As we find ourselves in challenging times, trying to get back to some kind of normal, we want to assure our guests that we are making every possible effort to ensure their comfort and safety when they stay at one of our properties. We want you to know that we use a professional cleaning service that stringently follows the most state-of-the-art procedures when it comes to disinfection. The disinfectant that they use is EPA registered and CDC approved. Their teams are trained to comply with OSHA standards and have finished a Covid-19 awareness certification course. The health and safety of our guests is their greatest priority.

Additionally, we have keyless entry keypad locks so you can self check-in.

Great WIFI especially important for everybody's Zoom Meetings!!

In addition to being crazy clean… our property is also pretty and comfortable! The home was modernized completely in 2016 and because of Hurricane Florence, was refreshed again in 2018! During that remodel, we updated the 2nd bathroom to include a striking, subway tiled, walk-in shower with frameless double glass doors, a new granite backsplash in the kitchen and added excellent deep seat wicker furnishings to our deck, to which we’ve just added handsome new cushions! We’ve also added new beds throughout the home and now have queens in both the master and 2nd bedroom, twin beds in the 3rd bedroom and a queen sleeper couch in the living room, conveniently accommodating 8 guests… or more with the inflatable beds that we’ve added.
Our split bedroom design is ideal for providing privacy as the master bedroom is at the opposite end of the home from the other two bedrooms.

Our beautiful, bright eat-in kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need to feel right at home…Keurig and Mr. Coffee coffee makers, a stand mixer, electric griddle, crockpot, toaster, electric kettle and more!! We have a 49 inch intelligent TV, Roku to stream Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc. and an antenna which gives you all the major networks, a BlueRay player and hundreds of DVD’s

Lastly, but probably the most important to many people is our location…it just can’t be beat for convenience… just about 2 miles to Historic Downtown Wilmington and the bustling nightlife of the riverfront and about 6 miles to the sandy white beaches of handsome Wrightsville Beach. We’re also just a five min. drive to Wilmington International Airport.

Strategies to get the best Cape Fear area rental experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the largest vacation home within budget, we suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking the rightrental home:

• First and foremost, have your family choose the best dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Beautiful, Charming, Historic Riverfront and Wrightsville Beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make certain no damages are linked to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the rental manager right away to document any pre-existing 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 loud visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• 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 get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
