Ocean View! No Pet Fee! Come Relax @ The Escape CB
Matthew's place was awesome! Very close to the beach and near the main hub of Carolina Beach where you can get food and drinks!

So peaceful but right by the beach and Boardwalk!
Overall, this was a great experience. She had clear instructions and was very responsive. The place was a short walk from the beach and it was cute and cozy!

Sweet Carolina Ocean View, Luxury Top Floor 403
Kimberly is a super-duper host. Her apartment was over-the-top clean, spacious, and well stocked with all kinds of kitchen wares and all the usual items you need on day one so you don’t have to dash to the grocery. And the location is the best, I think, in Carolina Beach. The building is new, modern, and quiet. You can easily walk to nearby restaurants, the Boardwalk, and all through the old neighborhoods. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Sandy Toes & Sunny Days: Your Carolina Beach Haven
Had a great time at this condo! Robin was super friendly and proactive when it came to communication. The condo has a gorgeous view from the balcony, and parking was plentiful and easy to access for a majority of the stay. Great selection of local businesses within 10-15 minute’s walk, easy beach access, the works. Would rent again

CB Bungalow 3 | Short Walk to Beach, Bars, Dining
Cottage 3 is located in the back of property and has a small fenced yard where you can let the dogs use the bathroom. Be aware other guests may also use the yard which takes away some of the privacy as it’s about 15ft away from your door. Perfect location, you never really need your car as you are within a 5-10 minute walk to the boardwalk. The space is fine for 2 adults and 2 dogs, if you will mostly be out and about. It was perfect for our beach trip 👍

Eastbound Historic Beach Cottage
If you want to relax but be within a quick walk to the beach and the party spots, this is the place. I’m a Wilmington local and chose this spot due to its location. This little beach house has everything you need for a fun vacay.

One Beach’in Cottage, walk to the beach!
My husband and I just returned from our second stay at One Beachin' Cottage for a long Memorial Day weekend. The cottage is comfy & we appreciate that it's pet friendly. Although the street where the Cottage is quiet and fairly traffic-free, it's walkable to the beach, restaurants, and the boardwalk. We appreciated how close it is to the Tiki Bar, The Spot, and the Veggie Wagon. We will definitely be back!

Surf4life Oceanfront Beach Cottage
This was by far the nicest Airbnb I have ever stayed in! The owner thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and stress-free. So many little extras and perks that weren’t even mentioned in the description. The photos don’t do it justice! The back covered porch is really large and the views from it are wonderful. And the front porch is very spacious also, with nice benches lining the sides that would seat a lot of people. Just a few steps and you’re on the walkway to the beach also! The furniture in the living room, and the beds, are amazingly comfortable. The outdoor shower is really nice - so spacious and clean! The owner is very nice and super responsive. He really does care about you having a nice stay in his lovely home!

We had an amazing weekend with lots do do and tons of fun. I would highly recommend.

Oceanfront Building-Boardwalk-Pool-Prime Location!
We had a wonderful weekend at Kristen's place. It was a perfect location with lots to do and great food from local restaurants. Will be back :)

Coastal Escapes Luxury 3 bdrm Oceanfront Condo
Beautiful condo with the boardwalk in walking distance and ocean front. Loved the rooftop lounge chairs, private and quiet. Pool was clean and relaxing. Will definitely be booking again!

OCEANFRONT & ON the BOARDWALK! Unbelievable VIEWS
This is a great location for walking to the boardwalk, and we were happy to have an elevator since our group included my elderly mother and little kids. Beds were super comfortable. Carnival and fireworks at night were great. Warning to toddler parents: our two year old was able to fit his head and most of his body between the rails on the balcony (and he refused to stop doing it), so we had to make the balcony off limits. The bunk room is on the street side of the building and you can hear the music coming from the bar next door late into the night, although our kids slept fine with a white noise machine. The queen bedroom has no windows and was quiet.

