Cottage rentals with a hot tub

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

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!

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.

Hidden gem on 4 acres w/hot tub
I have booked multiple Air BnB’s this by far has been the best experience. The home was beautifully decorated and very welcoming. The snacks were an added bonus and perfectly picked! If you are considering booking this DO IT! Board games and books are available. Kristy has equipped that house with exactly what you need to enjoy time as a couple or with children.

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.

Charming Beach Cottage-1 block to beach/boardwalk
Everything was so nice and Andrea was very responsive and respectful! Any concern that she has was quickly brought to my attention and dealt with. She was very kind about everything and my group had the best time!

CB Bungalow 1 | Short Walk to Beach, Bars, Dining
Thomas and his place was excellent! The house was just what we needed and close to everything. Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay.

"Seadar" Cottage - A Mid-Century Beach Cutie!
Great spot and great location relative to restaurants, shops and the beach. It’s a low key place without many frills but does the trick. Also somewhat setback from the road which makes it feel secluded and quiet. Only downside is only 1 mirror to help get ready for events like a wedding.

Luna Sea l 3 mins walk to the CB Boardwalk
Beautiful home in a great location. Plenty of room for all of us to sleep and bathrooms for us all. I loved the decor and we had a wonderful stay. The house was also walkable to everything I wanted to see. We definitely plan on staying again sometime!

Mermaid Tales
Mickell was a wonderful host! I booked super last minute with kiddo and service dog in tow. She accommodated us with no trouble! Place was wonderful, beautiful and quiet area, easy access for myself and kiddo, fenced yard, and lots of towels and such ready for us! Absolutely recommend for a great beach stay!!

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!

Charming beach cottage blocks from the beach!
This was our 2nd time staying at Lisa’s house and it was just as amazing as the first stay! The cottage is in great location that was walkable to almost everything on the island. It was a great place with fenced in yard to bring our dog and had plenty of beach supplies. The neighborhood is very quiet. Lisa was quick to respond to any of our questions. We can’t wait to stay at Lisa’s place again!

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!

The Lake Cottage
I stayed at the lake cottage with my 3 year old son and we had a wonderful time! We loved the fairy garden walkway to the front entrance and the cottage itself was beautiful! It’s impeccably clean and an inviting space. I also very much appreciated the complimentary coffee station and my son enjoyed the lollipops! We stayed the night after enjoying a day at the beach in Wrightsville and went out to dinner in Wilmington. It’s a short drive to the restaurants in Wilmington - plenty of dining options to choose from! I absolutely recommend the lake cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful stay that is conveniently located to the beach and downtown Wilmington! We’ll definitely plan another trip to come back! Thanks for having us!

Happy's Place Downtown Southport
Great location, lovely place, and a kind and responsive host. We especially loved the walkability and biking to the ferry. Would stay again!

Relax in a HGTV Beachfront pick!
We had an excellent stay! The house is very close to beach access and on a quiet part of the island. The space was perfect for our family of 3 - my kiddo loved the bunk bed!! The outdoor shower was amazing. We would definitely stay again.

Grace Cottage Downtown- Parking & Pet friendly
Can’t recommend this little spot enough! Corner lot which is perfect so it’s semi-private! We took our dog with and although the fence was low we just kept him on leash when letting out! Easy easy walk to downtown and historic area - river walk. Totally a fine drive to beach - no problems at all. Simple parallel and back of house parking. Beds and linens were so dang comfy!

Captain's Cottage: The heart of downtown Southport
We had such a wonderful weekend in Southport! The home was very clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was perfect with just a short walk to the waterfront, shops, and restaurants. The hosts were incredibly responsive and made check-in a breeze. Southport is such a charming town, and this Airbnb was the perfect place to enjoy it. The park across the street even had live music on Thursday night that we could enjoy from the porch! Would absolutely stay again! Cannot recommend this place enough!

Wrightsville Beach Haven East Henderson Street
We could not have asked for a better spot to spend a few days on our east coast trek! Close to the beach with applicable beach toys for my boys. We will for sure be coming back in the future!

All Decked Out in Kure Beach
I had a great stay with my son. The house has been beautifully updated. The location is great and close enough to carry a toddler back and forth to the beach. The outdoor shower is especially helpful to wash up kiddos well before coming in the house too.

The Flying Sea Cow
This was our second time staying at the Flying sea cow. This is been our favorite place to stay when visiting Carolina Beach. We love being able to ride the beach cruiser bikes, and how close it is to the beach, boardwalk and restaurants. Jen and Eric’s place is super cute and cozy. Her place has a lot of character and charm.
