Crusty Crab
Anna’s place was just perfect! Clean, comfortable, & cute as a button!!! She was a wonderful host and even left us a sweet note with a gift card when we arrived! Highly recommend if you are looking for the perfect get away home! Thank You Anna!!!

Beach House Getaway
Tony and his property are top notch. If you’re on the fence about this property or another, go with Tony! This property is EXACTLY as listed and what the photos show. The fenced in back yard was a bonus for our two dogs to play. It’s always nice to find a property that is looking out for your dogs. Overall well worth the money.

Mermaid Retreat* Private Pool* Pet Friendly
Great location, and a great time. Backyard with pool is perfect with plenty of room for activities and entertaining. You can walk to the beach and restaurants within minutes.

Designer Coastal Home with Pool and Day dock
We were impressed how comfortable her place was for us. We were moving from New Jersey to Leland and had a gap between closings and needed a comfortable place for an 8 night stay and it was absolutely perfect. Its a beautiful comfortable home and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Extremely happy with our choice of accomodations. Highly recommend. Beautiful neighborhood and pool area too. Just lovely.

Dreamy Cottage 2 Blocks to Beach, Boardwalk & Lake
Clean, pretty, easy to find and convenient location. It is listed as entire house, however, there is a unit downstairs which is fine but the backyard and deck is open to both units. That wasn’t a problem but would have been good to know as we both had pets there. Again, no issues and the place is perfect for location, cleanliness and good hosts so no complaints!

Endless Summer House: short walk to beach!
We stayed here with another couple for a wedding. Our friend has mobility issues so the few steps and walk in shower were very helpful. The house is even better than the photos. It was very clean and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. Very convenient to the Boardwalk and Britt’s Donuts! Would stay here again!

Updated Luxury, Family Friendly - Dock, 2 Clubs
Five Stars All the Way! We had the most incredible stay at Vaycash on Bald Head Island! From the moment we walked in, it felt less like a rental and more like staying at a dear friend’s beautiful home. Stef has thought of everything—the home is gorgeously decorated, full of charm, and stocked with more amenities than any place we've ever stayed. This was hands-down the most above-and-beyond experience we’ve ever had with an Airbnb. Every detail was thoughtfully done—from the fully equipped kitchen (a dream to cook in!) to the peaceful, tucked-away location in the woods that gave us the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. The golf cart made exploring the island a breeze, and the kids were thrilled with the bikes and kayaks. Stef’s generosity and attention to detail made this getaway truly special—we didn’t want to leave! We can’t recommend Vaycash highly enough and are already dreaming about our next visit.

Classic Coastal Carolina Beach House 4 BR 3 Baths
We had such a wonderful time! The house was so beautiful and perfect for our family! Tyler was very responsive any time we had questions about anything. The porch was so relaxing! Golf carting around the island and exploring was probably our favorite! We hope to visit again!

Painted Lady
Neat, colorful space in a great location. Friendly host. Would love to stay here again!

Lala Land
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!

Welcome to The Playa!
We had a wonderful experience staying at the Carolina Beach property. Ligia was an exceptional host — she was very responsive and kept in constant communication throughout our stay. When we faced an A/C issue, she was quick to take action and made sure it was resolved promptly. She is truly on top of everything and made sure we were comfortable at all times. Her husband, Carlos, was also incredibly helpful and supportive. Overall, their hospitality made our stay even better. Highly recommend

Fresh & modern getaway, with EV charger!
Great place for a beach getaway! Location is about a 7 min walk to the nearest public beach access and the place was clean and beautifully decorated. Would definitely recommend.

Crabby Pad #2 Entire upper unit
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 ❤️❤️❤️🥹

Million Dollar View Immaculate Pristine Oceanfront
Julia was great to deal with! She was super responsive and gave us some great recommendations of local restaurants and places to check out!!

Carolina Beach! Close to boardwalk and beach!
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.

Clean & Cozy Studio | Walk to Beach, Lake & Park
Super cute and cozy just as described. Well stocked and felt right at home. Hosts were super responsive and provided clear instructions throughout the entire booking and checking out process. Perfect stay for a quick trip or long weekend. Would definitely stay here again!

Blue Star Cottage
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? 😀

Charming Beach Cottage-1 block to beach/boardwalk
Great place! Close the everything. Very clean and comfortable. Host responded very quickly and was helpful with answering questions. Highly recommend to friends and family. Would stay here again!

A-Frame | 2 blocks to Beach | Pet Friendly | Loft
Will and Morgan were so flexible with us- responses were fast and friendly. The space is great- so close to the beach and very walkable. Comfy beds and soft towels. 10000000% recommend!

A Cozy Little Oasis in the Woods
This is the second time we have stayed at this Airbnb. It feels like our “second home” in NC when we go to visit our daughter. They provide all you need for a successful and stress-free stay. Thank you for sharing your house. We enjoyed our stay and will be back again next spring break.

Cottage at Greenfield Lake, Airy, Natural Light
The place and stay were fantastic. The kitchen had everything that we needed, which is what I was worried about. Would stay here again 100%!

The Cove At Myrtle Grove
This was a lovely property and an excellent stay, highly recommend!! First off, the location is prime - it's very convenient to the beaches (about 15 min to Carolina Beach, and 20 to Wrightsville) and a reasonable drive to other Wilmington classics like the Riverwalk, the Cargo district, and shopping centers. There are several grocery options close by (Lowe's Foods, Publix) if you need to stock up for your stay. Michelle's directions for finding the property were spot on and simple to follow. The property itself is quiet and peaceful, right on the intracoastal with unbeatable views from the living room and larger bedroom, not to mention the back deck and yard. The house was well stocked and spotless, and very comfortable! I hope to stay for a longer stretch in the future.

The Surf Chalet
The charming and cozy cottage was the perfect spot for our cousin’s weekend at the beach. All the restaurants and beach were just a couple of blocks away. Charles was super quick to respond to any questions and the check-in was seamless. Be sure to check out Nikki’s Sushi- super delicious. Also, Coharie Coastal Boutique is a wonderful shop. Highly recommend the cottage and area.
