Studio on Market & Front Downtown ILM
Excellent place to stay if you want to be in the heart of downtown. We were there for the Azalea festival and everything was right out our front door. Summer was extremely responsive. With the festival, we had to park elsewhere but she was right on it and got us in the garage next door. I can’t say enough about how helpful she was! It was a little noisy, but windows are thick and she had a fan. We slept great but if are a very light sleeper it may be a small problem (she does have ear plugs). Highly recommend and we will stay again in the future.

The Sunsetter by WB Abodes
This place is truly unique and looks just like the pictures! Loved every second of it and would stay again!

The Birdhouse Studio Apt - Downtown Wilmington
This was our 2nd time at The Birdhouse and we still hope it's not our last! This is our go-to spot for Wilmington. The place is spotless and perfect for any type of getaway.

Deep Blue - HUGE Apt in Central Historic Downtown
Staying at Chris's apartment was perfect. The place was spacious and clean. I would stay there again when visiting Wilmington.

Lovely 2 bedroom unit, parking & 1/2M from beach!
We had a short but sweet stay! The location is pretty unbeatable if you’re not going to be waterfront. Easy walk across the bridge to public accesses and restaurants and coffee! The backyard was fantastic for our toddler to run around freely and safely. The hosts were the best kind of people. They were friendly, accommodating and extremely helpful. I would definitely stay here again! I’m very familiar with the area and the house felt like a secluded getaway from the tourists and traffic on the island. Big bonus!

The Studio at Front & Chestnut
We enjoyed our stay. It was in a great location downtown and we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. There are two parking garages very close by if you can't park on the street in front of the unit. The place was comfy and had everything we needed. My only complaint was the city noise on Friday and Saturday night seemed very loud, but I'm a light sleeper so it may not bother others.

The Wright Life at Sandpeddler
Place was fantastic the exact kind of place we were looking to stay by the beach!

Wilmywood Stay on Front Street
Absolutely amazing stay! From the moment I arrived, I felt right at home. The space was spotless, cozy, and had such a great vibe, it really set the tone for an unforgettable trip. The location is unbeatable, everything is just steps away, from cute cafes and shops to great restaurants and nightlife. I especially loved sitting by the window on the weekend, just watching the nightlife outside, so lively and full of energy, it felt like being part of the city’s heartbeat without even leaving the apartment. The neighbors were incredibly friendly too, which added such a warm, welcoming feel to the whole experience. Honestly, I couldn’t have asked for more. If you’re thinking about booking, just do it. You’ll love it here as much as I did!

Walk to UNCW, 10 min to Downtown, 10 min to Beach
Ms Sandy was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish! She made us feel quite at home and went above and beyond during our stay. Her place is quiet and the surroundings are very peaceful. We enjoyed our stay and can't wait to book with Sandy again in the future.

Ola Verde
We had a lovely stay at Ola Verde and we will definitely be back! Highlights: 10 minute walk to the beach, beautiful views, restaurants within walking/biking distance, and the on site paddle board shop was such a cool amenity with the nicest people. Special thank you to the incredible staff at Wrightsville SUP that helped us when our dog managed to get a cactus burr stuck to the roof of his mouth!

PalmTreeHut
If you're looking for a little oasis to get away, this is a great spot! The photos don't do all the cool details of the place justice! Such a cozy place to stay to enjoy a long weekend getaway in Wilmington! Thank you for your hospitality!

Water Street Hideaway
This place is PERFECT! My husband & I stayed for a week & Kristin’s place had literally everything we could’ve needed! It was spotless, roomy, had extra amenities, & the location could NOT be beat. In the words of my husband, it’s “cute, cozy, & convenient!” The check-in & check-out instructions were very clear & parking was very easy (and not far at all). We only got in our cars to leave downtown. Her place made our trip AMAZING!

The Sandbox - 1 minute walk to beach!
Great location so close to the beach! Very responsive communications. The place was very clean and we enjoyed our stay.

Wrightsville Beach Bungalow Steps From The Beach
Can’t beat the location! Fantastic accommodating hosts. Definitely a good amount of footstep noise from upstairs if you’re a light sleeper it might affect you but overall excellent space and excellent hosts.

