• Check-in time is 4 pm. I will send a keycode to you within 24 hours of your check-in time.

• Check out time is 10 am. Late check outs are not allowed and will result in an additional fee of $100 to be charged against the security deposit.

• Please park your cars in the front yard/driveway of the home. Do NOT drive your cars to the rear of the home or place them on the street.

• No events or third-event vendors are allowed at the home or in the yard during your stay. Respect peaceful hours and please keep noise to a minimum starting at 11 pm.

• Dogs are allowed at our home with a limit of two dogs. We kindly ask that you keep them off of the furnishings. No cats or other animals of any kind are allowed.

• Please pick up after your dog so that our floors and the next guests’ shoes can stay clean. If your dog messes on the floors in the bedrooms or the living room, please wipe the mess up with paper towels and then spray the Bona wood cleaner over the spot. If they mess in the kitchen, please use the 409 cleaner after you have dried up the mess with paper towels.

Also, for the safety of your dog and others please keep your dog on a leash when they are outside.

• Only the guests that have been listed at the time the reservation was made are allowed at the home. If more guests arrive then are listed on the reservation, you will be asked to leave and your deposit will not be returned.

• Please do not bring food or drinks (other than water) in the bedrooms.

• All sheets, pillow cases, bath towels, hand towels, and kitchen towels need to be placed in the laundry bag and left in the living room. Please leave each bedroom’s comforter on top of the bed.

• Please place all dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Do NOT start the dishwasher as our cleaning crew will do so when they arrive.

• Grilling, fire pits, fireworks, candles – really anything that involves fire – is not allowed.

• Please do not access the two outdoor sheds as they are for the hosts only.

In coastal cities waterbugs are prevalent due to the warm, humid climate. We have an exterminator spray the yard and home quarterly, and even more during the summer.

Daydream_Wilmington was constructed in 1954. We, as owners, felt it was important to keep the authentic character of the home (original doors, doorknobs, wood floors, etc) while completing the renovations. Therefore, some doors might not close comfortably, the floors might squeak, or there could be other modest details you notice during your stay that come with an older home. We hope you appreciate the original, vintage vibe of our home while appreciating the modern updates of today.

How to get the best Wilmington vacation home experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Wilmington. Booking your Southport vacation rental in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport 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 your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning and picking a perfect Southport rental:

• First, have your family decide on date ranges and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. cute home close to UNCW has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before reserving the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• 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.
• Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
