About this Property

This beautiful 1800’s Victorian duplex 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 upstairs 2 bedroom 1 bath duplex has tons of windows and natural light. It also includes access to the front porch that has a swing and additional seating and a deck with furnishings that is ideal for appreciating a cup of coffee or a meal. The living room has comfortable seating and a sizable Roku intelligent TV. One bedroom has a queen bed, TV, and a view of the cobblestone street. The second smaller bedroom has a twin size bunk bed and intelligent TV. The 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 bathroom has a tile shower with a glass door.

This duplex is just a stone’s throw to downtown Wilmington, so you can walk to downtown and savor 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. Only a 30 min. drive to the beaches!

Note that this unit is accessed via a full flight of steps.

Strategies to get the very best vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in the Brunswick area area. To get the best value, try changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Brunswick area area visitors guides which often include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose a group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Urban Oasis has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you reserve the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Upon arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to drive new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
