Our stay at Tilly’s Cottage was wonderful. The house was very clean and the coffee bar was fully stocked. The location is quiet, but close enough town to be able to go out and do things. We will definitely be staying again if we are ever back in Wilmington!

The house has the potential to be nice, however it is run down and very dirty. The kitchen had other people's dried food/ spills inside the cabinets, dead cockroaches, filth on all of the baseboards. If the property was cleaned properly and some upkeep on the rotting stairs, it would be ok.

A nice cottage! We liked the decor and the coffee bar. Seemed to be geared more towards pets than children. Close to downtown/ historic Wilmington and the beach.

Great stay! House was super clean and well-equipped. Yard for dogs was very well maintained and convenient. The neighborhood was quiet during our stay, and very close to downtown Wilmington. Had great local shops and restaurants. Took dogs on walks every morning to a local playground. Wi-Fi was strong. Shower had good water pressure and beds were comfortable. Would recommend staying here!

Cutest house ever

We felt suuuuper cozy and safe in this house. It was super clean and the host was very responsive and kind. I would live there if I could!! The location is awesome, very close to downtown and a lot of cool spots. We had a lot of fun exploring Wilmington, and the house was such a pleasure to come back to after a long day of exploring. Would rent again!! :)

Cute and convenient with responsive host

Communication was awesome prior to the visit which we needed to work out some potential timing issues with the Wilmington marathon. The house was clean and well furnished. Very cute and comfortable rooms. Having a dog friendly property with a fully fenced and safe yard was a huge bonus. Was able to feed my runner a fabulous meal and enjoy time with family without worrying about driving and parking the day of the race. Five stars across the board!

The inside was very clean and nice and friendly. The coffee bar was a nice touch. Glad it was a pet friendly property. our little dog seemed to enjoy her stay.The area at first seemed sketchy but no problems.Items to note- The water pressure at the shower head was very low, The remote for the TV in the bedroom was missing. We like to sit out on the porch, but the porch is in need of the steps and railings repaired/replaced and painted. Don't misunderstand, we DID like our stay there, just needs some maintenance.

The baseboards, walls, shower, window and blinds were filthy. Dusty with dog drool in window.beds comfy,shower needs a scrubbing, 2 fans don't work. Great space for entertaining, cute place

Our stay was nice although on our first night while cooking dinner we found the cabinets to be very dirty and the pots and pans had not been cleaned. A small roach crawled out of the sink in the kitchen while doing dishes. We then saw the roach motel in the pantry. On our final night we were trying to take a shower and a cockroach came crawling out of the tub. We decided to then head out early around 1 am due to the cleanliness and bugs as we were uncomfortable and ready to leave.

The Comforts of Home!

Staying at Tilly's Cottage was an enjoyable experience, from the well provided kitchen with herbs and spices to the wonderful coffee bar (you have to try the Kona blend!). The large TV in the living room was ideal for watching a family movie from the comfortable couch. I had never slept on a memory foam mattress before and at first thought "this is too firm". However, after snuggling in, I slept like a rock the first night and every night after. May have to get one for home.The reservation process, self-check-in and checkout all went smoothly. The hosts were very responsive to inquiries.Also, if you have a dog, there is a nice setup with food/water bowls and toys, and a fully fenced back yard. I wish I could have brought mine on the trip, but he doesn't like flying.
