Cloud 9 - Riverfront with Sunset View
Can’t say enough great things about the host. Flexible check ins with a late arrival and was very responsive. The place itself was clean and in the heart of the town. Beautiful view of the river, and felt great to stay there. Could not recommend more for anyone staying in the Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach area!

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

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!

Take a Break at Shore Break!
The view the view the view! Listen to the beach your whole trip from your balcony. Comfortable, clean, convenient location, private and quiet! Excellent unit! We travel a lot and this was our favorite vacation spot ever!

Catching Sunsets on the Cape Fear River w/ Parking
We visited Wilmington for a concert at Live Oak Bank Pavilion. We enjoyed the restaurants and shops close by. Loved the view. Slept comfortably in the king bed. We would definitely stay here again. Oh, and the host is very responsive and helpful.

Downtown Riverfront 2 BR large deck free parking
Kathleen's place was perfect for 4 of us who came to Wilmington for the weekend. She responded to all of our needs. The flat is located in the heart of the vibrant and trendy downtown Wilmington, even right above a bar. Kathleen anticipated our needs by providing ear plugs and eye masks, to assure we could sleep in each morning.

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! :)

Lookout @ The Cove Riverwalk Villas
Great stay. The houseboat was beautiful, pristine and easy to get to and from parking. The balcony was peaceful and all the amenities were there as advertised. Highly recommend staying here. The staff was responsive, easy to reach and friendly! 5/5 stars

Beachfront Oasis w/ 2 Large Decks, BBQ & Views!
Our stay at this beachside Airbnb was absolutely perfect! The home was exactly as listed—clean, bright, and beautifully decorated with a relaxing coastal vibe. We loved waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying our morning coffee with ocean views. The beach was just steps away. We couldn’t have asked for a better beach escape—already dreaming of coming back!

Just off the Waterway across from Masonboro Island
We had the best time!! We were able to bring our boat and park it at the boat dock. I will say if you have a bigger boat I don’t know if you will be able to park there all weekend, but not a far drive at all to a boat ramp. The place was very clean and had all the things you will need! There is even dog toys and a bed! Betsy was super helpful and nice. We will definitely come and stay many more times.

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!

Vintage Mid-Century Beach Cottage
Great location in south end - quiet, residential with beautiful gardens, a quick walk to the beach. Beautifully decorated house with authentic touches. Comfortable beds and super soft towels! Everything you could need for a vacation stay. Loved it!

Waterfront Home with Private Boat Dock & Hot Tub
We had an incredible stay at Jodi’s home, the location is perfect with close proximity to restaurants, the beach, and grocery stores. When we got there we actually didn’t want to leave since we felt right at home! We cannot wait to go back!!

Eagle Point on the Bay
The place was perfect in every aspect: The location, size, accommodations, amenities, and proximity to the areas we frequented. For our tennis group, the total cost was less than what a hotel would have cost, which is historically where we used to stay. This experience, summarized by our ability to share one place, travel together, have meals together, watch TV together, and have the large space to spread out was absolutely fantastic. The experience was positive any which way you look at it. On top of that, Jana (and her husband) were super hosts with super friendly communication. We wish we had the opportunity to meet them in person, but..............maybe this time next year :-).

On Island Time
My friends and I had so much fun playing ping pong and using the kayaks and bikes provided. We were able to bike to the beach and nearby coffee shops! The outdoor shower was so nice when coming back from the beach to wash off without tracking sand everywhere. The neighborhood was beautiful, and only one row back from the waterfront at the channel! When we arrived, we were lucky enough to run into Anne and David, and they were so kind to provide us with the best local spots and recommendations! The space was very clean and cozy with so many extra throw blankets around the living room. The snacks and wine provided were such a thoughtful touch!
Waterfront condo accommodation

The Gathering Place Condo w/ Ocean Views & Pool
My husband and I came down for a quick couple days get away, and it was a perfect place to stay! Convenient to everything, steps from the beach, and very private and quiet. We enjoyed taking a dip in the pool after spending a couple hours on the beach! We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

BEACHFRONT w/ pool, near boardwalk, amazing views!
The beautiful balcony, space just as expected, responsive host, and all the essentials already there made our first family of 3 vacation with our little boy very enjoyable! We loved ordering dinner and eating on the patio to watch the sunset. The pool is clean and perfect after a day at the beach!

1 BR Condo - Water Views - 2 Min Walk to Beach
Great location, clean condo, and was exactly as described! Only a couple of minute walk to the beach, umbrella and chairs were provided, and Kelly was super friendly and responsive. I would stay here again!

Relaxing water view condo! Kid & Dog friendly
This rental was exceptional ! We had a wonderful time and felt right at home. The cooking pans, cups, plates, utensils, oil, coffee made it very easy to be there!. It was clear this family just wanted us to share in the beauty of their convenient location to several beaches and fun, while being able to get away and enjoy the peaceful place. The linens were very clean! We had someone staying above us and never even heard their feet. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place.

Oceanfront Coastal Condo w/ Pool
Great location, great beach. we had an awesome time here. will be back!

OCEANFRONT PARADISE WITH SPECTACULAR OCEAN VIEWS
Clean, comfortable and well located right on the ocean. Short walk to the public beach access. Enjoyed casual dinner and live music at the Sea Witch a few miles away.

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!!

Serene Oceanfront GetAway! #NamasteHereYall
I had an awesome stay at Christy’s place in Carolina Beach! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach and close to great restaurants. The place was super clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. Christy was a fantastic host—very friendly, responsive, and made everything easy. You can tell she really cares about her guests. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
