Waterfront Studio Apartment
Let me start by saying the home is located in the heart of Jacksonville NC. The view is truly amazing! I felt safe, relax and at home. The home is equipped with everything that I needed. Melinda is a gem, she reached out with me a few times during my stay to make sure that I’m ok and have everything that I needed and also informed me the day she spotted dolphins were passing by. Love this place. Thank you Melinda for sharing your beautiful place.

Stunning Sunsets, Walkable Condo, Covered Parking
Great location for a Wilmington experience! We walked to breakfast, lunch, and dinner and enjoyed the beautiful view.

Take a Break at Shore Break!
The place was cute and quiet with a comfy bed and big window to listen to the waves! It was a perfect quiet getaway for me and my husband! Wendy was very quick to respond to any questions we had. If you are looking for a peaceful relaxing small town feel, this place would be perfect! I will say, you have to walk down a bit to get onto the beach as there was no access from the condo due to erosion, but we didn’t really mind that.

New! Oceanfront 2bd/2ba - Penthouse View!
We were very impressed with the condo! Clean and updated! Beach was steps away! We really liked decor and homey feel of everything! Felt more like walking into your home than anything! Highly recommend! Lauren is extremely fast to respond and always had the best and most helpful answers! Do not hesitate! You must go!!!!

Riverfront sunset balcony + free covered parking
Absolutely beautiful. My husband and I are bookmarking this and will definitely be back. We enjoyed having the convenience of being able to walk to bars and restaurants downtown. Also only 20 minutes from the beach!

Bogue Banks Retreat
Was a wonderful spot for our short stay. Felt right at home. Host was excellent.

Beautiful Waterway View w/parking *No service fee!
Booked this super late and Syndy was super fast and super responsive! Easy check-in and cozy place! Close to some great restaurants. Syndy was very kind in letting me check out later than the 10am which was very helpful. Would recommend this place to friends & family and will book again if I’m back in Wilmington. 5 stars!

River Retreat
Phenomenal rental!! Would highly recommend 🙂
Waterfront house rentals

Beachhouse-Private Dock & Boatslip
We stayed at Ric and Chelsea’s place for a week and everything was great! House was wonderful and exactly what our family needed. Lots of things to do at the house and in a very walkable location. Ric was very communicative. All around great stay.

Stylish Waterfront Home with Dock & Ocean Views
Great house for entertaining with plenty of seating areas. My family enjoyed cooking, grilling and fishing at the house. The beds were clean and comfortable. The backyard was big and had a scenic view of the water. We hope to stay again soon!

Beautiful waterfront home with private ramp/lifts
We always enjoy staying on this area. The view from the house was spectacular! We would definitely recommend staying here.

The Regency
Beautiful houseboat exactly like in the pictures. Being the end unit, it has the best view of the river and Battleship North Carolina. It also has better privacy and access convenience to the community picnic area. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Everything was perfect!

Oceanview - Waterfront w/ private dock
We really enjoyed our stay. All questions were answered in a timely manner. House was great. Really enjoyed the deck space. We also rented a golf cart and pick up and drop off were super simple.

Lake Escape - Lake Waccamaw
Had a great stay. House was as advertised. Worked up perfectly for a group of us to have our own space.

Waterfront Home with Private Boat Dock & Hot Tub
Our stay at Page's Creek Retreat was wonderful! The property exceeded our expectations. Jodi is an attentive host, responding to questions and offering suggestions when needed. The home was immaculate and provided the perfect space for our family gathering. The house is also close to grocery stores and restaurants. We could be at the beach in 20 minutes. Would definitely stay here again.

Intracoastal Waterway Cottage Boat Dock Fishing
Great place to stay and relax. Picked a place on the intercostal water to crab but only caught a few. Maybe August was too late. I liked how she had a lot of towels and labeled where things went in the kitchen. Plenty of stuff such as paper towel, trash bags, dish washer pods, and laundry pods, etc. I’ve rented places before where we had to go buy trash bags and other stuff for the stay.

Cozy Downtown Condo with River Views
Perfect spot for the two of us! Enjoyed walking around and eating on the cape fear river every night. Had a great time

Seas The Day w/ Fantastic Marina Views!
We have already recommended MK's place to some others - however, we did warn them that the unit was up 34 stairs! There was nothing in the property description to indicate that and for a couple of 73 year olds the climb with all our stuff was too much. Thankfully we had our young strong kids along! We always appreciate being able to bring our dog along, and he, along with the rest of us, totally enjoyed the 2 private balconies. The ac was plenty cold, the dryer not so hot. Beds comfortable, covered parking a plus, and we all enjoyed the pool. Location was the best, able to walk to every place, and that made it worth the 34 stair climb. Highly recommend Hang Ten Grill for huge salads and best wings ever, Salt Fish for yummy cocktails and deliciously unique entrees ( make a reservation), the Fat Pelican for a fun experience. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back!

Beautiful Cape Fear Riverfront Condo Wilmington NC
Great weekend getaway. Close to all of the shops and restaurants. Parking was a huge plus, felt comfortable leaving my car parked in the garage all weekend.

Getaway @ The Waterway Wrightsville Beach
Wonderful stay , would come back again. Very responsive host and let us know we could check in early . Perfect location on beautiful Wrightsville Beach ! Such a great space and comfortable.

River FRONT | SuperHost | Free Parking!
This was was located directly downtown making all the restraints and bars super accessible. It was so convenient to have the free parking. The view from the balcony was directly across from river and the WWII battleship, which my husband loved! Even being downtown, the area was still relatively quiet and would be a great place to bring kids!

Panoramic River view Downtown Condo w/Balcony
Great stay on the Cape Fear riverfront in Wilmington. Mike's condo was as described on airbnb, extremely clean, easy check in, etc. Great location - central to the historic downtown, and walkable to everything. Mike communicated everything from check-in to check-out clearly and attentively. Highly recommend, and would stay here again on my next trip to Wilmington NC.

DT~ Free parking~ Beach 20min~ Sunset river views
This place was awesome! It had beautiful views, was cozy, and in walking distance to EVERYTHING. The host is great and very helpful. We will definitely be booking here again.

Haus Of Style - Sunsets on the River - Parking
This condo was perfect! The location is amazing, walking distance to anything you’d want to do down town. The host was quick to respond to messages and accommodated us. Don’t second guess it, just rent this place and you won’t be disappointed!
