Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Surf City

Beautiful property with direct access to the beach. Spotless interior with a well appointed kitchen and incredibly comfortable beds. We've stayed at dozens of Air BnBs and this one is fantastic! Communication with host was excellent. Highly recommend this property.

This is our second time at Elaine’s space and loved it just as much this time! Location is amazing and space is cozy and perfect!

We enjoyed our stay at Shore Bet and would stay there again. It is a nice house with a great view of the water and its own beach access, and the location is also walkable. It was nice to have two decks, because one is shaded. We found the house clean and comfortable. Overall it was a relaxing stay. Regarding the management company, I had to contact Lori, the property manager, about a couple of issues and she was responsive. Just a note to be aware that unlike other AirBnb's, the bed linens are in a tupperware container outside the home and you have to put the linens on the beds yourselves. You'll need to request "bed service" ahead of time if you want them to be made up for you, which we did not know. Also, the in-home elevator malfunctioned as we were checking out of the house. Lori was quick to respond to the situation, but now I am wary of in-home elevators. Overall, it was a nice house for our family and we would stay again.

My family all loved Charlie’s house! It was a great layout for adults chatting around the kitchen bar while kids had room to play. Kitchen was well equipped and furniture was comfortable. Having the linens in plastic wrap was a nice touch and felt very clean and safe. The beach was really nice in front of the house. Climbing over the dunes gave us a good workout, but also gave us privacy from beach walkers, etc. Hoping to rent here again!

We loved everything about the home and location. The pool table and river brought a lot of laughs and memories made. The hosts were helpful and very responsive. We had an amazing time and thankful for the opportunity to stay in this beautiful home.

We had an amazing time at Carolyn’s place!! The proximity to the beach can’t be beat🏖️☀️the house was great, lots of space and everwe could need to relax after a day at the beach! Can’t wait to come back

The townhome is very cozy and was the perfect place for me and my children to stay. Aurelie is very kind, informed me of local current events that were happening (blueberry picking), as well as checked in with me from time to time to make sure things were all good!!

Wilder’s place is a great place to stay! My Marine and I stayed there for a few days and needed a place that gave us quick base access. Wilder was very detailed with check in and checkout expectations and answered messages quickly. The place was very clean and looked exactly like the pictures. It was fully stocked with everything we needed, including a first aid kit, dishwasher pods, laundry detergent, paper towels, spices, etc. We enjoyed the many conveniences that came with the place and would absolutely stay there again!

Our stay was just the getaway we needed! Lary’s place was extremely clean and comfortable! the outdoor space and landscaping were spectacular, it felt like being at a resort. the neighborhood was quite and relaxing, however not walkable to town as there are not many side walks. definitely rent a bike or a golf cart!

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.

This Airbnb has so much charm and character! The kitchen was stocked with all the spices and condiments we needed, especially for cooking seafood. There are so many little activities included. For example; a sound system, card games, and outdoor equipment (chairs, skim board, shovel). Sam is a wonderful host, very attentive. One evening, a small situation came up and he responded to our message immediately. In fact, he showed up to help at 11 pm! We truly enjoyed our stay. Wrightsville is such a special place. I highly recommend staying here if you are ever in town!

This condo provided a great stay for my family in Carolina Beach. the neighborhood was quiet and had very close beach access. With just a short drive to the boardwalk it proved to be a great location. The condo was spacious and clean. The instructions provided by Jody were easy to follow.

We booked for a weekend trip to explore Wilmington and have a get away! Our trip was great as the airbnb was conveniently minutes to downtown, Ubers were easy to book. We plan on staying here yearly! It’s so nice to find great hosts who were very accommodating and responsive.

Outstanding location. Easy access to Topsail and Wilmington. Beautiful layout and will return. Everything you needed or possibly wanted was there. Extremely friendly.

An adorable beach bungalow perfect for a couple's getaway! Very clean and with all the amenities you could need for a trip to Oak Island. Short walk to the beach via public access point, and great restaurants and coffee shop - all within walking distance. Hot tub is a nice added feature! Owner very responsive to any question we might have. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

not a fan of stairs but was a beautiful rental with great view. not close to much but still convenient for price. would love to come back.

