations including Terra Sol Yoga (5 min walk) and Castle Street Kitchen for dinner (5 min walk). Overall, great VRBO and would highly recommend for anyone interested in a great in Wilmington!

We were visiting to attend 2 concerts in Wilmington and really enjoyed our stay! The place was modern, well decorated and had all the essentials we needed. I loved having lots of coffee pods to try and the candy was a nice treat! Thanks for having beach chairs available; we used them for a day trip to Wrightsville beach. We would definitely stay here again!

It was our first time visiting Wilmington so we weren’t familiar with where to stay, I can tell you we will be back and booking this home again. Spotless, well appointed with everything you need. Within walking distance to food and activities and the hosts are amazing. It was just what we needed from a weekend away!

Wilmington butterfly retreat
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at the Butterfly Retreat. It was comfortable, immaculate, andlocated in a very convenient and walkable location to downtown Wilmington activities. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful and in the room had a binder filled with suggestions for local recommended restaurants and things to do while visiting. It was more like someone’s personal home rather than a temporary accommodation. Highly recommended.

Perfect spot in Wilmington!
This is a wonderful property with great hosts. It is comfortable and well appointed. The location is convenient to local attractions. Close enough to walk to the historic downtown or waterfront but far enough away to keep parking simple. The carriage house is clean, modern and quiet. It was perfect for us and our pup. The bed is so comfortable we asked the hosts for brand/model. We definitely recommend and would stay here again if we visit Wilmington.

Absolutely loved our stay at this charming one-bedroom in historic Wilmington! The location is simply unbeatable—just four blocks from the beautiful riverfront, making it easy to enjoy lovely walks and fantastic dining options. Nestled in a wonderful neighborhood, the area felt safe and welcoming throughout our stay. The hosts were exceptionally wonderful, going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Their hospitality truly made our experience memorable. The unit itself was immaculate, well-stocked with all the essentials, and perfectly cozy. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to call home during our visit. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking to explore Wilmington. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back!
