Seaside Palace
Our family loved this house and location - plenty of room, easy walk to the beach, tennis courts out back, friendly neighbors, easy access to restaurants and stores. Jim was responded quickly when we asked for help with supplies. The spring pollen factor was high - so be ready! We washed the decks and chairs and that improved things. We will return!

Outdoor Shower & Hot Tub - Central to Everything!
This was a very clean, comfortable and attractive place to stay. The location was very convenient to all the wonderful things Wilmington has to offer. The owners were very helpful with check in and provided a lovely place.

Summer Lovin - Kure Beach oceanfront w/ hot tub
I absolutely adore this cute little beach house. It was a perfect best friend get away. I felt like I was staging in a beach cottage straight off hgtv. My only suggestion is a full length mirror for the females! Definitely would stay here again.

Hidden gem on 4 acres w/hot tub
We so enjoyed our stay in this quiet and peaceful home! It was the perfect get away and very kid friendly! The backyard is fenced and the whole place is clean and nicely decorated! About 15 minutes to the beach and 25 minutes to downtown, overall a wonderful stay! 5/5

3rd Perfect Alignment
Beautiful, clean and comfortable home. Jim was a great host. Tons of room and a good location. The pond next door was cool.

"Seadar" Cottage - A Mid-Century Beach Cutie!
Went for the weekend, great location, walking distance to the beach and boardwalk. The beds where very comfy, they had fans we could use for each bedroom! Space was clean and looked like the photos. Would definitely recommend

Ocean Isle Beach, NC Cotton Patch Cottage
we stayed for 5 nights, and it felt like home. super nice, super cozy. host & co host are very sweet & right there if you need them! so many different activities close by or even just 30 minutes out!

Cheerful 2-Bedroom Cottage W/ Beautiful Yard
The perfect stay - AGAIN! ** This is our second time staying at this airbnb and both times it has been wonderful! The home is immaculate and instantly comfortable and cozy. The homeowner's clearly have a great sense of humor in their instructions and notes and it always brings some cheerfulness to the stay. :) Perfectly located with super easy access to Wrightsville, DT, mid-town, out of town, basically everywhere! The fenced in yard is perfect for our pup and the covered patio is always a favorite to just relax and enjoy one our favorites from Wilmington Brewing. This will always be the first place I check for availability when back visiting in town and I would absolutely recommend it to others!

Mermaid Tales
Mickell was a wonderful host! I booked super last minute with kiddo and service dog in tow. She accommodated us with no trouble! Place was wonderful, beautiful and quiet area, easy access for myself and kiddo, fenced yard, and lots of towels and such ready for us! Absolutely recommend for a great beach stay!!

Pierside Cottage A| 1 Block to Beach, Bars, Dining
This is cute cottage only a 3 min walk to the ocean. There was also restaurants and a store you could walk to. Also a very nice fishing pier. We drove to fort fisher which was really neat. Rode the fairy to Southport. Drove to Carolina beach for the day. There was lots to do.

Wilshire Coastal Cottage - Dog Friendly
Great location - near UNCW, Wrightsville Beach and downtown Wilmington. Very clean, great fully fenced yard, flexible with check in, and all beds are very comfortable! Definitely recommend!

One Beach’in Cottage, walk to the beach!
My husband and I just returned from our second stay at One Beachin' Cottage for a long Memorial Day weekend. The cottage is comfy & we appreciate that it's pet friendly. Although the street where the Cottage is quiet and fairly traffic-free, it's walkable to the beach, restaurants, and the boardwalk. We appreciated how close it is to the Tiki Bar, The Spot, and the Veggie Wagon. We will definitely be back!

Charming beach cottage blocks from the beach!
My wife and I as well as our 2 kids and our pittie Mama loved our stay. it's the perfect spot for those with a furry family member. Right at the lake and the beach. We plan to save Lisa's place for possible future trips. Be sure to check out the dog photo book of all of the four legged guests when you stay. ❤️

Couples Retreat-Bungalow Monthly*
Loved this little getaway. Off the main beach and very little traffic. The place screams “relax”. Loved the outside shower for getting rid of the sand. Most beautiful wind chimes. Short trip to beach and to some excellent restaurants.

Coastalsoul-Time to Breathe in the Salty Air!
If you are looking for a very clean, well kept, fully stocked and cozy home, then this is the place that you need to book. Jenn is a wonderful host and her communication is very timely. There was a storm the week of our stay that ended up putting us one day behind due to flooding. Jenn was very accommodating and quickly refunded one night for us. She could not get to the house to clean due to flooding but asked a friend to assist. We were able to get to the house the very next day and start our vacation. The house is stocked with extra beach chairs, bikes, an outdoor grill, toiletries and any kitchen item that you may need. Jenn was thoughtful enough to have bottled water in the fridge incase you had a long trip. There is plenty of comfortable outdoor seating on the patio. Under the house she has swings where you can enjoy the beach weather and beautiful views of the marsh. Our family has already planned on coming back again next year. Thank you so much for your hospitality Jenn.

The Lake Cottage
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.

Old Ferry Cottage
This cottage was amazing. A little slice of heaven tucked away in a private space but still close to all of the essentials! Gretchen made sure that the stay went well and was super helpful. Will definitely stay here again if I am back in the area!

115 Cozy Cottage
I decided last minute to do a solo trip to oak island for the weekend and I don’t think I could’ve picked a better place! The location was perfect, it was conveniently located to restaurants and a nice Publix for groceries. The walk to the beach was very manageable and actually enjoyable since you go over a beautiful scenic walkway. The cottage itself was cozy and quiet, the screened in porch was perfect for reading. Plus the hosts were so friendly and helpful! I am already looking at my calendar to see when I can squeeze in another stay this summer!

*Million Dollar View/Hot Tub/Fire-pit/Gas Grill*
If you are looking for a special place to get away from it all and enjoy a peaceful setting look no further than What “A” View. It was in a private and quiet area. Plenty of great restaurants with a quick car ride. The house itself was perfect for a few nights away. Cozy, warm and inviting.

Mermaid Beach Cottage, Peaceful Pet Friendly $75
Wonderful experience! Super cute little beach cottage, very close to beach and shops. Loved that it was dog friendly and fenced yard. Great communication from host as well!

The Flying Sea Cow
This was our second time staying at the Flying sea cow. This is been our favorite place to stay when visiting Carolina Beach. We love being able to ride the beach cruiser bikes, and how close it is to the beach, boardwalk and restaurants. Jen and Eric’s place is super cute and cozy. Her place has a lot of character and charm.
