Adults only, (all guests must be 21 or older). Two guests max!!! Also, I get a lot of requests for modest family pets. Due to safety and health concerns, I cannot accommodate any pets at all. That includes service or support animals. No 3rd event bookings. The person booking, must be the person staying and the person that's name is on the account. The bungalow is to the rear left of my property behind the main home where I reside. If you look at the aerial photo, you can see the proximity the bungalow is to the home. It's about a 25 foot distance. It is very private though but for purposes of full disclosure, some outdoor spaces are visible from my ring cameras. For instance, my ring camera at my back door can pick up who enters the back yard and bungalow but does not pick up images from inside the bungalow or the private back patio to the bungalow. I also have a ring camera on my front door that can see the driveway. That being said, you’re going to appreciate the privacy and the location of this cozy bungalow, tucked away smack dab between Wrightsville and Carolina Beach in the fashionable Masonboro section of Wilmington. For those unfamiliar with Wilmington, this area is not only very desired, but also very safe! The driveway is not paved and the path to the bungalow is also unpaved but has concrete stepping stones that lead you to the bungalow door. The middle space in the parking area is the designated space for the bungalow. There is only one parking space designated for the bungalow. If you have a friend or family member stop by for a visit, they will need to park in the street in front of my home. If you are interested in booking the bungalow, please note: No events or events. No smoking or vaping of anything inside bungalow or patio room. No pets of any kind including service animals. Not suitable for kids. Guests must be twenty one and older. Two guest max. Please do not remove any artwork from walls, including the nude woman pencil drawing in the bathroom. If the artwork in my home offends anyone, it is best they don't book a stay at the bungalow.

Our top Wilmington rental booking tips:

When to go & When to reserve a Southport rental home:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best value, consider changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.
