Tranquil Oceanfront Retreat on the beach
We had a great time. The place and surroundings are beautiful. We will be back

Oceanfront Condo - *The Pearl*
Had a great weekend at Tammyâs , her place was beautiful. Enjoyed the community indoor pool since the beach water was to cold for the kids. We will be back. âșïž

Take a Break at Shore Break!
Great place to stay and a great location!

Totally Beaching - Unit #2
This was a great experience from the first attempt to book at the last minute. Ervisa was quick to respond so we could relax and know we had a place to stay that night. We had stayed at several places during our vacation and this was by far the nicest and SUPER clean. They were again very accommodating when we wanted to add on a night. I only wish we had more time to actually hang out and enjoy the place.

Beachfront Apartment for Four
We booked Mollys place for a last minute family weekend and we were very impressed with the location and home! Would absolutely do it again đ©·

Quiet, Scenic Little River
Such a lovely, clean and beautiful home in a safe and upscale neighborhood. We loved the fact that there were several restaurants and bars that were walkable and delicious!

Vista North (OCEAN+MARSH+POOL)
Our stay at cobyâs place was very enjoyable and a nice getaway for a couple days. Lots of amenities, the bikes were run to ride to the boardwalk. Our favorite spots were the balconyâs, very peaceful! We would definitely return!

Creek View of marsh and sky
Upon arrival, drove down one of the most enchanting driveways I've seen in years. I was looking for peace and quiet, and found it. Lovers of flora and fauna will delight in this spot. Water birds abound, so bring your binoculars please. Although in the city of Wilmington, the home feels more like a stay at a barrier island, ripe with very old oaks. Simply lovely and outstanding AC system and a very comfortable bed. Only two things would make this cottage even more perfect, a full length sofa and a second television in the bedroom. But...it is still wonderful.

Cape Fear Landing 1
Stayed in this AirBNB for my wedding weekend last week and canât say enough wonderful things about it! The views were just absolutely breathtaking and being able to see the sunrise from the comfort of our room each morning was so priceless. Our wedding day photographer kept raving about how much of a dream the BNB was to shoot for behind the scenes footage throughout the wedding morning - truly the views are unmatched! The BNB had everything we needed including shower products, plenty of towels, extra blankets, and kitchen supplies. Pam was so easy to communicate with and made our stay so seamless. You really just canât beat the location or the views, so donât hesitate when booking!

FREEDOM! 100 yds to the Beach with lake view too!
The house was in a perfect location, easy access to beach. Loved the open floor plan and kitchen was beautiful and had everything we needed. Sherri was a great host and very accommodating. Just to be aware it has a significant amount of front steps to get in the unit so might not be great for elderly or anyone who has trouble going up and down stairs but we had no complaints

Waterfront Home with Gorgeous View of Canal.
We have been traveling to NMB for 14 years and have rented quite a few different houses in Cherry Grove, and this one ranks among the best we've had so far. Hosts are super friendly and welcoming, the house itself is fantastic, and if you like to fish from the dock out back, this was great. My husband was catching flounder, croakers, black drum, and even landed a stingray (all released). The view from the kitchen is just incredible, my very favorite of them all! Beds and linens are very comfortable, lots of comfy seating and TV's throughout. Hats off to the cleaning service because the place was absolutely immaculate when we arrived. Most importantly - it is obvious that this house is very much loved and enjoyed by its owners and we are so thankful that they shared it with us. Truly felt like a welcomed guest in someone's home rather than a customer. If they continue to rent it out, and if our schedules line up, we'd love to be back again. Thank you for a memorable vacation stay!

Pa's Place with Boat Dock - Oak Island, NC
We loved our stay at Beverlyâs place. We are a fishing and kayaking family, so the dock right on the sound was our ticket to adventure. We also loved the roomy Great Room with great views of the water. Everyone in the family said thay would go back to this place!

Waterfront House Near The Beach
LOVE LOVE LOVED this place. Slade was amazing to work with as well! He responded quickly! Had an amazing weekend!

