Audrey gave perfect instructions regarding how to find the unit, and getting in was extremely easy. We loved the peace and quiet around us and the walkability to several great restaurants.

★ Chic Riverside Condo-2 Blocks from Water-Parking

SandyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We enjoyed our stay here, it had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. Coby was very easy to communicate with and was always prompt in replying. The place was very easy to find, there was plenty of parking and it was in a great location! We never used the car once we arrived as we were able to walk everywhere. The place was super clean, super quiet and very secure. I especially liked the shower, it was amazing! I’d love to return to Wilmington and would definitely stay here again.

Steps to the Beach: Weekly Discounts

CharlesRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This cottage was the perfect spot for a long weekend over Easter. We only had 4 people and 2 dogs, so plenty of space for our crew. The location is awesome. It’s only steps from the beach making it easy to go back and forth as needed without any hassle. The added bonus was all beach chairs and towels were included helping to greatly lighten the packing load. The house was super clean, greatly stocked, and organized. This was a big plus! Lindsey and Billy were super with communication, friendly during our stay, and allowed some flexibility with check in/out. With a child at UNCW, I feel certain we’ll be back. Thanks for everything!

Carolina Beach Cabana Boardwalk and Beach Condo

MarissaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Sabine was an incredible host! She reached out after we checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. The cabana is street view but nothing can beat being so close to the beach. A few steps and you are on the boardwalk where you can go to the beach or go to a number of different bars, restaurants, dessert places. Parking was never an issue in the garage and I always felt very secure having coded for all the entry ways. Would definitely stay here again - 10/10 highly recommend!

Seaview Haven

WalterRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Excellent place to stay! Beautiful sunrises and sunsets, well worth the 32 steps up to the 3rd level (2nd floor + parking level on stilts). You can see the waves crashing on the beach unlike the 2nd level. J’nell very responsive to our requests. Make sure to eat at Michael’s with great daily specials during off season! Be sure to check out new Fort Fisher museum. Ferry port to Southport is only 15 minutes away. Highly recommend this condo and would definitely come back.
