One Bedroom Condo Minutes From the Beach
This was our first Airbnb experience since selling our timeshare last year. Andres & Emily made everything easy! Great check in and check out instructions. The condo was very clean, with all of the amenities they listed in their description. The bed was clean and comfortable and the living room was nicely decorated with a couch, coffee table and television. Highly recommend eating at Island Burger and Pops Diner, which are nearby. The boardwalk was only 2 blocks over. I also found a beautiful starfish necklace (I've been looking for a nice one for awhile) at a boutique called Salty Chic...very cool store located in the Publix shopping center. Overall, we had a wonderful vacation and would also highly recommend Andres And Emily's condo, especially for a couple.

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

Take a Break at Shore Break!
We spent a beautiful and relaxing week at Wendy & Jeff's Seascape. The place is EXACTLY like the photos, the view from the balcony is a dream!! Waking up to the ocean sounds every morning is something we will never forget. The apartment is very well-stocked with all the items you need to enjoy the beach, clean up afterward (lots of hot water and good shower pressure!) and cook a delicious meal (plenty of kitchen gadgets). Very easy to walk around the neighborhood, up to the pier for quick eats, or less than a mile to the little mini-mart. Parking is easy. Area is safe. The pool area across the street was clean and fun too! The hosts gave excellent, clear instructions for arrival/departure and even checked in on us via the app during our stay. Thank you so much, Wendy & Jeff!

A-Street Hideaway
The location of this rental cannot be beat. I lived in Wrightsville for 6 years so I knew the location was stellar. The house however luckily lived up to the location. We basically only slept here, but it was a great price for what you get. It is one block past the noisy bar area, you hear nothing from the bars down the Main Street but it’s so close to walk to dinner. Also very close to walk to the beach. The AC works very well!! The beds are comfortable, pillows could be better, but I always bring my own. Water pressure is great in the shower. I will definitely be considering staying here in the future.

Vintage Beach Bungalow Surf Shack
This Airbnb has so much charm and character! The kitchen was stocked with all the spices and condiments we needed, especially for cooking seafood. There are so many little activities included. For example; a sound system, card games, and outdoor equipment (chairs, skim board, shovel). Sam is a wonderful host, very attentive. One evening, a small situation came up and he responded to our message immediately. In fact, he showed up to help at 11 pm! We truly enjoyed our stay. Wrightsville is such a special place. I highly recommend staying here if you are ever in town!

THE LOFT - 1 Block to beach with office space
We really enjoyed our stay here! The Loft was just like the pictures—beautiful and clean! We would absolutely stay here again. It is located in a great spot we were able to take a short walk to a couple restaurants, as well as the beach. The hosts had very precise details on check in and check out, they made everything very easy for us. Highly recommend staying here!

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 ❤️❤️❤️🥹

Free Cart w/Parking Pass, Sleeps 4, close to Beach
Cute , quiet beachy apartment, 2 blocks from the beach, restaurants and lots of stuff to do. The golf cart was the greatest amenity. Host was friendly, responsive and helpful. VERY WORTH IT ! Would totally stay again.
Holiday House Rentals with beach access

The Modern Farmhouse of Art in Ogden
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.

Modern 3BR w/Fenced Yard –Walk to Cargo & Downtown
We really enjoyed our stay , we were looking for a place close to Live Oak Pavilion and this was the perfect spot an easy 6 min drive . About 25-30 minutes to the beach. Be prepared to pay for parking at the beach . $60.00 was a bit of a surprise, but no reflection on our host or our stay here. Everything was as pictured. Very well maintained , beds slept well . It was a win, win, for myself and 2 other couples. We would definitely recommend to our friends.

Family-Friendly 4 BR Close to Wrightsville Beach
Ariana was an absolute incredible host. She was kind and responsive and very proactive on answering any of our questions. This house has an incredible feel to it and she had everything you could possibly need! We will definitely be staying here again 💜

Beach Bum Rest & Relax (With Salt Pool)
We really enjoyed staying here. The pool was great. The house is within minutes from several restaurants and just a 15 minute drive to the beach. The house is as described and shown in photos. Gennaro was very responsive and quick to answer any questions. Thanks for having us!

Lux 2BR w/ Firepit | Walk to Restaurants
Wonderful stay for our family! The home was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. The location was great! We’d happily come back!

Midtown Retreat: Beach or Downtown
Shawn’s place was great! Very well maintained and had everything needed! Was in a great location. Will definitely stay again!

The Frenchie House, 4 Bedrooms, All King Beds
The Frenchie was fantastic and we loved staying here! The neighborhood felt safe and the back yard was a huge bonus with kids. There was one bedroom separated from the others, which ended up being perfect for my brother, who doesn’t have kids and appreciated the privacy and quiet. I would absolutely stay here again during our next trip to Wilmington.

High Tide at CB - 75 steps to Beach Access
The space was perfect for everyone who stayed, it was a little noisy with the live music nearby but we knew what we were getting into celebrating a birthday and a proposal. It was so nice being able to walk straight to the beach. Plus the parking was great

A Wave From It All
My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at A Wave From it All, and it did not disappoint. We stayed for 4 nights, and were able to enjoy the beach and the activities with no problem. The only downside was that the pool was unfortunately closed for our time here, and we had originally chose this place based on the fact that there was also a pool, however that isn’t something Jenna could control of course as they were doing construction on it; we did not know until we arrived. However, the restaurants and the boardwalk are all very close, as well as the beach access being right across from our house. We walked the pond most nights as well which was nice. Overall, we had a great experience here and will be staying again next year.

Carolina Beach Boardwalk Lux Condo w/ Ocean Views
Awesome place! It looked exactly like the pictures. It’s also in close proximity to a lot of things. Everything was clean and in good condition. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

Best Location! Beachfront-Boardwalk-Pool-Balcony
The view was beautiful and Kristen was a great host. My husband had a kidney stone attack the day before we left and she was willing to work with us if we had to stay another night but he felt well enough to leave the next day as he had a doctor‘s appointment scheduled the next day. The view was spectacular!!

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

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!

Oceanfront w/ Huge Balcony & Private Beach Access
This location and property is fantastic! Ryan has many more nice amenities than listed in the description. The back deck is awesome - my favorite place of the week (except for the beach). Coffee and watching the sunrise on the deck each morning was so nice!

Central CB with Pool @ Beach & Boardwalk
Absolutely one of the best vacations. The location is safe and there is so much to do within walking distance. My girls spent most of their days in the pool and making friends. I cant wait to go back :)
