Waterfront holiday rentals in Historic District, Wilmington

Can’t say enough great things about the host. Flexible check ins with a late arrival and was very responsive. The place itself was clean and in the heart of the town. Beautiful view of the river, and felt great to stay there. Could not recommend more for anyone staying in the Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach area!

Great place! The location was fabulous. The space was nicely decorated and beautifully maintained.

Great location and vibes, definite recommendation for anyone looking to explore the beach area!

The view the view the view! Listen to the beach your whole trip from your balcony. Comfortable, clean, convenient location, private and quiet! Excellent unit! We travel a lot and this was our favorite vacation spot ever!

We visited Wilmington for a concert at Live Oak Bank Pavilion. We enjoyed the restaurants and shops close by. Loved the view. Slept comfortably in the king bed. We would definitely stay here again. Oh, and the host is very responsive and helpful.

We had such a wonderful time at Mary Margaret's place! Being steps from the beach was incredibly convenient, making it so easy to enjoy the sun and sand whenever we wanted. We also really appreciated having a cool bar with great drink specials and live music just around the corner. The apartment itself has such a lovely bohemian beach feel, it's really well designed and so comfortable. We're definitely hoping to come back soon!

Kathleen's place was perfect for 4 of us who came to Wilmington for the weekend. She responded to all of our needs. The flat is located in the heart of the vibrant and trendy downtown Wilmington, even right above a bar. Kathleen anticipated our needs by providing ear plugs and eye masks, to assure we could sleep in each morning.

Perfect space for a beach getaway!

Travis and Amelia we're very attentive host, any questions or concerns I had they offered quick resolutions that put me at Ease. The airbnb is Beautiful and the Location is everything!! Would definitely recommend!! ❤️

Great stay. The houseboat was beautiful, pristine and easy to get to and from parking. The balcony was peaceful and all the amenities were there as advertised. Highly recommend staying here. The staff was responsive, easy to reach and friendly! 5/5 stars

We had the best time!! We were able to bring our boat and park it at the boat dock. I will say if you have a bigger boat I don’t know if you will be able to park there all weekend, but not a far drive at all to a boat ramp. The place was very clean and had all the things you will need! There is even dog toys and a bed! Betsy was super helpful and nice. We will definitely come and stay many more times.

stayed June 7th-14th 2025 and we had a great vacation. house was on the beach and walkable to the resturants and boardwalk. would recommend and stay again.

The condo was wonderful. The whole place felt fresh and clean. Mary Anne was a great host, and had everything covered! We so appreciated all of her thoughtfulness! And the view of the ocean and the private beach access was perfect! We really enjoyed our time there.

Loved our stay here! The walking distance to the beach was perfect for our family. The kitchen is also well stocked with pots/pans/etc which made family meals easy in the house. Lindsey was great with communication pre and post visit

Great location in south end - quiet, residential with beautiful gardens, a quick walk to the beach. Beautifully decorated house with authentic touches. Comfortable beds and super soft towels! Everything you could need for a vacation stay. Loved it!

great spot, super convenient to everything but very peaceful neighborhood

My husband and I came down for a quick couple days get away, and it was a perfect place to stay! Convenient to everything, steps from the beach, and very private and quiet. We enjoyed taking a dip in the pool after spending a couple hours on the beach! We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The beautiful balcony, space just as expected, responsive host, and all the essentials already there made our first family of 3 vacation with our little boy very enjoyable! We loved ordering dinner and eating on the patio to watch the sunset. The pool is clean and perfect after a day at the beach!

Beautiful condo with the boardwalk in walking distance and ocean front. Loved the rooftop lounge chairs, private and quiet. Pool was clean and relaxing. Will definitely be booking again!

This rental was exceptional ! We had a wonderful time and felt right at home. The cooking pans, cups, plates, utensils, oil, coffee made it very easy to be there!. It was clear this family just wanted us to share in the beauty of their convenient location to several beaches and fun, while being able to get away and enjoy the peaceful place. The linens were very clean! We had someone staying above us and never even heard their feet. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place.

Beautiful condo- clean, well stocked and comfy beds. We loved having the option to go back and forth from beach to pool, so everyone was happy!! The storage closet has everything you need for a great beach day. Loved sitting on the deck every morning and night. The host was super responsive and gave great instructions and recommendations on the area. Already planning our trip for next year!! Great place for families!! Thank you!!

We had fun and really enjoyed the easy access to beach and local restaurants.

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.

Beautiful spot, walkable, clean and great hosts!
