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!

Perfect for a couple!
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.

Highly recommend this gem 🦋✨
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!

This is my new go to stay when in Wilmington. I travel here for work and this is such a great place to stay over the local hotels. Clean and all the amenities of home. Quiet and private. Plus you can walk to a lot of the downtown scene. After the first night, I booked it again for my next visit. Highly recommend!

Butterfly Hideaway is WONDERFUL!
My husband and I don't get away much with two toddlers at home but we came to Wilmington last weekend for a wedding. Never having been there before, we did not know too much about the town. Bobby and Wayne were phenomenal hosts. Their welcome package had ALL of the information you could ever need about the area. We kept going back to it like a good book! The place itself was immaculate. My husband kept saying "They have thought of everything for this place!" And they truly have. Perfect location. Perfect scenery. Perfectly quiet, much different than our life at home haha! We loved it so much and absolutely will be back! Oh my goodness, I also must add that when I was securing this reservation - I did not realize that I was logged into an old VRBO account with an email I can no longer access. I called VRBO and reached out to Wayne, he was on the phone with them for I don't even know how long but got them to switch my reservation over to this new email without having to cancel, wait for a refund and then secure it under the right account. Truly an angel. Thank you so much for having us Bobby and Wayne! You have created something beautiful and we are so lucky you shared it with us. Stay here, you won't regret it!

Great Place and area!!
The place is really cute and was very well appointed and clean. It is in a safe historic area and easy walk to a coffee house and breakfast places. Wayne welcomed us warmly and was available if we needed any help or info. Otherwise it was a very private separate carriage house from the main house. Our only suggestion is a small step to help get into the bed which is high for short people : )
