About this Property

  • Apartment

Tucked in a flower filled garden, the Casita delights with Southwestern - Santa Barbara inspired design. Wilmington and the Casita are ideal all year round. If you are boycotting another short stay travel platform, please note the owner of the Casita, has over 1000, 4.99 star reviews, on that platform and sympathizes with you and offers her property here. Come visit the garden and relax in the hot tub.

The Casita has a darling compact and complete kitchen. It comes equipped with an open window bar featuring a striking bar top crafted from River Cypress, that was reclaimed from the bottom of the Cape Fear River and lovingly restored. I appreciate the secret pocket door that separates the kitchen from the hall way .

In the hallway area, you will find beach equipment (towels, chairs, umbrella and sunblock ).
There is a living room area with a adore seat, coffee table, media shelving and a " fold out to a twin bed" ottoman. The Casita has Intelligent TV. The Casita has a big storage closet and an armoire, to help organize your "new" home.

The bathroom is designed to showcase the rustic Southwestern ambiance and features a bespoke glass shower wall .

The Bedroom area features a Nectar Mattress the Guests rave above and modren duvets and sheets to ensure a restful experience. A black out curtain pulls out from behind the armoire. Historic wooden beams from the Architectural Salvage Store 'Legacy' divide the living area from the bedroom area.

Guests can appreciate the mild beach town climate al fresco on the front patio at the bistro table for breakfast or coffee or on the screened back deck patio with festive string lighting, perhaps while appreciating a glass of wine.

This ground floor apartment is all yours with no shared spaces. You enter on the side of the Casita with a key coded lock entry. My backyard garden is open to you for your enjoyment. Right outside the entry door in the adjacent garden, a four man hot tub is available to guests of the Casita and the Carriage House. A fire table and screen deck are right behind the Casita for open air enjoyment of all 4 seasons.

The Casita is a ground floor apartment and the Carriage House is located above the Casita. Between the two apartments there is a noise diffusing floor underlayment and there is a noise machine and 2 fans, as well as a dehumidifier to ensure that noise does not interfere with your relaxing environment.

The Casita is located in the Princess Place neighborhood along side Burnt Mill Creek. The coastal creek side walk can be accessed off of Princess Place Road behind the Photography Studio. Coastal birds and wildlife abound. Alligators and turtles bask on the opposite bank on warm days. Egrets, Herons, Owls and Anhingas delight bird watchers.

It is a mile and 3/4 to the downtown board walk and Market Street, Chestnut or Princess Street offer a spectacular walking opportunity to those inclined to tour the city on foot. Wrightsville Beach is 7 miles away and is particularly nice off season. Watersport's and land adventures make Wilmington an adventure destination. The weather is rather mild in the winter with the weather falling in the 60's (F) on most days.

Wilmington has a plethora of dining opportunities from local seafood to ethnic cuisine. Wilmington has also become well known for its coffee stores and breweries. I appreciate the Ghost tours downtown, so much history in addition to digging up the past ! Antiques shoppers adore Castle Street. If you can work from home or are happily retired there is no reason to suffer through ice and snow when you an savor all Wilmington has to offer and the Casita warmly welcomes you.

The Casita was designed in 2022 and reclaimed materials were used predominantly. The host has over 8 years experience and has 1000 +reviews with a 4.99 star rating on another fashionable short term rental website, that some are boycotting. Interested in a long term rental? I am retired from a medical research career and live with my 5 cats and French Bull Dog Gomez in the main home, on the property, and happily assist the guests with recommendations and any questions . I happy to discuss prices that would be cost effective and mutually beneficial.

How to get the best Wilmington rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

  • Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the most suitable rental home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
  • In the Cape Fear area area, The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
  • Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
  • Property managers usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
  • Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area travel guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to select the perfect rental home:

  • Select a designated group leader, choose your dates, and choose a spending budget.
  • Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Casita Welcomes Guests, Year Round in Wilmington. Booking now for Next Winter! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
  • Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
  • Visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
  • Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
  • Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your contract.

During your stay:

  • Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
  • Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
  • Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
  • Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
  • Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
  • At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Inspect the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
  • Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to inspire future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve 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.
