Cozy Beach Cottage Minutes to Downtown and ILM - Pet Friendly!
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 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, weather permitting. If you're lucky you may see a little baby goat. Ask me for directions!
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 ON THE SHARED LANE OR GRASS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED!
For the safety of our guests the cottage has 2 active cameras overlooking the driveway/lane and front door and they record video and audio. These devices are on the exterior of the property and do NOT face in to any windows.
We allow up to 2 dogs for an additional price of $25.00 per night. Dogs must be leashed at all times while in the front of the house, but can run and play in the fully fenced in backyard. We ask that you please pick up any pet waste in the yard - we leave waste bags at the cottage for you as well as dog bowls, a dog bed, and a dog towel on top of the dryer for your dog.
