Clean, cozy, lovely views, beach access, and more!
The Seahorse Castle was perfect for 2! Clean, plenty of dishes and kitchen must haves, a soakable sized tub, decorated with beachy vibes, and just as described. If you have 4x4 I recommend Fort Fisher to drive out and set up on the beach. We had an amazing time, ate good food, heard live music, went to CB market around the lake Saturday morning, and can’t wait to return! Jeanette’s place will always be special to us, we got engaged! 💕 Kelly & Pauly

Oak and Tide Guest Suite
Judy, Mike and Grandma Barb made our stay wonderful. Grandma Barb was so sweet and helpful when we first arrived. The location of the Airbnb was absolutely wonderful we loved that it was is so close to the beach and walking distance to everything. We absolutely enjoyed our anniversary at Oak Island. Thank you so much Judy, Mike, and Grandma Barb for a wonderful place to stay.

1 BR Condo - Water Views - 2 Min Walk to Beach
Great location, clean condo, and was exactly as described! Only a couple of minute walk to the beach, umbrella and chairs were provided, and Kelly was super friendly and responsive. I would stay here again!

A-Street Hideaway
It’s difficult to find beach access with parking. Walt’s place offers both. As advertised.

KureBNBeach - No pet fee!
This place was just perfect for our week long getaway! It’s in a fantastic location, only a short walk to the beach and to several great restaurants. The apartment is small, but very clean, and perfect for two people. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return!

Surf Shack! Carolina Beach Amazing Location!
Wonderful stay at the Surf Shack. The condo is located within a short walk to the beach, and the boardwalk which has restaurants and shops. We love that everything you need is within walking distance. Shelley was very friendly, provided great check in details and responded to my questions quickly. Also, the condo was clean, organized, and beautiful. We look forward to staying again.

Oceanfront Condo in Heart of Wrightsville Beach
For being a last minute trip to Wrightsville beach, Matthew made it easy with his excellent communication and instructions. The place is centrally located, an easy walk to coffee, restaurants and bars. The views of the beach/ocean are perfect and the condo was very clean. If you are looking for a place to stay in Wrightsville I'd recommed staying at Matthew's place.

Egret ~ Beachfront Cottage (pet-Friendly)
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!

Coastal, riverview + walkable condo with parking!
Sara’s place was amazing, the view of the river and water street from the balcony was incredible, the location can’t be beat for exploring downtown Wilmington, the river walk is only a few steps away from your front door, you have all the best restaurants and coffee shops and bars in downtown Wilmington within a few blocks of you, I took the riverwalk all the way to the concert I went to at live oak and really enjoyed the whole experience. Not to mention the unit itself was very well put together and super nice and my significant other really loved the interior design aspects. It made it tough for us to leave and go out and explore downtown because we wanted to enjoy the unit, so we were torn lol. Everything was great the location is tucked away on the river but still in the heart of the hustle and bustle. The only small issue we had was parking, even with the parking pass we had trouble finding parking all the lots were full both days we were there, so you may end up having to pay for

The Bird’s Nest- Private Attic Apartment
Staying at the nest was so enjoyable! I was only here for a night but wish I could stay longer! Yes the ceilings are short but it felt cozy and homey. Dylan was very responsive the whole time! Random note is that the couch was so comfortable!

Surf's Up at Island Breeze of CB
Staying at this Airbnb was great! Theres a ton to do right within walking distance. The housekeepers were incredibly friendly and were willing to hello with anything needed at anytime. I will definitely be back!

Papaya's Beach Retreat: Pool, 1.5 mi to beach!
Beautiful spot, walkable, clean and great hosts!

Lucky Seacret • Bright & Beachy Near It All
Great little beach house, it was cozy and relaxing. We stayed for 6 nights and it had everything we needed for a great beach vacation. This was the cleanest AirBnB I have stayed in at CB. It was an easy 6-7 minute walk to the beach and boardwalk. The patio is so relaxing in the morning and at night. We would definitely stay again.

Private Tiny Home in the Woods!
To stay at the Cabin at Rabbit Run is a wonderfully rustic and peaceful experience. My partner and I settled in easily with her detailed instructions, and were able to enjoy our short visit in Wilmington. I highly suggest visiting this location!

High Tide at CB - 75 steps to Beach Access
This place was perfect for a beach getaway. Literally steps from the beach, several great restaurants just as close, and the Boardwalk is a very short 5 minute walk away. Will definitely be back.

Blue Crab Cove A Gorgeous Beachfront Home!
Great location. We enjoyed our stay!

