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
We so enjoyed our stay in this quiet and peaceful home! It was the perfect get away and very kid friendly! The backyard is fenced and the whole place is clean and nicely decorated! About 15 minutes to the beach and 25 minutes to downtown, overall a wonderful stay! 5/5

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.

CB Bungalow 1 | Short Walk to Beach, Bars, Dining
Loved the stay. The location was great for all the local bars and attractions. And at the night it’s very peaceful with little to no noise. Definitely would stay again

"Seadar" Cottage - A Mid-Century Beach Cutie!
The house is clean, cozy and comfortable, and only a brisk walk of a few minutes away from the beach.

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!
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
This place is a great getaway and much needed! Great location and pet friendly. Will definitely stay again!

Lumina Cottage by Mira-Mar
Beautiful cottage. Lots of room for a large family. Good communication from hosts, plenty of beach supplies (chairs, toys, towels), short walk to the beach. Wonderful wraparound porch! Loved our visit. Highly recommend!

Eclectic Classic Modern Beach Trailer
My two friends and I decided to come here for our friend vacation and we made the perfect choice! This place is so cool and cute, very clean and exactly as pictured. The hosts are very responsive and nice. The trailer is in a great location close to basically everything. The price was great and affordable too! Thank you so much, we had a blast and will definitely visit again in the future!! :)

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.

Charming Beach Cottage-1 block to beach/boardwalk
Great place! Close the everything. Very clean and comfortable. Host responded very quickly and was helpful with answering questions. Highly recommend to friends and family. Would stay here again!

Relax in a HGTV Beachfront pick!
We booked this home to celebrate my mom’s life, as we lost her in March. Carolina Beach was her favorite place (and she visited the entire country) so it felt right. This place was decorated just as she would have liked and was in an ideal location. Close enough to the beach for my 4 year old to walk without complaint but not in a noisy or busy area. Also within 5 minutes of all the major restaurants and attractions! Beautiful and ideal location ❤️

Luna Sea l 3 mins walk to the CB Boardwalk
We really like the house, Luna Sea at Carolina Beach. Everything at Carolina Beach is within walking distance. Laura was really nice and helpful through the process. I would recommend Laura and Luna Sea to anyone that would like to visit Carolina Beach.

Captain's Cottage: The heart of downtown Southport
We had a great visit to Stephanie's place. The house was extremely spacious and very charming. It's walking distance to Southport mainstreet, and also a children's playground a short walk through the park. All of the waterfront restaurants are also within walking distance. Oak Island ocean beaches are a 15 minute drive. We would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to stay in the heart of downtown Southport.

Wrightsville Beach Haven East Henderson Street
This 2 bedroom downstairs separate apartment is just a short 1/2 block walk to beautiful Wrightsville Beach, right near a pier. The living room is relatively large, with a full kitchen, full bathroom, two queen bedrooms in the back, a small back semi-covered patio, a front porch, and a dedicated off-street parking spot right in front. One of the back bedrooms has a 1/2 bathroom. Patti was very friendly, lives upstairs. The place is quiet at night, not near bars or party spots. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

All Decked Out in Kure Beach
Bryan’s place was amazing for Memorial Day weekend for me and my friends to stay at. Right across from the beach, very clean, and the entire place was newly renovated. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a spot to stay in Kure/Carolina Beach!

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.
