Stayed May 12, 2023This cottage is absolutley adorable! Cozy, comfy and effocient. Every need has been incorporated, I felt at home the minute I stepped inside. Impeccably adorned inside and out. The large yard was beautifully landscaped and a second private area is an added bonus. I can not say enough here but I have recommended it to my every friend and relative, this is the best value lodging in the industry!

The cottage, itself is adorable, and everything we needed for a comfortable visit had been thought of.The peaceful ambiance of the back yard and screen house was wonderful. The location was perfect for the several day trips we took around the area. Patti was a great host.

Stayed Jan 9, 2026Our stay at the cottage was amazing! It was peaceful and relaxing. It was a time for my partner and I to reconnect and explore Wilmington and at this rental we were able to do just that. Thank you Patti for providing such a beautiful and quaint experience for us to share together. We especially loved the complementary decoupage shell we were able to take back with us. It’s meaningful to have something to remind us of our time together. We can’t wait to come back soon.

Stayed Aug 13, 2025Such 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.

Stayed Jul 12, 2025I was so excited to stay here, but do not feel like the reviews matched the place I was. The cottage was cute, and it had a surplus of fun activities for us to do, and the host was nice. However the cottage was not clean, the fridge and freezer did not appear to be properly wiped down in a very long time, with gunk built up on all the shelves. I was excited to use the keurig and the k-pods next to it, but after an inspection I realized the keurig had the filter completely removed from it and I found small mold spores in the water compartment. The oven wasn’t disgusting but it too hadn’t been properly cleaned and smoked quickly with the food remnants from previous renters. The bathroom was mostly clean, however, the ceiling had black mold above the shower. Lastly on our final night I found a large cockroach scurrying around the living room. I was able to kill it and informed Patti which she apologized for and insured me they sprayed monthly but bugs can still get in due to the location. I believe her, however, it still was not an experience I’d want to deal with again. The place was cute but too cluttered with items that didn’t need to be there—large random furniture and about a hundred framed pictures. Again, the host was pleasant, but the experience was not and did not meet my standards of “clean” at all. I hesitate posting this, but I wish I had a better idea of the cottage myself before I rented and would appreciate an honest review.

Stayed May 1, 2025The owner has simply thought of every detail in making our weekend stay perfect ! Sitting in a nice , quiet, residential area it was completely private including your personal patio in back of the cabin . We had a very busy weekend visiting our daughter as she finished up her final year of softball at UNCW. The college was only a ten minute drive and fifteen minutes from Wrightsville Beach . Great location! My only complaint is that we did not have a down day to just relax at the cabin . From crocheting and drawing baskets , music instruments, movies , magazines and puzzle books or simply sitting in one of the outside areas to enjoy the gardens having a day to just relax would have been great ! Maybe next time!

Kitchen is great as is space.. Only comment: would prefer a few less decorative items so hooks,surfaces could be used for intended purpose. Would definitely stay here again!

The street was quiet enough for long morning walks, etc. We had ample kitchen stuff to make many of our own meals but good restaurants & shopping were not far off.
