Waterfront Retreat

HeatherRating, 5 stars7 months ago
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.

Babe Cave | Midtown Wilmington w/ playground

AliRating, 5 starstoday
Julie’s “Babe Cave” was exactly what my friend and I needed for a quick girls weekend away! Julie was very accommodating and flexible with our stay and arrival time. The space is gorgeous and very clean. The property is a guest house behind Julie’s residence, but still private enough to feel like we weren’t invading anyone’s space. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend for any girls visiting Wilmington!

Holden Beach Area, Pet Friendly

PaigeRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We consider Barney's our little hidden gem at Holden! This is our second time out at Barney's and it never disappoints! Check in was super easy, the house was immaculate, and the pool was pristine! Holden Beach is about 10 minutes from the front door and there's lots of local stuff to do. We brought our two dogs as well and they loved the beach after 6pm! We had a couple of rainy days, but Barney's place had plenty of things to entertain my 9, 11, and 13 year old boys. I would highly recommend to anyone, but especially families that are looking for the perfect beach vacation getaway!

Seaside Palace

EmilyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Our family loved this house and location - plenty of room, easy walk to the beach, tennis courts out back, friendly neighbors, easy access to restaurants and stores. Jim was responded quickly when we asked for help with supplies. The spring pollen factor was high - so be ready! We washed the decks and chairs and that improved things. We will return!

AshleyRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
I absolutely adore this cute little beach house. It was a perfect best friend get away. I felt like I was staging in a beach cottage straight off hgtv. My only suggestion is a full length mirror for the females! Definitely would stay here again.

The Turtle's Nest- Oceanfront Cottage - Hot Tub -

JacobRating, 5 stars3 months ago
This was an absolutely perfect Topsail vacation home! We loved every minute of our stay. The location is absolutely fantastic. So close to the little local shops and restaurants as well as super close to the bridge going over to the mainland.. The house itself was spotless and quite comfortable. Had everything we needed to cook full meals. Plenty of kitchenware for our group of seven. Proximity to the beach is by far the most fantastic detail of this house! The little private sandy beach *yard* attached to the deck is awesome for kids and the beach itself just down a few steps is so amazing. We could even sit in bed and see the ocean waves! This is the best house with beach access and views we've stayed at in Topsail. Also positive to note, the entire property being fenced in felt incredibly safe for kids and was fantastic for our dog. We realized the apartment was a part of the rental unit and we were so pleasantly surprised! It was a great separate space! Overall highly recommend!
