About this property

Carolina Cottage at Carolina Pl

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

    Charming historic bungalow built in 1917 in the Carolina Place area of City centre Wilmington. A quaint area which offers beautiful tree-lined streets, front porches, pavements 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 area is reminiscent of where "Gilmore Girls" meets "The Andy Griffith Show."

    (Interesting titbit: 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 washing machine 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 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 Cosy Cottage to.....

    • 1.5 miles to City centre "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

    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 travelling 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!!

Reunion of old friends

We truly enjoyed staying at the cottage. It was comfortable, and charming. We appreciated a chance to stay in an older home, as I always wished we could have a home like that.We also appreciated the ability to take our little doggies with us. We had a great time in Wilmington :)

Wilmington May 2025

This was a great property in a great location. It was really cute and had everything we needed. The porch was great for relaxing and people watching. All of the neighbors said hi when they walked by and the little dog next door was cute and friendly with our dog. The location was very convenient to the downtown/ riverfront area.

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!

In town for Ironman race.

The house is in the perfect location for race day. It was 4 miles from the finish line. If you are there to be near downtown Wilmington, this is perfect. Quaint neighborhood and beautiful historic home. It had everything we needed.

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!

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.

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.

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.
