About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Artist's Cottage is the ideal home away from home!

Adults only, (all guests must be 21 or older). Two guests max!!! Also, I get a lot of requests for small pets. Due to safety and health concerns, I cannot accommodate any pets at all. That includes service or support animals. The cottage is to the rear left of my property behind the main house where I reside. If you look at the aerial photo, you can see the proximity the cottage is to the house. It's about a 25 foot distance. It is very private though but for purposes of full disclosure, some outdoor spaces are visible from my ring cameras. For instance, my ring camera at my back door can pick up who enters the back yard and cottage but does not pick up images from inside the cottage or the private back patio to the cottage. I also have a ring camera on my front door that can see the driveway. That being said, you’re going to love the privacy and the location of this quaint cottage, tucked away smack dab between Wrightsville and Carolina Beach in the popular Masonboro section of Wilmington. For those unfamiliar with Wilmington, this area is not only very desired, but also very safe! The driveway is not paved and the path to the cottage is also unpaved but has concrete stepping stones that lead you to the cottage door. The middle space in the parking area is the designated space for the cottage. There is only one parking space designated for the cottage. If you have a friend or family member stop by for a visit, they will need to park in the street in front of my house. If you are interested in booking the cottage, please note: No parties or events. No smoking or vaping of anything inside cottage or patio room. No pets of any kind including service animals. Not suitable for children. Guests must be twenty one and older. Two guest max. Please do not remove any artwork from walls, including the nude woman pencil drawing in the bathroom. If the artwork in my home offends anyone, it is best they don't book a stay at the cottage.

This 465sf Cozy Cottage comes with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. Amenities also include washer and dryer, the full kitchen minus a dishwasher, Keurig for coffee, tea, pots, pans, dishes, utensils, etc... A small brick private patio off the back of the cottage has a table and two chairs, a lion fountain, and roses and flowers seasonally. Other outdoor spaces include the fire pit and the patio room. The fire pit and patio room are shared spaces but your back patio is all for you. Please note that there is no smoking or vaping of anything inside the patio room. All vaping and smoking must be done outside. The cottage has an open floor plan design with a queen size bed. There is also a small drop leaf table (that gets much larger), and two chairs that can be used for eating, a work space, or for playing board games on a rainy day. The large flat screen tv is a roku smart tv with streaming capability. Use the Spectrum App provided to access basic channels or use your own apps like Netflix, Prime, Hulu, HBO, etc... There is also a dvd player and a library of fun dvds. For a full list of amenities, click to see amenities.

The Artist Cottage is a great place to stay in Wilmington. Patti the owner is a kind, caring individual. I notified Patti that I was running late, due to two flight delays. She had the lights on in the cottage and the AC running. The cottage has everything a weary traveler needs. 5 stars!

What a charming space!
This charming cottage was the perfect place for a brief visit to Wilmington. The owner has gone out of her way to decorate the entire space, inside and out, in a creative, fun, and peaceful way, and the care and forethought put into all amenities and details absolutely shows. It is private, quiet, and safe. Easy access to the property and in a great location. I will definitely stay here again should the need arise!

Sweet Get Away in a Quiet Country Road Cottage
My husband and I appreciated arriving at this "artist's studio" after a long flight and drive to find it filled with the owner's creative and thoughtful touches. It is situated behind the owner's home. Keyless entry and exit was efficient. The location was within a short drive to many of the sights. The little cottage was so comfy with plenty of space including a small and efficient kitchen. We had more than enough room for our computers on the dining table. A small private patio and screened garden enclosure made a lovely place to stay.

Adorable Artist’s Cottage
This was our second stay at this beautiful cottage. The host thought of everything we could have needed plus things we didn’t know we needed! It is cozy, beautifully decorated inside and out. The location is also ideal; you can get into the Wilmington River Walk area or to your choice of beaches within 15-20 minutes! We will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Getaway To Remember
Our first stay at a VRBO property was a vacation to remember. The Artist’s Cottage was a true masterpiece inside and outside. Each day of our stay we found a new detail that inspired us toward our own artistic discovery. From knitting needles, yarn and a how~to book, to drawing materials, origami, taro cards, and a guitar. It is easy to loose yourself in this property and never want to leave. The artist and designer of this cottage, Patti Sutherland, made the booking, check~in and check~out process seamless. She made herself available for questions and suggestions on beaches, restaurants and more. Thank~you for your hospitality! We will see you again!

Artist Cottage
Staying at the Artist Cottage was the best part of our trip. Patti was a wonderful host, providing us with recommendations for beaches, ferry rides, and restaurants, and she was spot on. The cottage was surrounded by an exquisite garden-filled yard, twinkling lights at night, a screened in porch, and a feeling of serenity and calm. I enjoyed having my coffee out there in the morning, and taking it in one last time before bed. The inside of the cottage is filled with pieces of art, and has all the comforts you need, including a full size kitchen, a perfect shower, and a small, cozy living room. Patti was so kind and always willing to talk. We hope to return next June.

The cottage was adorable, clean and comfortable! The outside garden and yard were an added bonus! Only complaint was maybe too many knick knack on every surface, hard to put your stuff down because it was so decorated. I will recommend to friends and family!

The Artist's Cottage was perfect for me!
I sincerely enjoyed my 5-night stay at The Artist's Cottage. It was the perfect jumping-off spot for visiting friends in Wilmington, without imposing on their homes. The cottage is the perfect size for one or two people, and it had every amenity that I needed for my stay. The cottage was quiet and peaceful, and the surrounding yard (with both a deck and screened porch) was absolutely gorgeous.
