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 beautiful 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.)

Southern Hospitality Starts on the Porch.....

Tricks and tips to get the best rental home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Book your Cape Fear area rental property in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many property management companies supply Cape Fear area area visitor guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking your prefect Cape Fear area vacation home:

• First, have your family choose vacation dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Carolina Cozy Cottage - Bring your Furr babies; NEVER a Pet Fee or Pet Deposit! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If there's a particular Cape Fear area attraction you long to visit, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from 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 your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order 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 review.
