The Salty Peach, a haven for two in the heart of Wilmington, NC. This chic studio harmonizes comfort and style for an memorable stay. Step into our inviting sitting space, a comfortable sanctuary beckoning you to relax after soaking up the sun on the beach or immersing yourself in the vibrant energy of downtown. Our thoughtfully equipped kitchen awaits, boasting modern amenities and essentials like coffee pods, creamer,& sugar. Drift off to sleep in the plush king bed & rejuvenate in the ensuite shower.

You'll have access to the guest unit and the sitting area out front. The backyard is a shared space with the "cowboy pool" and my two dogs, Hamilton and Boitano.

While I live on the property in the other unit with my two dogs, we keep to ourselves. We will give a hello if we see you, but it is possible we will never encounter each other. My dogs will try to convince you to let them visit you, but I prefer to keep the guest unit pet-complimentary.

The Salty Peach is located in the middle of town making getting to the beach or downtown painless with a 4-6 miles/ 10-15 min drive. Also close by you can find- the mall, access to the River to Sea Bikeway/ walking path, coffee stores, and Reggie's.

Parking for two cars is available in the driveway section on the right side of the home. Please do not block the driveway entry/exit.

While there is central AC and heating in the entire home, there are no AC/ heat controls in the guest unit. The unit has a space heater, ceiling fan, and portable fan for those who would like to adjust the temperature slightly. If you reach out to me between 7 am- 8 pm then I would be glad to make adjustments to the central controls within reason. My goal is for you to be cozy!

Strategies to get the perfect Wilmington rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Booking your Southport vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is a good way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay 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 magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select vacation dates and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. The Salty Peach, A Sweet Retreat has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the host before reserving the rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a single event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
