Thoughtfully designed to entertain.

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, outstanding 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.

Enormous 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.

Other things to note

Not kid friendly.

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

Tips for getting the perfect Wilmington vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in Wilmington. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick 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.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitor guides which will include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Filter your rental search:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Downtown Luxury: King Suite - Riverwalk\/Castle St! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• During arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on good reviews to compel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
