There is a collapsible dining table and four folding chairs in addition to the four breakfast bar chairs. The bedroom has a twin daybed with a trundle as well as a desk for a dedicated working area. The trundle can be raised flush with the daybed to make one bigger bed rather than two twin beds.

Note that the master bedroom sits directly above the bedroom of the other unit in the duplex, so please refrain from loud noises or heavy footsteps!

How to find the best vacation home experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Summertime is high season in Wilmington. To get the best value, change your family's Cape Fear area vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation 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.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Make a plan and pick yourrental:

• Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Downtown Escape - 5 blocks to Riverwalk has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property management company before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips for your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Note any issues with the property at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
