Container stay review:Our stay in the unique container in the downtown cargo district was enjoyable and so conveniently located. Clean, modern, fresh and comfortable. Walkable to many good places to eat, shop and enjoy. The balcony in the morning was perfect for coffee and relaxation.  I would highly recommend to any couple wanting a nice get away.

Clear and concise communication, easy check in process and the home was exactly what we needed and as represented. Area is great with different restaurants and bars (Fermental has some interesting brews on tap, changed from one day to another). Would stay again.

Great Experience!

This was such a unique experience! The place was beautifully designed and great location. The Cargo District was so fun, we did a pottery class at Bookworm Pottery! It's close to the beach - which we did as well! Also, close to the downtown Wilmington Riverfront -- where we had an amazing dinner watching the sunset. Overall great experience, host is super responsive and property is one of kind!
