Holiday rentals with lake access in New Hanover County

Me and my friends enjoyed our stay! It was very spacious. Very clean! And close to everything.

Our family really enjoyed our stay. A park and lake is walking distance. Just about any store you need is a 5 minute drive away from the home. The beach is only 17 minutes away! (That was the best part) the neighborhood was quiet. A little too quiet! lol the game room was chill and the kids loved it. The host responds so fast like they just sit and wait for your inquiries lol! Overall it’s a dope spot to get for a small crew beach trip. Definitely will book again!!!!!

Great house in a great location. The back yard and pool were lovely! Nice private fenced yard great for dogs and kids. The house was stocked with everything we needed and the attention to detail throughout the home was great! We would definitely stay again!

Great hosts. Very clean. Comfortable beds and beautiful renovated kitchen. Because the cottage was built in an earlier era, the bathroom is quite small but the entire home is bright, sunny, tastefully decorated and spacious. We enjoyed being close to the boardwalk, beach and lake. Great location -quiet.

Madison was such a great host, she was very responsive when we had questions and her home was beautiful and perfect for our family weekend at the beach! It was a great location and walkable to so many things. We would stay again.

Loved the house! Comfortable bed!! And the dog area was super nice. Cute little neighborhood that’s close to everything. Definitely would stay again!

The Happy Place was a perfect getaway for our family. It was just the right size with beautiful views of the lake and a short walk to the beach. We loved being able to walk to restaurants and entertainment. We will definitely be back!

Hosts are very proactive with responses. House was beautiful and clean. 10/10 would stay here again!

Neat, colorful space in a great location. Friendly host. Would love to stay here again!

This place was a GEM of a find! Location couldn’t have been better if you’re someone who enjoys being right above the glittery blue water of Carolina Lake and a short stroll to the ocean! I’m extremely picky about mattresses and the bed was SO comfortable and sheets/pillows/towels were clearly quality. Two porches to watch the sunrise from was a big bonus. Shelia was extremely helpful and went above and beyond as a host. We can’t wait to come stay again!

We had an amazing stay at The Playa!!! Ligia was an amazing host. She was very responsive and communicated with us the entire trip. The condo was on the 3rd floor but it wasn't too bad of a walk. The condo had just enough space for 2 adults and a baby. The inside was clean and provided us with all we needed. You can see the beach from the patio. The location was amazing. The walk to the beach was quick and easy. We did not need to move our car the entire trip due to everything being in walking distance. We will definitely stay at this location again.

Amazing space, clean and small. Close to everything, short walk to the beach/short drive to Wilmington. Yelena is a very helpful host, any concerns we had, she delivered help. Remember that this airbnb is shared, you may hear the neighbors occasionally. We are extremely grateful for Yelena’s help in that regard! Would love to visit again ❤️

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 ❤️❤️❤️🥹

Julia was such a wonderful host! So kind and helpful. She had so many recommendations for restaurants and activities. Her condo was absolutely beautiful- her attention to all the small details was impeccable. She even had a bottle of wine to welcome us to her place. Everything from the cleanliness to the thoughtful decorative touches were just perfect and really made it feel like we were in a 5-star hotel. The well-equipped kitchen had everything we needed for our one-week stay. Our favorite spot was the oceanfront balcony - the chairs and umbrella made it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the ocean breeze and the sound of the waves. We loved everything about the condo and cannot wait to come back! Thank you so much, Julia for a wonderful and unforgettable stay.

My stay at this airb&b was perfect and so peaceful. It was 2min walk to the beach and boardwalk. Everything was walkable distance. I parked my car the whole time i was there and did not had to drive once. Its perfect location and really cute Airbnb. I will definitely be staying here every time i visit Carolina Beach. Host was really nice friendly and very responsive. This has to be one of the best Airbnbs located at prime location near the beach and all fun activities.

Our family had a wonderful week ! Beautiful home and gorgeous setting. We kayaked everyday.. the dock also provided amazing views and peaceful moments. David and Christine are so thoughtful and friendly as well as aware of your privacy. I cannot express enough gratitude for such a great experience and beautiful place to stay. My husband and I both think our favorite Airbnb ever!!! Delicious coffee, beach provisions, comfy bed and nice linens, amazing shower and the best treats … the gorgeous trees and birds to greet you daily. We cannot wait to return. Thank you again!

The cottage was very cute and inviting. We arrived pretty late, but with clear instructions, it was a breeze getting inside. It was very nice having a tranquil walkway that had lights that light up as you walk up. The lights were on inside which was nice for us arriving late. The bed and linens were nice and soft. The amphitheater is just a short stroll away and the lake across the street was beautiful to walk. The host was very friendly. We enjoyed our stay.

Danielle was the perfect hostess! She was quick communicating, the property was as described, she accommodated a change (after it was too late to change) to our travel needs, and basically she and her property were a fabulous oasis minutes from the airport! What's not to love? 😀

Great place! Close the everything. Very clean and comfortable. Host responded very quickly and was helpful with answering questions. Highly recommend to friends and family. Would stay here again!

This place is a great getaway and much needed! Great location and pet friendly. Will definitely stay again!
