Carolina Cozy Cottage – A Charming Historic Retreat by Carolina Vacays

Another home professionally owned and managed by Carolina Vacays.

Pet-Friendly – No Fees, No Deposits, Ever!

Step back in time and experience the appeal of Carolina Cozy Cottage, a gorgeously maintained 1926 bungalow located in the tree-lined Carolina Place neighborhood of historic Downtown Wilmington. This gorgeous area is ideal for leisurely walks, porch sitting with a cup of coffee, and soaking in the modest-town ambiance.

Many guests have described our neighborhood as where “Gilmore Girls” meets “The Andy Griffith Show” – a friendly, walkable community with a enchanting mix of classic homes.

(Fun fact: The home two doors down was featured as Lucas Scott’s home in the hit TV show One Tree Hill! A little piece of Wilmington’s Hollywood history.)

Southern Hospitality Starts on the Porch.....

Wilmington vacation rental tips:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Wilmington. To find the best value, try changing your trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Wilmington, NC visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to select the perfect vacation rental in the Wilmington, NC area:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Carolina Cozy Cottage - Bring your Furr babies; NEVER a Pet Fee or Pet Deposit! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you reserve your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
