8 Min Walk to RiverWalk, Modern Newly Built Home
House was super nice, easy to find and get into. Hosts were very helpful and always responded fast. Definitely recommend staying for your trips to Wilmington!

Charming 2 bedroom with an amazing outdoor abode.
what an amazing space. Always found parking right in front. the house was beautiful and comfortable. the backyard has an amazing vibe. Quiet street would never know you were downtown. Thank you for a great week.

Beach House Getaway
This was our third stay with Tony and as always, the whole process was seamless and stress free. He made sure we had all of the instructions we needed for check in, using the property and check out. It’s especially nice to be able to bring our dog with us and have a nice fenced area to use. Our stay was wonderful as always and we’ll be back for Christmas vacation.

Mini Midtown Guesthome - Minutes to everything!
Great stay. Place was clean and as described and the host was responsive and easy to work with.

2BR/1B cottage minutes to downtown, beach
The house is in a great location, convenient to the downtown attractions without the city noise. Thank you for the extra touches, snacks and bottle of wine. Fantastic for the dog to have the fenced back yard and we found the bed very comfortable. Thanks for a great stay!

The Rose of Wilmington
Margaret’s place is high on my list of favorite places to stay! The home was perfect for having a relaxing and comfortable place to stay, along with a lovely backyard to read a book or nap in the sunshine. The kitchen was a great place to cook & eat meals. If you’re a walker, the neighborhood is perfect! I loved walking around and looking at the houses, + meeting neighbors & neighborhood dogs - everyone is so friendly! A true charm.

Esther's Garden Between Historic Downtown & Beach
We love the location and even though it is close to a main road it is still private and comfortable. The fenced yard is perfect for your dogs with plenty of space for them to stretch. The back deck is comfortable as well. The inside of the house is exactly as shown, it is comfortable and quiet , the big screen TV is perfect after a a busy day in Wilmington. You can walk to Whole Foods , shopping or just around this neighborhood. The neighbors are friendly and welcoming and enjoy visiting with you and your dogs . The gardenias and magnolias were in bloom and lent a light sweet smell. We would definitely stay at Esthers Garden again.

Hill Street Bungalow-Fenced Backyard~Spring Rates!
This stay is absolutely amazing. Mary is a great and very responsive host that made sure we feel right at home. The place itself is absolutely beautiful, freshly renovated and has everything we needed. We will definitely come back when we revisit Wilmington! Big Plus: Downtown is only 8 minutes away and we had no issues with parking. (try the pay by plate street parking, not the lots they charge you an arm and a leg). Street parking is also free after 8pm! For dog owners: The yard is huge and your pup will love it! only area so be a little careful of is the left gate (looking from the street towards the house) as there's a small gap underneath. We didn't have any issues with it at all, just if your dog is an escape artist you may want to place something in front of it.
Pet-friendly home rentals with a pool

Ocean View! No Pet Fee! Come Relax @ The Escape CB
We loved being so close to the beach, the pool, and the pier. Pier bar drinks and service were great! We recommend the Bahama Mama and The Painkiller. The condo was very clean and inviting. The deck was perfect for our morning croissants and fresh fruit with coffee. We enjoyed watching the waves and listening to seabirds as they soared above the sea. Just a short drive to the Boardwalk gave us some great shopping and restaurants. We recommend Britt’s donuts. Don’t buy just one -cash only! Matthew was the perfect host! He answered my questions quickly and checked in to see if we needed anything. Perfect week for us to rest and relax!

Morning brew with an ocean view
We had a wonderful time staying in Andrew’s place and would stay again!

Coastal Retreat
This condo is a peaceful, hidden gem! Views from the front and back deck and a perfect little beach right across the street. We loved it!

Waterway View Studio(Pool, King, close to Beach)
Location, location, location…walkable and affordable best of both worlds. Recommend renting bikes from shady rentals to get to the beach quickly without the hassle of parking.