Take a Break at Shore Break!
We spent a beautiful and relaxing week at Wendy & Jeff's Seascape. The place is EXACTLY like the photos, the view from the balcony is a dream!! Waking up to the ocean sounds every morning is something we will never forget. The apartment is very well-stocked with all the items you need to enjoy the beach, clean up afterward (lots of hot water and good shower pressure!) and cook a delicious meal (plenty of kitchen gadgets). Very easy to walk around the neighborhood, up to the pier for quick eats, or less than a mile to the little mini-mart. Parking is easy. Area is safe. The pool area across the street was clean and fun too! The hosts gave excellent, clear instructions for arrival/departure and even checked in on us via the app during our stay. Thank you so much, Wendy & Jeff!

Ocean Front, Top Floor Unit- Carolina Beach
Outstanding weekend getaway for 4 adults plus an infant. Beautiful just sitting on the lanai watching the waves roll in, walking the adjacent boardwalk to the beach or walking to restaurants just a couple blocks away. We’ll be back!

Shell of a Vibe Beach Condo - Oceanfront and Chill
It was our 40th anniversary and we decided that we wanted to go to our favorite beach in North Carolina. We could see the ocean from this apartment and a very short walk to the beach. Enjoyed sleeping on the beds and having 2 bathrooms were fantastic. AC was great and water pressure in shower, was too. They had everything you needed and didnt lack on the supplies. It was a memorable vacation that we will never forget. Thanks Curtis

Ocean Vibes on the ICWW. w/pier and on peninsula
Wonderful place! The sandbar was the most amazing part! We loved kayaking around and swimming! We will be back for sure!!

Waterfront Retreat
The property is absolutely beautiful and is furnished with a very cozy, homey, shabby chic meets beach cottage feel and it makes you feel right at home. The modern kitchen has everything you could ever need, the bedrooms are nicely appointed with bamboo sheets and fluffy comforters. The living room is comfortable and has all the modern technology (if you need to stay connected). But it was the view that was what wowed us the most. From inside the cottage, to the comfortable back deck, to dock, the view as spectacular and we enjoyed it so much. Joanna was very responsive to the questions that we had and was a lovely host. We will definitely be making a return to the property.

Walk 2 Beach+Sunset Views+King Bed+Firepit
Madison was such a great host, she was very responsive when we had questions and her home was beautiful and perfect for our family weekend at the beach! It was a great location and walkable to so many things. We would stay again.

CAROLINA VIEWS (OCEAN + MARSH)
The location of this place is ideal if you want to be close to the water & watch the sunset! We enjoyed the convenience of its location. This unit has the cutest decor. Communication with the host was great, very responsive. We are pretty easy going when it comes to traveling. Two things we would change is the pillows on the bed & having a solid curtain option in the bedroom. Overall a good visit & would stay again!

2nd Floor Condo w/ Direct Ocean View
Great beach stay with my son & our dog! Clean and comfortable stay, really enjoyed hanging out on both balconies. Pool was nice and never crowded and beach was less than 3 minute walk away! We would recommend to anyone looking for a nice family stay & hope to visit again soon!

OceanView, Steps to Boardwalk, Beach Service Incld
Had the perfect weekend getaway at this beach condo! The place was clean, cozy, and just steps from the beach. Loved waking up to coffee and Britts doughnut from the boardwalk then relaxing on the balcony before we started the day. Everything was just as pictured-definitely coming back!

The Oceanfront
Beautiful pristine breach condo, beautifully decorated and fully stocked with anything and everything you could think of. There are not enough words to describe the view. Early check in and check out, the hosts were so kind thoughtful and responsive. This is my third summer traveling to SC/NC this was by far the best experience. I not only had a beautiful stay and made beautiful memories I gained a new friends, Denise and family are wonderful. 10/10 recommend. Thank you so much!

Beach Cottage on Stokley~Steps to Intracoastal+WB
