Private vacation home

You will appreciate this historic home in the peaceful and beautiful Ardmore-Carolina Place neighborhood. The inviting front porch with swing and rocking chairs, plus the rear deck in the completely fenced yard, make the outside as comfortable as the inside. The neighborhood is a walker’s heaven, just mins. from dozens of eateries, bars and coffee stores in the Cargo District and steps away from a playground. It is a fast drive to Wilmington’s thriving historic downtown, and only 15 mins. to the beach.

The space

This is our second home, and it is set up for living. The modern kitchen has everything you will need, including multiple coffee options (Keurig, pour over, and percolator). A full-size refrigerator provides filtered water and ice. There is a gas grille on the rear deck. The deck overlooks the lawn and gardens in the fenced yard – a relaxing getaway in the heart of the city.

The two bedrooms each have a Queen bed with high quality linens, ample closet space and dresser, and a ceiling fan. There is also a pull-out Queen sleeper couch with memory foam bed. The Master BR has an en-suite bath with dual sinks and a enormous walk-in shower. The second bathroom also offers dual sinks and a tub/shower.

You will have access to a full-size washer and dryer. There is a 55” UHD TV in the living room, and a smaller TV in the MBR; both have a Roku to access your streaming services. The DR table seats six. You’ll find an assortment of books, puzzles and games.

Off-street parking for one car. Plenty of on-street parking. A code to access the front door lock will be included before arrival.

The neighborhood

Ardmore was one of Wilmington’s first “streetcar suburbs” in the 1920s and today is considered to be on the edge of Downtown Wilmington. Like the adjoining Carolina Place, Ardmore is made up of modest bungalows with peaceful streets, well-tended gardens and sidewalks made for walking. Nearly every home has a front porch.

Our home is just steps from a modest playground, and a ten-min. walk to a bigger, freshly-refreshed playground in Wallace Park. Wilmington’s vibrant and growing Cargo District is only 10 mins. by foot, with dozens of trendy eateries, bars and coffee stores. It takes less than 10 mins. to drive (or

30 mins. to walk) to the historic downtown and the charming Wilmington Riverwalk, and to the growing Soda Pop District.

Southeastern NC is home to some of the country’s best beaches, and Wilmington sits right in the middle. Family-friendly Wrightsville Beach is a 15-min. drive from the home. Carolina Beach, with its historic boardwalk, is only 30 mins. away, and numerous elegant beaches in Brunswick and Pender counties can be reached in less than an hour.

We’ve supplied the home with plenty of information about beaches, parks, historical tours and everything else this region and city have to offer. You’ll also find a list of some of our favorite places to eat and drink, and a walking map to guide you to some of our close-by favorites.

You will adore this casual, family-friendly home in one of America’s best cities. Feel complimentary to ask any questions. Because we live out of state when not living on Nun Street, you are more likely to hear from our magnificent property manager, Christina, who will also be available to attend to any issues during your stay.

Tips to get the best Cape Fear area vacation home experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

To find the best rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
Many property management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides which will include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the best vacation home:

Select your vacation dates and spending budget.
Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Comfortable Home in the Heart of Wilmington has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the host before you reserve your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
If there's an individual Cape Fear area destination you love, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.

Have a wonderful stay:

Get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
Note any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of issues.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local spots.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
Did you have a wonderful time? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
