Historic appeal abounds in this turn-of-the-century arts and crafts era home located on a peaceful one-way brick lined street in Downtown Wilmington. Boasting 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, 2 half baths, 3 covered porches, and a private backyard, this historic gem is ideal for families, friends, and old home lovers. This home was remodeled over the course of numerous years with emphasis on restoring and preserving the original details. The big pocket doors which separate the living room and dining room are entirely functional. Fireplaces throughout the home are non-functional but boast gorgeous surrounds and mantles. The original woodwork and trim are throughout and the original wood floor was restored. With a new living room couch, chandeliers, period correct furnishings like beautiful armoires and desks, and some windows with wavy glass give them home a alluring vintage feel.

The beautiful neighborhood is full of meticulously restored historic homes and the short walk to the riverwalk and other destinations in the heart of downtown is a very pleasant one. The neighbors are friendly and often seen appreciating the evening air from their porches with a glass of wine.

All of the common spaces are on the first floor, from the front covered porch to the living room, dining room, kitchen, and covered back porch. The 3 bedrooms are on the 2nd floor up a flight of stairs. All of the bedrooms have new comfortable beds and bed protectors and have room darkening window treatments. The front bedroom which would have initially been the nursery is a modest bedroom with a queen bed. The middle bedroom is bigger and has a California King bed. The back bedroom is sizable and has a king bed and its own private covered porch with lounge chairs.

The kitchen is completely modernized and refreshed, with new cabinets, new countertops, a dishwasher, and a gas stove. It is completely outfitted with cookware, flatware, dishes, and cooking basics. It also has a vintage desk for work or additional prep space.

The dining room table seats 6, has a handsome cabinet with wavy glass, a non-functioning decorative fireplace and mantle, a chandelier, and accesses the back covered porch.

The living room has a new couch, other period correct furnishings, a cute table that is ideal for snacks like a charcuterie board, a non functioning fire place, huge vintage oriental rug, and TV.

The backyard is sizable and private.

Street parking is complimentary and usually very plentiful.

Vacation rental home tips:

Getting the best value:

  • Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • Summer months are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the most suitable rental home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
  • Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
  • Property managers usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
  • Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Filter your rental search:

  • Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and select a budget.
  • Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Going to Carolina! Historic Downtown Wilmington has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
  • Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
  • If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
  • Visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
  • Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Tips for a fantastic stay:

  • Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
  • Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
  • Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would at home.
  • To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the property manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
  • Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific resource to find the best local scenic spots.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
  • Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Go through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
  • Did your family have a terrific time? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.

Victory Beach Vacations

Visitors who are on the hunt for the postcard-perfect vacation rental in the heart of the Carolina Beach or Kure Beach area will find an enticing selection and plenty of friendly customer service when they rent through Victory Beach Vacations. Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott.   For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.”   Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor. Choose from luxury oceanfront houses and condos to more reasonbly priced 2nd row properties with oceanviews. Many properties include pools and hot tubs as well, perfect for outdoor entertaining, and many are dog friendly.   Lanier also notes that all properties are within walking or driving distance to Pleasure Island’s main attractions – Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.
