Cape Fear Coastal Hide-A-Way

Book Your Stay for Summer and enjoy the pristine warm waters and charm of the Cape Fear Coast! A perfect location just minutes to Carolina Beach, Wrightsville Beaches, and if you're into kayaking or SUP explorations, you'll love Masonboro Island—the largest undisturbed barrier islands in NC. And of course historic downtown Wilmington is a must. A great home base to connect to everything our coastal town has to offer. So many great restaurants and brewery's close by. Come experience why our guest have loved staying at our cottage!
Located on one of the coolest private roads in the area! A natural haven by the intracoastal waterway in coastal Wilmington NC. The picturesque 1,680 sq. ft. home is an authentic coastal cottage situated on 1 acre surrounded by magnificent great oaks. The entire home is yours for a memorable vacation stay.
The Space:
Classic Coastal Cottage. Crisp and clean, tastefully decorated throughout with a laid back surf vibe. The atmosphere is bright and cheerful with lots of natural light!
Relax on the front porch and take in the sounds of the abundant nature, and when the wind is easterly, you'll hear the ocean waves. Upon entering the home, you'll find the living room to be spacious and comfortable. You'll enjoy watching your favorite series on the 65” Roku TV. On cooler nights, switch on the fireplace electric potbelly heater and enjoy the warm glow of the flames. The dining room is furnished with rustic antiques, restored to go with the ambience of the cottage. The kitchen is fully equipped and comes with complimentary coffee and water dispenser. The oversized master bedroom has a beautiful king size bed (our guest have made a point to tell us how comfortable the bed is), with love seat couch (with pullout bed), and TV. The 2nd bedroom has a queen size bed that looks out to the front lawn and is uniquely decorated. One full bathroom with shower/tube and half bathroom. Patio/laundry room: washer and dryer, and plenty of storage space. For the beach goers, we provide beach towels, 4 chairs, cooler, boogie board, and assorted beach toys.
Covered back porch has a gas grill, table and chairs and looks out into a large picket fenced in private back yard.
Located 15 min. drive to Carolina Beach, 20 min. to Wrightsville Beach, and 18 min. to historic downtown Wilmington. If you are bringing your boat, kayak or SUP we are just 6 min. to a public boat ramp.
Resource connections to island adventures: Fishing guides, kayak excursions, surfing lessons, etc.

NOTE: Currently the lot adjacent to our cottage just began construction of a new home. During the week days there might be some noice at different times of the construction process. Construction hours are limited in our neighborhood from 8:30am-5pm M-F, Sat. 9am - 3pm. The 2 bedrooms in our home are on the opposite side of the home. The lot does not effects our views from the front or back porches (the lot is on the side of our home that has the HVAC and pump house).

The community dock is off limits to our guest and is monitored by security cameras.

If you are bringing your pet, please make sure you check them in under reservations. We ask that you keep your pets off the couches and beds.

Great stay at the hideaway

Such a great property to stay at. On a very quiet road, you'd never know you were only 10 minutes away from the beach! Very nice inside with comfortable beds and a great yard to relax in. Jeff was a great host and allowed us to check out a little later allowing us to enjoy the property for even longer!

Sweet bungalow in quiet neighborhood

This was the perfect location for a quiet weekend getaway. The home is a nice vintage bungalow, clean and well appointed. Having the fenced in yard made it a great option to bring my dog on the trip. Will definitely stay again!

Peaceful, Comfortable, and Close to Everything

My husband, daughter and I were here to get her moved in to UNCW. An emotional time for us and staying at this lovely home was a gift for us. We would most definitely stay here again. We were able to enjoy both Wilmington and Carolina Beach without needing to drive far, as the location is central to both:

This place was lovely, just as expected. We were visiting our parents for Christmas and wanted something close to them but with enough space and quiet for us to unwind on our own. This lovely place was just what we needed. It’s a keeper!

Great little house

What a charming little house to stay in while visiting my son. The beds are very comfortable and the house was super clean. Very convenient to everything but also far enough away that we felt we were getting away too. Very peaceful and perfect. Jeff was a great host and was very responsive. Will definitely stay here again.

Short trip - pure serenity

We took a quick trip to Wilmington to check on our new build. If you’re considering a hotel for a short stay, check out this well appointed cottage instead. It suited all of our needs and was perfect for our little dog with the fenced rear yard. Very peaceful surroundings. The beds were amazingly comfortable. Highly recommend!
