Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Pender County

Amazing stay if you have kids. Huge and clean backyard and beautiful property. Easy drive to local parks and the beach. Home was wonderful and had plenty of room. Overall an amazing place to stay and we plan to book again next year.

The house was amazing—beautifully decorated, cozy, and welcoming. Everything felt very comfortable and thoughtfully put together. The location was perfect—tucked in a quiet area but just a short drive to anything we wanted to do. The host was also incredibly responsive and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Would definitely stay again!

Being on the beach was awesome! We enjoyed sunrises from the hot tub, going right down our stairs to the sand, walks to the pier, evenings on the deck… It was the perfect setting for our little reunion! The house is clean and comfortable with everything you might need. Location is also super convenient to food & coffee & seafood market. The only surprises were that our space was attached to another house (neighbors were very quiet, respectful, and friendly) and that we had to make our own beds upon arrival and remove bedding before check out. Overall, Emily’s house made our time with people we love even more fun & easy! She was a communicative, helpful host and we appreciate her sharing her home!

It was a joy staying at Ross’s place! The home was very clean and welcoming. The kitchen was stocked with everything you’d need for a relaxing weekend getaway, making it easy to settle in and feel at home. Bathrooms were pristine and well stocked with fresh linens and essentials. The beds were incredibly comfortable—we all slept great! The neighborhood was peaceful and felt safe, and the location was convenient for exploring the area. Unfortunately, I had a family emergency that interrupted our trip, but Ross and Abigail were super understanding and accommodating throughout the entire situation. Their kindness and prompt communication made a difficult moment feel a little easier. I highly recommend this place—not just for the comfort and cleanliness, but for the genuinely thoughtful and responsive hosts. I’d absolutely stay again!

Great "Little House". very peaceful, very clean and you can tell it was created with love! had a wonderful stay

We really enjoyed staying here. The pool was great. The house is within minutes from several restaurants and just a 15 minute drive to the beach. The house is as described and shown in photos. Gennaro was very responsive and quick to answer any questions. Thanks for having us!

Matt was an incredible host. He was flexible, responded quickly and was very helpful. The space was so trendy, private, and comfortable. As frequent Wilmington visitors, this will be our new vacation spot time and time again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This house is a perfect getaway from city life. Close to the beach and close to the sound. Very quiet neighborhood as well. The house has what you need for basics. Really enjoyed our stay!

My husband & I had such a lovely stay here for the weekend! The apartment was spotless, cozy, and the perfect fit for us. We especially appreciated how pet-friendly it was—our dog felt right at home! The location was great, with easy access to the beach and local restaurants, just a short drive away (about 15–20 minutes). Megan, the host, was wonderful—she checked in with us to make sure everything was going smoothly, which we really appreciated. Everything was exactly as described, and the check-in process was simple and stress-free. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-located escape!

Kelly is a fantastic host answering all questions we had and had the best informative guide I’ve ever seen through Airbnb renting, the location was also great! The beach is right at the Airbnb! The pool was nice, it did have a lot of trash in the bottom and unfortunately we did have a very loud neighbor rooming right above us. The room itself was very clean, and just like the pictures, very easy to walk to restaurants and activities! I highly recommend!

My boyfriend and I loved staying at Lauren’s place! When we arrived check-in was simple with a code and check-out instructions were clear as well. Everything was very clean and looked just like the photos. The area was great because we were less than 8 minutes from pretty much everything you can think of. Thank you Lauren!

We enjoyed a wonderful extended stay. Our family loved the space, the layout, and all the room to put things - lots of closets and dressers. The laundry machines were also very helpful. The kitchen has everything you need plus some. The balcony is a peaceful place to sit and relax. The location is ideal for Kiwanis Park, shops, and getting to the beach. The host was also very responsive and helpful. We would highly recommend this place!

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

Great location, plenty of space for my family and I. Convenient ground level spot, easy for less mobile or handicapped folks. One thing I like to see in an AirBNB is more than one hand towel for kitchen use. The rest of the unit was very accommodating!

My daughter and I have the ABSOLUTE best time!! The Airbnb was soooo beautiful, clean and the natural light from the windows was so tranquil! The grounds where the Airbnb was stunning with the outdoor lighting and loved being able to look at the horses!! We have a beautiful time and cannot thank Jean enough for her wonderful suggestions and for being so warm!

The condo was spacious and so close to the beach! The open concept made it feel very comfortable right away. We definitely made good use of the big kitchen. Best part was the proximity to the beach. A quick, easy 3 minute walk and you were right at the public beach access. Would book again !

Very cozy little condo with a nice porch for relaxing. Very clean place and the host was very responsive to any questions we had. Will be returning to this spot next year!

We loved our stay at Daniel’s condo. The location was perfect, couple steps away from the beach and pool access. The condo itself was spacious for our family of 5 with renovated kitchen and bathrooms. Daniel was a great host that was always responsive and even came and brought us extra towels when we needed them which we greatly appreciated. Loved our stay here and would definitely book again when we are back in Surf City!

Beautiful home! Oryon was responsive and super kind. You can see the beach from your porch and the neighbors were sweet too!

The condo was the perfect vacation spot for a couple and our 3 kids. Love the upstairs space & decor. Pool and beach were walking distance. The beach was clean. The area was not overly crowded. Private entrance, safe. Would recommend for a family! Chris was also very responsive & helpful. Thanks for a great family vacation!

We loved our stay at Heather's place! Everything was just as described and as shown in the pictures. The kitchen had everything we needed, the unit was exceptionally clean. Heather was very responsive, she also checked in with us a couple times to make sure we arrived ok and after a bad storm moved through. Great host! We highly recommend Heather's place and would definitely stay again in the future!

This was a great beach condo, walkway to lots of the food and attractions in Surf City. The public beach access was right down the road and they had beach chairs and an umbrella that we could use!

Perfect location, beautiful open view of the ocean, clean and well stocked for everything we needed for the stay.

We enjoyed our stay. Alan was very responsive, even booked our trip the day of check in. We would definitely stay again.
