Holiday rentals with lake access in New Hanover County

Great stay. Clean and location is very convenient to downtown. Would definitely stay again.

Our family really enjoyed our stay. A park and lake is walking distance. Just about any store you need is a 5 minute drive away from the home. The beach is only 17 minutes away! (That was the best part) the neighborhood was quiet. A little too quiet! lol the game room was chill and the kids loved it. The host responds so fast like they just sit and wait for your inquiries lol! Overall it’s a dope spot to get for a small crew beach trip. Definitely will book again!!!!!

Darlene was a fantastic host! She communicated quickly when I had any questions. Her house was probably one of the best stocked AirBnBs that we've stayed at. The pool was so private, I knew we had neighbors, but could not see them. The house was perfect for our family! We loved Carolina Beach!

Great hosts. Very clean. Comfortable beds and beautiful renovated kitchen. Because the cottage was built in an earlier era, the bathroom is quite small but the entire home is bright, sunny, tastefully decorated and spacious. We enjoyed being close to the boardwalk, beach and lake. Great location -quiet.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this home in Wrightsville Beach! The location couldn’t have been better — just a short walk to the beach and within easy reach of great restaurants, coffee shops, and everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The house itself was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up, making it feel like a home away from home. Traveling with a 5-month-old can be tricky, but our host went above and beyond to make our stay smooth and stress-free. She was incredibly friendly and responsive, and very accommodating of our early check-in request, which made a huge difference for our family. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing, convenient beach stay with a fantastic host!

Loved the house! Comfortable bed!! And the dog area was super nice. Cute little neighborhood that’s close to everything. Definitely would stay again!

The Happy Place was a perfect getaway for our family. It was just the right size with beautiful views of the lake and a short walk to the beach. We loved being able to walk to restaurants and entertainment. We will definitely be back!

We loved our stay. The house felt like our home away from home. It was the perfect location. We will definitely visit again.

Janice was a wonderful host stayed in touch with us giving suggestions on what to do around town and events going on. THe private courtyard was very cute and inviting.

This place was a GEM of a find! Location couldn’t have been better if you’re someone who enjoys being right above the glittery blue water of Carolina Lake and a short stroll to the ocean! I’m extremely picky about mattresses and the bed was SO comfortable and sheets/pillows/towels were clearly quality. Two porches to watch the sunrise from was a big bonus. Shelia was extremely helpful and went above and beyond as a host. We can’t wait to come stay again!

We had an amazing stay at The Playa!!! Ligia was an amazing host. She was very responsive and communicated with us the entire trip. The condo was on the 3rd floor but it wasn't too bad of a walk. The condo had just enough space for 2 adults and a baby. The inside was clean and provided us with all we needed. You can see the beach from the patio. The location was amazing. The walk to the beach was quick and easy. We did not need to move our car the entire trip due to everything being in walking distance. We will definitely stay at this location again.

Cute, modern, clean place to stay! Loved how close we were to the beach and the boardwalk, we walked to the beach all 5 days we stayed. Host was super communicative and always got back to us within minutes.

Kara is the property manager and she was SUPER sweet, helpful and responsive. The beds were very comfortable and I LOVED how you can rent the golf carts (someone previously mentioned battery would die quick but that’s if your gone hours & hours just like you’d run out of gas) everything was nearby and we saved a lot of money and time with the golf carts due to parking, access to beach and price to rent. If you were to actually rent one from certain places it was WELL over $200/day. So Loreen was doing us a favor and making it more affordable lol The place was very clean ! I am a neat freak and super clean myself so I was on the look out 👀 but this place was very clean. Only reason I can’t go back is definitely NOT due to the place itself but because my senior dog couldn’t make it upstairs 😔 from now on we have to take stairs inconsideration. That’s because of our dog NOT this place This place is definitely 10/10 loved it and made some best memories with my family ❤️❤️❤️🥹

Julia was such a wonderful host! So kind and helpful. She had so many recommendations for restaurants and activities. Her condo was absolutely beautiful- her attention to all the small details was impeccable. She even had a bottle of wine to welcome us to her place. Everything from the cleanliness to the thoughtful decorative touches were just perfect and really made it feel like we were in a 5-star hotel. The well-equipped kitchen had everything we needed for our one-week stay. Our favorite spot was the oceanfront balcony - the chairs and umbrella made it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the ocean breeze and the sound of the waves. We loved everything about the condo and cannot wait to come back! Thank you so much, Julia for a wonderful and unforgettable stay.

My stay at this airb&b was perfect and so peaceful. It was 2min walk to the beach and boardwalk. Everything was walkable distance. I parked my car the whole time i was there and did not had to drive once. Its perfect location and really cute Airbnb. I will definitely be staying here every time i visit Carolina Beach. Host was really nice friendly and very responsive. This has to be one of the best Airbnbs located at prime location near the beach and all fun activities.

We loved our stay at Vitamin Sea Suites 2. Dale sent an informative, detailed message 2-3 days prior to our check-in with expectations, nearest emergency services + other information regarding our stay. The location was unbelievably close to the nearest beach access as well as within walking distance to restaurants + boardwalk. It was a small humble abode that was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was stocked with the essentials, silverware, utensils, pans, etc. Also, the kitchen is equipped with a single serve Keurig, coffee maker + toaster. We loved the outside rocking chairs to sit + listen to the waves crashing at night + the outside shower was a plus to wash off sand before heading inside from the beach. The airbnb does not offer linens, which was an easy fix, we brought our own towels, wash cloths, pillows + sheets. Dale was up front + honest about the amenities offered. We are very happy with our stay at Vitamin Sea Suites 2 + will visit again.

I stayed at the lake cottage with my 3 year old son and we had a wonderful time! We loved the fairy garden walkway to the front entrance and the cottage itself was beautiful! It’s impeccably clean and an inviting space. I also very much appreciated the complimentary coffee station and my son enjoyed the lollipops! We stayed the night after enjoying a day at the beach in Wrightsville and went out to dinner in Wilmington. It’s a short drive to the restaurants in Wilmington - plenty of dining options to choose from! I absolutely recommend the lake cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful stay that is conveniently located to the beach and downtown Wilmington! We’ll definitely plan another trip to come back! Thanks for having us!

Danielle was the perfect hostess! She was quick communicating, the property was as described, she accommodated a change (after it was too late to change) to our travel needs, and basically she and her property were a fabulous oasis minutes from the airport! What's not to love? 😀

Everything was so nice and Andrea was very responsive and respectful! Any concern that she has was quickly brought to my attention and dealt with. She was very kind about everything and my group had the best time!

Absolutely loved my stay!! From check in to check out it was an amazing experience. Will and Morgan’s place is perfect mix of private but also close enough to walk anywhere. Will definitely be staying here again in the future.
