About this Property

• Sleeps 2
• 1 Bedrooms
• 1 Bathrooms
• Cottage
• Approximately 465 square feet

Adults only, (all guests must be 21 or older). Two guests max!!! Also, I get a lot of requests for modest family pets. Due to safety and health concerns, I cannot accommodate any pets at all. That includes service or support animals. No 3rd event bookings. The person booking, must be the person staying and the person that's name is on the account. The bungalow is to the rear left of my property behind the main home where I reside. If you look at the aerial photo, you can see the proximity the bungalow is to the home. It's about a 25 foot distance. It is very private though but for purposes of full disclosure, some outdoor spaces are visible from my ring cameras. For instance, my ring camera at my back door can pick up who enters the back yard and bungalow but does not pick up images from inside the bungalow or the private back patio to the bungalow. I also have a ring camera on my front door that can see the driveway. That being said, you’re going to adore the privacy and the location of this cozy bungalow, tucked away smack dab between Wrightsville and Carolina Beach in the fashionable Masonboro section of Wilmington. For those unfamiliar with Wilmington, this area is not only very desired, but also very safe! The driveway is not paved and the path to the bungalow is also unpaved but has concrete stepping stones that lead you to the bungalow door. The middle space in the parking area is the designated space for the bungalow. There is only one parking space designated for the bungalow. If you have a friend or family member stop by for a visit, they will need to park in the street in front of my home. If you are interested in booking the bungalow, please note: No events or events. No smoking or vaping of anything inside bungalow or patio room. No pets of any kind including service animals. Not suitable for kids. Guests must be twenty one and older. Two guest max. Please do not remove any artwork from walls, including the nude woman pencil drawing in the bathroom. If the artwork in my home offends anyone, it is best they don't book a stay at the bungalow.

This 465sf Cozy Cottage comes with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. Conveniences also include washer and dryer, the full kitchen minus a dishwasher, Keurig for coffee, tea, pots, pans, dishes, silverware, etc...

Our top Rental home booking tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Wilmington. Reserve your Cape Fear area rental in the Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitors guides which include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental in the Cape Fear area area:

• Start by having your group select dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. The Artist's Cottage is the ideal home away from home! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your family.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or charges may be applied to your contract.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
