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!

Our stay was a very enjoyable experience, from all of the extra amenities that were available to us to enjoy (our young adult kiddos loved the bikes!!!), to the all over cleanliness of the house. The proximity between the beach and downtown was perfect for us and I loved the creative touches of the decor throughout.

Heart of Downtown Wilmington: The Cornerstone

JasonRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The place is very clean and as described. Amenities are good and supplies are orderly. Communication was clear and timely. Location is walkable to many things downtown and a great sandwich shop around the corner. Overall a very good experience. Only nitpick is that the front bedroom is not very private as it opens directly onto the living room. It wasn’t a problem for our group but FYI.

Our family enjoyed a relaxing stay at Dean’s Wilmington Staycation. Dean is an excellent communicator and was extremely responsive from the moment that we booked the reservation. The home is exactly as the photos and our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids) thoroughly enjoyed the home w/ added amenities such as record player, board games, and chairs for our beach trip. We would definitely recommend this rental for a work or leisure trip.

Queen St Retreat~2 King beds~Steps to Riverfront!

MelissaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We really enjoyed our time at Mary’s place. It’s tastefully decorated and well equipped. The design of the space has obviously been well thought out. One of the best AirBnB’s we’ve stayed in! The neighborhood is convenient to downtown Wilmington and the Riverwalk — a perfect location for exploring Wilmington and surrounding beaches. The historic neighborhood is definitely in transition, but we felt safe there, walking our dog and heading to the local park on foot.

Nun Better- Historic Downtown!

DaniRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Quite literally there is Nun Better place to stay in Wilmington if you are a couple who wants to bring their doggo along for a fun little getaway. Our stay was perfect! Monica was an amazing host and made us feel right at home with a lovely welcome basket, dog treats, and more. The neighborhood is lovely to stroll and being walking distance to amazing coffee shops and dinner is a huge perk. Anything you could want is at the house, including beach towels and chairs, as well as all the kitchen supplies (and Tupperware containers! Literally always wishing airbnbs had that). Loved that Phoebe had a large yard to play in while we sat on the porch. I’m already excited to go back, could not recommend it enough!!

This was an absolutely lovely stay. The property is immaculate and extremely charming. The kitchen is newly renovated and has everything you could need to make a nice meal. . The beds are beyond comfortable. Chad is an incredible host. We loved coming home to snacks and coffee. Wilmington is a lovey very walkable town with many restaurants and shops. We will be coming back soon as the purpose of this trip was to help our daughter prepare for the arrival of our first grandchild. We hope to be able to book Chad's place again.

I had a great, though brief, stay at this home. It was comfortable, well-supplied, in a fantastic neighborhood. Walkable to Riverwalk, friendly neighborhood, the letter carrier even stopped to give my dogs a treat. Great vibe. The house was really comfortable, and check-out was easy. I would love to return.

Bleu Haven | Historic DT Wilmington| Location+Vibe

CodyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This was a great place to stay. The host is responsive and accommodating. The place is clean and well laid out. The kitchen had the basics that we needed. The beds were comfortable and the linens were of very high quality. The place isn't super big but was plenty of room for us (family of 4) for a vacation. The location is great. It's walkable to downtown but in a quiet neighborhood. It definitely deserves the 5 star overall rating, and we might want to stay there again. Some minor cons if you're trying to decide between multiple really good listings: The driveway is tight. Honda CRV just barely fits. The back yard isn't as nice as the rest of the listing, it's just rocky and weedy. One of the neighbors is a jerk. We are a quiet and respectful family and we have never run afoul of a neighbor before. I don't have space to explain fully. He doesn't seem to be able to make any real trouble, just something to be aware of. Everyone else we saw was super friendly.
