About this property

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!!

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.

Charming cottage
Fantastic find! The location is perfect, offers an interesting neighborhood just for strolling. It's close to the Riverwalk, an attraction not to be missed. Bellamy Mansion tour is excellent. The owner was so kind and helpful. Her cottage is lovely. We highly recommend booking here.

About the host

Hosted by Dena and Darren

Host profile image
We have lived in North Carolina all of my life (minus a short few years in Atlanta). Restoring homes has always been my passion. This home and neighborhood has our heart. So much so that we bought the home down the street to live in forever in the near future....well, if we can EVER finish the renovation! HA!! Looking forward to moving away from the Triangle Area (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill) and living our best Beach Life!!

Why they chose this property

In addition to the idyllic neighborhood, the historic home from 1926 spoke to me when I first walked in the front door. It was the perfect size; the perfect craftsman - cottage - bungalow look. Most important of all...I could restore it back to its glory.


My home is still a work in progress; so, please excuse its quirks and imperfections...Thank you for your love of older homes!!

What makes this property unique

The statement about that "Gilmore Girls" meets "The Andy Griffith Show" resonates and you will feel that vibe when you arrive.

When I walked inside for the first time, the home had not been stripped to its studs. It still retaining the original windows, floors, interior French doors, cracked and wayward plaster walls, wood doors and hardware. When I walked outside onto the porch, there were neighbors across the street introducing themselves to me.....I knew this was the place!!! I've kept it true to its heritage as much as possible.

Pet Friendly! Two Full Bedrooms....Two FULL Baths (one with a claw foot bathtub and rain shower) as well as Parking for TWO vehicles located in the back right at the back door! No fighting for street parking like many of the neighbors! Sheets and towels are provided and included in the rate (There is not an additional charge as many other homes). 2 porches, white picket fence and beautiful landscaping add more character to the home!

DOGGIES ARE WELCOME!!!!
