We were looking for a little getaway with our pups. This was the BEST.ever! A very quiet neighborhood, tucked away, yet close to stores and downtown Wilmington. The cottage was immaculate! The backyard pool was absolutely magical! We spent most of our time just sitting outside listening to the birds and circadas and crickets in the evening. LOVED the clean pool, it was so refreshing on the hot days! It had everything we needed! Will definitely return!

Loved it

Stay reminded me of my favorite Clint Eastwood movie, ‘The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.’ - The Good: The home was beautiful, inside and out. We loved the rustic feel and warmth of the home. All appliances, except the dryer, seemed to work well. - The Bad: At check in time, the cleaners/repairmen were still working – we never got a call. After checking in, we went to throw some trash away and the trash bin was completely full. House rules said the trash would be picked up on Mon…we arrived on Friday. The dryer was subpar – took multiple cycles to dry. - The Ugly: Ants & intrusive neighbor. Literally, within 1 hr of arriving, the ants had taken over. Everything on the counter in the kitchen was attacked – had to throw away several items. They were present in every room except the living room. However, the absolute worst part of the stay was an intrusive neighbor. Keep in mind, we are two couples in our 60s. On Sunday, we were relaxing at the pool while playing some country music from a $16 Dollar General am/fm radio…this thing could barely be heard at the end of the pool. I received a text from the owner about 3 pm who said a neighbor was complaining of noise. After getting text, we shut off the music & came inside. This same intrusive neighbor had also cowardly taped a letter to the front door that read, “The people in this neighborhood like it QUIET. Why don’t you all try to just swim and lounge by pool while listening to Mother Nature.” We won't be back!!

Huge Magnolia that we needed to skim the pool daily. Dishes required hand washing because there is not a dishwasher. Wall Switches were missing knobs and we were afraid to touch them so we used hand towels. There is a garden hose on the right side of the house to remove any sand before going in the house. I suggested adding the key to the yard door to go at the back of the house were there is a shower right at the door.

The pool is worth this booking. My family loved it and most of our time was spent in it. The home itself needs some updates but I would recommend and would book again if in the area.

The property was clean inside but could use a bit of landscaping. While our say was pleasant, we had some concerns about the electrical system. Very interesting 2nd bathroom.

Loved the pool and the porch swing. Hated the bugs in the kitchen !!

Third time staying here- love the pool, and the close location to shopping and the beach!

The property is super clean. The furniture is clean and comfortable. The pool is great. Mike, the owner and pool guy is wonderful to work with. He’s very respectful of your stay and will work around your plans to tend to the pool.

Totally fun throw back to a different era. My husband and I found this cottage to be a simple yet perfectly adequate and charming place to stay with our 2 small dogs while we familiarized ourselves with Wilmington. The neighborhood reminded me of days gone by, before everything became cookie cutter, too new and too big. Quiet and Very walkable with our dogs. The backyard is supremely private and the pool was very clean and clear. I used the pool extensively during our month stay, and Owner Mike, aka pool boy, was very attentive and friendly. The beds were comfy and rooms were spacious, except for small kitchen, which I loved. When we had family/friend visit for a few nights we had plenty of room. Fun place to stay.

My wife and I were in town for a wedding. Nice cozy cottage with an excellent backyard pool only wish we could have used it more. Everything as described with zero issues. Quiet neighborhood. A little over 2 miles to the downtown riverfront area and 20-25 minute drive to the beach. Recommendations - would have liked to have beach towels for the pool or to take to the beach, my wife missed not having an iron and hair dryer (most of the places that we have stayed at they have both). A couple beach chairs to take to the beach would have been nice also.

Would recommend to anyone great house great location great place to stay

Enjoyed our stay, the weather was beautiful.

Well cared for and comfortable

Excellent location to surrounding towns. Close to downtown Wilmington. Great shops and restaurants. We had a pool which is great in warm weather.

The owner was at the property when we arrived and let us check in 1 1/2 hours early, the property was clean and the pool out back was amazing. We brought our 2 dogs with us and really enjoyed the fenced in backyard for them to roam. We will definitely be staying here again.

Great location in a quiet neighborhood close to DT Wilmington and about 17 mins to Wrightsville beach. The private pool and fenced in yard made the home. Great for dogs and just relaxing! Had to bring certain things to accommodate high maintenance pups, tv for bedroom so they stay quiet while we were out and some runners for the floors. Only thing I would recommend is having a non stick frying pan and maybe memory foam topper for the queen bed for ppl who like a softer mattress. But all in all, wonderful stay and we hope we’ll be welcomed back 😁

Cute little home with big appeal. Super quiet neighborhood and amazing pool In the back yard.. I'd stay here again.. Any old home is going to have some small issues but the benefits far outweigh..

We had an amazing vacation! The house was very clean. Furniture (including beds) were very comfortable. The pool was great and much bigger than expected. Mike, the property owner, was extremely attentive and helpful.

Upon arriving door was unlocked but given wrong passcode to obtain key out of lock box. Home smelled old and stuffy someone came and turned on the air right before our arrival. So, that may be because it’s not occupied regularly I would recommend going in the evening before or morning of to air out and make it smell good. Pool had leaves and debri and ants that bit us. Note was left explaining to us how to clean out pool. We tried to enjoy it but only went in once and did not use the remainder of our time. Cat hair all over the place. Leaking sink in main bathroom. Decided to check out a day early because I was uncomfortable. However neighborhood was quiet.

We had a completely relaxing stay at this clean and cozy home. The pool and yard were enjoyable every day. i appreciated the comfortable beds!!! thank you!!

Really enjoyed this beautiful cozy little house. The swimming pool was a huge plus!!we will definitely be back! The neighborhood was so quiet. We loved it. We left a bag of charcoal and a can of charcoal lighter fluid in the container in the back yard ,that we bought and never used. Hopefully the next guest can use it. The last couple of days we got a lot of rain from hurricane Sally. But it was beautiful warm rain. If you are thinking about renting this house ! Do it! You won't regret it !
