Rated a guest favorite and super host on other booking platforms. This pet friendly hidden gem is situated on a private little lane and is close to everything Wilmington has to offer! • 2 bedrooms (each with a queen size bed) • 2 full baths (one in MB) • VERY large private fenced in backyard with picnic table and BBQ grille • 2 miles from ILM airport • 2 mile to downtown Wilmington with its restaurants, bars, riverwalk, Amphitheater, wedding venues, and more! • 2.5 miles to the Convention Center and Live Oak Bank Pavillion Music/Show venue • 5 miles to UNC Wilmington campus • 6 miles to golf courses • Less than 10 miles from Wrightsville Beach • A short drive to Carolina Beach Amusement Boardwalk and miniature golf as well as the North Carolina Aquarium! We are located on a shared private lane with two other cottages which is what makes this cottage so quaint and cozy! Relax and unwind in the homey living area, or on the private front porch. Grab some steaks and grille in the large private fully fenced backyard were you furry friends can run and play. The cottage is also a very short walk from a little goat farm where you can sit on a bench and feed the goats for 25 cents. If you're lucky you may see a little baby goat. We supply enough paper towels, toilet paper, coffee, tea, sugars and creamers to get you through your first couple of days. For longer stays there is a Food Lion supermarket less than 2 mi from the cottage. There are 2 designated gravel parking spaces for the cottage, one in front and one on the side of the cottage. Parking in the shared lane or on the grass is strictly prohibited. For the safety of our guests the cottage has 1 active camera overlooking the driveway/lane and front door and it records video and audio. This device is on the exterior of the property and does NOT face in to any windows. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - No elevator (single-level property) - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Local artist showcase - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - Recycling - Unit size: 1,040 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111340000/111338400/111338389/3e024661.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tilly's Cottage - Fully Fenced-in Yard with Stocked Coffee Bar Northside - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 21 reviews CA $111 CA $322 total includes taxes & fees Dec 7 - Dec 8 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=111338389&PinnedHotelID=111338389&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100150000/100143300/100143299/011b9b9c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Boho Bungalow - Downtown - Free Parking Brooklyn Arts District - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 9.6 Exceptional 35 reviews CA $118 CA $314 total includes taxes & fees Nov 11 - Nov 12 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=100143299&PinnedHotelID=100143299&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103500000/103497600/103497503/790175ae.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sunny Bungalow in Quaint Neighborhood Setting - Dog Friendly Carolina Place - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 37 reviews CA $127 CA $296 total includes taxes & fees Nov 9 - Nov 10 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-09&endDate=2025-11-10&selected=103497503&PinnedHotelID=103497503&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106960000/106955500/106955446/4bddc25e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3 Bedroom Downtown Wilmington Bungalow by Castle St Wilmington Historic District - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.2 Wonderful 25 reviews CA $95 CA $391 total includes taxes & fees Nov 17 - Nov 18 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-17&endDate=2025-11-18&selected=106955446&PinnedHotelID=106955446&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71060000/71058900/71058890/de119e3f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Corner condo at the doorstep of the intercostal waterway and local restaurants!
