Good to Know Before Your Stay:

Verification & Rental Agreement
To help ensure a safe and secure experience for everyone, we use SafeGuest for identity verification and rental agreement review. After your reservation is confirmed, you'll receive a link with simple instructions to complete this process prior to arrival. A security deposit will be required through SafeGuest.

Check-In & Check-Out
Check-in begins at 4:00 PM, and check-out is 10:00 AM. These times allow our cleaning team the opportunity to thoroughly prepare the home for each guest.
During our busy summer season (Memorial Day through Labor Day), we are generally unable to accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs from Friday through Sunday due to tight turnover schedules. During the week, we are happy to check availability within 24 hours of arrival or departure. When accommodations are possible, a fee of $25 per hour applies for early arrivals or late departures.

A Note About Coastal Wildlife
One of the joys of the coast is being surrounded by nature. Our area is home to a variety of local insects, including spiders, ants, and palmetto bugs, particularly during warmer months. The home receives regularly scheduled professional pest control treatments, but occasional sightings can still occur despite our best efforts. If you encounter any concerns during your stay, please let us know and we'll gladly arrange additional treatment if needed. Seeing native insects will not be grounds for a cancellation or refund.

Television & Streaming
While this property does not offer cable service, smart TVs or Rokus are available for you to access your favorite streaming platforms using your personal accounts. Please remember to log out before departure, or remotely through your streaming service if needed.

Cleanliness
Our housekeeping team takes great pride in preparing the home for every guest, however everyone is human. If anything doesn't meet your expectations upon arrival, please let us know as soon as possible so we can address it promptly and help ensure you have a comfortable stay.

Elevator Information

Location Information
One of the best parts of this location is its convenient access to nearby restaurants, shops, and attractions. As a result, you may occasionally hear sounds associated with downtown living, including pedestrians, vehicle traffic, or aircraft overhead. Most guests find the area pleasantly active without being overly noisy.

Pets
We are dog friendly, but need to approve your furry friends prior to booking. Let us know if you are planning to bring your dog, we allow up to 2 for a $75 pet fee per dog.

Cute condo in a great location. We were traveling with our pup, and it's always a treat to stay in such a nice place with him. We loved having the cocktail bar directly across the street and enjoyed restaurants up and down the riverfront. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great property, convenient to everything downtown! Parking (provided with a parking pass) is a couple of blocks away, but you can unload at the building. We didn’t mind since we were walking around anyways. There are a few great restaurants and bars within a block. Would absolutely stay again!

This booking was great for our trip to Wilmington. Beautiful views from the balcony and convenient to everything we planned to do. The only downside was the parking. It was about an 8-minute walk to a parking deck in downtown Wilmington. We decided to park on streets nearby rental instead and feed the meter. It was much more convenient by doing this.
