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!

CB Bungalow 1 | Short Walk to Beach, Bars, Dining
Loved the stay. The location was great for all the local bars and attractions. And at the night it’s very peaceful with little to no noise. Definitely would stay again

The House of Kai, 1 Block From The Beach
Super cute house at Carolina Beach. Loved getting to stay there. They have great set up and close to the beach!

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!

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!

2 mins to beach - Pets OK - Kitchenette - W/D
My family and I enjoyed our weekend at Skipper’s place. It was a nice area in a wonderful friendly neighborhood. The walk to the beach wasn’t very long and the place had all the amenities you could need. Would recommend to a couple staying in the area!

The Gathering Place Condo w/ Ocean Views & Pool
My husband and I came down for a quick couple days get away, and it was a perfect place to stay! Convenient to everything, steps from the beach, and very private and quiet. We enjoyed taking a dip in the pool after spending a couple hours on the beach! We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

☀️Oceanfront with Beach Access "Carla's Cabana"☀️
This is a great condo in Carolina Beach! Great beach access, beautiful view of the ocean and a really nice pool. Nice touches in the condo to make it feel like home and a comfortable bed.

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.

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!

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!

Newly Renovated Panoramic OCEANFRONT Views
David and Nikki’s condo was a great place for our family of four to stay for a short week! David was quick to reply to any of my messages. Also helpful, was a binder full of restaurants including their menus and times of operation. The beach was just steps away, and the condo was bordered by two pools, which our kids loved!

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

Dual master, end unit condo with amazing views
Denise has thought of everything. Her condo is absolutely perfect, a very private and peaceful place. The pictures are accurate and in person it’s even better. My best friend and I have been going on beach trips for 9 years, so we have seen many beach houses. We know what we want and we FINALLY found one we are returning to next year for our 10th to celebrate 40 years of friendship. I can’t think of a better place for it. ♥️ Denise is very detailed with YOUR experience. She has literally thought of all your needs and the home is emasculate. I cannot say enough about this GEM. It was clean, modern, stocked and comfortable. The view was AMAZING. The privacy was incredible. A total reset from “adulting”. I cannot say enough except STAY HERE, STOP LOOKING! Thank you so much Denise. We cannot wait for our 10th trip to your beautiful condo. 🔆 Kira and Brandi

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.

Sailfish A
Cute little space with 2 bedrooms with 2 large beds. Perfect for adults who don't want to sleep on a twin while on vacation! Bathroom was small but clean. Location was AMAZING. super close to the beach access point but far enough away from the big hotels and the tourist filled boardwalk. Made for super quick trips back from the beach for things like lunch and the restroom. Enough outdoor space to layout clothes/towels/suits to dry so they do not crowd the bathroom.

Beauty & The Beach | Ocean Views | Near Boardwalk
This was our second time staying at Cacky’s place, and this time, as an engaged couple! Cacky’s place is spotless (squeaky clean), which I say as a germaphobe. The bed is very comfortable, and the kitchen is spotless. I also appreciate the TVs, both in the living room and bedroom. Her place is very close to the beach, which made it easy to run back if we forgot something or had to use the restroom. She also helpfully provides beach chairs and an umbrella. The last night, we sat on the balcony and ate dinner while watching the water. Such a great experience. If you want a luxury experience close to the beach, you should stay here! We will be back :)

Walk 2 Beach+Sunset Views+King Bed+Firepit
Stay was positive. Clean, tidy little Airbnb flip duplex that works just fine for a quick trip to Wrightsville with our small family. Good host communication. Close to the beach. We chose to drive our 3 year old and then have an adult walk back to make things a bit easier. Helpful amenities like the washer dryer and outdoor space.

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
Mikes place was very cute and cozy. Centrally located to Wrightsville beach and all of Wilmington.
