The Salty Peach, a haven for two in the heart of Wilmington, NC. This chic studio harmonizes comfort and style for an memorable stay. Step into our inviting sitting space, a comfortable sanctuary beckoning you to relax after soaking up the sun on the beach or immersing yourself in the vibrant energy of downtown. Our thoughtfully equipped kitchen awaits, boasting modern amenities and essentials like coffee pods, creamer,& sugar. Drift off to sleep in the plush king bed & rejuvenate in the ensuite shower.

You'll have access to the guest unit and the sitting area out front. The backyard is a shared space with the "cowboy pool" and my two dogs, Hamilton and Boitano.

While I live on the property in the other unit with my two dogs, we keep to ourselves. We will give a hello if we see you, but it is possible we will never encounter each other. My dogs will try to convince you to let them visit you, but I prefer to keep the guest unit pet-complimentary.

The Salty Peach is located in the middle of town making getting to the beach or downtown simple with a 4-6 miles/ 10-15 min drive. Also close by you can find- the mall, access to the River to Sea Bikeway/ walking path, coffee stores, and Reggie's.

Parking for two cars is available in the driveway section on the right side of the home. Please do not block the driveway entry/exit.

While there is central AC and heating in the entire home, there are no AC/ heat controls in the guest unit. The unit has a space heater, ceiling fan, and portable fan for those who would like to adjust the temperature slightly. If you reach out to me between 7 am- 8 pm then I would be glad to make adjustments to the central controls within reason. My goal is for you to be cozy!

Finding the best rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are high season in Wilmington. Book your rental in Fall or Spring months to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Wilmington, NC area travel guides which include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and choose your prefect Wilmington, NC vacation home:

• First, have your group select date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. The Salty Peach, A Sweet Retreat has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you book the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect your property!
• Record any damages to the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean 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.
• Did you have a great time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
