Dulaney's Retreat close to Wrightsville Beach
The place was as advertised and worked well for our needs. All amenities were well met. The kitchen served nicely as it had induction stovetop, convection toaster oven, microwave, full refrigerator, and kuerig coffee maker. Bathroom was clean and access was good. She had outdoor lighting triggered for night time arrivals and comings and goings. The bed and furniture was more than adequate. Shower was spacious and well stocked. We had initial slight concern about accessing through the backyard, which we were told the dog used, but we only saw the dog once in our 3 day stay and it was quite calm and kept to it's own business and did not intrude upon us in any way so a non-issue in our opinion. As senior retirees we would stay here again and felt comfortable and safe.

Lovely Little Beach Guest House
Candy and Dan were excellent hosts and went out of their way to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. You know you have found a great place when you feel like you are staying at home. Candy and Dan's place has everything you need to enjoy Kure Beach and the surrounding area. We loved our visit and hope to be back soon!

Studio Aerie
This was SUCH a cute and perfect space. It is very clean, in a wonderful/safe neighborhood, and close to everything. I would highly recommend this spot. Donna is very responsive and a wonderful host!

1866 Historic Downtown Home STL2019-0279
Very close to everything downtown yet was able to just relax in the peaceful surroundings. Very clean and looked exactly like the pictures. Would definitely recommend.

Pond View Loft Apt
Sarah was a very attentive host! She gave us great local recommendations and was always responsive. They even replaced the record player so my teens could listen to them. Would highly recommend staying here!

Seagate by Wrightsville - Kayak & Foam Surf Board
My friends and I had a wonderful time at Kamaron’s AirBnB! It is a beautiful and very well decorated place, and you can tell they put a lot of thought into all the amenities. It is in a quiet neighborhood and has a deck to sit outside. The grill was fun to use as well to make meals ahead of time for our beach day! Kamaron was very friendly to tell us about the best places to go to see the sunset on Wrightsville beach, and she said to let her know if we needed anything at all. Would recommend to friends and would love to come back in the future!

Bird's Eye View - downtown, quiet, pet friendly
Jason’s place was a great little place for my husband and I to stay at while visiting Wilmington. Clean and comfortable with a cute little check in basket and note. The house was clean and the neighborhood was quiet with sidewalks for walking the pup. Pretty close to downtown Wilmington so that was nice. Jason was quick to respond to recommendations for food/ sights. We enjoyed the porch and people watching at night. Would stay here again.

Seagate Guesthouse Cottage Apartment - NEAR BEACH!
The lodging was very clean and beautifully decorated. The location was great. There were many wonderful restaurants nearby, the beach was close, and there were many options for things to do. A terrific weekend getaway!

Romantic Weekend in Historic Wilmington
Wow! What an amazing place and a great host. My wife and I were looking for a spot to celebrate our 16th anniversary and take in all the history of Wilmington. Jane’s place was in a beautiful historic house, in such a great location for us to walk everywhere we wanted to go and see all the historic houses, close to the River walk and all the restaurants and shops. We absolutely enjoyed all the details in Jane’s place, easy parking, easy entry, quiet location, great communication with the host. We felt right at home and absolutely adored staying there. I can’t recommend this place enough and will look forward to staying here again. Thank you!

Pelican Point - NEW build and between beaches!
Was a perfect week stay for our family. The home was exactly as pictured, had all the amenities we could possibly need, and stayed cool in the humid and hot North Carolina summer. Would definitely come back!

Private Queen Studio ~10min to downtown & beach
Our stay at Piper’s Paradise was wonderful. The space is a beautiful, clean, and well organized studio apartment with everything that you might need. My granddaughter loved the pull down Murphy bed! There is a full kitchen, which was a big plus. We enjoyed being close to the beach and other attractions such as bowling, mini golf, downtown Willmington, local museums, and restaurants. Jeremy is a very responsive host and Piper is a sweetheart. We give it a 10/10 and we definitely recommend booking your stay at Piper’s Paradise.

Pool House Cabana with Jacuzzi
Loved the little house. Super tidy had free snacks and drinks well stocked its water bottles AND alcohol. Soooo many DVDS close to a walmart and the beach. pool was clean and hot tub was very nice. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!!!

