Bright 1915 Historic Cottage Pet Friendly 🐶 Near Beach & Downtown, Great Spot!!

The "Happy Place" is centrally located to all that Wilmington has to offer. We are less than 2 miles from UNCW, 3 miles from Historic Downtown Wilmington, and 6 miles from Wrightsville Beach. 1915 charm meets coastal modern. The home is pet-friendly and has a spacious, fully fenced backyard. Inside features a fully stocked kitchen, dining room, living room, 3
bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a sunroom/"coffee room."

The Space
Cheer will feel you as you pull up to this bright, adorable bungalow built in 1915. My house is located on a main road for easy access, but it's set back from the street, offering added privacy and safety, with a fully fenced-in backyard for peace of mind. You'll immediately notice the huge amount of parking available, making arrivals and departures hassle-free
Inside features a coastal living room with a smart TV, plenty of seating, and stocked with games and puzzles. The living room opens to the spacious dining room, which seats 6 and boasts tons of natural light. The kitchen is well equipped and even awaits treats for your pups.
Overlooking the backyard is a charming, eclectic sunroom which houses the coffee bar and even a desk for those needing to work remotely. The first bedroom is a cheery space with a queen bed. This bedroom shares a full bathroom with a tub with the second bedroom, which has 1 twin bed and 1 full bed, sleeping 3 in this room. The third bedroom is a fun, little space with a twin bed and an ensuite bathroom with a stand-up shower. Get outside and enjoy the huge backyard complete with a charcoal grill, deck, and patio.
Recent 2025 upgrades include brand new flooring and fun, fresh wallpaper. I know this home will also be your "happy place."

The driveway holds at least 4 cars. 2 cars can also be parked parallel to the house, right off the street.

We had a wonderful stay at this adorable rental house. Cozy and clean inside and out. It was thoughtfully and thoroughly stocked with everything needed for a comfortable vacation. We especially appreciated the pet-friendly fenced yard. With a great location just minutes from restaurants, shops, and attractions, it was easy to get around. The provided suggestions for local dining and activities were a fantastic touch. We will definitely be renting this house again!

Pleasantly surprised by how nice the house is compared to the pictures on VRBO. The house is well decorated and clean (considering it's pet friendly) Great space for the group to hang out on the large couch in the living room or have breakfast at the kitchen table in the morning. The backyard is fully fenced in and you can trust your pet won't find a way out. Makes the vacation more laid back knowing you can let the dogs out, instead of getting the leash and harness on. Overall great accommodates and very well located to the beach or downtown Wilmington.
