La Ola by Casa Del Sol.

We enjoyed our stay here. The unit is smaller than what we usually rent, but was the right price point and the decor is thoughtfully designed to make the place feel airy and calming. The 3 of us had a great time and loved the quick walk to the beach and to Sundays for coffee.

Hawks Nest 7 @ UNCW

5 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviews3 weeks ago

Travis' place was the perfect spot for me. It's in a really convenient area. The apartment was obviously renovated recently, and they did a good job - very clean, modern, and nothing about it feels cheap. Fully stocked kitchen, comfortable couch, comfortable bed, fast internet. I thought it was a really good value, especially considering its location. Travis was also very responsive, which is always nice. I would stay again for sure.

Great unique place to stay. Cool vibe inside and hostess was really responsive for anything you needed. Perfect location , everything is walking distance. If loud noise outside isn’t for you then this wouldn’t be the spot for you but I didn’t mind it. It’s easy to walk outside and walk to all the good spots including the river walk and good restaurants and shops.

This was just what we needed. Studio with comfy king bed and refrigerator/coffee machine/microwave. Designated parking spot in driveway. Couldn’t even hear the people staying in the other unit, and we loved that we could walk (~20 min) to the main downtown area. Would stay again!

We had a great stay at this apartment while visiting our daughter at UNCW with our young son. The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was perfect—close to campus, restaurants, and everything we needed. The host was communicative and made check-in seamless. We would definitely stay here again on future visits!
