    The Waterman Cottage was a wonderful place for our family Thanksgiving. We were visiting one of our children and used the incredibly well stocked kitchen to cook a feast on Thanksgiving. The house was perfect for the five of us and the living room was a perfect place to relax and hangout. The location was close to everything. Our host was incredibly responsive and helpful. We will definitely stay there again.

    I have let the host know my concerns privately. This was my second stay at this property. It was much better the first time.

    If you are visiting and don’t want the crowd at the beach, this property is great. It is close to UNCW, Downtown and any stores etc you would need. Good for a family with kids and good for two couples. Large back yard is very private and in general a very easy place to stay. Highly recommend.

    We were visiting for a wedding, and this charming property was perfect for our group! We enjoyed the privacy of the back yard and there was plenty of space for all of us. The property manager was responsive to our few requests, and made it an excellent visit.

    Our family enjoyed our stay at your lovely home. Close to campus for an impromptu tour and only 10 minutes from the beach. Plenty of room for us to spread out and relax. Great spot and a bonus that our pup could tag along!
