Kenwood Cottage is right near Princess Place Drive on a quiet street of sidewalks, kids, dogs, neighbors. You can rest on the porch swing and say hi! There are two bedrooms - one Queen and one Double - as well as two baths - one just a bathtub - the other a walk-in shower. Gas logs work and will keep you cozy this winter.... The saltwater pool will keep you cool come summer and is heated for lovely fall and spring swim days. The yard is fully fenced. We have basic cable and wifi. Downtown is 5 minutes by car, we are very near the studio, and 15 minutes away from Wrightsville Beach. Pets and extended stays are considered.

This is a Sweet Bungalow with all the amenities you need on a daily basis.We booked it mainly because I love to swim! The heated pool was a Heavenly Oasis!
This was a great little property for our short visit. The back yard/pool/hot-tub were very well kept. We cooked a lot while we were there, and found a lack of pots/pans and no dishwasher even though the rental checkout procedure states to place all used dishes in the dishwasher and run it. Also, pool instructions would have been helpful in the instructions, but we met the owner while there and he filled us in. A great house…however the shower did not work. We had the beautiful tub, so all was well. We would come again…
I loved this property! Having a private pool was so nice to return to after a long day exploring. The property is clean, neighborhood is quiet, and the property manager and owner are very responsive. Would stay again!
We really enjoyed this house. It was clean and had everything we needed. The pool was awesome, it was our favorite thing. Thanks for having us, we hope to book soon again
Hurricane Helene forced us to cancel our planned anniversary trip and make a last minute decision to go to Wilmington. I'm so glad we found this gem of a property.
This is a clean, well-loved and cared for hole
we loved the pool and being able to bring our dogs. We will be back! lhome.Everyproperty.
Great little house for my husband and I and our little dog. Had to come to Wilmington for a few days and booked this place because of the pool and it did not disappoint. The house was clean, beds comfortable, adequate kitchen and a/c was nice and cool. The pool was perfect for the June heat. Would definitely come back
Overall stay was nice. Would have been nice to have more overhead lighting. Owner was Very nice and worked with us on getting the pool cleaned. Our dog locked us in the Pool Area from in the house. The Owner was there in 10 minutes to get us back in the house and out of the Pool Area!!
The pool is worth this booking. My family loved it and most of our time was spent in it. The home itself needs some updates but I would recommend and would book again if in the area.
We were looking for a little getaway with our pups. This was the BEST.ever! A very quiet neighborhood, tucked away, yet close to stores and downtown Wilmington. The cottage was immaculate! The backyard pool was absolutely magical! We spent most of our time just sitting outside listening to the birds and circadas and crickets in the evening. LOVED the clean pool, it was so refreshing on the hot days! It had everything we needed! Will definitely return!
Huge Magnolia that we needed to skim the pool daily. Dishes required hand washing because there is not a dishwasher. Wall Switches were missing knobs and we were afraid to touch them so we used hand towels. There is a garden hose on the right side of the house to remove any sand before going in the house. I suggested adding the key to the yard door to go at the back of the house were there is a shower right at the door.
Stay reminded me of my favorite Clint Eastwood movie, ‘The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.’
- The Good: The home was beautiful, inside and out. We loved the rustic feel and warmth of the home. All appliances, except the dryer, seemed to work well.
- The Bad: At check in time, the cleaners/repairmen were still working – we never got a call. After checking in, we went to throw some trash away and the trash bin was completely full. House rules said the trash would be picked up on Mon…we arrived on Friday. The dryer was subpar – took multiple cycles to dry.
- The Ugly: Ants & intrusive neighbor. Literally, within 1 hr of arriving, the ants had taken over. Everything on the counter in the kitchen was attacked – had to throw away several items. They were present in every room except the living room. However, the absolute worst part of the stay was an intrusive neighbor. Keep in mind, we are two couples in our 60s. On Sunday, we were relaxing at the pool while playing some country music from a $16 Dollar General am/fm radio…this thing could barely be heard at the end of the pool. I received a text from the owner about 3 pm who said a neighbor was complaining of noise. After getting text, we shut off the music & came inside. This same intrusive neighbor had also cowardly taped a letter to the front door that read, “The people in this neighborhood like it QUIET. Why don’t you all try to just swim and lounge by pool while listening to Mother Nature.”
We won't be back!!

Good location to enjoy the best of Wilmington
The property was clean inside but could use a bit of landscaping.
While our say was pleasant, we had some concerns about the electrical system. Very interesting 2nd bathroom.
The property is super clean. The furniture is clean and comfortable. The pool is great. Mike, the owner and pool guy is wonderful to work with. He’s very respectful of your stay and will work around your plans to tend to the pool.
Totally fun throw back to a different era. My husband and I found this cottage to be a simple yet perfectly adequate and charming place to stay with our 2 small dogs while we familiarized ourselves with Wilmington. The neighborhood reminded me of days gone by, before everything became cookie cutter, too new and too big. Quiet and Very walkable with our dogs. The backyard is supremely private and the pool was very clean and clear. I used the pool extensively during our month stay, and Owner Mike, aka pool boy, was very attentive and friendly. The beds were comfy and rooms were spacious, except for small kitchen, which I loved. When we had family/friend visit for a few nights we had plenty of room. Fun place to stay.
