About this Property

• Sleeps 2
• 1 Bedrooms
• 1 Bathrooms
• Cottage
• Approximately 465 square feet

Adults only, (all guests must be 21 or older). Two guests max!!! Also, I get a lot of requests for modest family pets. Due to safety and health concerns, I cannot accommodate any pets at all. That includes service or support animals. No 3rd event bookings. The person booking, must be the person staying and the person that's name is on the account. The bungalow is to the rear left of my property behind the main home where I reside. If you look at the aerial photo, you can see the proximity the bungalow is to the home. It's about a 25 foot distance. It is very private though but for purposes of full disclosure, some outdoor spaces are visible from my ring cameras. For instance, my ring camera at my back door can pick up who enters the back yard and bungalow but does not pick up images from inside the bungalow or the private back patio to the bungalow. I also have a ring camera on my front door that can see the driveway. That being said, you’re going to appreciate the privacy and the location of this cozy bungalow, tucked away smack dab between Wrightsville and Carolina Beach in the trendy Masonboro section of Wilmington. For those unfamiliar with Wilmington, this area is not only very desired, but also very safe! The driveway is not paved and the path to the bungalow is also unpaved but has concrete stepping stones that lead you to the bungalow door. The middle space in the parking area is the designated space for the bungalow. There is only one parking space designated for the bungalow. If you have a friend or family member stop by for a visit, they will need to park in the street in front of my home. If you are interested in booking the bungalow, please note: No events or events. No smoking or vaping of anything inside bungalow or patio room. No pets of any kind including service animals. Not suitable for kids. Guests must be twenty one and older. Two guest max. Please do not remove any artwork from walls, including the nude woman pencil drawing in the bathroom. If the artwork in my home offends anyone, it is best they don't book a stay at the bungalow.

This 465sf Cozy Cottage comes with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. Conveniences also include washer and dryer, the full kitchen minus a dishwasher, Keurig for coffee, tea, pots, pans, dishes, silverware, etc... A modest brick private patio off the back of the bungalow has a table and two chairs, a lion fountain, and roses and flowers seasonally. Other outdoor spaces include the fire pit and the patio room.

Our top Vacation rental tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Wilmington. To find the largest rental for your budget, we recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Wilmington, NC restaurants and activities.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Wilmington, NC visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. The Artist's Cottage is the ideal home away from home! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the host before you book the home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.

• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to stimulate new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
