Carolina Cottage at Carolina Pl

Carolina Cozy Cottage – A Charming Historic Retreat by Carolina Vacays

Another home professionally owned and managed by Carolina Vacays.

Pet-Friendly – No Fees, No Deposits, Ever!

Step back in time and experience the charm of Carolina Cozy Cottage, a beautifully maintained 1926 bungalow nestled in the tree-lined Carolina Place neighborhood of historic Downtown Wilmington. This picturesque area is perfect for leisurely walks, porch sitting with a cup of coffee, and soaking in the small-town ambiance.

Many guests have described our neighborhood as where “Gilmore Girls” meets “The Andy Griffith Show” – a friendly, walkable community with a delightful mix of classic homes.

(Fun fact: The home two doors down was featured as Lucas Scott’s house in the hit TV show One Tree Hill! A little piece of Wilmington’s Hollywood history.)

Inside the Cottage: Classic Charm Meets Modern Comfort.....

* 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms – Both with queen beds and plush linens
* Primary bath with a clawfoot soaking tub and rain showerhead
* Fully stocked kitchen – Everything you need to prepare a gourmet meal (yes, even Thanksgiving dinner!)
* Original hardwood floors, 9 1/2-ft ceilings, and large windows for natural light
* Smart TVs in both bedrooms & living room
* Ceiling fans throughout for a cool coastal breeze
* Self-check-in with an electronic keypad for hassle-free arrivals
* All linens & towels included (No surprise fees!)

Southern Hospitality Starts on the Porch.....

Relax on the front porch swing or one of the classic rocking chairs – the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee or wind down with an evening cocktail. The fenced-in front yard is great for pets, and the private parking for two cars (right by the back door) means no street-parking stress.

A Prime Location – Close to Everything.....

* 1.5 miles to the Downtown Wilmington Riverwalk
* 7 miles to Wrightsville Beach
* 6-7 blocks to the vibrant Cargo District (boutiques, breweries, and creative spaces!)
* Minutes from golf courses, shopping, and historic sites
* 1.5 miles from University of NC at Wilmington (UNC-W)
* Short drive to multiple beaches – Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Topsail, and more

Truly Pet-Friendly – No Gimmicks, No Fees!
Your furry friends are always welcome at Carolina Cozy Cottage! We designed the home with pets in mind.....

* Fenced yard for worry-free playtime
* Leather furniture & minimal carpeting – No stress about pet hair
* Dog bowls & a pet gate available for use

Because we believe vacations should include the whole family—without extra costs.

The house is absolutely charming, just like the neighborhood. Dena was so kind and thoughtful, she makes you feel right at home! They have everything you need - even potty bags for your dogs. And they are SO amazing about bringing your pups. Seriously if you are considering this property go for it. The location is perfect, its a happy little house, and the hosts are top notch!

This was a great property in a great location. It was really cute and had everything we needed. The porch was great for relaxing and people watching. All of the neighbors said hi when they walked by and the little dog next door was cute and friendly with our dog. The location was very convenient to the downtown/ riverfront area.

We truly enjoyed staying at the cottage. It was comfortable, and charming. We appreciated a chance to stay in an older home, as I always wished we could have a home like that.We also appreciated the ability to take our little doggies with us. We had a great time in Wilmington :)

Cozy Getaway in the cutest neighborhood

This cozy cottage was exactly what the doctor ordered for our family getaway. The house had everything we needed (the front porch got a lot of use:)), the beds were comfy, and we felt right at home. Easy drive to the beach and super close to downtown! Dena is the best and took great care of us!

Great accommodations in a vibrant neighborhood

The home was perfect for my wife and me; and our doggy. Enjoyed taking walks in the neighborhood with our lab. Very eclectic feel with great landscaping ideas. Able to stay on my running schedule at the local YMCA, around the block and out at Greenfield park which is a few minute drive. The home has a very comfortable feel with a great porch out front to relax. Seemed to be in close proximity to everywhere we wanted to go. Recommend staying here when you're in the area.

My husband and furry kids enjoyed our stay at the yellow cottage. The neighborhood is mature with older homes, trees and friendly people. The house is comfortable, nicely decorated with a vintage feel. Dena the host is accommodating, quick to respond and lovely to deal with. Old world charm with southern hospitality.

Great stay

It was a great stay and perfect location and proximity to the city. It wasn’t under great circumstances that we were visiting due to a funeral but it made for the perfect place to unwind and relax through an emotional time. We didn’t ever really need anything but Dena had great communication nonetheless should we actually meet anything. Rules are clear, neighborhood was cute and if I had the option I would definitely stay here again.
