Tranquil Oceanfront Retreat on the beach
Great place! The location was fabulous. The space was nicely decorated and beautifully maintained.

Stunning Sunsets, Walkable Condo, Covered Parking
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bob's place! It was just as advertised, clean and welcoming. The balcony over the river is where we put in the most hours, just watching the changes in the river, the various boats, and people-watching on the river walk. Everything we did was within minutes of the condo...great restaurants and shopping. Bob provided plenty of info and recommendations for eating and sightseeing. We were there on Memorial Day and could easily see the USS North Carolina lit up in red, white and blue. Even though it was cloudy/rainy most of the time, the awning on the balcony kept us dry and comfortable. A couple of time we had questions for Bob and he was immediately responsive and helpful. It was just the relaxing getaway we were hoping for! We would recommend this spot anytime for 2 guests!

Ola Verde
Great place to stay! Jarrod and his wife were very friendly and responsive with any questions on the app. They even let us check in early. Accommodating bikes was so thoughtful and fun for us as we biked to coffee places and lunch. We kayaked to palm tree island and that was so much fun! It’s also a great location to walk to the beach as well! The balcony was so peaceful in the morning and at night. 10/10 experience and first time vacationing to Wilmington. Will 100% come back!

Riverfront sunset balcony + free covered parking
My husband and I enjoyed spending the weekend here for a wedding! The apartment is beautifully situated over the water with an amazing view. Right near the apartment is a local place to get drinks. The apartment is walking distance to everything, but also far enough where we didn’t hear a lot of noise. Aubrey was very responsive and gave explicit directions. It was helpful to have the parking garage which wasn’t far away at all! We also appreciated the “manual” with recommendations for local favorites including shopping and restaurants! The apartment was nicely decorated and clean. We would definitely stay there again! Thank you!

Jimmy’s place
We had such a wonderful time at Mary Margaret's place! Being steps from the beach was incredibly convenient, making it so easy to enjoy the sun and sand whenever we wanted. We also really appreciated having a cool bar with great drink specials and live music just around the corner. The apartment itself has such a lovely bohemian beach feel, it's really well designed and so comfortable. We're definitely hoping to come back soon!

Beachfront Condo w/ Indoor/Outdoor Pool
Alison’s place is truly perfection. Everything was just as described. The condo is literally STEPS to the most beautiful beach I’ve ever visited. I’m in LOVE with Kure!

Beautiful Waterway View w/parking *No service fee!
it was the most relaxing vacation I ever had.

River Retreat
We had such an amazing time at River Retreat! Felt very safe and comfortable right at home truly. It unfortunately was raining so bad one of the days but that didn’t stop us we still had a great time, make sure you enjoy that sunset on the balcony or catch the sunrise, it’s worth it! :)

Time In A Bottle*Oceanfront*Views*Linens
Outstanding beachfront cottage No houses on adjacent lots Near the end of the island No crowds, serene, quiet Big beaches just across the dunes from the house Really well equipped, everything thought of & provided Great beds, clean, well decorated Easy from check in to check out Loved it Thank you Amy👏👏👏😎

Oak Island Beach House #2
This home has everything you need for a relaxing coastal stay. The beautiful deck with Adirondack chairs is perfect for watching the waves and enjoying a cocktail. The kitchen was well-stocked with essentials (like a peeler and bottle opener), which made it easy to cook meals for our family of five. The TV setup worked great for a cozy family movie night. We brought our own beach toys and chairs, but it would be a nice touch if the property offered some for guest use. The outdoor shower, easy parking and laundry downstairs completed the package! We only stayed one night but definitely would come back for longer. The beach here is gorgeous!

Saltwater Cottage
This is now our go-to house for the beach. The two bedrooms on the second floor are spacious, clean, and have access to a large balcony with rocking chairs and loungers. There are so many places to talk, have coffee, read, write, and relax. In other places that we've rented, there has been a "corporate" vibe, but this place felt very personal, mainly because of the thoughtfulness in the details. I felt like I was visiting a very cool friend's home. Everything was accessible, clean, and easy to navigate. I cooked several meals here and never felt lost or that the logistics or appliances were overly complicated like I have in other places. The host was kind and accessible.

Beachfront-Oak Island Memories Oceanfront
The 5 of us old high school pals had a stupendous time. Tons of laughter on the deck overlooking the water. Great views! The cottage had everything we needed!

