Carolina Cozy Cottage - Bring your Furr babies; NEVER a Pet Fee or Pet Deposit!

*****Carolina Cozy Cottage professionally owned and managed by Carolina Vacays.*****

Pet Friendly! NEVER a Pet Fee or Pet Deposit EVER!!!!

Charming historic bungalow built in 1926 in the Carolina Place neighborhood of Downtown Wilmington. A quaint area which offers beautiful tree-lined streets, front porches, sidewalks for walking your dog, pushing a stroller, or simply out for an evening stroll, and a beautiful mix of older and thoughtfully restored homes.

On more than one occasion, I have been told our neighborhood is reminiscent of where "Gilmore Girls" meets "The Andy Griffith Show."

(Interesting tidbit: 2 doors down is the home featured on the former TV show "One Tree Hill"...a VERY popular show filmed in Wilmington with a huge fan base. The home 2 doors down is the home where the show's main character Lucas Scott [played by Chad Michael Murray] lived in the fictitious town of Tree Hill!

Home Features:
* 2 Full Bedrooms - 2 FULL Bathrooms (primary bath includes a clawfoot bathtub and rain showerhead)
* Queen Beds in each bedroom
* Parking for 2 vehicles located in the rear of the home, right at the back door! No fighting for street parking like many of the neighbors.
* Original Hardwood floors and windows
* 10-foot ceilings
* Ceiling fans in both bedrooms, living room and front porch
* Front porch with traditional Southern swing and rockers....ready for coffee or cocktails
* Smart TV's in both bedrooms and living room
* Fully appointed kitchen equipped with a refrigerator w/ ice maker, dishwasher, range, microwave, coffee maker, range, blender, toaster, full-sized washer and dryer and ALL the cookware and dishware you would need to cook a heavenly Thanksgiving meal!
* Sheets and towels included (no additional charge as many other properties do).
* And the home character that only a 100-year old home has!
* Arrive as late as you wish on check-in day due to an electronic lock system on the back door. No one needs to be present!! Put your mind at ease that you will have your very own unique door lock and alarm code that is unable to be used again after you check-out.

Distance from the Carolina Cozy Cottage to.....
• 1.5 miles to Downtown "Proper" Wilmington Waterfront
• 7 miles to Wrightsville Beach
• A short drive to several other area beaches: Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Topsail Beach, Hampstead and Holden Beach are just a few
• 3 miles to UNC-Wilmington
• A short Uber drive to over 15+ area breweries and distilleries
• Walking distance (6-7 blocks) to the thriving Cargo District (Google it! It's FABULOUS).

We cannot stress this enough: Pets are WELCOME and NEVER A PET FEE OR DEPOSIT!!!!!! Our pets are family and we wouldn’t dream of traveling without them. We furnished our home with pets in mind - from the fenced-in front yard, to the minimal carpeting throughout the home, down to the leather living room furnishings. There is even a portable pet gate and doggie bowls available if needed.

So, whether you are visiting Wilmington for the beach, golfing, shopping, antiquing, exploring, fishing, biking, attending a wedding, visiting UNC-W, or just to get away from it all....this home is the perfect location for your Wilmington stay! We hope you will love our home as much as we do!!!!!!
We welcome 30+ day stays when available. Ask for pricing!!

Cozy Getaway in the cutest neighborhood
This cozy cottage was exactly what the doctor ordered for our family getaway. The house had everything we needed (the front porch got a lot of use:)), the beds were comfy, and we felt right at home. Easy drive to the beach and super close to downtown! Dena is the best and took great care of us!

Great accommodations in a vibrant neighborhood
The home was perfect for my wife and me; and our doggy. Enjoyed taking walks in the neighborhood with our lab. Very eclectic feel with great landscaping ideas. Able to stay on my running schedule at the local YMCA, around the block and out at Greenfield park which is a few minute drive. The home has a very comfortable feel with a great porch out front to relax. Seemed to be in close proximity to everywhere we wanted to go. Recommend staying here when you're in the area.

Quaint Historic Home
My husband and furry kids enjoyed our stay at the yellow cottage. The neighborhood is mature with older homes, trees and friendly people. The house is comfortable, nicely decorated with a vintage feel. Dena the host is accommodating, quick to respond and lovely to deal with. Old world charm with southern hospitality.

Awesome home, awesome neighborhood
We have stayed at Dena’s place twice. The location is perfect. The first stay we took our Cavalier King Charles. The neighborhood was perfect to walk him. The house is great. There’s a swing on the front porch so you can sit and relax. Dena was very nice and went beyond to make our stay great!

Great stay
It was a great stay and perfect location and proximity to the city. It wasn’t under great circumstances that we were visiting due to a funeral but it made for the perfect place to unwind and relax through an emotional time. We didn’t ever really need anything but Dena had great communication nonetheless should we actually meet anything. Rules are clear, neighborhood was cute and if I had the option I would definitely stay here again.

Week in Wilmington
We stayed in this dog friendly rental during a very hot week in July. The location is just a mile or so outside of downtown Wilmington and and easy drive to food, historic sites and the beach. The AC unit kept the house very comfortable despite temperatures in the mid 90s. The home was conveniently set up to accommodate our curious dog without much trouble. Empie dog park is a few minutes away and the neighborhood was an excellent location for daily walks. Bedding, towels, appliances, tv and other amenities were perfect and many small touches made this bungalow a wonderful stay. Highly recommended!

Great place to stay in Wilmington
We had a great extended stay in Wilmington and couldn’t have landed at a better location. The home is very comfortable and clean with everything you’d need for a perfect stay. One of the best features of the home is the front porch and it’s where we spent much of our “down time.” The neighborhood is very walkable and in a historic area of town within close proximity to many delicious restaurants. Communication with Dena was excellent, and she even helped me find a dog sitter for days when we were out on the water boating. There’s no doubt we’ll be back in the near future.

Not what we thought……..
Unfortunately the weather was terrible and we cut our trip short. I was surprised by the neighborhood….not great. When we looked at this property in line it was shown as very close to the water….it’s not. Place was cozy with a lot of wear and tear. Lacked on street parking …just no spaces available. Boat and trailer were parked very close to the driveway making it challenging to get in and out.

Nice home - great location
Nice home in a quaint , walkable neighborhood . Location was excellent for visiting downtown and adjoining neighborhoods, restaurants/bars and local attractions. Beaches were also accessible within 20 minutes or so. The home was well appointed and the kitchen well stocked; host was very pleasant and responsive. It's an older home and has a few areas that could use some tlc, but overall quite charming comfortable - and an excellent value.
