Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Wilmington

My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at A Wave From it All, and it did not disappoint. We stayed for 4 nights, and were able to enjoy the beach and the activities with no problem. The only downside was that the pool was unfortunately closed for our time here, and we had originally chose this place based on the fact that there was also a pool, however that isn’t something Jenna could control of course as they were doing construction on it; we did not know until we arrived. However, the restaurants and the boardwalk are all very close, as well as the beach access being right across from our house. We walked the pond most nights as well which was nice. Overall, we had a great experience here and will be staying again next year.

We had a great stay, everything was explain and written down so we did not have to reach out for questions. Great hosts and a wonderful stay.

The perfect place for my dog and myself! The location is ideal, steps from the beach, within walking distance to plenty of restaurants and the Boardwalk, and a short drive to several parks. The condo was spotless and very comfortable. Sabine was a truly fantastic host and I would definitely recommend her and her property!!

Awesome place and location! Perfect for my husband and I’s long weekend anniversary trip. Several restaurants and bars within walking distance. The pool was under renovation during our stay, which was a bummer but we were aware of ahead of time. 10/10 recommend!

Our stay was great. Very flexible and responsive as our trip was very last minute. Within walking distance of the beach as advertised and the pool was lovely! ❤️

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.

We had such a great stay!!! This house is in an amazing location so close to Wrightsville Beach. The house offers so many comfortable rooms to sleep in and has an amazing backyard with the pool and yard space to have fun and enjoy. Would definitely stay here again!

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!

Beautiful home in a great location! The house is located in a quiet neighborhood within easy walking distance to the beach. The private beach access and parking is a huge plus. The house was extremely clean, especially for a pet friendly property, and had everything we needed for our stay. The fenced in back yard was perfect for our pups. Would definitely stay again!

We were very pleased with our stay. We stayed with a pet and she loved the fenced and secure yard. As a host, Brian left no stone unturned as far as amenities and attention to detail. He was very friendly, helpful and had excellent communication. The home is beautiful and we very much enjoyed our time there.

This might be the best place I’ve stayed! We felt right at home and it was the perfect space for us. David and Brittany were very responsive and kind, and we had everything we needed. The self check in with the keypads was very helpful, and I liked that the house was hidden from the road and from other neighbors. Very clean, and the amenities and yard made us feel secure about having our dog there. Would definitely stay here again! It’s not too far from the beaches while not being in the middle of the tourist areas/traffic.

Loved the location. I wasn't sure about everyone in our group liking being so close to the "hubbub", but that ended up being what something we really liked about the place. Lots of things to do that are walkable. Shops, restaurants, bars, coffee houses, a beautiful walkway along the intracoastal waterway, a kids playground... And the view can't be beat! Well stocked kitchen- like truly everything you could possibly need. Lots of seating on the deck. All the things! Mom was over the moon about her 90th birthday celebration.

Our second time staying at Three Happy Crabs was even better than the first! Walkable to the beach and local restaurants, dog-friendly, and clean. Jessica is a great host and we would recommend her place to anyone visiting Holden Beach!

We enjoyed our stay over spring break. The arcade and game room were enjoyed by all. There were plenty of places to sleep our family of eleven. We loved the location and the ability to bike to several places including the beach.

This was a very clean, comfortable and attractive place to stay. The location was very convenient to all the wonderful things Wilmington has to offer. The owners were very helpful with check in and provided a lovely place.

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The highlight for us was how kid-friendly it was – the high chair and kids utensils and plates were great. The outdoor space was fantastic, providing the perfect spot for relaxing and playing. Plus, the location couldn’t have been better – just a short drive to the beach. Highly recommend for families looking for a fun and easy getaway!

Place was amazing and very walkable. Brandon was super accommodating, great experience!

Jasmyn’s home was the perfect spot for our group’s short getaway. It was clean, spacious, and ideally located, just a short drive to the beach and the riverfront. We especially appreciated the well-equipped kitchen for cooking together, and the comfortable beds made for a great night’s sleep. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, which made relaxing even easier. Highly recommend! A+++!!!!

I feel fortunate every time I get to enjoy Timothy's Beach Adjacent home when I visit Wilmington. It's always well supplied, very comfortable, peaceful and thoughtfully designed! Cheers to Timothy: another very enjoyable stay and another job well done!

For us, this was a great stay, beginning to end. Michael was very responsive from the very beginning when I first reached out to him about his property. I grew up in Wilmington, but sadly our reason for being in town was for my dad’s funeral. The house is such a cute floor plan, very modern style. It has just enough furniture but without feeling cluttered. We didn’t use the loft area, but it is a really neat space. We had two large breed dogs with us and we had plenty of floor space for their beds and still be able to move around easily. The bed in the full bedroom sleeps really nicely. It’s on a quiet street, with more than plenty of space for multiple vehicles. Our dogs loved sniffing around in the fenced in part of the yard. It’s conveniently located to several major thoroughfares in mid-town Wilmington so getting around is easy. We also loved the PacMan game. Would absolutely stay again!

The house was in a great location, walkable to downtown. It was clean and comfortable. The hosts were very responsive and friendly.

We have been to Wilmington multiple times over the last 5 years because our daughter attended UNCW. Margaret's place was definitely one of our favorite stays. The bungalow style house was better than the photos. It was larger inside than we expected. The bathroom in the third bedroom toward the back of the house was fantastic. The mattress in this bedroom was extremely comfortable and we slept well. This is such an important part of any stay, and it was clear that it was considered. There was a spacious back deck which we enjoyed during our stay. I highly recommend staying at her location on Wrightsville Ave.

We had a great time staying in this cozy cottage. Mike was very responsive and helpful with the questions we had. This is our second time staying in this duplex. Both sides are equally as great! The small fenced in yard for the dogs and being able to sit on the porch where you can hear and see the ocean is so peaceful. Would stay again!

We love the location and even though it is close to a main road it is still private and comfortable. The fenced yard is perfect for your dogs with plenty of space for them to stretch. The back deck is comfortable as well. The inside of the house is exactly as shown, it is comfortable and quiet , the big screen TV is perfect after a a busy day in Wilmington. You can walk to Whole Foods , shopping or just around this neighborhood. The neighbors are friendly and welcoming and enjoy visiting with you and your dogs . The gardenias and magnolias were in bloom and lent a light sweet smell. We would definitely stay at Esthers Garden again.
