"Saltwater Escape: 5BR Fun & Pool Paradise"
We came to celebrate birthdays in our family. We had three families staying together at this Airbnb and we had plenty of space to sleep comfortably, have the kids entertained in both the family room and outside, and we were able to cook full meals for everyone. The beach is a short drive and the home is conveniently located to grocery stores and shopping centers as well. The home was absolutely beautiful and we loved everything about our stay, especially the outdoor area with the pool, screened in porch, grill and outdoor games. I would absolutely come back to stay here again! *Also, one of the children left a Tablet device in the home after check out and the owners were super helpful and quickly responsive to ensure we were able to retrieve it before we left town!

After Dune Delight
10/10 experience. Host was very accommodating, professional, and very personable. We enjoyed our stay and would 110% recommend to anyone!!! Will definitely be back!!

WOW! Pool+Pizza Oven near Beaches, UNCW & Downtown
Loved our stay and our toddler enjoyed being in the pool. Great outdoor locations and amenities. Friendly and helpful host. Looking forward to stay in future.

Mermaid Retreat* Private Pool* Pet Friendly
Great house in a great location. The back yard and pool were lovely! Nice private fenced yard great for dogs and kids. The house was stocked with everything we needed and the attention to detail throughout the home was great! We would definitely stay again!

Beach Bum Rest & Relax (With Salt Pool)
We enjoyed our time at Gennaro's. It is an older home, but very comfortable and ina very quiet area. We had a few things happen, but Gennaro got right back with me immediately. Plenty of room for the family.

CoastalCastle~Pool~Big~Family
We had a wonderful weekend stay with family at this beautiful home. We loved spending time at the beach and then coming home relaxing by the pool. Having pool towels provided was a great bonus! Alex and Lexi were very responsive and reassuring when we reached out about a few cleaning issues we noticed. Overall, it was a great experience — highly recommend if you're looking for a relaxing weekend getaway with a pool!

Home with Salt water pool and bamboo garden view
My stay was absolutely amazing! The host was incredibly sweet, kind, and welcoming she made sure everything was perfect from the moment I arrived. The space was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. You can tell she really cares about her guests and puts a lot of love into her hosting. I felt comfortable and safe the entire time. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend her place to anyone looking for a peaceful and pleasant experience! Thank you Frances ❤️

Spacious 5-BR Retreat w/ King Suite, Game Room +
Our stay was a very enjoyable experience, from all of the extra amenities that were available to us to enjoy (our young adult kiddos loved the bikes!!!), to the all over cleanliness of the house. The proximity between the beach and downtown was perfect for us and I loved the creative touches of the decor throughout.

New! Coastal Modern~5 mins to Wrightsville Beach!
Wonderful home, great location, about 10-15 mins to the beach. Very quiet street, home was clean and well stocked, and Mary is a wonderful host. If we’re back in the area again, we will absolutely stay at this house. Bring your bug spray if staying here as the beach mosquitoes are relentless! Thank you, Mary for a great stay.

Summer Hill Cottage – Near Downtown & South Front
Nice location, close to downtown, responsive and kind host and clean home. Easy stay, enjoyed our month here.

The Jade Getaway
Excellent place to stay for a weekend in Wilmington. We were especially impressed with the interior design. They have excellent style! The place is within walking distance of downtown. It was nice to be able to walk to the river walk for dinner and then walk back without having to worry about parking. We would stay here again!

SALE! 2mi to Downtown & Front Street Attractions!
Lila was a wonderful and hospitable host! We enjoyed our stay!

Seagate Cottage
Absolutely no notes, think this is probably our favorite air bnb we’ve ever stayed in. Kitchen was super well stocked with almost every appliance I use to cook at home, the board game selection was tops, and it was super clean and tidy. Very spacious-feeling too. Will 100% be staying here again!

3BR Midtown Ranch | 15min to Wrightsville&Downtown
I had a fantastic stay! The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The check in process was smooth, and the host was very friendly and responsive. I especially appreciated the welcome book with local recommendations it was a great touch. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing place.

Greenfield Cozy Cabin - EV Charging
Was a great spot and just what we were looking for. 10 minutes from downtown Wilmington and 20 minutes to wrightesville beach. The backyard was very quiet and peaceful and the backyard shower was great! House was clean and had plenty of kitchen supplies. We had 3 people and it was perfect, Highly recommend!

Beach & River House Getaway
I had a great 5-day stay at Jennifer’s place! She was incredibly nice and always responded very quickly whenever I had a question or needed something. The house was exactly as pictured, super clean, and very comfortable. It’s also in a convenient location—not far from restaurants and Walmart, which made things really easy during my stay. I’d definitely recommend staying here and would be happy to come back again!

Coastal Cottage
We loved Jeanette’s coastal cottage for our 4 day stay in Wilmington. The space was so clean and had everything you could possibly need. She was very welcoming with wine and chocolates and a card. The back porch was amazing to relax at night. It was 5-10 minutes from downtown and 15 from the beach. Couldn’t recommend this more if you’re looking to stay in Wilmington!

Poolside in the Pines
It was amazing the only regret is wish we could’ve stayed longer. There was a slight odor in the house but other than that it was pleasant!!

Walk to the cargo district - CCC
The CCC was a great space for us to stay for UNCW orientation! Easy to find and a great space for the 2 overnight visit!

The Green Cottage
We just returned from a week stay at Helen's "Green Cottage" and it was everything we expected and more. The property was very clean and stocked well with paper products, coffee, etc. The filtered water in the kitchen sink was a bonus. Location was perfect - a very short (5 minute) walk to historic downtown Wilmington with plenty of restaurants, entertainment, bars, riverfront, etc. We definitely plan to stay here again on our next visit!

Bungalow in Wrightsboro, NC
We had a wonderful weekend at Suzi’s place. The home was immaculately clean. Kitchen was even stocked with some spices, which we really didn’t expect. Our two doggies just loved the fully fenced in yard. They were able to romp around off leash while my husband and I enjoyed the string lights at the little patio table. The bed was comfortable and Suzi even provided a sheet to protect the bedspread when our dogs slept in bed with us. Lots of unexpected niceties like snacks which came in handy since we arrived fairly late Friday evening. The home is conveniently located near beaches and the USS North Carolina. We were able to have our doggies spend a day at Pet Paradise so we could tour the ship without leaving them home alone. Thank you, Suzi, for sharing your home with us. We would definitely recommend this for anyone traveling with doggies. Already recommended it to my neighbors.

Beach Cottage on Stokley~Steps to Intracoastal+WB
Mikes place was very cute and cozy. Centrally located to Wrightsville beach and all of Wilmington.

Walk Anywhere Downtown, Quiet Street, Full Kitchen
Loved our stay! This is basically the perfect location for Wilmington—you’re a few blocks from the riverwalk and you’re in one of the best parts of downtown. Beautiful and comfy Airbnb, adding this one to our go-to list for return trips. :)

Bungalow on James. Historic Downtown. Pvt Driveway
Beautiful home that is neat and nicely decorated. It is well appointed/stocked and includes everything you need for your stay. It is in walking distance of downtown Wilmington so you can easily visit the restaurants and shops but also in a quiet neighborhood if you want peace and relaxation. The sitting area in the back is wonderful to start the day with a cup of coffee. You could spend hours walking the area between the location and downtown looking at the architecture and historic homes in the area.
