Appreciate the appeal of this historic bungalow home. Located among the many attractions of downtown and within an painless 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 adored year round.)

The historic but completely remodeled home includes a comfortable living room, a dining room that seats eight, a well-equipped kitchen, and a huge 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 simple 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.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect Wilmington vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summer months are high season in Wilmington. To get the best rental home for your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain discounts for local tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• To start, have your group agree to trip dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Beautifully restored home in Wilmington Historic District with pool has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before booking the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great time? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
