About this Property

This gorgeous 1800’s Victorian duplex underwent an broad remodel that was finished in summer of 2023. It retains its historic appeal with original wooden doors, a bedroom fireplace (now decorative only), and its location on a peaceful cobblestone street. However, it was thoughtfully modernized with new plumbing, electric, floor, appliances, and light fixtures and is decorated in a timeless style with a nod to its heritage but in no way retro.

This upstairs 2 bedroom 1 bath duplex has tons of windows and natural light. It also includes access to the front porch that has a swing and additional seating and a deck with furnishings that is ideal for appreciating a cup of coffee or a meal. The living room has comfortable seating and a huge Roku intelligent TV. One bedroom has a queen bed, TV, and a view of the cobblestone street. The second smaller bedroom has a twin size bunk bed and intelligent TV. The eat-in kitchen with seating for 4 is outfitted with all new appliances, including a gas stove, dish washer, and washer/dryer laundry center. It includes cookware, dishes, and kitchen basics and includes a coffee bar, bottled water, and some snacks. The bathroom has a tile shower with a glass door.

This duplex is just a stone’s throw to downtown Wilmington, so you can walk to downtown and appreciate the historic north end of downtown. Off street parking is included (modest and mid sized cars only as the driveway is narrow) and there is always plenty of street parking for bigger cars, cars pulling a trailer, or additional cars. Only a 30 min. drive to the beaches!

Note that this unit is accessed via a full flight of steps.

Tips to get the perfect Southport rental experience:

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

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Southport area. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• 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 reduced rate.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Urban Oasis has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available online. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before reserving the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If there's a particular Southport attraction you crave, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs could be applied to your contract.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to propel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
