If your dog messes on the floors in the bedrooms or the living room, please wipe the mess up with paper towels and then spray the Bona wood cleaner over the spot. If they mess in the kitchen, please use the 409 cleaner after you have dried up the mess with paper towels.

Also, for the safety of your dog and others please keep your dog on a leash when they are outside.

In coastal cities waterbugs are prevalent due to the warm, humid climate. We have an exterminator spray the yard and home quarterly, and even more during the summer.

Daydream_Wilmington was constructed in 1954. We, as owners, felt it was important to keep the authentic character of the home (original doors, doorknobs, wood floors, etc) while completing the renovations. Therefore, some doors might not close comfortably, the floors might squeak, or there could be other modest details you notice during your stay that come with an older home. We hope you appreciate the original, vintage vibe of our home while appreciating the modern updates of today.

How to get the best Wilmington rental experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Book your Wrightsville Beach vacation in the Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many management companies supply Wrightsville Beach area visitor guides which include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Wrightsville Beach area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the best rental home in the Wrightsville Beach area:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. cute home close to UNCW has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. If not, email the property owner before booking your home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your vacation group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

More considerations:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many difficulties.
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good reviews to propel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
