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

Waterfront Studio Apartment
Let me start by saying the home is located in the heart of Jacksonville NC. The view is truly amazing! I felt safe, relax and at home. The home is equipped with everything that I needed. Melinda is a gem, she reached out with me a few times during my stay to make sure that I’m ok and have everything that I needed and also informed me the day she spotted dolphins were passing by. Love this place. Thank you Melinda for sharing your beautiful place.

Stunning Sunsets, Walkable Condo, Covered Parking
Great place and right in the heart of everything. We wish we planned more time, the place had beautiful sunsets.

Catching Sunsets on the Cape Fear River w/ Parking
This place is in the perfect location! It was so close to downtown which was perfect! We had a beautiful sunset view as well! You have to get coffee from the drift!

New! Oceanfront 2bd/2ba - Penthouse View!
We were very impressed with the condo! Clean and updated! Beach was steps away! We really liked decor and homey feel of everything! Felt more like walking into your home than anything! Highly recommend! Lauren is extremely fast to respond and always had the best and most helpful answers! Do not hesitate! You must go!!!!

Riverfront sunset balcony + free covered parking
Audrey gave perfect instructions regarding how to find the unit, and getting in was extremely easy. We loved the peace and quiet around us and the walkability to several great restaurants. It was the perfect getaway for the two of us for a couple of days. The space had everything that we needed and was very comfortable and very clean.

Close Enough WB
Great place to stay. Loved the location and reasonably priced!

Downtown Riverfront 2 BR, deck, parking included
We travel to Wilmington a few times a year to see my daughter in college. This was by far the nicest airbnb we have stayed in. Yes it can be loud at night but you are right in the middle of everything. Shopping, restaurants, bars, river walk. We had a teenager with us so we were able to walk right downstairs to go to a few bars but not be too far away from her. The balcony back deck is great too. She felt like she was at the club on Friday and Saturday nights. The sound machine in the bedroom was great to override the noise when it was time for bed. Kathleen was so friendly and helpful and communicated throughout our stay. She was even there when we arrived to make sure we knew where to park. The unit came with two parking spots which was great when my older daughter came into downtown to visit. We would love to stay at this spot again!
Waterfront house rentals

Waterfront Home w/ Dock, Kayaks, Firepit, Gameroom
It was a beautiful house with lots to do around the area. The hosts provided lots of activities and amenities for the beach and even just hanging around the house. She was super quick to respond and very clear with instructions and we would definitely come back to this house again!

Beautiful waterfront home with private ramp/lifts
We always enjoy staying on this area. The view from the house was spectacular! We would definitely recommend staying here.

Little House On The Beach
This little house was the perfect beach stay. The wrap around deck with steps that lead to the sand, private beach access, and big window views of the ocean were amazing. I will emphasize that it is exactly as advertised, “little house on the beach” with one shared bathroom, 2 small bedrooms, and a living room/kitchen this is a perfect spot for a couple, small family, or just a few adults. If you’re trying to save and fit more the beds will accommodate just want to caution it will be cramped! The house was spotless and stocked with everything we needed.

The Regency
Beautiful houseboat exactly like in the pictures. Being the end unit, it has the best view of the river and Battleship North Carolina. It also has better privacy and access convenience to the community picnic area. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Everything was perfect!

The Riverbend @ Old River Acres
Beautiful home, spotlessly clean in beautiful surroundings. Kitchen was well stocked and it was fun to use the provided kayaks!

2 Good 2 Be True golf cart paddle board kayaks
The house was clean and spacious and the views were calming. The living room was really a place for gathering friends and watching the final four on the lovely sectional couch and giant loveseat chair. We ate our dinner around the dining table with plenty of room. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of room in each bedroom for our belongings. We walked to the beach and took the golf cart to the beach as well. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. The only downside was there was not enough seats on the outside decks where we spent most of our time. There were only two chairs and a love seat. We would stay again!

Waterfront Cottage with Panoramic Waterway Views
We had unforeseen circumstances that required us to book a new stay last minute late at night on a Friday. The host was responsive immediately and accommodated us. The house was clean and beautiful. It was a short drive to the beach. It was a great space to relax at whole unwinding from from the sand and sun. They provided great recommendations and we would definitely stay there again. Thanks for the great stay.

Gorgeous Waterfront Home: 3 Master En Suites!
Tyler was such a great host and very responsive. We felt right at home. Tyler provided everything we needed. I left a personal belonging and Tyler allowed me to come back and get it. Beautiful home and we will definitely be staying here again.

Cozy Downtown Condo with River Views
Staycation weekend. We’re able to explore Wilmington without a car. Well equipped kitchen. Quiet, peaceful and well stocked with lots to do within walking distance. Loved it! Thank you Tara!

Top Floor- Ocean View +Beach w/Pool, and Tennis
We were so excited to find Suzanne’s place last minute. The place was beautiful. It was extremely well taken care of. The balcony was an extra room! It was beautifully decorated and very comfortable outdoor furniture. I loved all the plants-indoor and outdoor. It felt so warm and inviting. The whole condo looked exactly like the photos. This place was top tier in all aspects. I would recommend to anyone. We enjoyed our stay so much. When we are in this area we would love to stay here again.

Beautiful Cape Fear Riverfront Condo Wilmington NC
The apartment is on the second floor with a beautiful view overlooking the boardwalk and Cape Fear River. Nice size balcony and large front windows. Comfortable bed and furniture. Kitchen has everything needed. Steps from the center of downtown.

Getaway @ The Waterway Wrightsville Beach
The place was very cozy with lots of walkable options. Easy to drive downtown or get to the beach. We enjoyed our stay very much!

River FRONT | SuperHost | Free Parking!
Everything regarding our expectations was met. We found lots to see and do in the area. Great seafood and drinks in the immediate area... we love Wilmington NC. Can't wait to return! Jim Miller

Shell of a Vibe Beach Condo - Oceanfront and Chill
This location has direct access to the pools and the beach - amazing! It is also right next to lobby and the restaurant. Very easy to get inside. This part of Wrightsville Beach is secluded - which we loved. The unit was very well appointed- perfect size for 2-3 people. They have beach chairs and boogie boards to borrow. Would stay again.

Panoramic River view Downtown Condo w/Balcony
My teenage daughter and I stayed here over her Spring Break and it was perfect! The location is great! The gorgeous view of the USS North Carolina from the balcony at sunset is absolutely stunning!! The condo is in a safe, secure building and the parking pass for the garage that is only a block away was wonderful to have. The hosts gave very detailed instructions and were very responsive during our stay. I highly recommended staying here next time you are in Wilmington!

DT~ Free parking~ Beach 20min~ Sunset river views
We loved our stay! It was the perfect getaway with my husband and our 10 month old. Easy check in. The elevator was perfect for our stroller and easy to bring our bags inside. The balcony views were amazing. Walking distance to everything downtown! The hosts were super responsive and helpful! We will definitely be back and recommend staying here to all!
