Coastal Escapes Luxury 3 bdrm Oceanfront Condo

LisaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This was a very last minute trip and it could not have turned out better. Debi’s place is in the perfect location with the BEST views (I’m a sucker for a sunrise). Even with the weather being cooler than we would have liked we were still able to get some nice sun on the rooftop deck, slipped down to beach for a bit, and took a short drive into downtown Wilmington. The condo is the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in and fully stocked with anything you’d need and more. Do NOT pass up the opportunity to stay here! Best decision ever.

Superhost

A wooden boardwalk leads to the beach, featuring a gazebo at the end, with gentle waves visible in the distance. The path is flanked by tall grass, under a clear blue sky, offering a serene view of the coastline.

After Dune Delight! There's no better way to stay!

AustinRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had such a good time at After Dune Delight celebrating our son’s first birthday. The place looks exactly like the photos and is super convenient to walk to the beach. The north end is very quiet, which was great although it was the off season so I’m sure it picks up. Having two patios was great for being able to sit outside even while the kid naps. Always love being able to bring our dog on trips, too! Highly recommend the north end mini mart for cheap breakfast sandwiches and the BARge at the CB Yacht Club for drinks. We’ll be back!

Memories Made Here, Dog friendly, Downtown OKI

DanielleRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Amazing, clean and had everything we needed. To include single serve toothpaste which I forgot to pack. Peaceful neighborhood. Just two blocks from the grocery store and three to beach access. Perfect for families and those that don’t want to climb stairs. Backyard offered comfort seating to enjoy family time and star gazing.

vaCRAYtion-short walk to the beach & pet friendly

BettyRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Cathy's place was the perfect spot for a Christmas vacation for 5 humans and 2 dogs! The decor was updated and had all the amenities you could need, with plenty of space to cook meals and play games. The beds were super comfy and I really appreciated having blinds and curtains in the bedrooms that let me sleep past sunrise, I know this is challenging at most beach houses with lots of windows! We were super close to the beach and restaurants (Granny's had the BEST biscuits). The fenced backyard was great for the dogs, and the nearby dog park, greenway path, and state park kept us all entertained. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back!

KarissmaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Mark and Sheryl were amazing hosts! They made sure to provide complimentary snacks and drinks for settling in, as well as plenty of beach supplies. The space was perfect for what we needed and roomy too! We never had to drive more than 10 minutes away for everything we needed. The perfect getaway! Thank you, Mark and Sheryl!!

Best Location On The Island! Amazing Ocean Views!

SamuelRating, 5 stars4 days ago

Can’t speak highly enough of this host and location. It was well worth the premium cost. Had I not had to make a grocery run (poor planning on our part) we wouldn’t have ever had to drive anywhere. Tons of amenities, restaurants, etc within a 5 minute walking radius! And the beach views/access is UNPARALLELED! It was PACKED this Easter weekend, so having immediate access with private showers/hoses to clean up was incredible. Would easily stay here again time and time again.

Townhouse in Carolina Beach

An aerial view of the property highlights its proximity to the beach, showcasing multiple levels and several nearby buildings. The shoreline and ocean are visible in the background, with beachgoers scattered along the sandy stretch. The spacious decks provide expansive views of the water.

5BR-Ocean Views-Golf Cart Rental-Newly Updated!

KristenRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

we had a lovely stay in this beach house. there are a lot of stairs, but the elevator was amazing for suitcases and for a dog that traveled with us that had a bad hip. There was a ton of space to hang out or spend time in your rooms. The balconies were lovely to see the ocean and to get a breeze in the house. The walk to the boardwalk was also a nice thing to do to spend time and overall just a really lovely home to stay in.

Family friendly & great location

4.87 out of 5 average rating, 38 reviews3 months ago

This was a true home away from home! From the moment we arrived until our departure, my family and I felt at home. The only difference between our own home and this one was the address. The location was even better, nestled in a peaceful neighborhood where the residents welcomed and treated us as neighbors. The interior of the home was impeccable, with everything in its place. I would highly recommend this location to anyone seeking a home away from home.

The Upper Deck at Lumina by the Sea~Hot Tub

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 65 reviews1 week ago

This is a beautiful place with plenty of space to spread out inside. The covered porch is 10 out of 10! Romantic and lovely for friends or couples or a solo sit. The Kitchen is well appointed and is really nice for cooking together while talking, and has great sharp knives. The bed is comfy. The bathrooms feel genuine and luxe - the tile looks handmade and chosen with though and care- this isn’t the kind of place that had a quick flip; this place looks and feels better in real life than in the image even- this place is the real deal and feels homey and grounding. You will love it.

Updated Luxury, Family Friendly - Dock, 2 Clubs

5 out of 5 average rating, 38 reviews2 weeks ago

Five Stars All the Way! We had the most incredible stay at Vaycash on Bald Head Island! From the moment we walked in, it felt less like a rental and more like staying at a dear friend’s beautiful home. Stef has thought of everything—the home is gorgeously decorated, full of charm, and stocked with more amenities than any place we've ever stayed. This was hands-down the most above-and-beyond experience we’ve ever had with an Airbnb. Every detail was thoughtfully done—from the fully equipped kitchen (a dream to cook in!) to the peaceful, tucked-away location in the woods that gave us the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. The golf cart made exploring the island a breeze, and the kids were thrilled with the bikes and kayaks. Stef’s generosity and attention to detail made this getaway truly special—we didn’t want to leave! We can’t recommend Vaycash highly enough and are already dreaming about our next visit.

LisaRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Shane’s condo was wonderful. It was very clean and well decorated. One of the best things was how much he provided in the kitchen. Plenty of spices and other staples. He provided all the every day necessities. The bed and furniture were very comfortable. We would definitely rent this condo again.

Great view of the ocean from the top floor bedrooms. Loved the hammock, and the large kitchen space downstairs. Beach was nice and quiet with beautiful weather most days for fishing. Great place to stay for our large family vacation.

Beautiful cottage a short stroll to the ocean

MichaelRating, 5 stars7 months ago

We had a wonderful visit to Carolina Beach. The house was spacious, beautiful and immaculate. We strolled the few blocks to the beach daily. The owners graciously helped us locate a tire repair shop as we had a flat tire shortly before arriving. The area was inundated with 20” of rain several days before we arrived. It was shocking how quickly the businesses recovered.

We loved this place! The condo was close to the beach and was so comfortable for our family. This was our son’s first trip to the beach and traveling with a baby is never easy, but coming here made it worth it. Hope we get to come back someday!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! Our toddler loved the house, it allowed plenty of space for the late night zooming to be had. It was a very short walk to the beach and super close to great restaurants! Sharon was super responsive and helpful with our questions! We loved it!
