The two bedrooms each have their own en suite bathrooms with walk-in showers. Additional sleeping is available on the fold-out couch in the living room. The front porch, deck, courtyard, and private pool areas offer great outdoor space for appreciating coffee in the morning and beverages in the evening, as well as a great place to soak up the sun or lounge in the shade!

This home is not only in a prime location to appreciate Wilmington, but has everything you need to make for a calming hideaway!

Because of the outdoor space, guests often want to invite others over to join them. Modest gatherings are allowed, but we ask that you inform us first if anyone not staying at the home is coming over. The home is in a residential neighborhood and we ask that our guests be courteous of our neighbors. Therefore, we don’t allow groups of more than 12 and ask hosts to monitor noise levels, particularly after 9:00pm.

The number of family pets allowed is limited to one well-behaved pet. We live right next door to the property, so if you have any needs or questions while you are staying, we are very easy to reach.

Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain offers and deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing the perfect rental in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Start by selecting a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Beautifully restored home in Wilmington Historic District with pool has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible online. If not, reach out to the property manager before booking the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect your property!
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
