About this property

A Beautifully Kept Historic Retreat, Walking Distance to Downtown

  • Wake up in a charming historic cottage, sip coffee on the porch then stroll just minutes to Little Washington's beautiful waterfront, local restaurants, breweries and boutique shops. Whether you are traveling with your dogs, in town for our many festivals, visiting ECU, or escaping for a quiet weekend, The Tilted Cottage is designed to feel like your own little home in coastal North Carolina.

    The cottage has been fully renovated, impeccably cleaned and stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Enjoy fast WiFi for remote work, central AC and heat for every season, plenty of parking and a spacious, fully fenced-in yard where both guests and four-legged friends can unwind.

    A few steps away is the newly updated Bug Park with brand new pickleball courts. A 10 minute walk or short bike ride carries you to Haven's Gardens Park on the Pamlico River where the kids can enjoy a large playground and picnic area or enjoy all that Main Street has to offer. If you don't feel like driving or walking back, take advantage of the FREE Tar Pamlico Trolley that will bring you straight to our front door. Then spend your night relaxing with a book, a game night or firing up the grill with friends.

    The Cottage is conveniently located just 30 minutes to Greenville NC airport (PGV), East Carolina University and 45 minutes to New Bern and Coastal Carolina Airport (EWN) making it the perfect home base.

Awesome Place to Vacation

We enjoyed this cottage so much! It was clean, had just the right amount of space, and had a huge backyard for our dog to play in. The owner was also very helpful and answered any questions we had. If you ever need a place to stay in Washington, or are going to an ECU game and don’t mind the short drive, this is the place to stay!!

ECU Visit

This was our first home vacation rental experience, and it was exceptional! The owner was generous with her time to answer questions throughout our planning and the trip itself. The house and location were exactly what we needed while visiting ECU, enjoying Washington, and traveling with two small dogs. We hope to return again in the spring!

Washington Get-Away

Tilted Cottage is in a great location - a 15-minute walk to downtown, the boardwalk, and the waterfront. The cottage is well stocked, super clean, and the large yard is great for dogs to explore. Hats off to Patricia for providing such a lovely and comfortable cottage. Will come again when we need changes in latitudes and changes in attitudes!

Very nice and well appointed house

We spent two days with our daughter. This is in a nice, quiet neighborhood and the house was very comfortable. Plenty of room, a full kitchen, living room and dining area, a nice yard, etc. Communication with the owner was excellent; very responsive. It’s located within a short walk to the water, has a playground and tennis/pickleball courts nearby. 5 minute drive to downtown Washington and nice shops, restaurants, etc. You could even walk down there from this house; it was just too hot to do that while we were staying here. Overall, a great little place in a very good location.

We love staying here and our dog always enjoys the big backyard to run it. While we prefer to stay on the water, this is a very fast drive or a quick walk to Backwater Jacks where we like to dock our boat. Convenient to Food Lion as well! Also, the yard is shaded which is nice during the hot months like July! We will definitely return!

This was our first time staying in Washington and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay! The home was perfect for us and our dogs. They loved the yard, the shade from the trees, and the easy walk downtown. It’s a quick 20min drive to Goose Creek State Park as well which is a bonus!We definitely plan on staying here again in the future, and would recommend this cottage to anyone, especially if you are traveling with your dogs!

We had a wonderful stay in this cottage in Little Washington! The cottage is extremely clean, comfortable, and well-stocked. Our schnauzers loved the huge, fenced-in yard. The location is within walking distance of the waterfront, Estuarium, restaurants, and breweries. The owner, Patty, was top-notch in terms of prompt communication and addressing questions. Highly recommend this property!!
