This listing is right in the action of downtown. If noise or being in the heart of a city bothers you this may not be the right fit. It is also closed off but is still attached to a full home, and is considered a duplex (sectioned off back of a whole home). If you are looking for a traditional Airbnb experience in a shared space, we would appreciate to have you. If you are looking for additional privacy we suggest booking an entire home or bungalow. There is a wall between the spaces of the the home so you have full privacy during your stay.


You may see us from time to time doing yard work or walking to and from the front of the home. (Don’t be afraid to say hi!) The front of the home is rented to guests as well, so other guests will occupy the front section of the home during your stay. However, because of the nearness to the rest of the home, you might also hear the sound of talking or other day to day activities whilst inside the apartment from the other guests. Respect of peaceful hours are requested from both sets of guests and are expected to be followed. We have done a great deal of sound proofing to ensure that this should not be an issue (double thick drywalled green glue noise proofing sealant has been established on all shared walls, and tested), however, if you experience any discomfort in the noise level please let us know.

—————————————————————
-The sound of traffic or being directly in a “city city” is bothersome to you. This home is located on a main street in Downtown Wilmington. While it may be convenient to getting to all the attractions Downtown has to offer, you will hear and see the hustle, bustle, and rumble of the street and city. There is a security camera on the porch and a sound machine is also included. Two are on the property, located at the exterior front and back porch entryways which can record sound and are active during every stay to ensure all activity outside the home is safe.
-You do not wish to share a wall with other persons. You may hear (inside and outside the home) or see other guests (outside the home) on occasion.
-Controlling the temperature is important. There is no access to the controls because they still are responsible for the whole home. However, a modest heater is supplied and we are available 24/7 with remote thermostat access to adjust if asked.
-Modest spaces are uncomfortable to you. This space is very tiny-home inspired and there are a lot of unique layouts that you may find yourself in a less than roomy situation. The shower within the clawfoot tub space comfortably fits someone that is 6ft and may get tighter to navigate if you exceed this height. Accessibility is difficult with this shower design as well, please be mindful of this.
-Quirky details are not your style. We have repurposed this home to be fun and an impressive experience so it is in no way a traditional space. There will be lights and other details that may be found annoying if this is something you do not wish to have on your stay.
- A more rustic/vintage home is not your style. You will notice there are genuine original details within the space that we intentionally kept to maintain the historic and original beauty that it is.
-You are traveling with kids. This space is not childproof and there are exposed silverware, items, inappropriate sayings visible, and other items around the home that would be considered unsuitable for little ones to be around. The consistent sound of traffic may also be no fun to have with a little one present.

————————————————
This is a guest shared home. We ask that you be respectful of the guests staying on the front half
of this home. You will not have any shared spaces besides the outside parking areas.

This is an older home so it has a lot of the amazing vintage qualities an old home would have, but also retains some rustic appeal. So please be mindful that it is not ideal. For example, you may have to wait for the water to get hot for a shower, and it may take a min. or so to reach a comfortable temperature. All tile floors have a lot of what we like to call “incline/decline challenges” in addition to imperfections that we tried our best to salvage in the remodel process, and may be slippery when wet.
We worked really hard on this space and created & designed everything you see. We want for our guests to appreciate it, and savor it for its imperfections, in addition to its updates, as much as we do.

How to find the best vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Booking your Brunswick area vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Make a plan and pick your Brunswick area vacation home:

• Select vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. The Plastic Peach • 80s\/90s Inspired Apartment has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you book your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your family.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors bothering your peace. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great time? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
