About this property
Twin Tides Intracoastal waterway cottage w/views of the ocean private dock &more
Welcome to the Twin Tides Intercostal Cottage. One of two of our unique side-by-side properties on the ICWW with a private pier and dock- with a slip available to our avid boaters (upon request and review assuming un-rented and for an additional fee).
We renovated this home with our own family of 6 in mind. Very family friendly and family oriented.
When we renovated, we had no intention to rent the home so we put all we had into it, making it perfect for our large family. Our kitchen features all Subzero and Wolf appliances- a true home chefs dream. The kitchen features concrete countertops- which are great but please be cautious and don't leave liquids long enough to sink in!
On the main level there is a master bedroom, with easy access off the kitchen and private access to the bathroom. Great for parents wanting a separate space from their kiddos, or a wonderful spot for in-law/grandparents.
Upstairs we have three additional bedrooms and a loft/flex space.
Currently, the loft is used with kids in mind. We have crafts and a table for kids to be creative for any afternoon storm time.
There is a bedroom specifically keeping the kids in mind. It features 2 twin beds.
The second bedroom upstairs features a king size bed and shares a bathroom with the kids bedroom.
There is also a master upstairs! This room is too perfect for parents. It features a king size bed, and the attached private bathroom spared no expense for us. It's got handmade tile in the bathroom, concrete countertops featuring shells from the intracoastal and marble flooring. It also has a massive tub for your enjoyment. The master also has its own private balcony, which is hands down the best spot to watch dolphins and the sunrise.
Our location is unique, we're located right across from a protected island. So the views will always be unspoiled from development. We're also down a long gravel driveway giving you plenty of privacy. We are also on a peninsula, allowing not only intracoastal and ocean views, but marsh views on the backside. One of my favorite things about this property is the marsh. The marsh is so alive, and something right out of a novel.
We have a large lot- esp for the beach! Please use the playground, pier, and property at your own discretion. The yard is perfect for our fur children to also get some off leash exercise, please just make sure our pet friends stay in our yard- while it's very private, we do have neighbors that share that long dirt road we live down.
For the pier, the boat slips are available for an additional fee upon prior approval and assuming the slips aren't already rented. Feel free to fish or clam or crab! There is a sand bar that peaks it's head at low tide, it is a MUST to go explore the sandbar. Let the kids catch a hermit crab or go clamming to get a real feel for the coastal lifestyle. Feel free to grab a kayak or paddle board if available. We have several but guests tend to not exactly "care" for these items so it's dwindling each year we rent. But, you're always more than welcome to bring whatever gear you may need to enjoy the water.
We also feature an outdoor bathroom and a separate outdoor shower. If you've got children, you've heard the bathroom pleas as soon as you get situated. The outdoor bath makes it easier than taking soaking wet little ones all the way in the house! The shower is excellent to wash all that sand off prior to going inside too, and obviously something us owners love for guests to use!
This house is at the end of almost a mile long dirt driveway, it's a very private escape! If seclusion isn't your thing, or you like city lights, this listing isn't for you!
We're always updating furniture and my toxic trait is never being done with renovations, so expect some updates from current photos!
Looking for a family reunion? Book our Ocean Tides private home also. Views of the Atlantic Ocean can be seen from our newly renovated property right next door!
Minutes away from Carolina Beach, the NC Fort Fisher Aquarium, the NC Battleship, golf courses or downtown Wilmington. This house spared no expense to truly make it a retreat to visit time and time again. You will love this coastal cottage that looks like it came out of a novel. We only rent enough to be able to hang on to the property and enjoy it ourselves! We hope you love our home as much as ours. In a perfect world our guests would be yearly repeat visitors!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by .

Vacationer turned local. Originally from the Charlotte area. This was previously our full time home, but we're grateful for the opportunity to share it now as a vacation home. Fully renovated to accommodate our family of 6, we know you're going to love the unspoiled views and low country lifestyle.
Why they chose this property
We love and value our privacy, but still wanted to be close to town and area beaches.
What makes this property unique
We're unique because of our location. Located on a peninsula, we have the intracoastal in front of us, and the marsh behind us. Very rare to come by and an extraordinary location!
We're right across from Masonboro Island also, so unlike other areas of Wilmington, we aren't looking at beach hotels or beach homes. We're looking at unspoiled views of the sunrise with a protected island where we'll never have to worry about a hotel popping up.
