This listing is right in the action of downtown. If noise or being in the heart of a city bothers you this may not be the right fit. It is also closed off but is still attached to a full home, and is considered a duplex (sectioned off back of a whole home). If you are looking for a traditional Airbnb experience in a shared space, we would adore to have you. If you are looking for additional privacy we suggest booking an entire home or bungalow. There is a wall between the spaces of the the home so you have full privacy during your stay.


You may see us from time to time doing yard work or walking to and from the front of the home. (Don’t be afraid to say hi!) The front of the home is rented to guests as well, so other guests will occupy the front section of the home during your stay. However, because of the nearness to the rest of the home, you might also hear the sound of talking or other day to day activities whilst inside the apartment from the other guests. Respect of peaceful hours are requested from both sets of guests and are expected to be followed. We have done a great deal of sound proofing to ensure that this should not be an issue (double thick drywalled green glue noise proofing sealant has been established on all shared walls, and tested), however, if you experience any discomfort in the noise level please let us know.

—————————————————————
-The sound of traffic or being directly in a “city city” is bothersome to you. This home is located on a main street in Downtown Wilmington. While it may be convenient to getting to all the attractions Downtown has to offer, you will hear and see the hustle, bustle, and rumble of the street and city. There is a security camera on the porch and a sound machine is also supplied. Two are on the property, located at the exterior front and back porch entryways which can record sound and are active during every stay to ensure all activity outside the home is safe.
-You do not wish to share a wall with other persons. You may hear (inside and outside the home) or see other guests (outside the home) on occasion.
-Controlling the temperature is important. There is no access to the controls because they still are responsible for the whole home. However, a modest heater is supplied and we are available 24/7 with remote thermostat access to adjust if asked.
-Modest spaces are uncomfortable to you. This space is very tiny-home inspired and there are a lot of unique layouts that you may find yourself in a less than cavernous situation. The shower within the clawfoot tub space comfortably fits someone that is 6ft and may get tighter to navigate if you exceed this height. Accessibility is difficult with this shower design as well, please be mindful of this.
-Quirky details are not your style. We have repurposed this home to be fun and an appealing experience so it is in no way a traditional space. There will be lights and other details that may be found annoying if this is something you do not wish to have on your stay.
- A more rustic/vintage home is not your style. You will notice there are genuine original details within the space that we intentionally kept to maintain the historic and original beauty that it is.
-You are traveling with kids. This space is not childproof and there are exposed silverware, items, inappropriate sayings visible, and other items around the home that would be considered unsuitable for little ones to be around. The consistent sound of traffic may also be no fun to have with a little one present.

————————————————
This is a guest shared home. We ask that you be respectful of the guests staying on the front half
of this home. You will not have any shared spaces besides the outside parking areas.

This is an older home so it has a lot of the gorgeous vintage qualities an old home would have, but also retains some rustic appeal. So please be mindful that it is not ideal. For example, you may have to wait for the water to get hot for a shower, and it may take a min. or so to reach a comfortable temperature. All tile floors have a lot of what we like to call “incline/decline challenges” in addition to imperfections that we tried our best to salvage in the remodel process, and may be slippery when wet.
We worked really hard on this space and created & designed everything you see. We want for our guests to appreciate it, and savor it for its imperfections, in addition to its updates, as much as we do.

Other things to note
In addition to being a duplex space (1 home split into two apartments), this is an older home so it has a lot of the magnificant vintage qualities an old home would have, but also retains some rustic appeal.

Booking the best vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the most suitable rental within your budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Wrightsville Beach attractions and restaurants.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many rental management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the perfect rental:

• Select your dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. The Plastic Peach • 80s\/90s Inspired Apartment has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before you reserve the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Wrightsville Beach destination you love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many concerns.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the host right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to drive future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review 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 quickly to solve it.