Papaya's Beach Retreat: Pool, 1.5 mi to beach!
I absolutely loved staying here! It was peaceful & very nice. The hosts were so friendly and nice. I most definitely will be coming again!

Stylish condo/Cozy Balcony/Pool
This was the prefect place for a quick weekend getaway! Host was very easy to communicate with and had a lovely home to stay in! Close access to several public beach access along with the pool! Definitely will be going back in the future again!

POOL HAUS- 5 Bedroom Home Minutes to Beach
We had such a great stay!!! This house is in an amazing location so close to Wrightsville Beach. The house offers so many comfortable rooms to sleep in and has an amazing backyard with the pool and yard space to have fun and enjoy. Would definitely stay here again!

Oceanfront- 2nd floor- near boardwalk- POOL OPEN
Great location! We enjoyed how close this condo is to the boardwalk while being far enough to have a quieter stay. Great place for a couple or small family to enjoy with their beach-loving pup.

Blue House
My husband and I stayed here so we were within walking distance of live oak pavilion and it was the perfect location, only a 15 minute walk. Great amount of space for 2 people and had a large screened in porch area with plenty of seating for you to enjoy your morning coffee or evening cool down. Kitchen has many appliances if you’re trying to cook a meal, shampoo/conditioner/body wash were provided in the shower, and there were plenty of extra blankets for someone like me who is always cold. When we first arrived I wasn’t sure if we were supposed to go through the back or front door (half the house is closed off to the owner, but you don’t hear/see them), but after a message to the owner, he very quickly was able to help me. If we go to more concerts, we will definitely be staying here again. As a bonus, I stupidly left my favorite cup at the house and after contacting the host, he offered to ship it to me. Thank you Charles for going above and beyond

Studio on Market & Front Downtown ILM
We really enjoyed our stay as we were looking for a place that was central to all of the activity and shopping, and boy did this fit the bill. Very clean and comfortable and our host Summer was incredibly responsive. We drove into the historic district, parked within 200 feet from the apartment with the pass provided, and did not have to drive again until we checked out to leave. This place is right in the sweet spot for everything going on there including all the dining and shopping.

Historic DT District | Firepit | Turf Yard | Patio
Check in was very simple, good communication our entire stay. We relied on the host guide for food recommendations, and had two amazing meals at places we had not been to before. When we asked about alternate beaches, they responded immediately with suggestions, kept in touch with us the entire trip. The neighborhood is very walkable and close to all things Riverfront. We enjoyed being in the historic area, were able to appreciate mansions, and local pubs. Would definitely stay here again!

Downtown Charmer 1 ( Lower Level )
I had a great, though brief, stay at this home. It was comfortable, well-supplied, in a fantastic neighborhood. Walkable to Riverwalk, friendly neighborhood, the letter carrier even stopped to give my dogs a treat. Great vibe. The house was really comfortable, and check-out was easy. I would love to return.

Haven @ The Cove Riverwalk Villas
What a perfect little getaway this was! Not only was the cove so peaceful, the view was amazing. My family and I truly enjoyed being there. It was hard to leave when the time was up. Erin was so thoughtful and took time to make me and my husband and pup feel right at home! We will definitely be back! Thank you so a great trip

The Local Gem | Non-Toxic Stay in Downtown ILM
Location is great and the unit had everything we could need. It is a bit on the small side (think hotel room/small studio) but we were out enjoying the town all day and didn’t hang out in the room much. Parking pass came in so handy and Jess was very quick to respond with any questions. Would definitely stay here again.

Bright, comfortable and stylish
We booked for a weekend trip to explore Wilmington and have a get away! Our trip was great as the airbnb was conveniently minutes to downtown, Ubers were easy to book. We plan on staying here yearly! It’s so nice to find great hosts who were very accommodating and responsive.

Downtown | Gorgeous | Pet Friendly!
One of the nicest Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. The location was perfect… close to everything but still quiet and relaxing. The space was modern, spotless, and clearly well cared for. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay here again.
