Waterfront Studio Apartment
Great location tucked back in an older neighborhood on the water, clean and comfortable sleeping arrangements.

Ola Verde
Great place to stay! Jarrod and his wife were very friendly and responsive with any questions on the app. They even let us check in early. Accommodating bikes was so thoughtful and fun for us as we biked to coffee places and lunch. We kayaked to palm tree island and that was so much fun! It’s also a great location to walk to the beach as well! The balcony was so peaceful in the morning and at night. 10/10 experience and first time vacationing to Wilmington. Will 100% come back!

Take a Break at Shore Break!
The view the view the view! Listen to the beach your whole trip from your balcony. Comfortable, clean, convenient location, private and quiet! Excellent unit! We travel a lot and this was our favorite vacation spot ever!

New! Oceanfront 2bd/2ba - Penthouse View!
We enjoyed our stay here! The beach supplies were amazing, and we had everything we needed for traveling with our toddler. One thing to note is you do have to put the sheets on the beds yourself. That wasn’t clear in the listing, and we waited until we were exhausted to do it later that night which wasn’t very fun. But very minor action in what was a wonderful family vacation with great views!

Riverfront sunset balcony + free covered parking
My husband and I enjoyed spending the weekend here for a wedding! The apartment is beautifully situated over the water with an amazing view. Right near the apartment is a local place to get drinks. The apartment is walking distance to everything, but also far enough where we didn’t hear a lot of noise. Aubrey was very responsive and gave explicit directions. It was helpful to have the parking garage which wasn’t far away at all! We also appreciated the “manual” with recommendations for local favorites including shopping and restaurants! The apartment was nicely decorated and clean. We would definitely stay there again! Thank you!

Jimmy’s place
We had such a wonderful time at Mary Margaret's place! Being steps from the beach was incredibly convenient, making it so easy to enjoy the sun and sand whenever we wanted. We also really appreciated having a cool bar with great drink specials and live music just around the corner. The apartment itself has such a lovely bohemian beach feel, it's really well designed and so comfortable. We're definitely hoping to come back soon!

The "Riverhouse" - Beautiful Waterfront Getaway
What a beautiful gem! I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. We look forward to staying again!

Cowabungalow - Luxury Condo
WONDERFUL!!! Condo was super clean, beautiful area. Loved the beach theme and all the decorations. Boardwalk is right outside the front door. Easy walking to bars, restaurants, rides, etc. Condo just as described. Super comfortable bed, well stocked towels and linens. (we even had beach towels left for us to use). Pet friendly unit. Stephanie and Josh were super responsive to any questions i had. Pool was nice and refreshing. Loved that the unit was gated and parking was great. Only time we had to get in the car was for ice and beverages. The guests even provided 2 beach chairs and an umbrella that was put out daily until 7pm. THAT WAS GREAT!! No lugging chairs and umbrella in and out of the beach. Shower was great. Hot water with wonderful shower head. All start up supplies we needed were provided. Already looking to book again in the future. Great place for couples with small children, pets or just a couples getaway. You won't be disappointed in this place!!!!

Colorful 3 bdr - beach & intracoastal access, pool
We had the best beach vacation at Kristin’s place. The house was just as described and very well stocked with just about everything we needed for a great stay. The kitchen was one of best for folks like us who cook most meals - plenty of pots and pans, utensils, and lots of dishes. Beds were all super comfy. And the use of the beach towels, chairs, sun shades and toys were WONDERFUL saving us precious packing space in the car. Kristin was very helpful with all my questions. 10 out of 10! Next time we are headed to the beach, this is the first place I will try to book. Thank you!

3BR Oceanfront-On the Sand! Pet Friendly! Sunsets!
The view of the ocean was absolutely stunning—truly the kind of view you could stare at for hours. The deck was perfect for morning coffee, sunset watching, and everything in between. Inside, the place was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully put together to make us feel right at home. Emily was a fantastic host—responsive, kind, and quick to address any issues that came up. She genuinely cared about our comfort and even went above and beyond to compensate us for a minor inconvenience, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, beautiful escape with top-notch hospitality!

Beachfront cottage with views from every room!
Very happy with the house & location! Hope to come back!

Oceanfront NTB * Private Pool * Hot Tub * Elevator
This is a special place - relaxing, peaceful, beautiful and accommodating. Everything was just as described and the pictures accurately represent the property. Fully stocked kitchen, crock pot and all. The space is nicely appointed and there were several places inside and outside the home our group of 9 could easily congregate. Incredible location, you really don’t even need to leave the house. We would love to visit again.

"Island Time", Peaceful 5 BR Oceanfront Home
Our family had a wonderful time. Being right on the ocean was perfect- our young grandchildren were able to play & enjoy time on the beach then easily go in for snacks or naps without having to pack everything up each time. Beautiful & peaceful setting.

The Ocean Breeze: Oceanfront 3 bedrooms Townhome
Great location! Can’t beat having a private quiet beach

Egret ~ Beachfront Cottage (pet-Friendly)
We had a great time staying in this cozy cottage. Mike was very responsive and helpful with the questions we had. This is our second time staying in this duplex. Both sides are equally as great! The small fenced in yard for the dogs and being able to sit on the porch where you can hear and see the ocean is so peaceful. Would stay again!

Mermaid Hill- Soundfront with dock, bring boat!
We had a fabulous relaxing time. The house is exactly as seen in the listing photos. We spent most of our time on the back patio. The house is very spacious. The private driveway feels so secluded and something out of a fairytale. We would absolutely stay here again and would recommend this house for large groups.

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

Oceanfront Duplex~ linens included!
Anne was so wonderful to work with and her communication was excellent! Her place was not only beautiful, but it was the perfect location to both the beach and the pool! It had multiple private decks for our family to enjoy the view and sounds of the ocean. The house was spotless and has been very well maintained; and as an extra bonus- it included ALL of the linens including plenty of extra bath towels and beach towels! We will definitely be back for many years to come!

Serene Oceanfront GetAway! #NamasteHereYall
I had an awesome stay at Christy’s place in Carolina Beach! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach and close to great restaurants. The place was super clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. Christy was a fantastic host—very friendly, responsive, and made everything easy. You can tell she really cares about her guests. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Spectacular View Ocean Beachfront Access Pool
Loved staying at Bee and Joe’s place! Beautiful home with beautiful ocean views! Close and easy access to the beach. Convenient to go back and grab a snack or anything else when needed. Well stocked with supplies to get you started. They send timely messages with needed information for check in and check out, and are quick to respond when messaged. Perfect beach vacation! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Bee and Joe for a lovely family vacation spot!
