Pet Friendly! NEVER a Pet Fee or Pet Deposit EVER!!!!

Charming historic bungalow constructed in 1926 in the Carolina Place neighborhood of Downtown Wilmington. A cozy area which offers charming tree-lined streets, front porches, sidewalks for walking your dog, pushing a stroller, or simply out for an evening walk, and a striking mix of older and thoughtfully restored homes.

On more than one occasion, I have been told our neighborhood is reminiscent of where "Gilmore Girls" meets "The Andy Griffith Show."

(Interesting tidbit: 2 doors down is the home featured on the former TV show "One Tree Hill"...a VERY fashionable show filmed in Wilmington with a humongous fan base. The home 2 doors down is the home where the show's main character Lucas Scott [played by Chad Michael Murray] lived in the fictitious town of Tree Hill!

Home Features:
* 2 Full Bedrooms - 2 FULL Bathrooms (primary bath includes a clawfoot bathtub and rain showerhead)
* Queen Beds in each bedroom
* Parking for 2 cars located in the rear of the home, right at the back door! No fighting for street parking like many of the neighbors.
* Original Wood floors and windows
* 10-foot ceilings
* Ceiling fans in both bedrooms, living room and front porch
* Front porch with traditional Southern swing and rockers....ready for coffee or drinks
* Intelligent TV's in both bedrooms and living room
* Totally appointed kitchen equipped with a refrigerator w/ ice maker, dishwasher, range, microwave, coffee maker, range, blender, toaster, full-sized washer and dryer and ALL the cookware and dishware you would need to prepare a heavenly Thanksgiving meal!
* Sheets and towels supplied (no additional charge as many other properties do).
* And the home character that only a 100-year old home has!
* Arrive as late as you wish on check-in day due to an electronic lock system on the back door. No one needs to be present!! Put your mind at ease that you will have your very own unique door lock and alarm code that is unable to be used again after you check-out.

We cannot anxiety this enough: Family Animals are WELCOME and NEVER A PET FEE OR DEPOSIT!!!!!! Our family pets are family and we wouldn’t dream of traveling without them.

There is even a portable pet gate and doggie bowls available if needed.

Cape Fear area rental home tips:

When to go & When to book:

• Summer is high season in Wilmington. To get the best value, try changing your trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, rental management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides which include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Cape Fear area visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and picking your prefectrental home:

• Choose vacation week and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Carolina Cozy Cottage - Bring your Furr babies; NEVER a Pet Fee or Pet Deposit! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you reserve the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area attraction you crave, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or could be applied to your contract.

Tips for a great stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
