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 adore 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 fresh 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 calming 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 appreciate 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 trendy 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.

Rental property booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in the Brunswick area area. To get the best value, change your family's Brunswick area vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have discounts for local tours and attractions.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of problems.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Make a record of any damages to the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if a dispute is filed.
• Be respectful. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually 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 on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on good ratings to drive new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
