Places to stay in Riverfront, Wilmington

Perfect, old-school beach getaway! We loved parking ourselves on the “lifeguard stand built for two” and just watching: the waves, the wildlife, the surfers, the sky…soooo relaxing and just what we needed to unwind for a few days. We loved the laid back vibe of the place and the hosts!

The host was very responsive and the place was great all around. Views are amazing, parking is out front of the unit. This spot is one of the best for the price and worked well for three people for two nights. I will definitely stay here again when I am back in town.

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!

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

we loved this place, it was right on the water and only a very short walk to the beach access. the view was beautiful and we felt right at home, it was very peaceful and relaxing! we will definitely be planning another stay here in the future!

We had a wonderful time! The house was amazing, cozy, and peaceful. Pam was a great host. Will certainly visit again!

We really enjoyed our stay at Chris' place. You can't beat the location and we loved the ocean view from the front balcony. The unit has been renovated and looks brand new with great appliances and decor. Chris was very responsive and told us everything we needed to know, including restaurant recommendations in town. We would definitely stay here again.

The location of this place is ideal if you want to be close to the water & watch the sunset! We enjoyed the convenience of its location. This unit has the cutest decor. Communication with the host was great, very responsive. We are pretty easy going when it comes to traveling. Two things we would change is the pillows on the bed & having a solid curtain option in the bedroom. Overall a good visit & would stay again!

Great stay! Place was very clean and extremely well stocked. Light switches can be a little confusing but thank goodness for her labels. Front porch sitting was excellent for watching people and looking for alligators in the lake. We were there for a concert at GLA and the house is an easy 10 minute walk.

A wonderful place to stay in a great neighborhood. Kim was very accommodating with early check-in and brought extra beach towels for us during our stay.

The place and stay were fantastic. The kitchen had everything that we needed, which is what I was worried about. Would stay here again 100%!

Tony is a great host! He is very accommodating and his home was exactly as described. It’s located in a safe neighborhood, close to downtown Wilmington and the beach. We recommend this place!

Amazing hosts. Had extra amenities not listed had everything a home would have away from home. I would definitely come back it was amazing.

This place was as described. The area was quiet. Not far from eating places nor shopping areas.

This beautifully landscaped secluded getaway is exactly what we needed. The large pond, small walking paths around the property and large screened in porch are a perfect way to detach from the day-to-day. When we stayed in May, the temperatures were cooler and the heated pool made it so much better to enjoy. The kids loved exploring the arcade machines upstairs as well. Highly recommend staying here if it remotely piques your interest!

Henry was great to work with and answered any question we had. The place itself was very clean, and well taken care of. Well worth the money!

Audrey’s stay was the perfect location to explore downtown Wilmington! Having the parking garage right across the street was ideal for our rental car as well. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Wilmington in the future!

Alex was a great host and we loved staying at his property. We were able to walk to several different places and even with how close the property is to downtown, it was still relatively quiet despite it being Memorial day weekend. The house was well stocked with food/supplies that we were allowed to use if we wanted to. Alex was also very generous and allowed us to check out pretty late since he didn’t have anyone staying the next day, which helped us maximize our stay. Would for sure book and stay with Alex again on my next visit to Wilmington.

We really enjoyed our stay as we were looking for a place that was central to all of the activity and shopping, and boy did this fit the bill. Very clean and comfortable and our host Summer was incredibly responsive. We drove into the historic district, parked within 200 feet from the apartment with the pass provided, and did not have to drive again until we checked out to leave. This place is right in the sweet spot for everything going on there including all the dining and shopping.

Staying at this beautiful Airbnb overlooking the Cape Fear River was delightful! From the moment we booked, the communication was flawless—responsive, friendly, and the guidebook was incredibly helpful. Every question we may have had was answered. The host went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and prepared for our trip. What really sets this stay apart is the impeccable attention to detail. From the cozy, well-appointed decor to the thoughtful touches everything was clearly chosen with care and intention. You can tell the host genuinely wants guests to have the best possible experience. This Airbnb is the perfect balance of luxury, comfort, and convenience. We’re already planning our next visit.

Hello, Everything was wonderful at 106 N Water Street, the condo was clean, comfortable, a great view of the river, very nice accommodations as well. The hosts were great on returning my text messages before the trip and all during our stay. I would definitely recommend this home for any length of stay in Wilmington.

This stay was perfect!!! It was exactly as advertised and in such a great location.

My husband and I stayed Tuesday-Friday to celebrate our anniversary. Because it was during the week there was ample parking. The place itself was very quiet and clean. The location is absolutely perfect, walkable to so many places. We made a dinner reservation at Tarantelli’s and had a few cocktails at the Banter, all next to the Airbnb which was convenient on the rainy day. We checked out a few other places Brendan and Julia recommended and would 100% visit again!

Had a peaceful weekend getaway with my girlfriend here. It’s a beautiful home with a historic look and feel. Comfortable bed, gorgeous bathroom, clean kitchen, private parking, nice colors, and a lot of natural light. It did everything we needed to and more. Special thanks to the hosts for reaching out and making sure everything was top notch, and replying quick to any questions or needs. Would stay here again.
