About this bed and breakfast
Overview:
Keep it simple at this peaceful and centrally-located carriage house in the heart of historic Wilmington. Recently constructed, clean and tastefully designed in a quiet area just 4 walkable blocks from the river and all that downtown has to offer. Nestled under a giant Live Oak, this cozy studio will make you feel like you're staying in a treehouse. Included is an efficiency kitchenette, full bath, high-speed WIFI, 60" flat screen TV w/ streaming, premium bedding and packed with other essentials.
Location:
The newly built guest house is in the historic district of downtown Wilmington which allows you the modern conveniences inside while taking a stroll through the past outside. Set behind the main home on a street lined with Live Oaks, Palm Trees, Jasmine, Oleander and Azaleas, it includes a studio floorplan with a full bath and kitchenette. The property is within the historic district boundaries, so guests immediately take a step back in time once outside with many of the local houses dating back to the early-mid 19th Century.
Access:
Full access to carriage house for duration of stay. Contact-free, keyless entry ensures you can come and go as you please with no need to worry about keys.
Local Attractions:
The property is 2 blocks from the Castle Street Arts District and 4 blocks from the famous Wilmington Riverwalk, restaurants and bars. 15 minute drive from Wrightsville Beach and 25 minute drive from Carolina Beach.

Look no further! The Yak Shack was perfect for our stay in Wilmington. Very comfortable, private, and so close (yet just far enough away to be quiet) to the waterfront and many restaurants. Ryan and Brittany are wonderful hosts- great communication throughout and lots of nice touches in the Yak Shack. We will stay again. Thank you Ryan and Brittany!

We had an awesome stay at the Yak Shack for a visit to Wilmington for music and a show. Our room was comfortable, cozy and clean. The space was great, and the neighborhood was quiet. The riverfront walkway was close by for a walk and places to eat and it was a convenient drive to the Wilson center for our show.

The Yak Shack was perfect for a weekend in Wilmington. The location in the historic district is perfect to walk to Water Street and enjoy the river front and Front street with great restaurants and night life. Right around the corner is the fun and hip Castle Street with restaurants, cafes, and vintage shops. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated with a king sized bed, lovely bathroom, and everything you could need for your stay. The hosts, Brittany and Ryan were very friendly responsive to questions. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to our friends and family.
