This spectacular historic home is where we live and yours to appreciate. Your part is the entire first floor of this converted Duplex. You have your own entrance and plenty of privacy so relax and find out why we adore it! Convenient parking and no need for an Uber or your car. This unique and cheerful space is ideal for travelers looking for a place that has its own character and appeal. Our space is also kid-friendly and great for families.

This is the first floor of an impressive historic downtown home. Many homes in this neighborhood are historic housed converted to Duplexes. We appreciate walking around and checking out the other homes! We live upstairs and you'll have the whole first floor to yourself. We usually come and go by the back door so, the front and your back door are used solely entirely by you.

We fell in appreciate with this home because of the beautiful wood floors, woodwork, high ceilings, and turn-of-the-century charm. A supplied kitchen and dining room table for meals, front and back decks, painless street parking, a enormous living room with two couches, comfortable beds, and the bathroom has a cute clawfoot bathtub. You have the entire place to yourself. Appreciate your morning cup of coffee on the porch swing or walk to Bespoke coffee and relaxing downtown Wilmington for breakfast.

It's a great old home and it's a wood home. You're going to hear us walking around and sometimes even being a little loud with a friend or two (at reasonable hours of course). You'll hear us get up in the morning and get our son ready for school at 6:30am. If you're a really light sleeper or hate mornings, you might not want to book this place. Although we have a no partying rule, we understand that you're on vacation and you may make some noise or come home late after walking downtown. It's ok, just savor yourself. If you're too noisy, we'll just message you and ask you too tone it down. You can do the same for us. Just be happy!

This great old home has a front and back porch on both the first and second floor! We enjoy calming on the second floor porches so the first floor is mostly yours to use anytime. Lots of our guests appreciate swinging on the porch swing and appreciating the mornings. We adore that they adore it!

Please do not use the driveway. It's just a tiny driveway between two homes and barely fits a car. We park in the back and there are not any additional spaces there. However, there is a ton of complimentary street parking and, unless there is a major festival, you will never have any trouble finding a spot right in front of the home. Note: The neighbor in the green and yellow home next door is really sensitive about people parking in front of his home. Please help us keep the neighborhood happy and park anywhere but in front of the green and yellow neighbors home.

We are here if you need us, invisible if you don't. You can check in anytime with the keypad lock and start relaxing! We'll likely text you during your stay to let you know we are available. If I don't hear from you, we will assume you're happy!

We chose this home because of its magnificant historic charm and its location is the best. It's a neighborhood right in downtown. All the homes are nice and so is this one. You're going to appreciate it! Just a short walk to downtown, eateries, bars, entertainment, the riverfront, museums, historic tours.

Handsome downtown Wilmington. See tons of charming homes as you walk around the neighborhood the scenery is marvelous.

You can walk pretty much everywhere, this is a prime location.
We are 15 mins. to the beaches and a 5 min walk to the river walk. We're on Princess street so a strait walk, 4 blocks will get you directly in the center of Downtown Wilmington.

We have a self check in process that is simple and convenient. We provide a code on your arrival date for the keypad on the door as well as your private entrance.

This is an old home and for some, that's part of the charm. We have proudly modernized and decorated it, and kept its original fixtures when possible. If you like old homes, wood floors, cool lights and light switches, this is your jam. If you see older homes as ugly and cumbersome, this is not your place- please feel complimentary to check out some of our more modern listings.

You will find some water and snacks when you arrive.

The TV is a Roku TV. You can log into your favorite subscriptions and enjoy your favorites channels from home.

How to get the best vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain discounts for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose and book your prefectrental:

• First and foremost, have your family select a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. High Tide Historic Duplex has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your vacation family.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
