About this house rental
Enjoy the charm of this historic cottage home. Located among the many attractions of downtown and within an easy drive to the beaches, this historic yet modern home makes for the perfect spot to enjoy everything Wilmington has to offer. And if you just want to escape and relax, you have private access to the beautiful pool oasis right outside your back door. (The pool is not heated and generally too cold to be in from late September through mid-May, but the pool remains open and the pool area can be enjoyed year round.)
The historic but completely renovated home includes a comfortable living room, a dining room that seats eight, a well-equipped kitchen, and a large back deck. The two bedrooms each have their own en suite bathrooms with walk-in showers. Additional sleeping is available on the fold-out sofa in the living room. The front porch, deck, courtyard, and private pool areas offer great outdoor space for enjoying coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening, as well as a great place to soak up the sun or lounge in the shade!
All of historic downtown Wilmington is an easy walk from the house. There is off-street parking for two vehicles. All linens and towels are provided, including pool and beach towels.
This home is not only in a prime location to enjoy Wilmington, but has everything you need to make for a relaxing getaway!
Because of the outdoor space, guests often want to invite others over to join them. Small gatherings are permitted, but we ask that you inform us first if anyone not staying at the house is coming over. The house is in a residential neighborhood and we ask that our guests be courteous of our neighbors. Therefore, we don’t allow groups of more than 12 and ask hosts to monitor noise levels, particularly after 9:00pm. No events or big parties are permitted by city ordinance.
Please note that we are no longer able to accommodate pets in our home.
We live right next door to the property, so if you have any needs or questions while you are staying, we are very easy to reach.

This property was everything we’d hoped it would be and more! The owner, Matt, was a great communicator and extremely accommodating. We pulled up to the cottage at 9pm at night, hungry and tired. The front porch was lit up with hanging lights and cozy rocking chairs. The entry instructions were clear and easy to understand. Both bedrooms have en suite baths, so there was no need to fight over rooms! Just a 3 minute walk away was pizzeria, and it was open until 10pm on a weekday. A local grocery store was also open until 11pm. The house was well stocked with everything we could possibly need. There was equipment for infants, as well. The owners provided a selection of pamphlets for local tours and attractions. My husband and 15 year old daughter enjoyed a walking tour of Wilmington, showing places where famous shows and movies were filmed! Great shopping, dining, and entertainment, all within walking distance. We stayed for 3 nights, March 19-22. The day before our stay, it was 34 degrees in NC. By the weekend, it was close to 80 degrees. The pool was opened, looked beautiful, and was unheated, as clearly stated. That being said, my daughter and I both got in the pool! The house feels like it’s 3 times the actual size, due to the beautifully designed, decorated, and executed backyard oasis. This was one of our favorite vacations we’ve ever had. Book this VRBO! You won’t regret it!

We spent the most wonderful Thanksgiving time in this beautiful home. Matt was the best host in the world. We had everything we needed and it was so comfortable. We hope to stay here in the future. Kudos to Matt and Chris for a wonderful experience.
