The Waterway Cottage @ Hess St
Welcome the day with a warm cup of coffee on the Bali style covered back porch. The sound of distant ocean waves remind you that you are intimately close to our beautiful beaches and waterways. Enjoy an easy evening stroll and sunset cocktail overlooking the waterway or launch your water toys from the local boat ramp. The all-seasons, fully screened porch allows for indoor/outdoor living year round. Whatever your reason for visiting Wilmington, the Hess Bungalow will be your new favorite spot!
Located in a quiet neighborhood, just off of the Middle Sound “Loop” this home is a cozy, comfortable retreat for couples or families. The spacious screened-in back porch overlooks a large private backyard with plenty of areas for your party to spread out and enjoy meals, games, cocktails or just lounging after a fun day on the water. The charming home has all new kitchen appliances, a large smart TV and cozy, inviting living spaces. You will have full access to the entire house and back yard. Plenty of room for multiple vehicles or your boat trailer. The Intracoastal waterway is a 5 minute walk from the house along with a community boat launch for kayaks, paddle boards or small boats. Our local outfitter can deliver any rented water toys and gear you may need during your stay. You are minutes from all of Wilmington’s hotspots. 5 miles to Mayfaire Town Center with grocery, shopping, cafes, local dining favorites and movies. Its an easy 7 miles to Wrightsville beach and UNCW and 20 minutes the historic Riverfront! At the end of a day retreat back to your quaint neighborhood for a peaceful evening under the trees!
