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!

Booking the best rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Wilmington. Booking your vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving 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 Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. The Salty Peach, A Sweet Retreat has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before you book the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what is best for your vacation.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach attraction you love, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

During your stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• Record any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all of your things. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to stimulate more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