Midtown Bungalow: Near UNCW, Beach, Golf+ Downtown
Great communication from cheerful owner. Lovely place! Perfect size. Had everything I needed. I’ve often wished handheld shower heads were standard features in all Airbnbs, so I really appreciated the one here. From the photos, I didn’t expect the outdoor chairs to be so comfy, so that was a nice surprise, too. Shortly after my arrival, I was greeted by a handsome, friendly, white cat with black spots. He was a complete gentleman, accepting head pets without rubbing himself all over my pants. He never tried to sneak inside. Pay attention to the instructions for the front door. The digital lock is easy and it’s not difficult to open or close the door from the outside if you pull it toward you and turn the knob correctly. Still, reading the clear advice makes it a lot faster to figure out. This surprisingly quiet place is just off the two major roads that take you almost everywhere you’d enjoy. Restaurants, and grocery stores nearby. Walk through the park to visit a fun bottle shop. ?

Private Pool House!
Christi's place was a perfect weekend getaway! The pool house was spotless & super charming. So appreciate when hosts include plenty of extra towels & blankets. Robes were a nice touch + the pool & outdoor shower were an extra special plus for this area. We walked or biked to the beach access & restaurants to get around. You really don't need your car once you arrive unless you want to go to a more elevated restaurant outside of Carolina Beach. We hardly did any research on CB before arriving & loved the casual nature of everything but took our car out one of the nights for dinner. The beach bikes & the bed could be upgraded but overall the other perks of the accommodations outweighed this & we would recommend Christi's place.

Hidden Haven
My wife and I enjoyed a brief stay, primarily focused on exploring Wilmington. The location was tranquil and easily accessible.

Southport Tree Escape * King Studio Near Downtown
Ginga was an excellent and flexible host. When we sought to push our stay forward 2 days due to flooding in Southport, she accommodated our request immediately. The Southport Tree Escape was newly renovated. We appreciated the contemporary, organized and clean atmosphere. It was quiet and peaceful, yet right on the edge of town. This was the first place we have ever encountered with numerous QR codes posted on the walls for instant instructions. In addition, we downloaded Ginga’s app so we could take information and instructions with us. The efficiency style apartment was perfect for 2 people. If we ever make it back to Southport, we would love to stay there again. Thank you, Ginga.

Sunny Bungalow Loft in Historical Downtown
This is one of the most beautiful and serene Airbnbs my fiancé and I have ever stayed in. The neighborhood is quiet, the interior decor is magical and cozy, and Su was so kind and accommodating of our early check-in request. The amenities were also top-notch - from the linen sheets to the high end shower head. We wanted to know every brand so we could buy it for our own home. Anytime we visit Wilmington we will look to see if we can stay here again!

Adorable 2 Bedroom Guest Cottage in Wilmington, NC
Attention to detail was wonderful, everything for a comfortable stay was thought of. Loved all the different types of lighting and variety of breakfast items. It was also VERY homey!

Creekside Crofter- private retreat
An absolute GEM! So glad we stayed here! The studio is so clean and comfy and in such a great central spot of Wilmy. We also saw lots of great fish, crabs, and birds off of the dock! Would recommend to anyone!!

The Caddy Shack
The Caddy Shack was literally perfect for our stay and an ideal location for what we wanted. The beach was 10 minutes away and anything we wanted to do in Wilmington was only 15 minutes away. The house is cozy and we loved the fenced in patio for our pup with the tv and lights. (the golf game they have out there is addicting! Lol. ) Blair was super nice and responsive for any questions I had. We will definitely be back!

Close Enough
My mom and my 2 little dogs stayed at Ryan's place for a week. The place was really nice and clean and looked just as it does in the pictures. Easy to find and no issues with check in. The surrounding area is really nice and peaceful and great for walking my dogs every day. Easy to get to the beach and restaurants. Really enjoyed our stay. The larger bed in one of the bedroom was super comfortable and there were plenty of towels provided as well as beach towels and all the amenities that were needed for a week long stay. Ryan was a great host and easy to communicate with.
