Dulaney's Retreat close to Wrightsville Beach
Very clean place, and easy access. Loved the stay and 100% would do it again.

Pelican's Perch, Oak Island, NC
This is best stay I’ve had at an Airbnb. Comfortable, quiet, safe for traveling alone, and hosts were just the best. Goldie the cat , who would’ve stayed out my way had I not enticed him with scritches and a few treats, was an added bonus for me. I booked a second consecutive week!

Lovely Little Beach Guest House
We loved staying here! It was the perfect cozy getaway next to the beach. The location was nice and quiet compared to the busier beaches we’ve visited in the past, creating the perfect environment for a relaxing vacation. Candy and Dan were super friendly and offered for us to borrow their beach equipment and bikes if we wished. We would definitely come back in the future.

Studio Aerie
This was SUCH a cute and perfect space. It is very clean, in a wonderful/safe neighborhood, and close to everything. I would highly recommend this spot. Donna is very responsive and a wonderful host!

1866 Historic Downtown Home STL2019-0279
Very close to everything downtown yet was able to just relax in the peaceful surroundings. Very clean and looked exactly like the pictures. Would definitely recommend.

Pond View Loft Apt
Sarah was a very attentive host! She gave us great local recommendations and was always responsive. They even replaced the record player so my teens could listen to them. Would highly recommend staying here!

Bird's Eye View - downtown, quiet, pet friendly
We absolutely loved our stay at Jason & Katie’s spot. They have thought of everything & we enjoyed the balcony porch! We brought our two small pups and it was so nice to have a little yard with a gate. We will definitely be back!

Seagate Guesthouse Cottage Apartment - NEAR BEACH!
Recently stayed mid June 2025 for a brief weekend trip. This Airbnb is a real find. It is in a great location, roughly 10 minutes to the beach and downtown. Inside was in great condition and a lovely place to spend a couple nights! Carol and Gray were very helpful in the check in process and even accommodated us with a late checkout after we got some bad weather. I highly recommend this Airbnb for smaller groups looking to find a quaint and affordable weekend in Wilmington! Hope to stay again someday!

Private Queen Studio ~10min to downtown & beach
We enjoyed our stay it was perfect for our Wilmington visit. We hope to come back again!

Cozy Coastal Cove
I would 100% recommend this place for anyone to stay! It is very well taken care of and very clean! Gwendolyn does a fantastic job at making sure her guests are taken care of and satisfied!

Pool House Cabana with Jacuzzi
Allie got me in for a two day trip with a week's notice. Had an absolute fun time in the hot tub and a very a clean place. She was very responsive and I even got to play fetch with her dogs 🐕

Backyard Beach Barn ~ 3 miles to beach!
The place was just as described, with an awesome TV perfect for plugging in our Switch at the end of a long beach day. It was a good location for being a close drive to campus, Wrightsville Beach and downtown Wilmington. Johnny was great about communicating with us quickly whenever we reached out. We even accidentally forgot some nice clothes in the closet, and he was kind enough to mail them all back to us on the same day.

Midtown Bungalow: Near UNCW, Beach, Golf+ Downtown
Our stay was enjoyable and pleasant. The space was very clean and relaxing. Our hosts were prompt and accessible when we had questions. We would definitely return when in Wilmington.

Walk to Beach | Plunge Pool | Pets | Outdoor Shwr

Private Pool House!
The private pool house in Carolina Beach was wonderful! The house was clean, the pool and hot tub were clean and wonderful, the extra amenities were a fabulous touch. The location is extremely convenient. Walking distance to the beach on one side, and a beautiful park and greenway on the other. Christiana is a wonderful and attentive host. We would definitely recommend this place 100%. It was exactly what we needed.

Nordic Studio Escape in Central Wilmington
We loved our stay at Siri’s place! It was exactly what we were looking for. The location was between downtown and the beach. There is a coffee shop within walking distance and the street reminds me of my childhood.

Hidden Haven
My fiancée and I stayed at Mark’s place and were less than 10 minutes from grocery stores, restaurants, Jungle Rapids Family Fun Park, and our gym (Crunch Fitness). We also enjoyed our trips to Wrightsville beach just about 10-15 minutes away depending on traffic. We had a blast and it was a great way to celebrate our engagement.

Southport Tree Escape * King Studio Near Downtown
Ginga, Oz and Roxy are wonderful hosts! We stayed for a full week. It was so nice to come back every day and have a lovely quiet and well equipped place to relax and read a book, and we both slept so well here. The location is convenient to shops, restaurants, and the waterfront. Everything is taken care of and if you need Ginga she was so helpful with any question but otherwise they are very respectful of your privacy. But they are such good people we found ourselves wanting to say hello! Highlights were Mr. P's and Provision Company plus swimming at Oak Point! For theatre lovers the Brunswick Little Theater (nearby) is a fun evening of community theatre run by an all volunteer staff. We would be lucky to stay here again. Thank you Ginga and Oz. It was a pleasure.

Creekside Crofter- private retreat
Verrrry cozy and very nice place to crash after checking out a bunch of places at Wilmington. Everything was spotless and neatly organized when I arrived. The host was very friendly and quick to reply!

The Caddy Shack
The Caddy Shack was literally perfect for our stay and an ideal location for what we wanted. The beach was 10 minutes away and anything we wanted to do in Wilmington was only 15 minutes away. The house is cozy and we loved the fenced in patio for our pup with the tv and lights. (the golf game they have out there is addicting! Lol. ) Blair was super nice and responsive for any questions I had. We will definitely be back!

Adorable 2 Bedroom 2 Bathroom Guest House
This place is a Gem in a country setting. The luxury is in the soft close cabinetry, the leathered granite, the plentiful lighting, the comfy beds. It has everything you need to explore Coastal NC. The deck has elevated-comfortable!- Adirondack chairs made of recycled plastic for no splinters. The sunrises are beautiful from the deck with a fresh cup of provided coffee. The birds and squirrels chatter and the forest smells amazing. There’s no road noise. The guest house is immaculate, the kitchen is stocked and well appointed with good knives, spices, oil, mixing bowls, pots and pans, glass containers for storing food… anything you’d need. Corelle type plates for food safe and break resistance. There’s a large farm sink and disposal. I just cannot believe how at home I felt with all of these touches. I could have stayed for weeks. My hosts were very responsive to my questions. I will be recommending Ross and Abigail’s place to my friends and family.

Close Enough
My mom and my 2 little dogs stayed at Ryan's place for a week. The place was really nice and clean and looked just as it does in the pictures. Easy to find and no issues with check in. The surrounding area is really nice and peaceful and great for walking my dogs every day. Easy to get to the beach and restaurants. Really enjoyed our stay. The larger bed in one of the bedroom was super comfortable and there were plenty of towels provided as well as beach towels and all the amenities that were needed for a week long stay. Ryan was a great host and easy to communicate with.
