Mid Term & Short term stays are welcome! Come and dream again in this 4 bedroom, 2 bath, quiet space that is just 15 minutes from Surf City beaches. Beach days and relaxation await you in this roomie cottage. Enjoy your first cup of coffee in the rocking chairs on the front porch, get 9 holes in before lunch, and take the kids to a large park just around the corner with 4 Baseball fields! The scent of salty ocean air will fill your senses as you make your plans for the day. The cottage is tucked away about a mile from the 17 and a mile from the Intracoastal water way boat drop in. The perfect place to drop in those paddle boards! Down Town Wilmington is a 30 minute drive, and Camp Lejeune is about 40 minutes away. Rest, rejuvenate, relax. It's time to dream again!
With every mid term stay comes a professional complimentary cleaning once a month, so you can truly get the vacation vibes.

The house was so pretty and super clean, the owners checked on us a few times and were so nice. The house is 15 minutes away from surf city beach and 20 from topsail beach. Overall I would stay here again!
This was the perfect place for us, the house was clean, rooms were accommodating and we loved the fence in yard for our dogs. Hot tub was a plus and so was the fire pit. We would love to return for another summer trip, hopefully a little longer because we enjoyed it so much! And not far from the beach at all :) thanks for the great rental!

Thank you for choosing the Dream Again Cottage. You were Dream guests! We would love to host you again any time you're able to come!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Stayed here with my husband, our four year old daughter, and our in laws for a vacation. We drove to the beach many mornings. This would be a great property to stay at if you want to golf, as the course is nearby. The house was great; we brought up a few items with the owner that needed cleaning/attention at the end of our stay and they were responsive. Highly recommend staying here!

We absolutely loved having your group! You were Rock star guests. You are welcome any time!
Dream Cottage is a lovely house with a nice layout, great size kitchen and living area. Extremely clean, nice porch with rocking chairs. TV was easy to use and we watch our favorite teams on ESPN. Not far from Surf City andTopsail. The beaches were great. Great restaurants and shopping nearby.

So glad you enjoyed yourself! We would be glad to have you again.
House was good. Beds were semi comfy, we like a little less squeaky when turning over in bed so not to wake the whole house up when getting up to use the restroom or roll over. Kitchen was nice.

Hi Karie! I'm so sorry the beds were squeaky. Next time, don't hesitate to reach out during your stay. We have no problem sending our handy man to oil up whatever is squeaky. We are happy to do something when we know something needs attention. Have a wonderful day!
Booked this home due to its proximity to family's house. Host was easy to communicate with and was welcoming. We originally intended to have our sons stay with us, but they ditched us for Grandma's house! Yard was great as we prefer to and did travel with our pups. Host even had a Christmas tree up for the holiday!
Thanks again, would highly recommend this house and host!

Guests like you make us love hosting! You were communicative, easy going and left the place so tidy and clean. Would definitely host again!
This home felt like home. Great amenities/top line appliances in the kitchen and access to Washer/dryer really helps with such a large group in one place. the comfort in the home was excellent. the yard was easy to enjoy - watching the birds in the morning and the overall atmosphere was very comforting and enjoyable. We will return to NC from Texas and consider strongly using this home in the future. Thank you Ms. Martz!!!

We were absolutely blessed to have your family vacation at the Dream Again Cottage. You were dream guests! Please come again.
This cute place is so easy to feel at home in. It’s layout is roomy and homey at the same time. Everything you need is in the cottage and the fenced in yard is SO nice. Neighborhood is friendly, can’t ask for a better spot!
Excellent property and very friendly property manager
We had everything we could have needed to enjoy our stay. The property was within a short drive of the beach and lots of restaurant options. I highly recommend staying here!
Wonderful stay in this cute cottage. Wonderful owner who is on top of anything that you might encounter during your stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the beach and it's restaurants.
We would definately stay here again!

Your group were Dream guests! Thanks for choosing the Dream Again Cottage. We know there are many options available so we consider an honor to host guests like you. Come again!
Dream Again Cottage was indeed a dream, a nice little get away that was the right distance from the beach and a place of solace. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here and the transparency with the hosts were outstanding.
My family of 8 loved our stay! It was a perfect location for us as we travelled between Wilmington and Surf City. Also, nice to be near a park for running and a grocery store. It was extremely clean and comfortable and we appreciated the owners promptness with messaging and their hospitality! Highly recommend
Our stay was great! Loved having the amenities of home, so we could pack and travel lighter. So nice to also have a grill! The property owner was always quick to respond which was also super helpful! Would stay here again!!

You're family was great to host! We look forward to having you again and making many more memories.
The Dream Again Cottage was the perfect little place for our family to stay and make memories. Marla was amazing communicator and the house was so clean. There were new floors throughout and the kitchen was excellent for making meals. There was a fenced-in backyard and room to play with the kids. For quieter times, there was a front porch and screened-in patio with rocking chairs. The master bedroom is separate from the other two bedrooms, which is nice for privacy. We will definitely be back to continue making memories at the Dream Again Cottage.

About the host
Hosted by Marla R Martz
Hey There! We are a family that loves to adventure and we LOVE hosting others who need a retreat! We can't wait for you to visit our cottage.
We are a retired military family who have been giving families a place to make memories for over 5 years! This is our family's home away from home. It is not perfect, but the memories we have created are divine. Although we are laid back, we are also quick to resolve any issues that may arise. We hope you make many memories that last a life time!
Note: If you're looking for problems, lack a sense of humor, OR you're a chronic complainer- this is not the place for you. We love giving light hearted families and couples a comfortable place to stay. (+fur pups included) This is not the Ritz-Carlton... it's a beach cottage.
Extra Guests and Parties: We do not allow extra guests simply because some people have ruined if for the rest, and have had parties that got out of hand. Chain of commands/authorities had to be contacted. Having unregistered guests OR over 8 people WILL result in an immediate cancelation. No parties allowed!
Respecting the property is a must. We try to keep rates reasonable so you, too, can have a relaxing, memory making, vacation experience. When the home, the host, and the rules are disrespected- rates and rules increase.
Why they chose this property
From the moment you step in the cottage you will feel a weight lifted off your shoulders. With the Beach 15 min. driving distance you can start your day off at the beach watching the sunrise and end your day on the patio in the hot tub. If you're looking for problems, lack a sense of humor, OR you're a chronic complainer- this is not the place for you. We are a light hearted family that enjoy this space when guests are not there. If there's an emergency, we are quick to rectify it. It's a cozy cottage that holds many family memories. It's our little slice of heaven that we love to stay at. We love hosting families like ours who are light hearted and are just wanting a reasonable get away to relax and make memories.
What makes this property unique
Out door spaces, driving distance to the beach, 5 minutes from the closest boat drop, the spacious kitchen, Kiwanis park just 2 minutes away.... the relaxation is endless.
