About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
The Artist's Cottage is the ideal home away from home!
Adults only, (all guests must be 21 or older). Two guests max!!! Also, I get a lot of requests for small pets. Due to safety and health concerns, I cannot accommodate any pets at all. No 3rd party bookings. The person booking, must be the person staying and the person that's name is on the account. The cottage is to the rear left of my property behind the main house where I reside. If you look at the aerial photo, you can see the proximity the cottage is to the house. 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 cottage but does not pick up images from inside the cottage or the private back patio to the cottage. I also have a ring camera on my front door that can see the driveway. That being said, you’re going to love the privacy and the location of this quaint cottage, tucked away smack dab between Wrightsville and Carolina Beach in the popular 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 cottage is also unpaved but has concrete stepping stones that lead you to the cottage door. The middle space in the parking area is the designated space for the cottage. There is only one parking space designated for the cottage. 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 house. If you are interested in booking the cottage, please note: No parties or events. No smoking or vaping of anything inside cottage or patio room. No pets of any kind. Not suitable for children. 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 cottage.

The Artist’s Cottage is such a beautiful space. So intentional and beautifully curated. Everything you could want or need is provided for a relaxing visit. Patti is a wonderful host!
The tiny home was perfect for two. Wish weather had cooperated as we had to leave a day earlier for home as there was an impending ice storm. Well kept space and very clean. Local restaurant Keg and Egg was close and friendly.
The Artist's Cottage is charming: quirkily decorated and fully equipped; with an especially comfortable bed. Great location in proximity to Wilmington as well as the beaches. Highly recommended.
The Artist Cottage was absolutely adorable. Upon entering you are surrounded with artwork and unique decorations. My stay was so nice and peaceful, I really didn’t want to leave. Patti provided snacks, breakfast food and a wide variety of coffee and tea. I can’t wait to return! What a relaxing retreat!

This cottage was very charming and full of personality. It was clean and thoughtfully decorated. The property owner went above and beyond to meet needs with extra little touches. It was comfortable and we loved our stay here.
We enjoyed our stay and the location was great for our access to Wilmington and UNCW. The cottage was clean and peaceful as well as beautifully appointed.
My visit was great! I loved the unique way the cottage was decorated. The location was a very peaceful neighborhood and it was convenient to a lot of tourist attractions.
Lovely cottage, extremely well appointed, lots of art; we found everything we needed there. Perfect location for our visit to Wilmington. The cottage was thoughtfully furnished with items to entertain ourselves, help us learn more about the area, and make our stay extra nice.
Always enjoy staying at The Artist’s Cottage. Clean, comfortable and artistically decorated. Conveniently located for our needs too. A big thanks to the host.
My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay. The cottage is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Our hostess, Patti answered any questions we had quickly. Highly recommend this Artist Cottage.
This cozy cottage was close to our son and we were able to have our own space. Both of us were design majors so it was a special environment for us with plenty of beauty in the surroundings to draw. We will return to this special location.
Perfect little cottage for our mini trip to the Wilmington NC area. Quiet and convenient location for “base camp.” Communication with Patti was excellent. Highly recommend staying here.
Such a lovely property, in a beautiful neighborhood! From the blooming gardens surrounding it, to the sweet space within. Immaculately clean, cozy and thoughtfully decorated. Comfy bed, adorable kitchen supplied with everything you could need. And, our host had special touches everywhere you looked ... sketch pads/pencils, puzzle books, crochet hooks/yarn, dvds, board games, even an acoustic guitar w/lesson book! A charming private patio w/fairy lights completed our accommodations. If you're headed to Wilmington, book The Artist's Cottage! It truly is a home away from home. Patti is a delight and we're so grateful we found her.
