Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Pender County

We had a wonderful stay and cannot recommend this home enough! Excellent access to the beach and the home has everything you could need and so much more! Hosts were very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We would love to come back!

What a delightful experience! The house was as advertised and more. Kate provided many thoughtful touches (easy entertainment navigating, extra kitchen and food treats, fully stocked kitchen and cooking aids, games, beach supplies), which were wonderful surprises. She operates a pet friendly house, with pet supplies too. The location is marvelous, and the Surf City beaches are wonderful. She truly is a five star hostess, and this lovely home is perfect for a family/pet holiday.

The house was amazing—beautifully decorated, cozy, and welcoming. Everything felt very comfortable and thoughtfully put together. The location was perfect—tucked in a quiet area but just a short drive to anything we wanted to do. The host was also incredibly responsive and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Would definitely stay again!

I feel fortunate every time I get to enjoy Timothy's Beach Adjacent home when I visit Wilmington. It's always well supplied, very comfortable, peaceful and thoughtfully designed! Cheers to Timothy: another very enjoyable stay and another job well done!

Being on the beach was awesome! We enjoyed sunrises from the hot tub, going right down our stairs to the sand, walks to the pier, evenings on the deck… It was the perfect setting for our little reunion! The house is clean and comfortable with everything you might need. Location is also super convenient to food & coffee & seafood market. The only surprises were that our space was attached to another house (neighbors were very quiet, respectful, and friendly) and that we had to make our own beds upon arrival and remove bedding before check out. Overall, Emily’s house made our time with people we love even more fun & easy! She was a communicative, helpful host and we appreciate her sharing her home!

This was a wonderful housing experience! The house was cozy and clean and had plenty of space for all the members of our family. It was in a fantastic location that was extremely convenient for us to get to stores and restaurants. Would 10/10 recommend. Kermit and Amy instructions were very clear, and they answered my questions right away, …A very attentive host team.

Loved the location. I wasn't sure about everyone in our group liking being so close to the "hubbub", but that ended up being what something we really liked about the place. Lots of things to do that are walkable. Shops, restaurants, bars, coffee houses, a beautiful walkway along the intracoastal waterway, a kids playground... And the view can't be beat! Well stocked kitchen- like truly everything you could possibly need. Lots of seating on the deck. All the things! Mom was over the moon about her 90th birthday celebration.

We stayed at Adam’s place to attend the UNCW graduation ceremony. The location was great, the space was perfect, and the house was very comfortable. We will be back!!

My husband & I had such a lovely stay here for the weekend! The apartment was spotless, cozy, and the perfect fit for us. We especially appreciated how pet-friendly it was—our dog felt right at home! The location was great, with easy access to the beach and local restaurants, just a short drive away (about 15–20 minutes). Megan, the host, was wonderful—she checked in with us to make sure everything was going smoothly, which we really appreciated. Everything was exactly as described, and the check-in process was simple and stress-free. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-located escape!

Kelly’s place was great. It was very close to the beach which allowed for easy travel back and forth. It was calm and the entire complex was quiet and safe. I will definitely keep this place in mind moving forward!

My boyfriend and I loved staying at Lauren’s place! When we arrived check-in was simple with a code and check-out instructions were clear as well. Everything was very clean and looked just like the photos. The area was great because we were less than 8 minutes from pretty much everything you can think of. Thank you Lauren!

We enjoyed a wonderful extended stay. Our family loved the space, the layout, and all the room to put things - lots of closets and dressers. The laundry machines were also very helpful. The kitchen has everything you need plus some. The balcony is a peaceful place to sit and relax. The location is ideal for Kiwanis Park, shops, and getting to the beach. The host was also very responsive and helpful. We would highly recommend this place!

Outstanding location. Easy access to Topsail and Wilmington. Beautiful layout and will return. Everything you needed or possibly wanted was there. Extremely friendly.

Sabine and Mohammed were very friendly, responsive and professional hosts and would highly recommend.

My daughter and I have the ABSOLUTE best time!! The Airbnb was soooo beautiful, clean and the natural light from the windows was so tranquil! The grounds where the Airbnb was stunning with the outdoor lighting and loved being able to look at the horses!! We have a beautiful time and cannot thank Jean enough for her wonderful suggestions and for being so warm!

The condo was spacious and so close to the beach! The open concept made it feel very comfortable right away. We definitely made good use of the big kitchen. Best part was the proximity to the beach. A quick, easy 3 minute walk and you were right at the public beach access. Would book again !

This was our third time staying here, and it never disappoints. The location is perfect with easy access to the beach—just a short walk and you're there! The space is cozy and welcoming, and the bed is incredibly comfortable. It's our favorite beach, and the kids absolutely love the pool. Always a relaxing, enjoyable stay—we'll definitely be back again!

Wonderful location in Surf City and close to everything, even walking distance to shops, restaurants, and coffee places like Sundial. Great space for families and for staying in and cooking. Really enjoyed the porch and having laundry facilities available. Would definitely stay again!

We loved our stay at The Salty Pineapple! The location was perfect! We enjoyed several meals out on the patio. Everything was exactly as Kim described. We can’t wait to visit again!

We loved our stay at Daniel’s condo. The location was perfect, couple steps away from the beach and pool access. The condo itself was spacious for our family of 5 with renovated kitchen and bathrooms. Daniel was a great host that was always responsive and even came and brought us extra towels when we needed them which we greatly appreciated. Loved our stay here and would definitely book again when we are back in Surf City!

The condo was the perfect vacation spot for a couple and our 3 kids. Love the upstairs space & decor. Pool and beach were walking distance. The beach was clean. The area was not overly crowded. Private entrance, safe. Would recommend for a family! Chris was also very responsive & helpful. Thanks for a great family vacation!

This was a great beach condo, walkway to lots of the food and attractions in Surf City. The public beach access was right down the road and they had beach chairs and an umbrella that we could use!

Perfect location, beautiful open view of the ocean, clean and well stocked for everything we needed for the stay.

The condo was perfectly clean when we arrived. Jim and Nora are extremely responsive and provided everything we could possibly need and more. The Condo and location are beautiful and quiet. We’d love to visit again someday. Thanks again!
