Located right downtown in a handsome historic row of mansions, you'll find this condo has old world charm paired with modern amenities. The vintage wood floors, baseboards, decorative non-operating original fireplaces, and other historic details will take you back in time to the 1800's, but the comfortable furnishings, clean ambiance, supplied kitchen, cozy bed, intelligent TV, and wifi meet today's traveler's needs. Recently remodeled by a former New Yorker, this cozy condo captures the Manhattan feel with an open and clean design. The decor and feel brings the NYC 43rd St apartment vibes with the well appreciated historic elements paired with timeless subway tile, chic and jazzy decor, and an uncluttered look. This condo is one of five in a sizable historic home on Front Street.

Your condo is private with a private entrance, and is one of 5 in an striking historic home. You can chill out on the shared front porch or sit outside in backyard on the patio. The 2nd floor balcony is shared with one other condo and accessed through a common area, with great vistas. You'll have access to a shared laundry room with coin operated machines inside. You'll also get one parking pass to park a normal size car or modest pickup behind the home (complimentary parking in downtown Wilmington!!)

This condo is located in arguably the nicest block of Old Wilmington's historic mansion district. The architecture around the neighborhood is impressive, with mansions and huge single family homes. Treat yourself to downtown's best.

If you walk out the back door and down the cozy alley driveway to 2nd Street, you'll see block after block of handsome Victorian homes. If you appreciate old homes and turn of the century architecture, be sure to make some time to take it in!

Tips to get the perfect Wilmington vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the perfect vacation home:

• Begin by choosing trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Manhattan on Front! Balcony Park Free! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before reserving your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Wilmington, NC destination you long to visit, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the rental manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on good ratings to stimulate future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
