About this Property

  • Sleeps 8
  • 3 Bedrooms
  • 3 Bathrooms
  • Private vacation home
  • Approximately 2000 square feet

Modern amenities abound in this inviting home within Wilmington's fantastic historic district!

Thoughtfully designed to entertain.

Generous, shady backyard, and just 1-3 blocks away from some of the best eateries, antique stores, wine bar, and yoga studio in the city.

Just 8 blocks (about a 15 min. walk) to the Riverwalk!

Savor the sizable backyard calming about under the towering oak trees in Adirondack chairs. Close to all the best Wilmington offers.

The space
Entire experience is designed to make working from home a breeze.

The cavernous primary bedroom suite features a king bed with a plush pillowtop bed, walk-in shower, and a desk so folks can work and take calls/meetings in private.

The front bedroom has a queen bed with a plush pillowtop as well.

The third bedroom features two twin beds with memory foam beds.

The home works really well for six people, but we do allow up to 8 people to stay, with the understanding that the people beyond six guests will have to sleep on twin air beds. We have two twin air beds, with linens, that are available for guests to use. The air beds include a self-contained air pump, so no worries about blowing them up. However, guests must request the air beds be available and the guests will be responsible for inflating the air beds and making the beds.

Fast internet is powered by AT&T fiber, with speed up to 1 GB per second.

The refrigerator does not have a water dispenser or ice maker. We have a Brita water pitcher inside the refrigerator and ice cube trays.

Off-street parking is available, but on-street parking is rarely an issue, since St. Luke's Church takes up the block across the street. Off-street parking shared between guests staying in the main home and guests staying in the bungalow.

The serene backyard is huge for a downtown home and is shaded by towering oaks throughout most of the day. The backyard is shared with guests who may be staying in the bungalow behind the main home.

Robert Strange Park, the biggest park in downtown Wilmington, is a half-block away, with a public swimming pool, one baseball and 2 softball fields, basketball courts, in addition to 6 tennis/pickleball courts.

A big backyard awaits, incredible for an intimate gathering of family and friends.

Unused electrical outlets have covers and we are focused on making the home "kid friendly" as possible. However, we cannot assure the home is "kid proof", and guests accept full responsibility for any accidents/injuries.

We have a Graco Pack N Play Rock N Grow Playard available. It's one of the best pack n plays available and retails for about $300. Just let us know if you need it during your stay, and we will make it available.

Substantial Roku TVs available in living room and primary bedroom suite.

Plenty of off-street parking available (3 spaces), with complimentary parking on the street. Off-street parking is shared with guests who may be staying in the bungalow behind the main home.

Distances:
Wrightsville Beach - 20-min. drive
Novant Health New Hanover Regional Medical Center - 2.6 miles
EUE / Screen Gems Studios - 2.7 miles

The walkability of this home is simply spectacular:
Riverwalk - 15-min. walk
1/2 block to Robert Strange Park
1 block to Castle Street Art and Antiques District
1 block to Wilmington Wine Bar/Store
1 block to Gravity Record Store
2 blocks to Luna Cafe
2 blocks to Jester's Cafe
2 blocks to Terra Sol Yoga Studio
2 blocks to Rx Restaurant and Bar
2 blocks to Michael Moore Antiques
5 blocks to Cape Fear Museum of History and Science
6 blocks to the Soda Pop District
7 blocks to Wilmington Riverwalk with striking eateries, stores and entertainment opportunities
7 blocks to the Kids's Museum of Wilmington
8 blocks to the Museum of the Bizarre

Guest access
You will appreciate sole access to the whole 2,000 square foot home, bespoke shower in primary bedroom suite.

Access to front door of home controlled by Schlage Encode lock, which assigns a specific pin for the duration of your stay (no keys!).

The fenced-in backyard is shared with the guests of a modest bungalow/ADU in the rear of the home.

Other things to note
We want to share our home with people who respect others.

Not kid friendly.

We have a strict no event rule. This is out of respect for the home and for our neighbors.

If noise levels, or other behaviors, force neighbors to contact the police, and if the police validate a nuisance/illegal activity has occurred, guests may be subject to a $500 penalty, to be assessed at the sole discretion of the host.

Rental booking tips:

When to visit Wilmington & When to reserve a Cape Fear area rental home:

  • June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Wilmington. To find the best vacation home within budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Cape Fear area attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
  • The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
  • Some property managers offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
  • Property management companies typically offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
  • Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose and book the perfectrental:

  • Select vacation week and spending budget.
  • Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. Downtown Luxury: King Suite - Riverwalk\/Castle St! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
  • Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your family.
  • Does your family require particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
  • Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
  • If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Considerations for your stay:

  • Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
  • Upon arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
  • Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many issues.
  • Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local scenic spots.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
  • Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
  • Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
  • Did your group have a excellent vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.

Victory Beach Vacations

Visitors who are on the hunt for the postcard-perfect vacation rental in the heart of the Carolina Beach or Kure Beach area will find an enticing selection and plenty of friendly customer service when they rent through Victory Beach Vacations. Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott.   For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.”   Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor. Choose from luxury oceanfront houses and condos to more reasonbly priced 2nd row properties with oceanviews. Many properties include pools and hot tubs as well, perfect for outdoor entertaining, and many are dog friendly.   Lanier also notes that all properties are within walking or driving distance to Pleasure Island’s main attractions – Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches. See for yourself by scanning the QR code and call Victory Beach Vacations at 910.458.0868 to book your Cape Fear getaway. Start making your memories today! —Grace Silipigni
