The space
Remodeled Sept 2020 - All of our creativity and adore went into making The Aether a unique and opulent hideaway. We decided to create a twist on the port city feel by making it Steampunk influenced. From the portholes, to the ships galley designed with up-cycled furnishings, we created The Aether. We hope you savor all the fun details we put into making this a extravagant and fun hideaway! Fresh steamed Luxury Linens & Bathrobes await you. Savor and relax in comfort as you read the story of Anne Bonny, the most famed female pirate to sail during the Golden Age....Join us in The Aether!

**This listing was completely modernized after Hurricane Florence damaged the building extensively in 2018, with restoration ending June 2020, and our remodeling finished and re-listed Oct 2020**
Guest access
The condo is yours to appreciate, there are coin laundry machines located across the hallway. There is an elevator, but it is sometimes out of service.
Other things to note
The condo faces Front Street which is great for people watching and festivals, it may get noisy at nighttime, definitely on Friday and Saturdays. We added thick cellular blinds and heavy black out draperies when we refreshed, and provide complimentary ear plugs for your comfort if needed. :-)

There is an elevator, I can NOT guarantee it will be working during your stay as it is original to the building and prone to being cranky. The condo is on the 2nd floor, there are granite stairs.

We pay for monthly parking in a public garage, with pedestrian access across the street from our building.

Strategies to get the very best vacation property experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Wilmington rental home:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Summer is high season in the Wrightsville Beach area. To find the most suitable rental home within budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Wrightsville Beach visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by having your family decide on the best dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. The Aether - Luxe King -1 BLK 2 RVR- Free PKG has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wrightsville Beach rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More tips for your stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your visit, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the rental manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to drive more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
