The Surf Hangout

DylanRating, 5 stars1 day ago
Had a great stay at the surf hangout! House was immaculate and had everything we needed. Plenty of towels and cleaning items were provided. Only slight downside was it was a little smaller than it appeared on pictures, but still big enough for our family of four and two pups

Howells Point water view, pier

KyleRating, 5 stars12 months ago
This house had everything we needed to enjoy our annual fishing trip in sunset harbor. We love the neighbor hood. Everyone we enconutered was very friendly. The house is very close to the boat ramp and a gas station so we did not have to waste any time and could maximize our fishing experience. The house was very clean and had all of the kitchen hardware needed to cook and make our stay very comfortable and stress free. The house has a fish cleaning station in the back which was a great for our needs. We would love to come back and stay again. The host were very responsive and clear with check in and check out instructions. :)

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed Dune Daddy! Everything about it was wonderful and was done in such a thoughtful manner. The kitchen was perfectly stocked and we loved the dishes! Very cute and minimalistic. Combined with a breathtaking view it was perfect. A great big thank you to our wonderful hosts for a much needed respite.

RobertRating, 5 stars8 months ago
We were impressed how comfortable her place was for us. We were moving from New Jersey to Leland and had a gap between closings and needed a comfortable place for an 8 night stay and it was absolutely perfect. Its a beautiful comfortable home and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Extremely happy with our choice of accomodations. Highly recommend. Beautiful neighborhood and pool area too. Just lovely.

We had a fantastic stay at Ryan’s Airbnb! The location was perfect, just a short walk to a beautiful park, 1 mile to the beach, and plenty of great restaurants.

Newly renovated and furnished Palm Paradise BHI

AshleyRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Melanie was an amazing host and her home was exquisite! It was well furnished and centrally located on the island. If you're looking for a relaxing vacation then I highly recommend this property. We loved sitting on the porch and even enjoyed the overlook of the river that was steps away. We will definitely be back.

Privacy fence/pinpon table/10mins drive to beach

IdaliaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Beautiful modern house, good size for my family of 5 members. Really nice neighborhood, new, clean and peaceful. The house is equipped with all necessary amenities. I can still call it the perfect house, even tho two things bothered me, I was not able to cook home made flour tortillas for my son's (one flew from Ohio the other is in active duty in NC, we are from Texas) For some reason the stove didn't heat up high enough to cook em. Second, I have a small Shih Tzu ,he fit thru the back bar fenced, thank God I found him. Not the hostess fault, it is fenced, but not small dog approve.

The Blue Haven Boat parking-minutes to beach

AudryRating, 5 stars1 day ago
This is my second time here. We had an amazing stay. I came here earlier this year to see family and decided to rebook for a longer stay with a few girlfriends. I also was very pleasantly surprised to see we can now bring our pups. The area was perfect. We came during ocean fest and loved how close we were. We drove the beach just 1.5 miles away from the peer however you could walk or bike easily. I've done a lot of rentals and this house is immaculate. There was a lot of other nice touches like shampoo, Beach towels, and even little coolers for the beach. Everything is labels and the quality of thing are nice. It was a great area to walk my dogs. Very quiet. Loved the yard which is hard to find here. Located next to a big park and minutes from restaurants and shops. The house again was very clean, warm and inviting. Terry was easy to talk to and helped us with any questions. And the price was great .

Cozy Cottage Nook by Beach, Boardwalk & Lake

SarahRating, 5 stars8 months ago
My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary, we could not have been happier with our stay! We couldn’t have asked for better host, and their recommendations were incredible (we hit up every spot on their list). I would more than likely choose to stay here in the future if we find ourselves back in the area!

Charming 1937 Cottage by Beach, Boardwalk & Lake!

NikiyaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This place is a gem 💎 The location was amazing - 2 blocks and you are right on the beach. The home itself was wonderfully decorated and lovely. We had all the basic amenities and the beds slept well. My pups loved the walks to the lake, around the neighborhood, and to the beach. The home was just far enough away to be peaceful but close enough to hear the beach at night. You can walk to bars, restaurants and shops in just a few minutes. Super convenient! It was an amazing few days of relaxing at the beach with my BFF. To add sugar to ice-cream, Michael and Jesslyn were simply amazing and super responsive. 🥰 Couldn't ask for a better stay.

Endless Summer House: short walk to beach!

CrystalRating, 5 stars1 day ago
We stayed here with another couple for a wedding. Our friend has mobility issues so the few steps and walk in shower were very helpful. The house is even better than the photos. It was very clean and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. Very convenient to the Boardwalk and Britt’s Donuts! Would stay here again!

Cozy, Cul-de-sac Cottage near Greenfield Lake

AdamRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This house is in a perfect location for concerts at the Greenfield Lake Amphitheater - super close, maybe 5 min walk. But it’s in a spot that doesn’t get noise from the concert goers or even from the Main Street. The house has everything you need. It’s also about a 10 min drive to the Wilmington River walk which is a very cool area with good eats and shops. The beach is a bit further, maybe 30 minutes, but could be longer pending traffic. Highly recommend!

Walk to Beach | Firepit+Grill+Bikes | Sunset View

HeatherRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I can’t stop raving about our incredible stay at this Airbnb! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The place was spotlessly clean, with every detail thoughtfully curated for comfort and style. The views? Absolutely breathtaking—great views that made every morning coffee feel like a dream. The location was a breeze to access, making our adventures seamless. But the real gem? The local guide provided by the host! It was packed with insider tips on the best spots to eat, explore, and soak in the area’s charm. We felt like locals in no time! Would book again!
