Historic appeal abounds in this turn-of-the-century arts and crafts era home located on a peaceful one-way brick lined street in Downtown Wilmington. Boasting 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, 2 half baths, 3 covered porches, and a private backyard, this historic gem is ideal for families, friends, and old home lovers. This home was modernized over the course of numerous years with emphasis on restoring and preserving the original details. The big pocket doors which separate the living room and dining room are completely functional. Fireplaces throughout the home are non-functional but boast striking surrounds and mantles. The original woodwork and trim are throughout and the original wood floor was restored. With a new living room couch, chandeliers, period correct furnishings like handsome armoires and desks, and some windows with wavy glass give them home a gorgeous vintage feel.

The appealing neighborhood is full of meticulously restored historic homes and the short walk to the riverwalk and other destinations in the heart of downtown is a very pleasant one. The neighbors are friendly and often seen appreciating the evening air from their porches with a glass of wine.

All of the common spaces are on the first floor, from the front covered porch to the living room, dining room, kitchen, and covered back porch. The 3 bedrooms are on the 2nd floor up a flight of stairs. All of the bedrooms have new comfortable beds and bed protectors and have room darkening window treatments. The front bedroom which would have initially been the nursery is a modest bedroom with a queen bed. The middle bedroom is bigger and has a California King bed. The back bedroom is huge and has a king bed and its own private covered porch with lounge chairs.

The kitchen is entirely modernized and refreshed, with new cabinets, new countertops, a dishwasher, and a gas stove. It is completely supplied with cookware, flatware, dishes, and cooking basics. It also has a vintage desk for work or additional prep space.

The dining room table seats 6, has a handsome cabinet with wavy glass, a non-functioning decorative fireplace and mantle, a chandelier, and accesses the back covered porch.

The living room has a new couch, other period correct furnishings, a cute table that is ideal for snacks like a charcuterie board, a non functioning fire place, sizable vintage oriental rug, and TV.

The backyard is sizable and private.

Street parking is complimentary and usually very plentiful.

Tricks and tips to get the optimal rental home experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

  • The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
  • Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the best value, consider changing your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
  • Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
  • Property managers usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
  • Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guides that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Finding the perfect vacation rental in Wilmington:

  • To start, have your group choose vacation dates and a budget.
  • Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Going to Carolina! Historic Downtown Wilmington has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
  • Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before you reserve the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what is right for your trip.
  • Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.
  • If there's an individual Cape Fear area destination you long to visit, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
  • Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for your stay:

  • Add the host's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
  • Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
  • Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
  • Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute arises.
  • Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
  • Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
  • Leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to inspire future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.

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.
