The space
Remodeled Sept 2020 - All of our creativity and appreciate went into making The Aether a unique and opulent hideaway. We decided to create a twist on the port city feel by making it Steampunk influenced. From the portholes, to the ships galley designed with up-cycled furnishings, we created The Aether.

Guest access
The condo is yours to appreciate, there are coin laundry machines located across the hallway. There is an elevator, but it is sometimes out of service.
Other things to note
The condo faces Front Street which is great for people watching and festivals, it may get noisy at nighttime, definitely on Friday and Saturdays. We added thick cellular blinds and heavy black out draperies when we refreshed, and provide complimentary ear plugs for your comfort if needed. :-)

There is an elevator, I can NOT guarantee it will be working during your stay as it is original to the building and prone to being cranky. The condo is on the 2nd floor, there are granite stairs.

We pay for monthly parking in a public garage, with pedestrian access across the street from our building.

Booking the best Wilmington vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Summertime is high season in Wilmington. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide 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, visitors guides have offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

How to choose and book your prefectrental home:

• To start, have your family select trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. The Aether - Luxe King -1 BLK 2 RVR- Free PKG has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.

Some things to know before you go:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peace. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
