Carolina Cottage at Carolina Pl

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 charm of Carolina Cozy Cottage, a beautifully maintained 1926 bungalow nestled in the tree-lined Carolina Place neighborhood of historic Downtown Wilmington. This picturesque area is perfect for leisurely walks, porch sitting with a cup of coffee, and soaking in the small-town ambiance.

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

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

Inside the Cottage: Classic Charm Meets Modern Comfort.....

* 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms – Both with queen beds and plush linens
* Primary bath with a clawfoot soaking tub and rain showerhead
* Fully stocked kitchen – Everything you need to prepare a gourmet meal (yes, even Thanksgiving dinner!)
* Original hardwood floors, 9 1/2-ft ceilings, and large windows for natural light
* Smart TVs in both bedrooms & living room
* Ceiling fans throughout for a cool coastal breeze
* Self-check-in with an electronic keypad for hassle-free arrivals
* All linens & towels included (No surprise fees!)

Southern Hospitality Starts on the Porch.....

Relax on the front porch swing or one of the classic rocking chairs – the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee or wind down with an evening cocktail. The fenced-in front yard is great for pets, and the private parking for two cars (right by the back door) means no street-parking stress.

A Prime Location – Close to Everything.....

* 1.5 miles to the Downtown Wilmington Riverwalk
* 7 miles to Wrightsville Beach
* 6-7 blocks to the vibrant Cargo District (boutiques, breweries, and creative spaces!)
* Minutes from golf courses, shopping, and historic sites
* 1.5 miles from University of NC at Wilmington (UNC-W)
* Short drive to multiple beaches – Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Topsail, and more

Truly Pet-Friendly – No Gimmicks, No Fees!
Your furry friends are always welcome at Carolina Cozy Cottage! We designed the home with pets in mind.....

* Fenced yard for worry-free playtime
* Leather furniture & minimal carpeting – No stress about pet hair
* Dog bowls & a pet gate available for use

Because we believe vacations should include the whole family—without extra costs.
