This property is ideal for families with modest kids doing longer-stays (over a week).

Traveling with modest kids can be a challenge! We know because we have modest kids of our own. We are excited to offer our home as a refuge for your family as you travel. Our home is equipped with nearly everything you need as a parent. Crib, playground, washer and dryer, noise machine, infant bathtub, toys, kids’s books, blankies, rockers, highchair, etc.

Of course, if you don’t have kids, you can ignore those things and stay in a 3 bed, 2.5 bath open-concept home with a private backyard / comfortable patio , espresso machine and plenty of space for a family. The home is very pet and toddler friendly (though adult supervision is required). We are walking distance from a few great eateries and stores and Long Leaf Park. We are just a 10-min. drive to Wrightsville Beach or downtown.

Master bedroom has office space with dual monitors, bassinet, garden tub in private bath and a enormous dresser. The guest room has queen bed with huge dresser and closet. The other bedroom is equipped for modest kids (crib, rocker, changing station, a kids twin bed, toys, etc.). We also have two queen sized air beds that can be set-up in one of the two downstairs living rooms.

We have everything you need in terms of cooking, linens, towels, soap, entertainment (wifi, Netflix, hbo, etc.). A T.V. in each shared living room, 2 couches and 2 adore seats and a special cushion for 1 pet.

The outdoor patio has a cushioned couch, dining table, gas and charcoal grilles, playground and privacy fence. In the summer, it's full shade after 1pm which is marvelous. We pay for mosquito control so *far fewer* pesky mosquitos while you're trying to appreciate an evening outdoors.

Our favorite activities in the neighborhood include:
- Walking our dog through our peaceful neighborhood over to the dog park in long leaf park. Stopping in at Brewer’s Kettle for a cold drink and then picking up Tandoori Bites Indian food on our walk home.
- Biking over to Whole Foods or Crepes & More for morning coffee and breakfast.
- Playing on the soccer field located within the neighborhood
- Staying in, grilling out or appreciating the outdoor fire place, on a warm evening after the kids are in bed.

Our top Rental home tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Wilmington. Booking your vacation home in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose the best vacation rental in Wilmington:

• Choose your vacation week and budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Centrally located family home 10 mins from the beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. If not, email or call the host before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what is right for your vacation group.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Advice for your stay:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To make sure no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review 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 reasonably to remedy it.
