Cloud 9 - Riverfront with Sunset View

JosephRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!

Ola Verde

MattisonRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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!

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.

Jimmy’s place

JamesRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We had such a wonderful time at Mary Margaret's place! Being steps from the beach was incredibly convenient, making it so easy to enjoy the sun and sand whenever we wanted. We also really appreciated having a cool bar with great drink specials and live music just around the corner. The apartment itself has such a lovely bohemian beach feel, it's really well designed and so comfortable. We're definitely hoping to come back soon!

Downtown Riverfront 2 BR large deck free parking

GeriRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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.

Just off the Waterway across from Masonboro Island

Paice VictoriaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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

AlisonRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!

Eagle Point on the Bay

HaniRating, 5 stars7 months ago
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 :-).

BEACHFRONT w/ pool, near boardwalk, amazing views!

LindsayRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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!

Our family enjoyed our stay at this beautiful condo. We walked on the beach to the boardwalk at night and it was perfect! Our kids loved having direct access to the beach to go out and spend endless hours in the ocean. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us.

Relaxing water view condo! Kid & Dog friendly

CrawfordRating, 5 stars5 days ago
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.

La Vista - oceanfront condo

SabrinaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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!!

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!
