Clean, cozy, lovely views, beach access, and more!
The Seahorse Castle was perfect for 2! Clean, plenty of dishes and kitchen must haves, a soakable sized tub, decorated with beachy vibes, and just as described. If you have 4x4 I recommend Fort Fisher to drive out and set up on the beach. We had an amazing time, ate good food, heard live music, went to CB market around the lake Saturday morning, and can’t wait to return! Jeanette’s place will always be special to us, we got engaged! 💕 Kelly & Pauly

Tranquil Oceanfront Retreat on the beach
Great place! The location was fabulous. The space was nicely decorated and beautifully maintained.

Ola Verde
Great place to stay! Jarrod and his wife were very friendly and responsive with any questions on the app. They even let us check in early. Accommodating bikes was so thoughtful and fun for us as we biked to coffee places and lunch. We kayaked to palm tree island and that was so much fun! It’s also a great location to walk to the beach as well! The balcony was so peaceful in the morning and at night. 10/10 experience and first time vacationing to Wilmington. Will 100% come back!

Take a Break at Shore Break!
We spent a beautiful and relaxing week at Wendy & Jeff's Seascape. The place is EXACTLY like the photos, the view from the balcony is a dream!! Waking up to the ocean sounds every morning is something we will never forget. The apartment is very well-stocked with all the items you need to enjoy the beach, clean up afterward (lots of hot water and good shower pressure!) and cook a delicious meal (plenty of kitchen gadgets). Very easy to walk around the neighborhood, up to the pier for quick eats, or less than a mile to the little mini-mart. Parking is easy. Area is safe. The pool area across the street was clean and fun too! The hosts gave excellent, clear instructions for arrival/departure and even checked in on us via the app during our stay. Thank you so much, Wendy & Jeff!

Shell of a Vibe Beach Condo - Oceanfront and Chill
It was our 40th anniversary and we decided that we wanted to go to our favorite beach in North Carolina. We could see the ocean from this apartment and a very short walk to the beach. Enjoyed sleeping on the beds and having 2 bathrooms were fantastic. AC was great and water pressure in shower, was too. They had everything you needed and didnt lack on the supplies. It was a memorable vacation that we will never forget. Thanks Curtis

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.

Heart of the Action Studio in Downtown Wilmington!
We had a wonderful stay at Audrey’s place while stopping in Wilmington for our Honeymoon! The parking pass to the parking garage was a HUGE amenity for us. We walked everywhere our entire stay. Audrey provided very informative instructions on getting into the building/unit but it was still a bit confusing. However, we felt very safe knowing there were multiple locked doors between us and the public. The space was very clean and comfortable. Although we were below a rooftop bar and in the heart of downtown Saturday night bar crawls, Audrey’s white noise machine made it to where we slept with no issues. Overall, we would highly recommend staying here and would stay here again if we return to Wilmington.

Malibu @ The Cove Riverwalk Villas
our stay was excellent! we enjoyed the location, the privacy, and the quiet! I will definitely stay again

Studio on Market & Front Downtown ILM
Had a great experience in Wilmington at Summer’s place. She was very accommodating and responsive. The apartment is right in downtown Wilmington with plenty of cool bars/restaurants in walking distance. Would stay again when in town!

Catching Sunsets on the Cape Fear River w/ Parking
Staying at this beautiful Airbnb overlooking the Cape Fear River was delightful! From the moment we booked, the communication was flawless—responsive, friendly, and the guidebook was incredibly helpful. Every question we may have had was answered. The host went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and prepared for our trip. What really sets this stay apart is the impeccable attention to detail. From the cozy, well-appointed decor to the thoughtful touches everything was clearly chosen with care and intention. You can tell the host genuinely wants guests to have the best possible experience. This Airbnb is the perfect balance of luxury, comfort, and convenience. We’re already planning our next visit.

Riverfront Retreat in Historic Wilmington
We came into Wilmington to see The Black Keys in concert and have never been to this part of NC before so we were very pleased to see this listing. What sold us was the location and water view and the apartment exceeded our expectations. Everything was clean, equipped with everything we needed and we were close to everything. It's a lovely place to stay and if we ever return to Wilmington we will want to stay there again.

Sol + Sage Studio | Downtown
Great place and great location. A lot of nice coffee shops, resturants, and bars. The Oak Pavillion was a close walk so no need to spend money on a ride share app. Bathroom had great water pressure and the laundry unit being right there was nice to warm a towel for post-shower. Parking was a little confusing but Ann st next to the church after the median on 3rd st was free parking. It was 3 blocks away uphill but parking was safe there the whole time and all amenities were close so you can leave your car and walk most everywhere. Great place to stay if you're visiting wilmington or (like we did) going to a concert.

Downtown ilm Cozy|Clean | Walkable |Nightlife