A lovely beach house - spotlessly clean with simple yet charming decor. Great location in a quiet road a five minute walk from the beach and nearby bars and restaurants.

☼Vitamin Sea 1 Block From The Beach☼
We had a relaxing time at the beach. The place was clean and we had everything that we needed. The location is fantastic and everything was smooth checking in and checking out

Serendipitous Studio - Entire Place
As all other mentions in the overwhelmingly positive reviews have stressed, this was a favorite. The friendly, experienced Hosts take great pride in their property and this guesthouse. Everything adds up to an exceptional experience. Don't let the 'pet friendly' policy give you pause if you are not traveling with 4-legged friends, the property is spotlessly cleaned and maintained. The location is wonderful, away from the hustle bustle but within a short drive to the local attractions and beaches. Our only suggestions would be to add a small patio table and chair set for guests to enjoy their morning coffee in the beautiful yard while ther dogs frolic and perhaps a propane grill. We certainly would not hesitate to return or reccommend this lovely AirBnB if you are in the Wilmington area. Thank you Nate!

2nd Floor Modern Coastal Hot Tub
Cute Airbnb we had a great weekend trip

The Love Shack
We had a lovely stay while visiting family and friends in the Wilmington area. Both Jeffrey and Laura were gracious and friendly. A great value for the area. Highly recommend the Love Shack!

Rise and Shine! Beach, pool, & amazing views!
Beautiful beach front property! The condo was extremely clean and had a gorgeous view. Only a few steps until the ocean! Harmony had the condo fully stocked with all of the necessities, such as beach towels, beach chairs, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. Also, Harmony was extremely responsive and was great to communicate with. The outdoor patio area that overlooked the ocean was a big plus. I would definitely stay here again!

2br/1ba on Lumina Ave - Steps to everything!
The perfect place to stay on Wrightsville beach. A block from the beach and close to all the local restaurants and bars. The hosts were responsive and thorough. The Airbnb had everything you could need and was well thought out and very clean. Cannot wait to stay there again!

2nd row from the ocean! Next to food and cafes
Absolutely the cutest little apartment! It is the best location on wrightsville beach to me - and I loved it! Also, Laura is incredibly responsive and it was easy to find everything. 10/10.

Your guide to Wrightsville Beach
Introduction
Encompassing an island as well as its namesake beach, North Carolina’s Wrightsville Beach is one of the oldest established beach communities in the country, first documented in the 1720s. Its origins as a tourist town go back to 1889, when the area railroad company built tracks from neighboring Wilmington across the Banks Channel to transport visitors to the ocean. Bolstered by its natural beauty and yacht club, which is one of the oldest in the country, Wrightsville Beach began to draw regular vacationers, and an entertainment-driven construction boom followed. In the early 1900s, massive hotels opened with dance halls and entertainment, making the small beach town a tour stop for popular big bands. Though Wilmington’s neighboring beaches, Carolina Beach and Kure Beach, are well known for watersports and recreation, Wrightsville Beach maintains its family-friendly allure, picture-perfect beach, and centuries-old history as one of the most appealing oceanfront destinations on the East Coast.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Wrightsville Beach
Wrightsville Beach has a subtropical climate characterized by mild winters, with highs in the mid-50s Fahrenheit, and hot, humid summers with highs in the lower 90s. Summers can be sticky, pushing the area’s heat index toward 100 degrees at its peak, perfect for playing in the water. The push and pull of warm Atlantic Ocean waters in relation to storm system tracks puts Wrightsville Beach at risk of tropical storms. If you’re traveling during hurricane season, which peaks in September, pay extra attention to local weather reports.
Top things to do in Wrightsville Beach
Johnnie Mercers Fishing Pier
Constructed in the 1930s and nearly destroyed after a series of hurricanes in the 1990s, Johnnie Mercers Fishing Pier was rebuilt in 2002 from reinforced concrete and is open 24/7 year-round. The modern pier is plenty wide for the crowds who walk it, and multiple spots accommodate the scores of anglers casting their lines on any given day — or night, as after-dark fishing is popular here.
Wrightsville Beach Park
Located in the heart of town and bordered by water in all directions, this family-friendly park attracts locals for tennis, basketball, soccer, and volleyball, and kids of all ages to its colorful playground. It’s also host to special events throughout the year, including Wrightsville Beach’s summer concert series.
The Loop
Circling the interior of the island, this 2.5-mile fitness trail runs through the heart of Wrightsville Beach in the center of town, straddling the mainland and the namesake beach. It’s especially popular with runners, walkers, and dog-walkers. Fantastic views abound.
