Welcome to this bright and classic Wilmington home, where convenience and appeal await you at every turn. Step outside and discover a world of possibilities, with downtown's many incredible eateries and stores just a stone's throw away. And if you're a music lover, you're in luck - the acclaimed Live Oak Bank Pavilion is within simple walking distance.

This historic gem, originally constructed in 1895 and elegantly modernized over the years, enjoys a coveted location just blocks from the Wilmington Historic District. Immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of the city as you walk to events at the Wilmington Convention Center or take leisurely strolls along the beautiful Wilmington Riverwalk. There is plenty of fun to be had at Azalea and riverfront festivals, concert events, the Battleship, parades, and horse and carriage rides. For a day of sun-soaked bliss, head 10 miles east to the handsome Wrightsville Beach. Plus, with Wilmington International Airport less than four miles away, arriving and departing is a breeze.

Start your mornings off right by savoring a cup of coffee on either the inviting front porch or the serene rear deck, where you can take in the ambience of the neighborhood while planning your day ahead. Inside, you'll find a well-equipped kitchen with sleek stainless steel appliances, ideal for whipping up a delicious breakfast. Whether you prefer to appreciate your pancakes at the bar counter or the elegant dining room table, the choice is yours.

After a day of exploration, freshen up your swimsuits in the washer/dryer and beat the summer heat in central air conditioning. And when it's time to relax, settle into the comfortable living area and indulge in your favorite movie or show.

Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the largest rental home within your budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Carolina Beach attractions.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have offers and deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Make a plan and choose the best Carolina Beach rental home:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Renovated historic home with great porch - walk everywhere downtown has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Carolina Beach rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the host before reserving the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or may be applied to your contract.
• If there's a particular Carolina Beach beach you long to visit, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• At Check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
