Pet Friendly! NEVER a Pet Fee or Pet Deposit EVER!!!!

Charming historic bungalow constructed in 1926 in the Carolina Place neighborhood of Downtown Wilmington. A cozy area which offers delightful tree-lined streets, front porches, sidewalks for walking your dog, pushing a stroller, or simply out for an evening walk, and a handsome mix of older and thoughtfully restored homes.

On more than one occasion, I have been told our neighborhood is reminiscent of where "Gilmore Girls" meets "The Andy Griffith Show."

(Interesting tidbit: 2 doors down is the home featured on the former TV show "One Tree Hill"...a VERY trendy show filmed in Wilmington with a giant fan base. The home 2 doors down is the home where the show's main character Lucas Scott [played by Chad Michael Murray] lived in the fictitious town of Tree Hill!

Home Features:
* 2 Full Bedrooms - 2 FULL Bathrooms (primary bath includes a clawfoot bathtub and rain showerhead)
* Queen Beds in each bedroom
* Parking for 2 cars located in the rear of the home, right at the back door! No fighting for street parking like many of the neighbors.
* Original Wood floors and windows
* 10-foot ceilings
* Ceiling fans in both bedrooms, living room and front porch
* Front porch with traditional Southern swing and rockers....ready for coffee or drinks
* Intelligent TV's in both bedrooms and living room
* Totally appointed kitchen equipped with a refrigerator w/ ice maker, dishwasher, range, microwave, coffee maker, range, blender, toaster, full-sized washer and dryer and ALL the cookware and dishware you would need to prepare a heavenly Thanksgiving meal!
* Sheets and towels supplied (no additional charge as many other properties do).
* And the home character that only a 100-year old home has!
* Arrive as late as you wish on check-in day due to an electronic lock system on the back door. No one needs to be present!! Put your mind at ease that you will have your very own unique door lock and alarm code that is unable to be used again after you check-out.

Strategies to get the very best rental home experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Summer months are high season in Wilmington. Book your Southport vacation home in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Southport area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guides which will include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose a group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms 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.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or might be applied to your invoice.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
