Stroll by the water on the 1.75 mile riverwalk during the day to relax and stop at the unique stores and viewing areas along the way, or take a walk at dusk and be immersed in the radiant sunsets and lights of the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge as they reflect on the water. Explore downtown and find local attractions, eateries, stores, and nightclubs within walking distance of the condo. Just step outside and you’ll venture into the heart of Wilmington, immersed in a metropolitan scene of art, history, and diverse culture. If you feel like wandering out a little farther, you can spend a day calming in the sun and sea with Wrightsville Beach just 10 miles away.

Settle in your refined yet casual space, equipped with a modern kitchen and en-suite laundry. Take in the broad vistas from the covered balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows. As the evening settles, cap off your adventurous day with a handcrafted drink and late nighttime bite from one of the many bars and eateries right outside your door. At the end of the day you’ll comfortable up in a ridiculously comfortable king-sized bed while your friends or family rest their heads on the full-sized Murphy bed. Unwind here. Adventure here. Discover Wilmington here.

The huge, covered patio has a direct view of Battleship USS North Carolina, the Cape Fear River, and the Riverwalk. Netting was added to the balcony to prevent birds from claiming it as their home, since they seem to adore the view as much as people do!

Wilmington rental home booking tips:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Wilmington. Booking your Carolina Beach vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by having your family select dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Epic views in the heart of downtown Wilmington has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what configuration is best for your family.
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many concerns.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
