As we find ourselves in challenging times, trying to get back to some kind of normal, we want to assure our guests that we are making every possible effort to ensure their comfort and safety when they stay at one of our properties. We want you to know that we use a professional cleaning service that stringently follows the most state-of-the-art procedures when it comes to disinfection. The disinfectant that they use is EPA registered and CDC approved. Their teams are trained to comply with OSHA standards and have finished a Covid-19 awareness certification course. The health and safety of our guests is their greatest priority.

Additionally, we have keyless entry keypad locks so you can self check-in.

Great WIFI especially important for everybody's Zoom Meetings!!

In addition to being crazy clean… our property is also charming and comfortable! The home was refreshed completely in 2016 and because of Hurricane Florence, was modernized again in 2018! During that remodel, we refreshed the 2nd bathroom to include a impressive, subway tiled, walk-in shower with frameless double glass doors, a new granite backsplash in the kitchen and added magnificent deep seat wicker furnishings to our deck, to which we’ve just added beautiful new cushions! We’ve also added new beds throughout the home and now have queens in both the master and 2nd bedroom, twin beds in the 3rd bedroom and a queen sleeper couch in the living room, comfortably accommodating 8 guests… or more with the inflatable beds that we’ve added.
Our split bedroom design is ideal for providing privacy as the master bedroom is at the opposite end of the home from the other two bedrooms.

Our handsome, bright eat-in kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need to feel right at home…Keurig and Mr. Coffee coffee makers, a stand mixer, electric griddle, crockpot, toaster, electric kettle and more!! We have a 49 inch intelligent TV, Roku to stream Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc. and an antenna which gives you all the major networks, a BlueRay player and hundreds of DVD’s

Lastly, but probably the most important to many people is our location…it just can’t be beat for convenience… just about 2 miles to Historic Downtown Wilmington and the bustling nightlife of the riverfront and about 6 miles to the sandy white beaches of pretty Wrightsville Beach. We’re also just a five min. drive to Wilmington International Airport.

Strategies for getting the best Wilmington vacation home experience:

Finding your best deal:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the best value, consider changing your family's Carolina Beach trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Finding the best vacation rental in the Carolina Beach area:

• First, have your group choose a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Beautiful, Charming, Historic Riverfront and Wrightsville Beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

More considerations:

• Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to propel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
