Apartment
Approximately 1100 square feet

This striking 1800’s Victorian duplex used to be our worst place. That is, until it underwent an broad remodel that was finished in summer of 2023. It retains its historic appeal with original wooden doors, a bedroom fireplace (now decorative only), and its location on a peaceful cobblestone street. However, it was thoughtfully modernized with new plumbing, electric, floor, appliances, and light fixtures and is decorated in a timeless style with a nod to its heritage but in no way retro. This downstairs 2 bedroom 2 bath duplex has tons of historic charm. You enter the duplex from the back of the home into the comfortable living room that has cozy seating and a enormous intelligent TV. The primary suite has a queen bed with hybrid bed, TV, decorative original fireplace, and roomy private bathroom with a tile shower. The bright and airy second bedroom is in the front of the home and has a queen bed with hybrid bed and TV. The second bathroom is located under the staircase but is surprisingly roomy and has a tiled shower.

The sizable eat-in kitchen with seating for 4 is outfitted with all new appliances, including a gas stove, dish washer, and washer/dryer laundry center. It includes cookware, dishes, and kitchen basics and includes a coffee bar, bottled water, and some snacks.

The back porch has 4 rocking chairs and overlooks the backyard garden and is a ideal place to relax.

This duplex is just a stone’s throw to downtown Wilmington, so you can walk to downtown and appreciate the historic north end of downtown. Off street parking is supplied (modest and mid sized cars only as the driveway is narrow) and there is always plenty of street parking for bigger cars, cars pulling a trailer, or additional cars. Located a short pleasant walk to the riverwalk, eateries, breweries, museums, entertainment, and more. Just a 30 min. drive to the beaches.

Checkout: Checkout is 11am, but we can offer late checkout as availability accepts. 12pm checkout is $20, and 1pm checkout is $30. Please contact us first and if we can accommodate your late checkout, we will be happy to.

Our top Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

To get the best value, try changing your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
Property managers typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitors guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and select a budget.
Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Downtown Bliss has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before booking the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
If there's a particular Wilmington, NC attraction you simply love, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
If your group is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
To make sure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, note any problem areas during arrival. text the host right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few issues.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific source for finding the best local attractions.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
