Family-friendly holiday rentals in Surf City

The beach house was clean and nicely furnished. We had ample room for seven adults. It could comfortably sleep 9 people since the day bed was large enough for an adult in the alcove area. We were disappointed that the bicycles and the kayaks at the house were locked and we could not use them. But we enjoyed the sound with the beautiful sunsets and the beach was a short walk from the house. All in all a great house and vacation!

Very nice place to stay! Would def stay again. Private and perfectly located in safe neighborhood.

Really great location. Friendly host. Clean and a very relaxing atmosphere, just across from the ocean.

Wonderful stay!! Perfect location for everything!

Hospitality beyond the norm and will make you feel like family.

Location is fantastic. Right on the beach. Wonderful view from the porch. Our family had a great stay. The condo is a little dated but for the location doesn’t matter all that much.

We had a fantastic stay at this beach house! The place was clean. We especially loved the peaceful mornings on the deck and the sound of the waves at night. We’ll definitely be coming back again!

I had an amazing stay at this beach rental house! The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day of fun in the sun. The house was spotless and well-maintained, which made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The host was exceptionally responsive and made sure we had everything we needed, from check-in to check-out. We appreciated the thoughtful initial items provided, which made settling in so easy. The location couldn't have been better—just a short walk to the beach and close to great restaurants, making it so convenient to enjoy everything the area has to offer. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic beach getaway!

We had a great overnight stay at April’s. The place was as described and perfect for my family of 4. The girls especially enjoyed the bunk beds and Jenga. The main bed was comfortable and I appreciated the small touches like extra shampoo and conditioner. The location is an easy drive to the beach or downtown. The self Check-in was very simple. We would definitely stay here again.

Tim’s place was exactly what I needed and I felt very fortunate to be able to get some dates there in June because it is beach time. I was able to enjoy Wilmington with my daughter and relax with my dog which was everything I was looking and hoping for! My dog Max also give’s Tim’s place a great rating! He felt at home right away! Time was present, neighborly and very responsive. I am hoping to go back in December!

This is best stay I’ve had at an Airbnb. Comfortable, quiet, safe for traveling alone, and hosts were just the best. Goldie the cat , who would’ve stayed out my way had I not enticed him with scritches and a few treats, was an added bonus for me. I booked a second consecutive week!

We love the pink flamingo! This is our second time staying at Cindy‘s home. Great location, spacious house. I truly love that. It’s a home away from home, when you reach for something, it’s almost there in the kitchen. Very equipped to make many meals. Our college age boys and wiener dog had a blast! Tons of games as well! We already booked for our next stay.

An absolute gem of a place. The photos don't do it justice. Doesn't matter if your a couple looking for a quiet getaway or a whole family going on vacation, the house will fit your needs. it's incredibly private, with a fully stocked kitchen. Our dogs had an absolute blast running around the yard. We don't often revisit Airbnbs after we stay, but I think we'll have to make an exception for this place

This is a great house and so close to the beach (right around the corner). We loved hanging out at the house and everything was comfortable. The house book has lots of great information and was helpful for our explorations of the island. It was everything we wanted for a week of taking it easy at the beach. The host and management are truly gracious and responsive. I would definitely stay here again!

What a unique place to stay. Beautiful place and beautiful property. Located in the suburbs, but with the feeling of being smack in the middle of a woods. Enjoyed sitting on the front porch listening to the frogs in the evening. The place was clean, well stocked, had a comfortable bed and was more than we expected. Would definitely consider staying there again!

Donovan’s Reef was the perfect house for our yearly mother daughter trip. We enjoyed how close to the beach we were and the beach access points, loved the outside shower to rinse off before going inside, kitchen had everything we needed, and the beds were super comfy! Check in and out was easy and Holly was super prompt with responding!

We had a great week long vacation! The pool was a hit with the kids, the house was clean and big enough for the two families who vacationed together. Diana was wonderful and responsive. I would absolutely stay again!

Me and my wife really enjoyed our stay. It was very relaxing and peaceful. Location was perfect Easy beach access and beautiful view!! Definitely coming back!

David and Kris were terrific hosts! They went out of their way to keep us informed of fun events happening around the island, which we greatly appreciated as it was our first time to BHI. The unit is just as pictured and beautifully renovated. Kitchen is expertly organized and has full array of cookware. The location is central on the island, making it a quick ride to the market, beach, club, etc. The surrounding live oaks and foliage are beautiful. I would definitely recommend! We will be back.

My wife and I wanted to try somewhere different since we normally go to the beach in Atlantic Beach. We decided to try Topsail. What a great decision. Missy's place was fantastic!! We found it to be exactly as advertised. It was very clean and comfortable. Conveniently located to local restaurants and activities. It was a very short walk to the pool and beach. And the VIEWS WERE SPECTACULAR!! Missy was a great host. She was very responsive and friendly. We would highly recommend it and will for sure be back ourselves. The only negative from our stay was having to leave!!

5 Star stay for long weekend. Pictures display a truly classy comfy townhouse that smells lovely and has everything you need. Bedrooms are spacious and linens are very comfortable. Perfect home with perfect location to beaches, restaurants, and shopping. Easy and clear instructions for check in and check out. Thank you John and Katie for our enjoyable experience. Looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend.

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.

What a great vacation! It was our first time at Carolina Beach and we couldn't have asked for a better condo or spot on the island to stay. The condo was comfy and had everything we needed, and the hosts were super responsive anytime we had questions. Having a private beach entry made for easy access and a less crowded area to hang out in all day. And, the condo is far enough away from the busy section of CB (by the boardwalk) to be quiet and peaceful, but close enough to walk there for meals. We would definitely return!

I cannot say enough positive words about this property. The best I have ever stayed in. Everything you could possibly want or need was available in the condo. All appliances were top of the line with extras as in blender, air fryer, everything. It was very well decorated with high end decor. Beautiful view, easy access to beach. Just a hop across street to a lovely beach. The balcony was comfortable and great for morning coffee and evening beverages and dinner. The parking was easy, we always had a covered spot for car. The pool was so nice and just a few steps away. The host was available for any information we wanted to ask as in restaurants, entertainment, etc. We will definitely be back.
