Oceanfront 2bed/bath Penthouse with large balcony
I absolutely enjoyed my stay at Shirley’s place. I will most definitely look to stay again when visiting the area. As a host, she was top tier. Proactive, quick response, descriptive and so very wonderfully hospitable. Her place really felt like a home away from home. Not once did I feel I missed any creature comfort, not once at all. From cooking utensils, to streaming services during the evening and so many others. If you ever see this place available, I encourage you to book it as quick as you can. For what you pay, you receive so much in return and no worries in the least. Again, Thank you Shirley! I only hope that when I’m visiting again your accommodation is available. -Omar.

Tranquil Oceanfront Retreat on the beach
We had a great time. The place and surroundings are beautiful. We will be back

Catching Sunsets on the Cape Fear River w/ Parking
Fantastic place. Gorgeous views overlooking the Cape Fear River and Riverwalk. Everything is in walking distance, great restaurants, pubs, and shopping. The place is very comfortable.

Totally Beaching - Unit #2
This was a great experience from the first attempt to book at the last minute. Ervisa was quick to respond so we could relax and know we had a place to stay that night. We had stayed at several places during our vacation and this was by far the nicest and SUPER clean. They were again very accommodating when we wanted to add on a night. I only wish we had more time to actually hang out and enjoy the place.

Crane's Landing - Riverfront
Great location in downtown Wilmington. Was able to walk to walk to Live Oak Bank Pavilion and surrounded by plenty of restaurants. Host gave precise instructions on check and check out prior to arrival. Condo was very clean. Would recommend staying here just to visit or for future concerts.

Riverfront sunset balcony + free covered parking
Audrey gave perfect instructions regarding how to find the unit, and getting in was extremely easy. We loved the peace and quiet around us and the walkability to several great restaurants. It was the perfect getaway for the two of us for a couple of days. The space had everything that we needed and was very comfortable and very clean.

Beautiful Ocean View 2 bedroom, 2 bath
We had a wonderful time in Myrtle Beach. The place was as described with great amenities. Victor was always quick to welcome us and respond. Location was great and getting around was easy. Would definitely stay here again.

Downtown Riverfront 2 BR, deck, parking included
We travel to Wilmington a few times a year to see my daughter in college. This was by far the nicest airbnb we have stayed in. Yes it can be loud at night but you are right in the middle of everything. Shopping, restaurants, bars, river walk. We had a teenager with us so we were able to walk right downstairs to go to a few bars but not be too far away from her. The balcony back deck is great too. She felt like she was at the club on Friday and Saturday nights. The sound machine in the bedroom was great to override the noise when it was time for bed. Kathleen was so friendly and helpful and communicated throughout our stay. She was even there when we arrived to make sure we knew where to park. The unit came with two parking spots which was great when my older daughter came into downtown to visit. We would love to stay at this spot again!

Stylish Waterfront Home with Dock & Ocean Views
My family of 4 and dog really loved staying at Lisa’s place in Holden. The private fenced yard with dock was such a bonus and made the trip even more special. The kids loved fishing from the dock. The beach was a short walk away and we loved collecting shells, flying the kite and splashing on the shore. The house was just what we needed, very comfortable and cute. We’d stay again for sure! Thank you for having us!

Get Your Dock On! 4BR Sunset Views
We had expectations from the photos, but reality far exceeded our expectations. The home is true to the photos, immaculate upon arrival and everything clearly labeled and everything working (not a single burned out lightbulb). Nicola was absolutely pleasant to interact with, very responsive and helped make our stay absolutely wonderful. The home is well appointed with everything needed and lots of extras we were grateful to discover. And the home is perfectly located - we biked all over and barely used the car. Beach was a few short steps away. And plenty of outside space to relax and unwind. And the sunsets…….. just wow. My only regret - not staying longer.. We made some beautiful spring break memories with our children here - and I wouldn’t hesitate at all to return to the area - and would settle for no other property to stay. I’m so grateful I found this area and property. By far, my best AIRBNB experience yet was here. Thank you, Nicola, for sharing your beautiful home with us.