Intracoastal Waterway Cottage Boat Dock Fishing
Great place to stay and relax. Picked a place on the intercostal water to crab but only caught a few. Maybe August was too late. I liked how she had a lot of towels and labeled where things went in the kitchen. Plenty of stuff such as paper towel, trash bags, dish washer pods, and laundry pods, etc. Iâve rented places before where we had to go buy trash bags and other stuff for the stay.

Beach House on Canal Waterfront with Dock
Great place to kick back and relax. Will definitely visit again.

A Wave from it All
A Wave From It All was a perfect vacation. The views and house are pristine, peaceful, and clean. The accommodations perfectly housed 8 of us. The screened in Carolina Room offered plenty of seating and beautiful views. The beds and linens were super comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked with pots, pans and spices for cooking and beautiful dinnerware for entertaining. We loved the decorâŠit was kind of unique romantic-gothic-coastal-Victorian (I know a mouthful but if you see it you get it). It looked as though the owners had made it a hobby to collect beautiful original pieces of art. The house has a dock that we utilized for fishing, crabbing, floating, and kayaking. Under the house there are two kayaks, a paddle board, floats, chairs, skim boards and boogie boards. You can walk, bike, or golf cart anywhere. The hosts were by far the kindest and most thoughtful we have ever experienced. They offered excellent restaurant recommendations. 10/10 recommend!!! The island is beautiful.

Salt Life Half a block from the Beach
This place was flawless. The host was everything you could ever want or need. I will be returning.

OCEANFRONT & ON the BOARDWALK! Unbelievable VIEWS
We loved everything about this place. It was just like the pictures and description in the listing. The condo was immaculate and set up very well. The views and closeness of the beach are amazing. Zach, Meghan and Amanda were great in every way. Communication and response time was excellent and they made our stay stress and worry free. We couldnât be more satisfied and we will definitely be back.

Beach vacation condo at Ft Fisher! Riggings
Besides his condo being on the ocean front, with a partial view to the ocean from the living room, kitchen and outside porch, being squeaky clean and nicely decorated, Chad deserves the highest remark for being an outstanding host. He called us, while we were on our way, to let us know that the condo was ready to check-in half an hour before the check-in time and arranged an ironing board and iron we needed to iron our clothes for attending a wedding. I wish I could give him more than five star rating as a host. My impression about the condo as well as the host aligns with all the reviewers who rated as being five star facility at Kure Beach.

Freshly painted 2bed/2bath, pool and ocean views!
We loved Markâs apartment with both views for sunrise and sunset. We had everything we needed from the beginning and Mark was easy to reach throughout the stay. This spot will stay in our top choices to rent. Thank You for providing a great place to vacation.

OCEANFRONT PARADISE WITH SPECTACULAR OCEAN VIEWS
My husband and I just wanted to get away and relax, and it was also his birthday. We were blown away by the view, the sunrises were amazing! It was perfect for just the two of us! We walked to the boardwalk which was 1.7 miles, had lunch and walked down the beach back, but if you just want to hang out on the beach itâs a simple walk and you are there. The best part is the sound of the waves. There is nothing better than going to sleep to the sound of the waves. We spent our last night on the patio playing Yahtzee, (which was there in addition to other games) while we listened to the waves. We had so much fun playing, I hope we didnât wake the neighbors! It was a very peaceful, relaxing trip.

Spectacular * Oceanfront Condo - Once Upon A Tide
Great location. Clean place.

CAROLINA VIEWS (OCEAN + MARSH)
Amazing place with beautiful views of the ocean and the marsh! Great to take a quick trip to the beach or head downtown for the nightlife!

Light-filled/Beach-Ocean views/Top floor condo
This was a great place to stay! I looked up many places on CB and this was definitely the best. The view is amazing and it is right beside the drive able beach for 4WD vehicles. The Airbnb was spotless and we canât thank Chris enough for being a great host!
