Waterfront vacation rentals in Cape Fear River

I absolutely enjoyed my stay at Shirley’s place. I will most definitely look to stay again when visiting the area. As a host, she was top tier. Proactive, quick response, descriptive and so very wonderfully hospitable. Her place really felt like a home away from home. Not once did I feel I missed any creature comfort, not once at all. From cooking utensils, to streaming services during the evening and so many others. If you ever see this place available, I encourage you to book it as quick as you can. For what you pay, you receive so much in return and no worries in the least. Again, Thank you Shirley! I only hope that when I’m visiting again your accommodation is available. -Omar.

Let me start by saying the home is located in the heart of Jacksonville NC. The view is truly amazing! I felt safe, relax and at home. The home is equipped with everything that I needed. Melinda is a gem, she reached out with me a few times during my stay to make sure that I’m ok and have everything that I needed and also informed me the day she spotted dolphins were passing by. Love this place. Thank you Melinda for sharing your beautiful place.

Great place and right in the heart of everything. We wish we planned more time, the place had beautiful sunsets.

This host lives on site and great to communicate with. Felt like home. This place was beautiful. The porch out back was so relaxing. Clean and wonderfully supplied. Quick walk to the beach and neighborhood was quiet. Will return again hopefully soon!!

Although the room is small for two people, it is thoughtfully designed and tastefully appointed. We found everything we needed for a weekend getaway, including folding tables in the closet and beach gear on the patio. Weather was spectacular, so we enjoyed the location, with lots of outdoor seating and a long view of the marsh. Bonuses: the luxurious bathrobes and an All-Park Pass for guests’ use! The Millstone Biscuit Company on Bus. 17 heading north is a great place for breakfast. We would definitely book again with Gail and Gerry - Ann & Lev

Audrey gave perfect instructions regarding how to find the unit, and getting in was extremely easy. We loved the peace and quiet around us and the walkability to several great restaurants. It was the perfect getaway for the two of us for a couple of days. The space had everything that we needed and was very comfortable and very clean.

My family enjoyed staying there. It was comfortable, beautiful, peaceful, friendly, clean, and we literally had the best sleep we have had in the longest time, those beds were so comfortable. We really enjoyed the doc and the pool.

We had a wonderful and much needed get away - Exploring New Bern was great - so convenient and we really appreciated how peaceful Lil'dock was. More spacious that the photos showed and so clean and neat! Enjoyed sitting on the back porch and seeing the sunset.

We stayed at Ric and Chelsea’s place for a week and everything was great! House was wonderful and exactly what our family needed. Lots of things to do at the house and in a very walkable location. Ric was very communicative. All around great stay.

Beautiful area with amazing view to wake up to every morning! Would definitely be going back. Glad I found this place.

My family of 6 and pup enjoyed our stay so much. The location was perfect for some kayaking and fishing on the waterway, and just a few minutes walk to the public beach access. The house had everything that we needed including a dog crate which was so convenient to not have to pack one. The kitchen was furnished with some extra cooking items that came in handy since we had forgotten a few things. There was plenty of extra blankets and towels and games for the kids. Overall, the house literally had everything that was needed with so many places to relax including hanging hammock swings, lots of deck furniture, a wrap around porch with beautiful views, spacious dock, swinging bench, and a large living room with big windows. We highly recommend this property!!

We always enjoy staying on this area. The view from the house was spectacular! We would definitely recommend staying here.

Our stay was so relaxing and in close proximity to downtown New Bern. The mornings were so quiet with birds singing. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful houseboat exactly like in the pictures. Being the end unit, it has the best view of the river and Battleship North Carolina. It also has better privacy and access convenience to the community picnic area. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Everything was perfect!

We really enjoyed our stay. All questions were answered in a timely manner. House was great. Really enjoyed the deck space. We also rented a golf cart and pick up and drop off were super simple.

Peaceful, quiet and relaxing!! If you are looking for a spotless Airbnb on the water, look no further than Maria’s dock house! This home is so beautiful! We spent so much of our time relaxing outside on the covered porch with the dogs. Views are 10/10. Sunsets from the porch are gorgeous. Easy and short walk to the beach. Quiet street and easy access to all of Cherry Grove Beach. Shopping center with Publix, TJ maxx, Chipotle, etc only quick 10 mins away. This home is fully stocked with everything you may need. Awesome tvs!! Tons of options for exploring the outdoors - kayaking, paddle board, golf cart rental, beach gear, games, grill, crabbing and fishing gear, you name it! We really enjoyed having all of our meals together at the outdoor dining table, kayaking, going crabbing and just watching the wildlife from the dock! Maria is very helpful, accommodating and responsive with any questions, needs, etc. We hope to visit again!

Very happy with our stay here! Beach is such an easy walk with access directly across the street. Pretty sunset views over marina. The restaurant at the marina next door is also very tasty! The beach was lovely and quiet during our stay. The condo is decorated well and has a nice layout. Our family of 5 was comfortable throughout the stay. Highly recommend!

Overall it was a good stay. Todd was very friendly. The condo was clean and nice. The pool,lazy river, hot tub area was not so clean.

The apartment is on the second floor with a beautiful view overlooking the boardwalk and Cape Fear River. Nice size balcony and large front windows. Comfortable bed and furniture. Kitchen has everything needed. Steps from the center of downtown.

The location was directly on the beach which was perfect. Located near everything which was another pro. I’d definitely book again.

The place was very cozy with lots of walkable options. Easy to drive downtown or get to the beach. We enjoyed our stay very much!

we have visited our daughter at ccu often, and this condo was really nice. the view of the river was very nice from the balcony and especially loved seeing the pirate ship go by. the kitchen had everything you needed and loved the provided snacks and water. the place was decorated really cute and the hosts responded very quickly. would definitely recommend this rental.

This is one of the best Airbnbs I ever stayed in. Clean and comfortable with beautiful Ocean views and access to the water.

My teenage daughter and I stayed here over her Spring Break and it was perfect! The location is great! The gorgeous view of the USS North Carolina from the balcony at sunset is absolutely stunning!! The condo is in a safe, secure building and the parking pass for the garage that is only a block away was wonderful to have. The hosts gave very detailed instructions and were very responsive during our stay. I highly recommended staying here next time you are in Wilmington!
