Appreciate the appeal of this historic bungalow home. Located among the many attractions of downtown and within an painless drive to the beaches, this historic yet modern home makes for the ideal spot to appreciate everything Wilmington has to offer. And if you just want to escape and relax, you have private access to the impressive pool getaway right outside your back door. (The pool is not heated and generally too cold to be in from late September through mid-May, but the pool remains open and the pool area can be appreciated year round.)

The historic but completely modernized home includes a comfortable living room, a dining room that seats eight, a well-equipped kitchen, and a sizable back deck. The two bedrooms each have their own en suite bathrooms with walk-in showers. Additional sleeping is available on the fold-out couch in the living room. The front porch, deck, courtyard, and private pool areas offer great outdoor space for appreciating coffee in the morning and beverages in the evening, as well as a great place to soak up the sun or lounge in the shade!

All of historic downtown Wilmington is an simple walk from the home. There is off-street parking for two cars. All linens and towels are supplied, including pool and beach towels.

This home is not only in a prime location to savor Wilmington, but has everything you need to make for a calming hideaway!

Because of the outdoor space, guests often want to invite others over to join them. Modest gatherings are allowed, but we ask that you inform us first if anyone not staying at the home is coming over. The home is in a residential neighborhood and we ask that our guests be courteous of our neighbors. Therefore, we don’t allow groups of more than 12 and ask hosts to monitor noise levels, particularly after 9:00pm.

The number of family pets allowed is limited to one well-behaved pet. We live right next door to the property, so if you have any needs or questions while you are staying, we are very easy to reach.

Rental property booking tips:

Find your perfect rental:

• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Southport area. To find the best value, try changing your family's Southport trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Southport 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 grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking your prefect Southport rental:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Beautifully restored home in Wilmington Historic District with pool has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
