10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
Heather and Rhonda were outstanding hosts. We stayed for a month while my daughter recovered from surgery, and this cottage was exactly what we needed. Everything was modern, clean, and well maintained. The place is adorable, cozy & comfortable, with thoughtful touches like board games that made it feel welcoming and easy to settle into. The location in the Cargo District is great- quiet, convenient, and close to so many unique things to do. Communication was stellar from start to finish. They were responsive, kind, and genuinely cared about our experience and even asked about my daughters recovery. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Great place and location
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
This is a hidden gem! The house is adorable and convenient to major attractions. There are lots of amenities on the property to use & enjoy. There is even a container village with lots of restaurants across the street. I was concerned there would be a lot of noise, but the majority of the businesses closed around 9 pm. We had no problems and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

This place was so comfortable and is nicely decorated. It definitely felt like home away from home. The cargo district across the street has a wonderful coffee shop that we went to each morning and a wide array of food options for lunch and dinner. The small shops were fun to look through. We were less than 10 minutes from downtown Wilmington and less than 25 from Wrightsville Beach. Incredible place to stay, both location and property wise
