One Bedroom Condo Minutes From the Beach
This was our first Airbnb experience since selling our timeshare last year. Andres & Emily made everything easy! Great check in and check out instructions. The condo was very clean, with all of the amenities they listed in their description. The bed was clean and comfortable and the living room was nicely decorated with a couch, coffee table and television. Highly recommend eating at Island Burger and Pops Diner, which are nearby. The boardwalk was only 2 blocks over. I also found a beautiful starfish necklace (I've been looking for a nice one for awhile) at a boutique called Salty Chic...very cool store located in the Publix shopping center. Overall, we had a wonderful vacation and would also highly recommend Andres And Emily's condo, especially for a couple.

Tranquil Oceanfront Retreat on the beach
Great place! The location was fabulous. The space was nicely decorated and beautifully maintained.

Take a Break at Shore Break!
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!

A-Street Hideaway
The location of this rental cannot be beat. I lived in Wrightsville for 6 years so I knew the location was stellar. The house however luckily lived up to the location. We basically only slept here, but it was a great price for what you get. It is one block past the noisy bar area, you hear nothing from the bars down the Main Street but it’s so close to walk to dinner. Also very close to walk to the beach. The AC works very well!! The beds are comfortable, pillows could be better, but I always bring my own. Water pressure is great in the shower. I will definitely be considering staying here in the future.

Vintage Beach Bungalow Surf Shack
This Airbnb has so much charm and character! The kitchen was stocked with all the spices and condiments we needed, especially for cooking seafood. There are so many little activities included. For example; a sound system, card games, and outdoor equipment (chairs, skim board, shovel). Sam is a wonderful host, very attentive. One evening, a small situation came up and he responded to our message immediately. In fact, he showed up to help at 11 pm! We truly enjoyed our stay. Wrightsville is such a special place. I highly recommend staying here if you are ever in town!

THE LOFT - 1 Block to beach with office space
We really enjoyed our stay here! The Loft was just like the pictures—beautiful and clean! We would absolutely stay here again. It is located in a great spot we were able to take a short walk to a couple restaurants, as well as the beach. The hosts had very precise details on check in and check out, they made everything very easy for us. Highly recommend staying here!

2 mins to beach - Pets OK - Kitchenette - W/D
My family and I enjoyed our weekend at Skipper’s place. It was a nice area in a wonderful friendly neighborhood. The walk to the beach wasn’t very long and the place had all the amenities you could need. Would recommend to a couple staying in the area!

Free Cart w/Parking Pass, Sleeps 4, close to Beach
Cute , quiet beachy apartment, 2 blocks from the beach, restaurants and lots of stuff to do. The golf cart was the greatest amenity. Host was friendly, responsive and helpful. VERY WORTH IT ! Would totally stay again.

25 West Upstairs
Look no further! Brandon’s place was excellent for our family weekend in Wrightsville. This will be our go-to going forward!

After Dune Delight
A great place by the beach. Phenomenal view of the ocean with easy access to the beach. The descriptions matched perfectly. Place was spotless clean and contained all necessary amenities. Couldn’t have asked for anything better!

The Modern Farmhouse of Art in Ogden
This was a wonderful housing experience! The house was cozy and clean and had plenty of space for all the members of our family. It was in a fantastic location that was extremely convenient for us to get to stores and restaurants. Would 10/10 recommend. Kermit and Amy instructions were very clear, and they answered my questions right away, …A very attentive host team.

Modern 3BR w/Fenced Yard –Walk to Cargo & Downtown
We really enjoyed our stay , we were looking for a place close to Live Oak Pavilion and this was the perfect spot an easy 6 min drive . About 25-30 minutes to the beach. Be prepared to pay for parking at the beach . $60.00 was a bit of a surprise, but no reflection on our host or our stay here. Everything was as pictured. Very well maintained , beds slept well . It was a win, win, for myself and 2 other couples. We would definitely recommend to our friends.

