The Palm is the broad main floor of a phenomenal old Victorian home that was duplexed long ago and has evolved throughout the years. You’ll have private access to the first floor with your own entrance. We adore this place for its high ceilings, vintage decor, original wood floors, and peaceful red brick road neighborhood! With queen-size comfortable beds, a comfortable living room with a intelligent TV, and an eat-in kitchen area with all the essentials, you may want to stay longer!

If you're looking for new and ideal, this is not it—it’s a cool old home in a unique location. The Palm is an early 1900s Victorian home in a cozy, historic neighborhood, just a pleasant walk from eateries, bars, breweries, entertainment, museums, historic walking tours, and the riverfront. Parking is complimentary, painless, and ample on the street in front of the home.

Note: The neighbor upstairs has two dogs, and you may occasionally hear them walking around at nighttime or early in the morning. If you're a light sleeper, please keep this in mind.

Guests will have access to the entire lower-level floor and a private entrance. We are here if you need us, invisible if you don’t. Check-in anytime with the keypad lock and start calming! We’ll likely check in with you via text to ensure everything’s great. If we don’t hear from you, we’ll assume you’re happy!

Located on a quaint brick road, The Palm is within walking distance to downtown and the river walk. This is a very old home—please treat it with respect. If historic appeal and unique turn-of-the-century eccentricities aren't your thing, you may want to consider more modern accommodations.

Tricks and tips to get the best Wilmington vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best value, shift your family's Carolina Beach vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning, picking, and booking yourrental home:

• Start by choosing potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. The Palm House *Walk Downtown has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is suitable for your family.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a property that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your life at home. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
