Keyless Entry: For your convenience, the home is equipped with a intelligent lock. You will receive your unique access code 24 hours before check-in.

Parking: There is plenty of room for up to four cars in our private driveway. Since we are at the end of a dead-end street, parking and unloading are simple and anxiety-complimentary.

Privacy: The backyard is yours to appreciate! The fence is entirely enclosed, providing a secure and private space for your family.

Owner's Areas: Please note that one closet and the detached garage are locked for owner supplies and is not accessible to guests. Everything else is yours to savor!

While we stay off-site to give you total privacy, we are just a message or phone call away. As lovers of Louisiana and Wilmington, we are more than happy to share our favorite 'hidden gems' or tips for the best local seafood. Don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to ensure you have a 5-star experience!

The Fire Pit & Outdoor TV: We want you to savor the backyard to the fullest! Please note that guests are complimentary to enjoy one section of complimentary fire wood from the rack. If you use additional sections of wood, they are $10 a section (details in the binder at the home). We also kindly ask that the outdoor TV and lights are turned off when not in use to respect our peaceful neighborhood and conserve energy.

The "Louisiana" Decor: Our home features authentic, handmade wood furnishings and unique decorations from Southwest Louisiana and the Angola Rodeo. These pieces are very special to us; we ask that you enjoy them with care and please use coasters or napkins (included!) on all wooden surfaces.

Quiet & Privacy: Because we are at the end of a dead-end road, you will enjoy a very peaceful environment with no through traffic. We ask that you help us maintain this relaxing ambiance by keeping noise to a minimum after 10:00 PM.

Airport Proximity: Being just 5 mins. from Wilmington International (ILM) is incredibly convenient! While we are not directly under a primary flight path, you may occasionally hear the distant sound of a plane. Most guests find this a modest trade-off for such an painless commute.

The Bonus Room: The additional room is a great flexible space! Please note that there is exterior access to this room from the driveway as well as from the living area.

Miscellaneous: The trash service runs every Monday morning. If your stay includes a Sunday nighttime, we would kindly ask that you take the trash can to the road. During the warmer months, there is a lawn service crew that will come by and maintain the property. We will try to avoid them coming during your stay, but will also work to keep the yard looking nice and inviting while you are there. They will not disturb you early in the morning or late at nighttime, and we will let you know in advance of their schedule and time frame. House Rules:
Quiet Hours: 8pm - 7am
Max of 4 cars in the driveway
Guests not supplied in the initial reservation need to leave by the start of peaceful hours.
