This beautiful 1800’s Victorian duplex underwent an broad remodel that was finished in summer of 2023. It retains its historic appeal with original wooden doors, a bedroom fireplace (now decorative only), and its location on a peaceful cobblestone street. However, it was thoughtfully modernized with new plumbing, electric, floor, appliances, and light fixtures and is decorated in a timeless style with a nod to its heritage but in no way retro.

This upstairs 2 bedroom 1 bath duplex has tons of windows and natural light. It also includes access to the front porch that has a swing and additional seating and a deck with furnishings that is ideal for appreciating a cup of coffee or a meal. The living room has comfortable seating and a huge Roku intelligent TV. One bedroom has a queen bed, TV, and a view of the cobblestone street. The second smaller bedroom has a twin size bunk bed and intelligent TV. The eat-in kitchen with seating for 4 is outfitted with all new appliances, including a gas stove, dish washer, and washer/dryer laundry center. It includes cookware, dishes, and kitchen basics and includes a coffee bar, bottled water, and some snacks. The bathroom has a tile shower with a glass door.

This duplex is just a stone’s throw to downtown Wilmington, so you can walk to downtown and savor the historic north end of downtown. Off street parking is supplied (modest and mid sized cars only as the driveway is narrow) and there is always plenty of street parking for bigger cars, cars pulling a trailer, or additional cars. Only a 30 min. drive to the beaches!

Note that this unit is accessed via a full flight of steps.

Wilmington rental home tips:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• To book the most suitable rental for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wrightsville Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as 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 host for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose the best vacation rental:

• Start by having your family agree to dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Urban Oasis has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you book your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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 rental agreement! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your visit:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. text the rental manager immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to drive new reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
