The space
Our home was constructed in 1860 and we have just done a complete remodel converting it back in to a single family residence (it has been a law office for the last 40 years). The open kitchen and living room are unique to a home from this era. Plenty of room for a family gathering. 2 Master bedrooms. One on each floor. Each has its own private bathroom. A "Kid" bedroom has 2 bunk beds, one with a double bed and the other with a full size bed trundle. It also has a sleeper couch. A great home for a family reunion, bridal event, college reunion, or two couples with their kids. There is also futon (and an option for an air bed) in the downstairs front library if your group needs more space.
Original Heart Pine floors throughout.

How to get the best vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Wilmington. To find the best vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Wilmington, NC attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Filter your search:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. 1860 House In the Heart of Downtown has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before booking the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what configuration is optimal for your group.
• If there's an individual Wilmington, NC beach you crave, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or might be applied to your contract.

Advice for a great stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the host immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Be respectful. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to compel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
