Appreciate the appeal of this historic bungalow home. Located among the many attractions of downtown and within an simple drive to the beaches, this historic yet modern home makes for the ideal spot to savor everything Wilmington has to offer. And if you just want to escape and relax, you have private access to the handsome pool getaway right outside your back door. (The pool is not heated and generally too cold to be in from late September through mid-May, but the pool remains open and the pool area can be appreciated year round.)

The historic but completely refreshed home includes a comfortable living room, a dining room that seats eight, a well-equipped kitchen, and a enormous back deck. The two bedrooms each have their own en suite bathrooms with walk-in showers. Additional sleeping is available on the fold-out couch in the living room. The front porch, deck, courtyard, and private pool areas offer great outdoor space for appreciating coffee in the morning and beverages in the evening, as well as a great place to soak up the sun or lounge in the shade!

All of historic downtown Wilmington is an painless walk from the home. There is off-street parking for two cars. All linens and towels are supplied, including pool and beach towels.

This home is not only in a prime location to appreciate Wilmington, but has everything you need to make for a calming hideaway!

Because of the outdoor space, guests often want to invite others over to join them. Modest gatherings are allowed, but we ask that you inform us first if anyone not staying at the home is coming over. The home is in a residential neighborhood and we ask that our guests be courteous of our neighbors. Therefore, we don’t allow groups of more than 12 and ask hosts to monitor noise levels, particularly after 9:00pm.

Please note that we are no longer able to accommodate family pets in our home.

We live right next door to the property, so if you have any needs or questions while you are staying, we are very easy to reach.

How to book the best Wilmington rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Summertime is high season in Wilmington. To get the best vacation home within your budget, we suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Brunswick area attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitor guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the perfect rental in Wilmington:

• Select your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Beautifully restored home in Wilmington Historic District with pool has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Note any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific time? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
