Cape Fear Historic Haven

SamanthaRating, 5 stars5 days ago

Had a great time at this Airbnb! Was a little nervous about the street parking but that ended up being super easy and there was always a spot to park. About a 10 minute walk to the riverwalk which was amazing! We actually got engaged in the living room of this place so this place will be super memorable for us and we’d stay again!

Minimal Jet Setter | No Cleaning Fee!

VictoriaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

My wife and I had a wonderful stay in this clean, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed space. The room was exactly as described minimalist, cozy, and spotless, with extra touches like water, soft linens, and a super comfortable bed that made us feel right at home. The private bathroom was a huge plus, and check-in was completely smooth and contactless. The hosts were kind, communicative, and respectful of our space while still being available if we had questions. The location was perfect tucked in a quiet neighborhood but just a short drive to downtown Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach. We couldn’t have asked for a better balance of comfort, convenience, and hospitality. Highly recommend!
