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

Charming historic bungalow constructed in 1926 in the Carolina Place neighborhood of Downtown Wilmington. A cozy area which offers charming tree-lined streets, front porches, sidewalks for walking your dog, pushing a stroller, or simply out for an evening walk, and a striking 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 fashionable show filmed in Wilmington with a humongous 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 cars located in the rear of the home, right at the back door! No fighting for street parking like many of the neighbors.
* Original Wood 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 beverages
* Intelligent TV's in both bedrooms and living room
* Totally 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 prepare 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.....

We cannot anxiety this enough: Animals are WELCOME and NEVER A PET FEE OR DEPOSIT!!!!!! Our family 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, cycling, attending a wedding, visiting UNC-W, or just to get away from it all....this home is the ideal location for your Wilmington stay! We hope you will adore our home as much as we do!!!!!!

Tricks and tips to get the perfect Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Wilmington. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose vacation dates and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Carolina Cozy Cottage - Bring your Furr babies; NEVER a Pet Fee or Pet Deposit! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible online. If not, call the property management company before booking your home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your group.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your contract.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips for your stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of problems.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect your property!
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
