The space
You will appreciate the contrast of being right in the center of downtown while being able to walk up to a completely private loft with all the amenities of home. The walls are 12ft tall and new updates throughout give this loft a roomy and modern feel. You will LOVE the balcony overlooking Front Street. Talk about just sitting back, calming, people watching, and being able to appreciate the bustle from above. AND the last little luxury I'd appreciate to mention is my impressive dry sauna in my master bathroom!

Guest access
Entire Place. Quiet hours 10p-8a. No events.

Other things to note
No complimentary parking for my loft. Street parking is complimentary from 6:30pm-9:00am Monday through Saturday and complimentary on Sunday. I park in the lot behind the building and sometimes find street parking right in front. There are multiple decks around and I just unload in the front (if space accepts) and then I move my car.

There is a walk up! One flight of stairs, no elevator.

Sleeps 6 means: Two beds (one queen, one king) and one pull out couch. As my spot is so cavernous it comfortably sleeps 6. I also have an air bed as well. Please disclose all guests staying overnight as we set up accordingly.

I have a similar unit exactly adjacent to this unit, within same walk up. If you are booking a bigger event, let me know.

If you have any questions, please message me. I look forward to hosting you! Ok

Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation home experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Summer time is high season in Wilmington. Booking your Cape Fear area vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain discounts for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First, have your family commit to a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Updated Historic Front St Loft w\/Sauna in the Heart of Downtown has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you reserve your home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
