While we want you to have the best time possible, we do have some house rules that you will need to agree to prior to booking our home.
Please note: After making the online request, guests will receive email communication from the owner with next steps.

• Outdoor security cameras are located at the front and back doors. There are no indoor cameras inside the property.
• Check-in time is 4 pm. I will send a keycode to you within 24 hours of your check-in time.
• Check out time is 10 am. Late check outs are not allowed and will result in an additional fee of $100 to be charged against the security deposit.
• Please park your vehicles in the front yard/driveway of the house. Do NOT drive your cars to the rear of the house or place them on the street.
• This is a smoking and vaping free home. Please do NOT smoke inside or outside of the house. Evidence of smoking or vaping will result in a non-refundable fee of $200 (this will be in addition to the loss of the security deposit).
• No illegal drugs of any kind will be allowed on or inside the property at any time.
• No parties or third-party vendors are allowed at the house or in the yard during your stay. Respect quiet hours and please keep noise to a minimum starting at 11 pm.
• Dogs are allowed at our home with a limit of two dogs. We kindly ask that you keep them off of the furniture. No cats or other animals of any kind are allowed.
• Please pick up after your dog so that our floors and the next guests’ shoes can stay clean. 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 hardwood 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.
• Only the guests that have been listed at the time the reservation was made are allowed at the home. If more guests arrive then are listed on the reservation, you will be asked to leave and your deposit will not be returned.
• Please empty all trashcans prior to checking out.
• We have lovely butcherblock counters in the kitchen that we would like to keep looking nice. Please use the cutting boards when making your meals and do not cut food on the countertops.
• Please do not rearrange the furniture in the house.
• Do not put wipes of any kind – even if they say they are flushable - down the toilet.
• Please do not bring food or drinks (other than water) in the bedrooms.
• All sheets, pillow cases, bath towels, hand towels, and kitchen towels need to be placed in the laundry bag and left in the living room. Please leave each bedroom’s comforter on top of the bed.
• Please place all dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Do NOT start the dishwasher as our cleaning crew will do so when they arrive.
• Grilling, fire pits, fireworks, candles – really anything that involves fire – is not allowed.
• Please do not access the two outdoor sheds as they are for the hosts only.
**cancellation policy for Daydream_Wilmington:
100% refund if canceled 14 days before check-in
50% refund if canceled 7-14 days before check-in
otherwise, no refund
In coastal cities waterbugs are prevalent due to the warm, humid climate. We have an exterminator spray the yard and house quarterly, and even more during the summer.
Daydream_Wilmington was built in 1954. We, as owners, felt it was important to keep the authentic character of the home (original doors, doorknobs, hardwood floors, etc) while completing the renovations. Therefore, some doors might not close easily, the floors might squeak, or there could be other small details you notice during your stay that come with an older home. We hope you appreciate the original, vintage vibe of our home while enjoying the modern updates of today.

About the host
Hosted by Katie Humphries

Hi there! My name is Katie. My husband and I are graduates of UNCW. We absolutely love this town, so much that we want a little piece of it for ourselves. We purchased th property in November 2022 and spent 5 months renovating it from top to bottom. We worked really hard to keep the fun, beachy, vintage feel of the home while bringing it up to today's standards. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you might have. We hope you enjoy staying at Daydream_Wilmington!