Ebb Tide - Oceanfront house with 4 bedrooms!
stayed June 7th-14th 2025 and we had a great vacation. house was on the beach and walkable to the resturants and boardwalk. would recommend and stay again.

Luxury Beachfront! 2nd Floor Full Ocean Views!
The condo was wonderful. The whole place felt fresh and clean. Mary Anne was a great host, and had everything covered! We so appreciated all of her thoughtfulness! And the view of the ocean and the private beach access was perfect! We really enjoyed our time there.

Steps to the Beach: Weekly Discounts
We loved our stay in Carolina Beach! This house is a GEM - so clean, literally steps from the beach, and slept 9 adults very comfortably! This was one of the best stocked Airbnb kitchens I’ve ever stayed in. Lindsey thought of everything. We only wish we could’ve stayed longer. Would highly recommend booking!

Oceanfront,pet friendly,fenced yard
Couldn’t ask for a better location. Gorgeous views of the ocean, easy access to the beach, walk to grocery stores and restaurants. The bottom of the house is basically a big sandbox that our 4 year old and dog could play in all day. Peaceful and relaxing vacation. We’d stay here again!

Coastal Escapes Luxury 3 bdrm Oceanfront Condo
Beautiful condo with the boardwalk in walking distance and ocean front. Loved the rooftop lounge chairs, private and quiet. Pool was clean and relaxing. Will definitely be booking again!

OIB Oceanfront 3 Bd, 2 Bth with linens!
We absolutely loved our week at Anne’s condo. It was not only beautifully decorated, but also very cozy and comfortable. Our favorite place to hang out was on the deck overlooking the beach and pool. The kitchen was amazing. Everything we needed was right there. The beds were so comfortable. Anne was extremely helpful in every way. She answered all my questions and provided lots of great helpful hints about where to visit and eat. It was an awesome first visit to Ocean Isle Beach and definitely not our last.

River FRONT | SuperHost | Free Parking!
Our first time in Wilmington, NC & found this place last minute & it did not disappoint! Roomy for a family of four, beautiful view, walkable to downtown, & the condo had all the amenities we needed ! Bedroom king bed was very comfy & we liked having our own tv ! We plan to visit the area more often & will stay again! Aaron was a great host!

Newly Renovated Panoramic OCEANFRONT Views
We had a wonderful stay at David’s condo in Carolina Beach. If we had any questions, they were addressed immediately and we were comforted by his attention to our needs. The serene view of the ocean will make your cares melt away and this was the perfect escape for our family to connect, relax, rest, and recharge. The beach access is a few steps out the door and down a short path. A bonus of this location is walkability (be mindful that there are no sidewalks, but cars and golf carts on the road are very accommodating and there are crossing lines.) Some of our favorites places to go - The Spot, the Ice Cream Shop and Ocean Grill and Tiki Bar. The boardwalk is a short drive - 2-4 minutes. And Hurricane Alley’s was fantastic food, view, vibe. Thank you for making our first visit to Carolina Beach so special and memorable. We hope there will be many more!!

Shell of a Vibe Beach Condo - Oceanfront and Chill
It was our 40th anniversary and we decided that we wanted to go to our favorite beach in North Carolina. We could see the ocean from this apartment and a very short walk to the beach. Enjoyed sleeping on the beds and having 2 bathrooms were fantastic. AC was great and water pressure in shower, was too. They had everything you needed and didnt lack on the supplies. It was a memorable vacation that we will never forget. Thanks Curtis

OIB~Oceanfront Condo 3 Bd/2Bath, linens included!
We have stayed here a few times and have always had a great experience! Anne is very responsive and always friendly. The place is well equipped and comfortably accommodates our family of five. Definitely recommend!

La Vista - oceanfront condominium
We were here for my birthday! The owners were incredible! Very kind and gave us great options for restaurants and also a firework display. The condo was perfect. Amazing views. The kitchen had everything you need and everything worked well. The master bedroom had a great master bath with all amenities. But let me tell you about the master bedroom bed. The most comfortable bed ever!! If you have a rain day and have to stay indoors this is the place to stay. Don't forget to play some song on the guitar. When we come back we will definitely plan our trip to stay here. I cannot thank the owners enough for there hospitality!!

Doc’s Holiday - A Beachfront Retreat
Such a lovely stay; top floor, perfect beach views. Abby is a very kind and gracious hosts. One of our favorite stays so far. We would definitely stay here again
