Efficiently and tastefully designed with high-quality amenities. The location in the historic district was beautiful. We really enjoyed walking the neighborhood. It was an easy walk to the riverfront, and just a short drive to Wrightsville Beach. Highly recommend!

Great Hideaway

We had a great 4-night stay at Butterfly Hideaway. The neighborhood is very quiet but close to restaurants, stores, the riverfront and historical sites. We found this place perfect for us and our little dog. Would stay again if we’re in Wilmington again.
