Tranquil Oceanfront Retreat on the beach
Perfect, old-school beach getaway! We loved parking ourselves on the “lifeguard stand built for two” and just watching: the waves, the wildlife, the surfers, the sky…soooo relaxing and just what we needed to unwind for a few days. We loved the laid back vibe of the place and the hosts!

Ola Verde
The host was very responsive and the place was great all around. Views are amazing, parking is out front of the unit. This spot is one of the best for the price and worked well for three people for two nights. I will definitely stay here again when I am back in town.

Take a Break at Shore Break!
We spent a beautiful and relaxing week at Wendy & Jeff's Seascape. The place is EXACTLY like the photos, the view from the balcony is a dream!! Waking up to the ocean sounds every morning is something we will never forget. The apartment is very well-stocked with all the items you need to enjoy the beach, clean up afterward (lots of hot water and good shower pressure!) and cook a delicious meal (plenty of kitchen gadgets). Very easy to walk around the neighborhood, up to the pier for quick eats, or less than a mile to the little mini-mart. Parking is easy. Area is safe. The pool area across the street was clean and fun too! The hosts gave excellent, clear instructions for arrival/departure and even checked in on us via the app during our stay. Thank you so much, Wendy & Jeff!

Island hopping & fishing around Masonboro Island
My Boyfriend and I stayed here for a long weekend and really enjoyed our time. The dock is just a short walk away and the cottage is on a beautiful property. We enjoyed an afternoon on two of the tandem kayaks and had two friends join us. We paddled to nearby islands to fish and relax. I would 10/10 recommend this place and might be back soon myself!

Shell of a Vibe Beach Condo - Oceanfront and Chill
It was our 40th anniversary and we decided that we wanted to go to our favorite beach in North Carolina. We could see the ocean from this apartment and a very short walk to the beach. Enjoyed sleeping on the beds and having 2 bathrooms were fantastic. AC was great and water pressure in shower, was too. They had everything you needed and didnt lack on the supplies. It was a memorable vacation that we will never forget. Thanks Curtis

Greenfield Lake bungalow Whole house
Great stay! Place was very clean and extremely well stocked. Light switches can be a little confusing but thank goodness for her labels. Front porch sitting was excellent for watching people and looking for alligators in the lake. We were there for a concert at GLA and the house is an easy 10 minute walk.

Haven By The Lake
A wonderful place to stay in a great neighborhood. Kim was very accommodating with early check-in and brought extra beach towels for us during our stay.

Cottage at Greenfield Lake, Airy, Natural Light
The place and stay were fantastic. The kitchen had everything that we needed, which is what I was worried about. Would stay here again 100%!

Tranquil Carolina Golf Retreat,Beaches,Downtown II
This place was as described. The area was quiet. Not far from eating places nor shopping areas.

Riverfront Retreat w/ Gorgeous Views
What a great place!!! The view of the river was incredible from the living room, master and decks. Very nice neighborhood- we walked all around and it was safe and locals friendly. There are lots of games, books and DVD’s. Super cool place for family to hang out and be super comfortable and close to area attractions (with a car). Very well stocked with all your basics! Thanks for letting us stay!

River Road Retreat - Heated Private Pool, Pond, Fi
This beautifully landscaped secluded getaway is exactly what we needed. The large pond, small walking paths around the property and large screened in porch are a perfect way to detach from the day-to-day. When we stayed in May, the temperatures were cooler and the heated pool made it so much better to enjoy. The kids loved exploring the arcade machines upstairs as well. Highly recommend staying here if it remotely piques your interest!

Heart of the Action Studio in Downtown Wilmington!
Audrey’s stay was the perfect location to explore downtown Wilmington! Having the parking garage right across the street was ideal for our rental car as well. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Wilmington in the future!

Malibu @ The Cove Riverwalk Villas
Malibu unit was stunning! Beautiful view and lovely furnishings. Everything is new and clean. Atmosphere is light and airy. View from deck is great! Bit of a walk from parking garage but there was a complementary golf cart to take us and our luggage to the dock and carts to use from dock entrance to our door. Nice to be able to walk via Riverwalk to restaurants. We liked River 128. If you are headed out by car toward Carolina Beach, hit Fish Bites. Nothing to look at from the outside, but the food is fantastic! Friends who live nearby recommended it. Was so good, we went twice! Communication from owner was great. Had no issues, but got multiple communications to make sure all was good. Highly recommend!

Studio on Market & Front Downtown ILM
We really enjoyed our stay as we were looking for a place that was central to all of the activity and shopping, and boy did this fit the bill. Very clean and comfortable and our host Summer was incredibly responsive. We drove into the historic district, parked within 200 feet from the apartment with the pass provided, and did not have to drive again until we checked out to leave. This place is right in the sweet spot for everything going on there including all the dining and shopping.

Catching Sunsets on the Cape Fear River w/ Parking
Staying at this beautiful Airbnb overlooking the Cape Fear River was delightful! From the moment we booked, the communication was flawless—responsive, friendly, and the guidebook was incredibly helpful. Every question we may have had was answered. The host went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and prepared for our trip. What really sets this stay apart is the impeccable attention to detail. From the cozy, well-appointed decor to the thoughtful touches everything was clearly chosen with care and intention. You can tell the host genuinely wants guests to have the best possible experience. This Airbnb is the perfect balance of luxury, comfort, and convenience. We’re already planning our next visit.

Hello, Everything was wonderful at 106 N Water Street, the condo was clean, comfortable, a great view of the river, very nice accommodations as well. The hosts were great on returning my text messages before the trip and all during our stay. I would definitely recommend this home for any length of stay in Wilmington.

Coastal, riverview + walkable condo with parking!
Beautiful, cozy and so homey. I would stay here for months. It will be my go-to place to stay every visit to see my daughter who lives in the area. I loved the view, the walks on the Riverwalk and downtown. I worked from here and it was perfect.
