Other Details to Note

The cottage is tucked into a natural wooded setting in the back of an acre property which is shared with the owners personal home and detached workshop (Quonset hut -metal barn structure). Your hosts, Kristi & Ian, own an adventure company (Epic Excursions) in Wrightsville Beach and use the Quonset hut to store their surf/paddle boards and boating gear (hence the name "Captain's Hideout"). The cottage is situated behind the quonset hut, providing plenty of privacy for guests. A private driveway leads to the cottage which is used just for Captain's Hideout guests! The property is located in the back of a beautiful neighborhood (which is considered prime location in Wilmington) and feels like a true getaway, even though you are minutes to the beach. As owners we like to respect the privacy of our guests, but feel free to say hello if we cross paths. If you decide to take on a boating adventure with Epic Excursions during your stay, message us and we can offer a discount since you are a guest in our cottage.

Absolutely one of favorite spots we have visited! It was a beautiful, unique and private spot but still centrally located to places and restaurants. Kristi and Ian were very responsive and helpful with recommendations. I couldn’t recommend their place more for a couple looking to visit Wilmington.

Great place! The outdoor shower was great and the place is best for just a couple it’s a little tight with 4, but the guests were great. Epic Excursions was an added plus! 🛥️☀️

Kristi & Ian’s cozy coastal cottage is perfection! Beautiful interior and we felt right at home. Highly recommend for a couple looking to stay in Wilmington for a long weekend. We loved the comfy, cozy cottage as well its location (close to Wrightsville & not too far from DT Wilmington). Absolutely lovely place to stay.

Great Experience at the cottage! This location was very private, great decor and fun experience. This house was perfect for a weekend away with my wife. Kristi and Ian were very responsive and checked in via text to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall wonderful experience and would love to stay here again.
