About this Property

• Approximately 900 square feet

This beautiful 1800’s Victorian duplex underwent an broad remodel that was finished in summer of 2023. It retains its historic appeal with original wooden doors, a bedroom fireplace (now decorative only), and its location on a peaceful cobblestone street. However, it was thoughtfully modernized with new plumbing, electric, floor, appliances, and light fixtures and is decorated in a timeless style with a nod to its heritage but in no way retro.

This upstairs 2 bedroom 1 bath duplex has tons of windows and natural light. It also includes access to the front porch that has a swing and additional seating and a deck with furnishings that is ideal for appreciating a cup of coffee or a meal. The living room has comfortable seating and a huge Roku intelligent TV. One bedroom has a queen bed, TV, and a view of the cobblestone street. The second smaller bedroom has a twin size bunk bed and intelligent TV. The eat-in kitchen with seating for 4 is outfitted with all new appliances, including a gas stove, dish washer, and washer/dryer laundry center. It includes cookware, dishes, and kitchen basics and includes a coffee bar, bottled water, and some snacks. The bathroom has a tile shower with a glass door.

This duplex is just a stone’s throw to downtown Wilmington, so you can walk to downtown and savor the historic north end of downtown. Off street parking is supplied (modest and mid sized cars only as the driveway is narrow) and there is always plenty of street parking for bigger cars, cars pulling a trailer, or additional cars. Only a 30 min. drive to the beaches!

Note that this unit is accessed via a full flight of steps.

Tips and Tricks to get the very best Cape Fear area vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Book your vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Make a plan and pick the best Cape Fear area rental home:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Urban Oasis has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property manager before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the host immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to inspire more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
