The space
Entire experience is designed to make working from home a breeze.

The roomy primary bedroom suite features a king bed with a plush pillowtop bed, walk-in shower, and a desk so folks can work and take calls/meetings in private.

The front bedroom has a queen bed with a plush pillowtop as well.

The third bedroom features two twin beds with memory foam beds.

The home works really well for six people, but we do allow up to 8 people to stay, with the understanding that the people beyond six guests will have to sleep on twin air beds. We have two twin air beds, with linens, that are available for guests to use. The air beds include a self-contained air pump, so no worries about blowing them up. However, guests must request the air beds be available and the guests will be responsible for inflating the air beds and making the beds.

Fast internet is powered by AT&T fiber, with speed up to 1 GB per second.

The refrigerator does not have a water dispenser or ice maker. We have a Brita water pitcher inside the refrigerator and ice cube trays.

Off-street parking is available, but on-street parking is rarely an issue, since St. Luke's Church takes up the block across the street. Off-street parking shared between guests staying in the main home and guests staying in the bungalow.

The serene backyard is huge for a downtown home and is shaded by towering oaks throughout most of the day. The backyard is shared with guests who may be staying in the bungalow behind the main home.

Robert Strange Park, the biggest park in downtown Wilmington, is a half-block away, with a public swimming pool, one baseball and 2 softball fields, basketball courts, in addition to 6 tennis/pickleball courts.

A big backyard awaits, amazing for an intimate gathering of family and friends.

Unused electrical outlets have covers and we are focused on making the home "kid friendly" as possible. However, we cannot assure the home is "kid proof", and guests accept full responsibility for any accidents/injuries.

We have a Graco Pack N Play Rock N Grow Playard available. It's one of the best pack n plays available and retails for about $300. Just let us know if you need it during your stay, and we will make it available.

Grand Roku TVs available in living room and primary bedroom suite.

Plenty of off-street parking available (3 spaces), with complimentary parking on the street. Off-street parking is shared with guests who may be staying in the bungalow behind the main home.

Wilmington rental property booking tips and tricks:

Get the most from your budget:

• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking your Wrightsville Beach vacation rental in Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitors guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose your dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Downtown Luxury: King Suite - Riverwalk\/Castle St! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is commonly available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before booking the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many problems.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. 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 comments.
