Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Seaside Palace
Our family loved this house and location - plenty of room, easy walk to the beach, tennis courts out back, friendly neighbors, easy access to restaurants and stores. Jim was responded quickly when we asked for help with supplies. The spring pollen factor was high - so be ready! We washed the decks and chairs and that improved things. We will return!

Outdoor Shower & Hot Tub - Central to Everything!
Great location, super close to everything in Wilmington! Diane is great, super responsive!

Summer Lovin - Kure Beach oceanfront w/ hot tub
I absolutely adore this cute little beach house. It was a perfect best friend get away. I felt like I was staging in a beach cottage straight off hgtv. My only suggestion is a full length mirror for the females! Definitely would stay here again.

3rd Perfect Alignment
Beautiful, clean and comfortable home. Jim was a great host. Tons of room and a good location. The pond next door was cool.

1913 Historic Downtown Empie-Possion Cottage
Delaney was a great host and we would love to stay at her beautiful house again!!! You can’t beat the location and everything could not have gone better.

Wilshire Coastal Cottage - Dog Friendly
The house was clean and inviting. Enough room for my whole family and dog. Alot of extra things that was there that I did not have to worry about buying, like beach towels, other beach stuff, cleaning products, dog bowls etc. Backyard was perfect for my dog, I did not have to worry about letting her out and getting out. I would definitely stay again if back in Wilmington.

Blue Turtle Beach Cottage
We loved our week at Blue Turtle Cottage! It’s bright, clean and charming. Just a short walk to the beach. Leslie and Kay were lovely hosts. We’d definitely come back if our plans bring us to OKI. The king bed is super comfy!. Thanks for hosting us! 💙🐢

One Beach’in Cottage, walk to the beach!
My husband and I just returned from our second stay at One Beachin' Cottage for a long Memorial Day weekend. The cottage is comfy & we appreciate that it's pet friendly. Although the street where the Cottage is quiet and fairly traffic-free, it's walkable to the beach, restaurants, and the boardwalk. We appreciated how close it is to the Tiki Bar, The Spot, and the Veggie Wagon. We will definitely be back!

Pierside Cottage A| 1 Block to Beach, Bars, Dining
This is cute cottage only a 3 min walk to the ocean. There was also restaurants and a store you could walk to. Also a very nice fishing pier. We drove to fort fisher which was really neat. Rode the fairy to Southport. Drove to Carolina beach for the day. There was lots to do.

Charming beach cottage blocks from the beach!
My wife and I as well as our 2 kids and our pittie Mama loved our stay. it's the perfect spot for those with a furry family member. Right at the lake and the beach. We plan to save Lisa's place for possible future trips. Be sure to check out the dog photo book of all of the four legged guests when you stay. ❤️

The Surf Chalet
My family enjoyed staying at the property for a week at the beach. Walkable to most anything you need in Carolina Beach and is very close to a lake with a walking loop...perfect to take our pup for strolls in the morning and evening (just keep an eye out for the resident geese, as they hissed at us hahah). Very peaceful and quiet too. One thing that stood out to me was how well stocked they were with amenities in the bathroom and kitchen. Little touches like toiletries & coffee pods make such a huge difference. Overall, you can tell that they are very thoughful hosts! One thing to consider is that it is an older building, so you can hear alot of the happenings below you..we had some very loud people for the first few days after we checked in but again, I chalk it up to it being an older building which is common for the area. Furniture & beds were very comfortable...and my husband had a nice spot to do some work in the mornings. Oh & they had an old school nintendo set up...score!

Ocean Pine Cottage • Pet friendly • Fully Fenced
The cottage was wonderful, peaceful and beautifully decorated. The fenced in yard was great for my dogs. They enjoyed the yard and lol the chickens next door. Danielle is very responsive and friendly. Easy to communicate with. Close to so many beaches and restaurants. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Couples Retreat-Bungalow Monthly*
Loved this little getaway. Off the main beach and very little traffic. The place screams “relax”. Loved the outside shower for getting rid of the sand. Most beautiful wind chimes. Short trip to beach and to some excellent restaurants.

Walk to Beach. Fenced Yard. Linens Included.
We were in Oak island for a destination wedding. It was the perfect spot! Quiet street with easy walking access to the beach, great backyard. There was easy uber or trolley access to wherever we needed to go. House was clean and had plenty of amenities! Traci was very easy to work with - would definitely stay here again!

Downtown Cottage + Big Backyard + Pet Friendly
Absolutely loved the area and the space! Everything was clean, quiet neighborhood, and close to all of our destinations/attractions! Jeff was very responsive and proactive, answering all of my questions before I even had to ask them! Will definitely be staying again when I’m in the area!

The Lake Cottage
The cottage was very cute and inviting. We arrived pretty late, but with clear instructions, it was a breeze getting inside. It was very nice having a tranquil walkway that had lights that light up as you walk up. The lights were on inside which was nice for us arriving late. The bed and linens were nice and soft. The amphitheater is just a short stroll away and the lake across the street was beautiful to walk. The host was very friendly. We enjoyed our stay.

Old Ferry Cottage
We had such a wonderful stay! The place was cozy, beautifully maintained, and had so much charm. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the front porch. It was the perfect spot to unwind. A great bonus was having a restaurant with live music just a short walk away. Most of all, our host was truly exceptional, friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

New Listing | Cozy Cottage | Fully Fenced Yard
Joe's place was everything we needed. Being so close to the beach made it easy to walk there multiple times a day. His house was clean and had everything we needed. We brought our two dogs and the fenced in back yard made it easy to let them out and have a place to go. I really appreciated the water hose, which we used everyday to wash off our dogs after the beach, as well as the outdoor shower for us. I would definitely recommend Joes place for anyone looking for a cute place to stay within walking distance to the beach.

Oak Island Beachfront Cottage
We loved our stay! Everyone in our group was comfortable and we loved being able to relax right on the beach!

Hot Tub | Privacy | Close to Beaches & Downtown
We had a wonderful stay at this place! The home was clean, comfortable, and beautifully kept — a perfect little getaway. One of the best parts was the location: it’s incredibly convenient and close to just about everything in Wilmington. Whether we were heading to the riverwalk, shops, or restaurants, everything was just a short walk or drive away. The only downside — and this had nothing to do with the host or the property — was that on Saturday night there was extremely loud music coming from nearby, and it went on well past 2am. Fortunately, our child slept right through it, but it’s something to keep in mind if you're traveling with little ones who are light sleepers. Overall, we’d definitely recommend this place and would happily stay again. Just a heads-up about the weekend noise depending on your family’s needs!
