Wonderful Stay! Highly Recommended
We had a fantastic experience at this property! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean, well-maintained, and beautifully decorated everything was. The location was perfect ā€“ close to local attractions but still quiet and peaceful. We also appreciated the little touches, like extra towels, toiletries, and the variety of board games for a night in. Overall, this property exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable hassle-free getaway.

Great place, location and host!
Our children stayed here with their 2 dogs over Thanksgiving break while we celebrated with family in the area. The carriage house was immaculate, cozy, well stocked and in a great walking distance to downtown and the riverfront area. The host was very gracious to allow earlier check-in and the opportunity to stay a little longer past check out if needed be. I would definitely recommend this property!

Charm, location, and top-notch details!
Charming new construction in a gorgeous historic area, just blocks from the river walk. We loved the space and the location. The neighborhood is quiet, and there are blocks upon blocks of beautiful historic homes to explore. The hosts have thought of all the little details, including a great selection of coffee, microwave popcorn for an afternoon treat, and dog bones for our pup. There's a detailed guest guide with QR codes for local restaurants and bars. We had a fantastic dinner at a local hole-in-the-wall called Savorez, a great lunch at On Thyme, and enjoyed more good-eats along the river walk at the Pilot House and the George. Wayne and Bobby have created an inviting getaway spot to enjoy all that Historic Wilmington has to offer. We look forward to visiting again.

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 didnā€™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!

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 someoneā€™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.
