And if you just want to escape and relax, you have private access to the handsome pool getaway right outside your back door. (The pool is not heated and generally too cold to be in from late September through mid-May, but the pool remains open and the pool area can be appreciated year round.)

The historic but completely refreshed home includes a comfortable living room, a dining room that seats eight, a well-equipped kitchen, and a enormous back deck. 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 drinks in the evening, as well as a great place to soak up the sun or lounge in the shade!

All of historic downtown Wilmington is an simple walk from the home. There is off-street parking for two cars. All linens and towels are supplied, including pool and beach towels.

This home is not only in a prime location to savor 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.

Please note that we are no longer able to accommodate family pets in our home.

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.

Tricks and tips to get the best vacation property experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Wilmington rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best value, consider changing your family's Cape Fear area trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.

• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Have a great stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from 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.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
