Adorable cottage in downtown Wilmington!

We had the best time exploring the local breweries, live music at live oak pavilion, and tasty Mediterranean food! The location of the cottage is perfect for those looking to explore downtown! Will be back soon, thank you.

Peaceful

Owners were very nice and quick to answer questions. Nice stay and close to everything. We were out most of the time but the backyard was a nice place to relax in the evenings. It had everything we needed for the short time we were there. Just bring a hair blow dryer. Thanks for the stay.

This property is absolutely adorable and has everything to make your stay perfect. There is such individuality in every room and it makes you truly feel at home away from home. The patio and back yard space is wonderful to relax. Bryan responded immediately with any questions and was very welcoming. We had a wonderful time in Wilmington and this home made it even more special! Thank you!

Cute and Comfortable

I stayed here two nights. The cottage has a great fully fenced backyard for dogs and the bed was SO comfortable! I wasn’t wild about the neighborhood but I didn’t have any trouble and I would stay here again.

Overall very good

The check in had good communication. The house was very cute, it was very small but just fine for two people. We had about 4 cockroaches spotted in the house during our stay which wasn't fun, but the whole neighborhood was crawling with them so I didn't take that as the house being gross. It is right by everything, so that is nice. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.

Great place for a weekend getaway.

Location location location...We (2 people) were in Wilmington for an event at the Battleship. It was very convenient and less than a 10 minute drive. On Saturday we went to the waterfront to walk around/shop/visit breweries and distillery...it was a five minute drive. We also visited some other areas around Wilmington and the drive was never very long (all less than 10 minutes). The house is older and small, but clean and well stocked kitchen; multiple TVs; great side porch for enjoying the afternoon and evenings; there were games and things but we didn't really use them...but they were there. I did need to contact the owner (no big deal) and received a response within 30 minutes. We hope it will be available for us next year.

Wonderful weekend!

Darling little bungalow-type home with plenty of amenities. It was exactly what we needed for a last-minute stay. Only advice to owner is that the bunk room with the rope ladder gave us a good laugh. For anyone older than 25 and unfit that bed could be a challenge to access. Also when you park in the grass you have to drive over a ditch/curb area, which can wreak havoc on the bottom of a packed car. Just need some fill dirt. Otherwise, thank you. Super weekend.

Great House for our anniversary

I surprised my wife with a trip to Wilmington, North Carolina for our 1 year anniversary. We had always talked about one day taking a trip to Wilmington to visit the sights of her favorite TV show One Tree Hill. I booked this house based on location and what it had to offer and for the 2 of us it was perfect. A fully stocked kitchen with spices and things most would need to cook which sounds crazy but most rental homes don't have such things usually so it was nice that it was there. There is a 2nd bedroom that realistically anyone thats not a child would be able to stay in the 2nd or 3rd bunk but there are mattresses there If you needed it. The house was clean when we got there and we kept it that way. The bathroom was clean which is always a plus. I was a big fan of the outdoor porch on the side of the house. There is a propane fire pit but I couldn't get it to light, but that could just be on me. The house is super close to the downtown area as well and myself and the wife did make several stops to different bars and restaurants in the area. We are planning to come back again to the city and will for sure keep this location in mind for another rental