Beach Bum Rest & Relax (With Salt Pool)
We really enjoyed staying here. The pool was great. The house is within minutes from several restaurants and just a 15 minute drive to the beach. The house is as described and shown in photos. Gennaro was very responsive and quick to answer any questions. Thanks for having us!

Family-Friendly 4 BR Close to Wrightsville Beach
Ariana was an absolute incredible host. She was kind and responsive and very proactive on answering any of our questions. This house has an incredible feel to it and she had everything you could possibly need! We will definitely be staying here again 💜

The Frenchie House, 4 Bedrooms, All King Beds
The Frenchie was fantastic and we loved staying here! The neighborhood felt safe and the back yard was a huge bonus with kids. There was one bedroom separated from the others, which ended up being perfect for my brother, who doesn’t have kids and appreciated the privacy and quiet. I would absolutely stay here again during our next trip to Wilmington.

Midtown Retreat: Beach or Downtown
Shawn’s place was great! Very well maintained and had everything needed! Was in a great location. Will definitely stay again!

1 BR Condo - Water Views - 2 Min Walk to Beach
Beautiful view of ICW and ocean from your own personal deck! The deck furniture got an upgrade and are two Adirondack high chairs (comfy!) but no table. Only a mile away from the downtown area of Carolina beach, perfect if you love a little bike ride to get to breakfast or dinner. About 20-30 min to downtown Wilmington. Very short walk to the beach, easy to pop back for lunch or the bathroom. Host gave excellent recommendations for local events and restaurants. Provided ample soaps, towels, and detergent. AC worked great and they had an extra fan for the bedroom with darkening blinds. Recommendations for other guests: If you plan to cook know that the kitchen has VERY BASIC kitchen tools/supplies. Beach chairs were Tommy bahama (woo!) but umbrella was broken and other guests haven’t taken good care of other supplies. Bed has a memory foam topper and I’d suggest bringing your own pillow, they have super thick or super thin.

Shell of a Vibe Beach Condo - Oceanfront and Chill
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

Wrightsville Beach Surf Shack with Oceanfront View
Exactly as advertised. Perfect for our needs over a Memorial Day weekend. Detailed instructions provided which made things easy and boosted confidence in the transaction. Thoughtful recommendations provided by the Payton.

Doubleview Delight- Ocean and Lake Views!
We loved James' place! Easy walk to the beach. Nice paved walking path across the street that goes around the lake. The space was clean and comfortable.

Carolina Beach Boardwalk w/ Ocean & Marina View!
I had a fantastic stay at this Carolina Beach condo! The view was absolutely stunning—waking up to the ocean right outside and seeing the lights of the nearby carnival at night was such a treat. The location couldn’t be better: just steps from the beach, surrounded by delicious local food spots, and walking distance to all the action. The included parking was a huge bonus and made things super convenient. The condo itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing getaway. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy the best of Carolina Beach. I’d love to come back!

Wrightsville Beach Charmer with Ocean View!
This is a great location for access to the beach and restaurants. We walked everywhere. We appreciated the stocked supplies and beach chairs available to us. Robi was super responsive and friendly. We would stay here again!

❤️of Carolina Beach / Ocean views / Steps to sand⛱
Thoroughly enjoyed my brief stay. Only wish it had been for longer. You can’t beat the location, without exaggeration, it’s truly about as convenient as it gets. Beach, shops, food, covered private parking, the property is situated directly over an eatery and immediately adjacent to a coffee shop. All good stuff!

Beautiful Ocean Front Condo!
Renee and Bill were awesome. I messed up my travel dates, and they really worked with me. A+ The place is awesome, we dined on the desk every meal, which has a great view of the ocean. You don't need to rent chairs or an umbrella, they have it all, including a great beach wagon to haul everything you need to the beach. Recently remodeled, the place was spotless. Also the most comfortable mattress of any place I've rented, hands down. We will be renting this place again, I don't think you can do better.
