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 appeal of Carolina Cozy Cottage, a gorgeously maintained 1926 bungalow located in the tree-lined Carolina Place neighborhood of historic Downtown Wilmington. This gorgeous area is ideal for leisurely walks, porch sitting with a cup of coffee, and soaking in the modest-town ambiance.

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

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

Tricks and tips to get the best Wilmington vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Wilmington. To find the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Cape Fear area restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking the bestrental:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Carolina Cozy Cottage - Bring your Furr babies; NEVER a Pet Fee or Pet Deposit! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what is optimal for your group.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area destination you are crazy about, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Record any issues with the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out 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 terrific stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
