About the host

I am an animal lover, book reader, and lover of creature comforts. I truly love hosting and helping people relax.
Why they chose this property
The Side Piece Cottage was lovingly restored from the roof down to the floors by a talented local builder. My husband and loved it so much that we got married in the backyard under the Pergola. From the gorgeous wide-plank wood floors to the stunning reclaimed porch overhangs, every little detail in the cottage has been carefully thought out. Guests frequently comment on how beautiful, clean, and comfortable the cottage is. We have been asked multiple times by professional photographers if they can rent the cottage for photo shoots. It really is a magical spot :)
What makes this property unique
We offer lots of little extras that most Air BnBs don't, like snacks and a coffee bar. We recycle and use earth-friendly cleaners, linens, soaps and shampoos (except for the Keurig--sorry planet!). Our mattresses are high end and the sheets are so soft that we are often asked where we get them from. We provide an interactive wall display with a map of Wilmington and guide to our favorite places. We clean the cottage ourselves because we do not trust cleaning companies to do as thorough of a job.
The best part? You do not have to do ANY cleaning before you leave. NOTHING. No one should have to clean on vacay!
If you are not happy for any reason, we will make it right.
