"Saltwater Escape: 5BR Fun & Pool Paradise"
We had a great week long vacation! The pool was a hit with the kids, the house was clean and big enough for the two families who vacationed together. Diana was wonderful and responsive. I would absolutely stay again!

After Dune Delight
Travis and Amelia we're very attentive host, any questions or concerns I had they offered quick resolutions that put me at Ease. The airbnb is Beautiful and the Location is everything!! Would definitely recommend!! ❤️

WOW! Pool+Pizza Oven near Beaches, UNCW & Downtown
Loved our stay and our toddler enjoyed being in the pool. Great outdoor locations and amenities. Friendly and helpful host. Looking forward to stay in future.

Mermaid Retreat* Private Pool* Pet Friendly
Darlene was a fantastic host! She communicated quickly when I had any questions. Her house was probably one of the best stocked AirBnBs that we've stayed at. The pool was so private, I knew we had neighbors, but could not see them. The house was perfect for our family! We loved Carolina Beach!

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!

CoastalCastle~Pool~Big~Family
We had a wonderful weekend stay with family at this beautiful home. We loved spending time at the beach and then coming home relaxing by the pool. Having pool towels provided was a great bonus! Alex and Lexi were very responsive and reassuring when we reached out about a few cleaning issues we noticed. Overall, it was a great experience — highly recommend if you're looking for a relaxing weekend getaway with a pool!

Home with Salt water pool and bamboo garden view
I stayed for a little over a week and it was absolutely phenomenal! Walkable, in my opinion, to everything CB has to offer though would be a farther walk to some. The accommodations were spacious and perfect for what we needed. The outdoor space / pool was awesome, spent a lot of time reading / working out there enjoying the sun. Would definitely stay again for a long visit!

CA Sanctuary Home w/Heated Salt Pool & HotTub
We had a great stay-Jeanine was a helpful and responsive host and her home is absolutely lovely. We were staying in town for UNCW student orientation and this home was a perfect location for our family of 5. It is close to the university, close to the beach, and also close to the downtown river district. The home is absolutely beautiful and very spacious. The pool is stunning and very well maintained. It is such a peaceful and quiet neighborhood. The home is very spacious, comfortable, and serene in decor and furnishings. Lovely!

Stay Awhile! Chic Comfort Awaits
This home was exactly what our family needed! We are military and were in need of an extended stay option while we transitioned from Wilmington to FL and this was perfect. The home and its upgrades were beautiful, the backyard was great for our dog, and I was especially impressed with the nice kitchen appliances and bedroom details (high end comforters, pillows, king beds, and lots of extra bedding/blankets for a longer stay). Molly is an outstanding host who communicated often and was very friendly and helpful. We loved the distance to Bats and Brews for our baseball loving boys! Would highly recommend this home for comfort.

Ocean Vibes on the ICWW. w/pier and on peninsula
Wonderful place! The sandbar was the most amazing part! We loved kayaking around and swimming! We will be back for sure!!

Coastal Cottage
Cute little private cottage, tucked away on a quiet street, right on the water! Beautiful view off the deck and private dock. Nice little walk down to the private beach area. Everything felt and looked super clean. Perfect for a small group of friends staying in the Wilmington area. Looks just like the photos. Would definitely stay again! :)

2 bedroom cottage minutes from Wrightsville Beach
Cameron’s place was perfect for me and my daughter to stay while visiting my son. It was just as described, location was perfect, very comfortable stay. Definitely would stay again!

The Sweet Escape
Great property with great amenities and a close drive to the beach and other restaurants! Blair responded in a timely manner and her instructions were clear and helpful! Our group especially enjoyed the fire pit!

Beach & River House Getaway
I had a great 5-day stay at Jennifer’s place! She was incredibly nice and always responded very quickly whenever I had a question or needed something. The house was exactly as pictured, super clean, and very comfortable. It’s also in a convenient location—not far from restaurants and Walmart, which made things really easy during my stay. I’d definitely recommend staying here and would be happy to come back again!

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!!

A Cozy, French Themed Stay in the Heart of ILM
This home was an absolute gem and made our stay truly enjoyable! The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, with friendly neighbors that added to the welcoming atmosphere. The house was beautifully decorated with unique furniture and thoughtful details throughout, making it feel both stylish and cozy. It was fully stocked with everything we needed—and even more—which made our trip stress-free and comfortable. The location was also perfect, with easy access to all of our planned destinations. I would highly recommend this home to anyone visiting the area and would definitely book it again without hesitation!

Private Yard ~ Screened-in Porch w/ Fire pit
Great place to stay in Wilmington. Plenty of space for several adults and kids. Andy was very responsive — always a plus. There was a slight pet smell and some animal hair on the carpets, which we expected since the unit allows pets. The kitchen was a bit understocked — not many plates, glasses, or silverware, and there were no paper towels or hand towels. The floors could’ve been vacuumed and mopped more thoroughly. The bedrooms upstairs get a bit warm in the summer — likely due to an older HVAC system. That said, we still enjoyed our stay. Fast internet, a large TV perfect for watching the NHL playoffs. Plenty of space in the unit. And a good location - right between Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach

The Jade Getaway
Even though I had to cut my stay short, ( change of work plans). I really enjoyed the place. It was really comfortable and homey. I was able to relax before traveling again and I slept really good. I will definitely try to stay again when I return.

Historic Gem - A Short Walk to Downtown
We absolutely LOVED this place!! It was the perfect location & such a cute place. We walked to places downtown a ton & just fell in love with the city!! They were awesome hosts & we would definitely stay here again!

Coastal Cottage
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Beautiful and comfortable home close to historical downtown. The back porch was our favorite place to hang out. We will definitely be back.

Barrister Mansion on Fifth Ave
Enjoyed our stay at this lovely house in Wilmington. Everything in the home is beautiful and inviting and we can tell it was chosen carefully to curate a wonderful experience in this historic home. We were in walking distance of historic sites to tour, restaurants, ice cream, and coffee shops (not bar hoppers as a family with two girls, but yes, those are in walking distance as well). We enjoyed having the kitchen to make breakfast and dinner (fully equipped with everything we needed). The front porch was a delight as well! Hana was communicative throughout our stay and kindly and quickly responded to messages. Definitely a place we hope to stay again!

Lucky Lookout – An HGTV-Inspired Surfer Sanctuary
Peaceful Beach Getaway in Carolina Beach I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Carolina Beach. The location was absolutely perfect—just a short walk from the beach, but tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. It was the ideal spot to unwind and disconnect. Everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. I especially appreciated the quiet atmosphere—it made for a relaxing escape from the busyness of daily life. If you’re looking for a calm, coastal retreat with a great location, I highly recommend this place. I’d definitely love to come back again!

Seagate Cottage
Clean, close to the beach/downtown, and the yard was great for my dog to stretch his legs. Great price, will definitely try and stay here again!

Carolina Villa B~Minutes to Mayfaire and Beach!
New, clean and fresh feel, close to restaurants and the beach. Mary was a great communicator and I will look to stay here again when I'm back in town.