We stayed one week at the Jewel of the Waterway. The views were amazing. There are huge windows in the main living areas to enjoy views of the water. Lots of cozy places to sit outside both on and off of the porches. The pool was super fun for the kids! There are kayaks for use which was great but do not try to launch them at low tide! Swimming in the waterway isn’t possible, which is outlined in the home guide. Things to note - while there are 3 bathrooms, realistically there is 1 shower. On the main level one bathroom has a walk-in shower (this bathroom doesn’t have a door besides the bedroom door) and the other just has a large soaking tub. The bathroom in the basement does have a shower but it’s tiny and kind of dark and scary. We booked this home largely because of accessibility and the fact that it has less stairs than most waterfront homes in the area. You do have to access the home up a few steps and the pool down a half flight of stairs. The pool is viewable from the sunroom.

1000 characters can’t capture the immaculate & pristinely styled Bella Vita, which is perfectly located oceanfront with a private walkover/shower, & a short stroll from vibrant Carolina Beach Boardwalk (don’t miss nightly live music & a bag of Britt’s Donuts!) It is also near restaurants, groceries, & anything else you need for your time at the beach! If you like to cook, the beautiful kitchen is spacious & well appointed, & there are multiple areas for service & eating! From the huge main living area you will enjoy gorgeous ocean views & tons of natural light, with generous space & multiple gathering areas, which make it both cozy & wide open all at the same time! The vast master bedroom/bath is a showstopper, & all 3 bedrooms have comfy beds, ample storage, & private bathrooms, plus gorgeous views from 2 balconies, perfect for watching sunrises, a rainstorm, or summer fireworks at the Boardwalk. The pictures are gorgeous, yet they don’t do this seaside home justice! We WILL be back!

John and his co-hosts were amazing! Immediately upon arrival we were welcomed as family. They really went above and beyond in every aspect. The place was cleaned to perfection and there was so much to do! We were able to schedule an animal tour the same day, grill outside using their supplies and really relax as much as possible. Our room featured a private balcony and bathroom, but really the entire property should be highlighted. The hosts recommended beaches and restaurants for us to enjoy, and as we were checking out, John let us know that he was preparing breakfast for us as well! We were able to leave this amazing place with a full belly, homegrown fruits and veggies, eggs, and great memories. We will be back to visit for sure. Thanks again John B., John M, and Diana.

Words can’t express how much I enjoyed staying at John’s place. It was an amazing experience we will NEVER forget. It was by far my favorite bnb and I’ve stayed at a couple of Airbnbs. It’s close to the beach but it didn’t really matter because we wanted to spend all our time on his property. It was clean and there’s a ton of rooms in the villa! It is decorated so nice and the exotic animal farm he has is amazing! We stayed during the 4th of July and he had food waiting for us in their beautiful outside kitchen when we got back! You won’t want to leave the property. The pool was great and the rooms and bathrooms are so clean! I can’t wait to stay at their place again! I loved every second and they were all extremely responsive. They had fresh eggs and tomatoes that I brought home. Book your stay! You won’t regret it.

I decided last minute that I needed a getaway with some relaxation and an stress-free time. John’s place popped up to the top of the results list. I had never booked anything where you shared space but I decided to give it a try because of the good reviews and the fact that my husband’s name was John. I just felt like it was ok and safe. I’m glad I decided to try it. Both John’s and Diana were super sweet and so helpful.The house is beautiful.The rooms have top of the line bedding and beautiful decor. The kitchen was stocked with some food and John cooked several times for people. I’ve never had that at a place before so that was so helpful on saving some money with eating out. Plus they had garden tomatoes so I enjoyed like 10 tomato sandwiches.The animal tour was so cool. It was amazing to me to see how many animals , especially birds. It was really impressive; feeding the lemurs lollipops & holding the baby wallaby, Casper, was really cool.i highly recommend!! I will be back. Thanks

Honestly an amazing experience, even when you see the price you get the experience to match, in the best of ways. An amazing room with a fantastic shower and John was extremely friendly the entire time! There was a great welcome book with clear instructions. we had a great breakfast with farm fresh eggs provided by the host. The animals were beautiful and we loved the tour that was included.
