Guest access
The space is on the side of the home, separate from the home with no access to the main home. It's secure and just for you. That said, if you need us, we're literally right next door.

Other things to note
We live in the main home and will be available to meet you, provide suggestions, and help if an issue does arise.

Airplanes/ helicopters pass over the downtown area during the day. It can be noisy but is not typically loud. The entire downtown area experiences this, we just want our guests to know ahead of time. We live in the main home so you may hear us or the doggos on occasion.

Note: This home is 136 years old, and although many aspects have been refreshed and refurbished... it is 136 years old. If an issue arises or you have questions, we live here and are here to help.

Rental property booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

• Summer months are high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. To find the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose vacation week and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. 136 Year Old Historic Wilmington Apartment, 2 Blocks to Riverfront, Free Parking has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss 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.