Brooklyn Arts Condo
I totally enjoyed my stay there. Unfortunately I wasn’t there for pleasure and relaxation trip. It was last min and Brandon was a lot of help. Quick response and even called me to make sure I had no problems with getting in. I will use him again but hopefully I get to stay longer and really enjoy it. It was a beautiful place. Thank you for helping us Brandon.

Downtown Riverfront 2 BR large deck free parking
Kathleen was a fantastic host. She gave us super thorough instructions for check-in and was quick to respond. My parents and I were there for Azaela Festival and we were right there in the thick of it. Everything was walkable! It is a louder part of downtown, but Kathleen provided everything we needed to sleep soundly. This property is also beautiful. Even better than the pictures.

3BR, 2BA Ocean Front Top Floor Condo
My family of 5 had an absolutely wonderful stay! The views are better than the pictures!! We arrived at night, I would recommend arriving during day to get the initial feel of the breathtaking views of the ocean that instantly makes you feel relaxed and at home. When we woke up (just a few hrs after getting in) the sunrise from the balcony was truly magical. The condo itself was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed minus food of course 🤭—from a well-equipped kitchen to cozy bedding. Every detail was clearly considered with comfort in mind. We also loved having access to both indoor and outdoor pools, which gave the whole family something to enjoy no matter the weather. The location couldn’t be better—steps from the beach and close to local dining and attractions, yet peaceful and quiet at night. I look forward to visiting again as a family and or just a romantic getaway. I wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful condo.

Oceanfront Condo - *The Pearl*
The place was perfect for our family including kids! We loved hearing waves come in while falling asleep. The place was spotless, tasteful decor and the kitchen had everything you needed and more. Will definitely stay again!

Surf Vibes! - Oceanfront condo w/ heated pool
Great relaxing retreat!! The oceanfront porch was priceless. We spent so much time out there. The owners were so responsive and flexible. We had two 18 year olds who had fun playing basketball, hanging out on the beach and touring around. We hope to go back soon.

Steps to the ocean, indoor & outdoor pool. A VIBE!
What a wonderful location! Rita was a great host and very responsive. Honestly the condo was fantastic. The kitchen was spotless, the living room was roomy and comfy, the bathrooms were super clean and the bedrooms were both very comfortable. We were able to walk to the beach in 2 minutes and the beach location was great. The kids loved the indoor pool as well. We only live about 10 minutes away and we will be returning for sure!

The Casita Serenely Welcomes Guests All Year Round
Lisa’s Casita was our favorite place we’ve ever stayed. We love Wilmington and having the perfect place to stay made it even more memorable. Lisa is a wonderful host and she thinks of everything you could possibly need. We loved making s’mores at the fire and sitting outside with our breakfast (that was so thoughtfully left for us so we wouldn’t have to rush out). The location was perfect for going out to explore the town and Riverwalk after feeling incredibly well rested in the cozy home. We can’t wait to return!

Beachfront Condo w/ Indoor/Outdoor Pool
A beautiful place, very relaxing and very clean. Would definitely stay here again. Beds were comfortable and the shower was nice and hot. There’s even a closet full of games and books. One thing that could be made clearer is where to find the swimming pool. We never did make it over there. It’s not obvious from where our condo was situated.

Queen Anne’s Retreat *Ocean View*
We were nicely surprised by how stocked with gadgets and spices the kitchen was as well as with a lot of necessities such as paper towel, trash bags, cleaning products… Gorgeous view

turtle time - Hot Tub, Short walk to the beach
Highly recommend! Esp if looking for pet friendly vacay rental! Home was very clean, and host were very thoughtful with extra dog bags, even an extra sheet to throw on the furniture or bed incase the dog jumped up to keep clean! Was just a short walk to the beach which I loved and had everything you needed from restaurants, to putt putt to shopping literally within a minutes drive. The host was available and very quick to respond with instructions and check out info. Even offered to bring us Easter dinner she had cooked if we wanted when I confirmed we made it and received instructions.❤️ Will def be back. Very cozy stay with just what u need!
