About this Property

  • 1 Bathrooms
  • Apartment

Tucked in a flower filled garden, the Casita delights with Southwestern - Santa Barbara inspired design. Wilmington and the Casita are ideal all year round. If you are boycotting another short stay travel platform, please note the owner of the Casita, has over 1000, 4.99 star reviews, on that platform and sympathizes with you and offers her property here. Come visit the garden and relax in the hot tub.

The Casita has a darling compact and complete kitchen. It comes equipped with an open window bar featuring a striking bar top crafted from River Cypress, that was reclaimed from the bottom of the Cape Fear River and lovingly restored. I appreciate the secret pocket door that separates the kitchen from the hall way .

In the hallway area, you will find beach equipment (towels, chairs, umbrella and sunblock ).
There is a living room area with a adore seat, coffee table, media shelving and a " fold out to a twin bed" ottoman. The Casita has Intelligent TV. The Casita has a big storage closet and an armoire, to help organize your "new" home.

The bathroom is designed to showcase the rustic Southwestern ambiance and features a bespoke glass shower wall .

The Bedroom area features a Nectar Mattress the Guests rave above and modren duvets and sheets to ensure a restful experience. A black out curtain pulls out from behind the armoire. Historic wooden beams from the Architectural Salvage Store 'Legacy' divide the living area from the bedroom area.

Guests can appreciate the mild beach town climate al fresco on the front patio at the bistro table for breakfast or coffee or on the screened back deck patio with festive string lighting, perhaps while appreciating a glass of wine.

This ground floor apartment is all yours with no shared spaces. You enter on the side of the Casita with a key coded lock entry. My backyard garden is open to you for your enjoyment. Right outside the entry door in the adjacent garden, a four man hot tub is available to guests of the Casita and the Carriage House. A fire table and screen deck are right behind the Casita for open air enjoyment of all 4 seasons.

The Casita is a ground floor apartment and the Carriage House is located above the Casita. Between the two apartments there is a noise diffusing floor underlayment and there is a noise machine and 2 fans, as well as a dehumidifier to ensure that noise does not interfere with your relaxing environment.

The Casita is located in the Princess Place neighborhood along side Burnt Mill Creek. The coastal creek side walk can be accessed off of Princess Place Road behind the Photography Studio. Coastal birds and wildlife abound. Alligators and turtles bask on the opposite bank on warm days. Egrets, Herons, Owls and Anhingas delight bird watchers.

It is a mile and 3/4 to the downtown board walk and Market Street, Chestnut or Princess Street offer a spectacular walking opportunity to those inclined to tour the city on foot. Wrightsville Beach is 7 miles away and is particularly nice off season. Watersport's and land adventures make Wilmington an adventure destination. The weather is rather mild in the winter with the weather falling in the 60's (F) on most days.

Wilmington has a plethora of dining opportunities from local seafood to ethnic cuisine. Wilmington has also become well known for its coffee stores and breweries. I appreciate the Ghost tours downtown, so much history in addition to digging up the past ! Antiques shoppers adore Castle Street. If you can work from home or are happily retired there is no reason to suffer through ice and snow when you an savor all Wilmington has to offer and the Casita warmly welcomes you.

The Casita was designed in 2022 and reclaimed materials were used predominantly. The host has over 8 years experience and has 1000 +reviews with a 4.99 star rating on another fashionable short term rental website, that some are boycotting. Interested in a long term rental? I am retired from a medical research career and live with my 5 cats and French Bull Dog Gomez in the main home, on the property, and happily assist the guests with recommendations and any questions . I happy to discuss prices that would be cost effective and mutually beneficial.

Tips to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

  • Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
  • Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
  • Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
  • Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides have offers and deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Selecting and booking the best Carolina Beach rental home:

  • To start, have your family decide on date ranges and a spending budget.
  • Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Casita Welcomes Guests, Year Round in Wilmington. Booking now for Next Winter! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach vacation rental search.
  • Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking pages. If not, email the host before reserving your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
  • If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
  • If there's a certain Carolina Beach beach you crave, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
  • Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

  • Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
  • Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
  • Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
  • Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if a dispute arises.
  • Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
  • At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
  • Did your group have a excellent time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.

Victory Beach Vacations

Visitors who are on the hunt for the postcard-perfect vacation rental in the heart of the Carolina Beach or Kure Beach area will find an enticing selection and plenty of friendly customer service when they rent through Victory Beach Vacations. Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott.   For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.”   Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor. Choose from luxury oceanfront houses and condos to more reasonbly priced 2nd row properties with oceanviews. Many properties include pools and hot tubs as well, perfect for outdoor entertaining, and many are dog friendly.   Lanier also notes that all properties are within walking or driving distance to Pleasure Island’s main attractions – Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.
