The Palm is the broad main floor of a fabulous old Victorian home that was duplexed long ago and has evolved throughout the years.

If you're looking for new and ideal, this is not it—it’s a cool old home in a unique location. The Palm is an early 1900s Victorian home in a cozy, historic neighborhood, just a pleasant walk from eateries, bars, breweries, entertainment, museums, historic walking tours, and the riverfront. Parking is complimentary, painless, and ample on the street in front of the home.

Note: The neighbor upstairs has two dogs, and you may occasionally hear them walking around at nighttime or early in the morning. If you're a light sleeper, please keep this in mind.

Guests will have access to the entire lower-level floor and a private entrance. We are here if you need us, invisible if you don’t. Check-in anytime with the keypad lock and start calming!

How to get the best vacation rental experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental home:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Wilmington, NC area. Reserve your Wilmington, NC rental in Fall or Spring months to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable 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 vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.

Booking your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Property management companies sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.

• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. The Palm House *Walk Downtown has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before reserving your home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.

Considerations for your stay:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