The Regency
Beautiful houseboat exactly like in the pictures. Being the end unit, it has the best view of the river and Battleship North Carolina. It also has better privacy and access convenience to the community picnic area. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Everything was perfect!

The Mazelle Porch at Gause Landing
Amazing place to stay! Celebrated my wife’s 40th birthday with family that came in to town from Arizona. The house comfortably fit 4 families and had the most beautiful view!! Plenty of space and was close to stores and restaurants. It is at the end of a very peaceful street and felt safe and secure. Highly recommend!!

River Retreat
This was the perfect spring break getaway in a quiet relaxing area that was a short distance from Myrtle Beach or the cute downtown area of Conway. All amenities were provided and it was a tranquil place to call home for the week. Loved the screened in porch and the river view! This place is truly a hidden gem!

Our Place By The Sea
If you like a beach setting, if you like the lure of the ICW and marsh as i do, then you will love Bob and Donna's listing in Oak Island. This is my new favorite place. Perfect home away from home for my family of 5. Home and amenities are perfect. Wonderful Carolina room and back deck with great views . Easy 10 minute walk to the beach.

Intracoastal Waterway Cottage Boat Dock Fishing
Great place to stay and relax. Picked a place on the intercostal water to crab but only caught a few. Maybe August was too late. I liked how she had a lot of towels and labeled where things went in the kitchen. Plenty of stuff such as paper towel, trash bags, dish washer pods, and laundry pods, etc. I’ve rented places before where we had to go buy trash bags and other stuff for the stay.

Beach House on Canal Waterfront with Dock
Great place to kick back and relax. Will definitely visit again.
Waterfront condo accommodation

Seas The Day w/ Fantastic Marina Views!
We have already recommended MK's place to some others - however, we did warn them that the unit was up 34 stairs! There was nothing in the property description to indicate that and for a couple of 73 year olds the climb with all our stuff was too much. Thankfully we had our young strong kids along! We always appreciate being able to bring our dog along, and he, along with the rest of us, totally enjoyed the 2 private balconies. The ac was plenty cold, the dryer not so hot. Beds comfortable, covered parking a plus, and we all enjoyed the pool. Location was the best, able to walk to every place, and that made it worth the 34 stair climb. Highly recommend Hang Ten Grill for huge salads and best wings ever, Salt Fish for yummy cocktails and deliciously unique entrees ( make a reservation), the Fat Pelican for a fun experience. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back!

HS-0703 Ocean Front | Pools | Hot Tub | Lazy River
Overall it was a good stay. Todd was very friendly. The condo was clean and nice. The pool,lazy river, hot tub area was not so clean.

Beautiful Cape Fear Riverfront Condo Wilmington NC
Great weekend getaway. Close to all of the shops and restaurants. Parking was a huge plus, felt comfortable leaving my car parked in the garage all weekend.

Waterfront *Extended Stay Discount* Pet Friendly
The location was directly on the beach which was perfect. Located near everything which was another pro. I’d definitely book again.

Getaway @ The Waterway Wrightsville Beach
Wonderful stay , would come back again. Very responsive host and let us know we could check in early . Perfect location on beautiful Wrightsville Beach ! Such a great space and comfortable.

River FRONT | SuperHost | Free Parking!
Everything regarding our expectations was met. We found lots to see and do in the area. Great seafood and drinks in the immediate area... we love Wilmington NC. Can't wait to return! Jim Miller

★Intracoastal Retreat★Resort Amenities★Golf Course
Working with Tanya and Jeff was super easy. Tanya was very communicative and helpful during our stay, she constantly checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. The condo was clean and had plenty of extra linens and supplies for the beach. My son and husband really enjoyed fishing off the pier, which was in close walking proximity to our building. The pool areas were clean and enjoyable. We also utilized the basketball court and pickleball court, which my boys enjoyed.

Intracoastal Waterway Waterfront First Floor Condo
we have visited our daughter at ccu often, and this condo was really nice. the view of the river was very nice from the balcony and especially loved seeing the pirate ship go by. the kitchen had everything you needed and loved the provided snacks and water. the place was decorated really cute and the hosts responded very quickly. would definitely recommend this rental.
