The Palm is the broad main floor of a amazing 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, simple, 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.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Wilmington vacation rental experience:

When to reserve a Carolina Beach rental & When to go:

• Summer time is high season in the Carolina Beach area. To get the best value, change your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines contain deals for local shops and restaurants.

How to pick the best vacation rental:

• Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. The Palm House *Walk Downtown has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. If not, email the property management company before reserving the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Looking for special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• 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 your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your contract.

Know before you go:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Record any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if damages are assessed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to inspire new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
