From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a striking, oversized mural that sets the tone for the space—artful, layered, and completely unique. The open-concept living area is anchored by warm wood tones, a rich leather sofa, and soft, ambient lighting that creates a cozy atmosphere day or night. Natural light pours in through the large sliding doors, leading you out to your private balcony where you can take in sweeping water views—perfect for morning coffee or unwinding at sunset.
The kitchen is fully equipped for your stay, whether you’re preparing a full meal or just enjoying a quiet morning in.

A soft, layered bed with quality linens, warm lighting, and a calming green accent wall create a restful space to unwind after a day exploring Wilmington. The room is styled with a mix of organic and classic elements, giving it a timeless, comfortable feel that photographs beautifully and sleeps even better.
The bathroom is clean, spacious, and stocked with essentials, featuring a large vanity and a shower/tub combination—ideal for both quick mornings and slower, more relaxed evenings.

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.

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.

Location Information One of the best parts of this location is its convenient access to nearby restaurants, shops, and attractions.
