Oceanfront Condo-1A-Pet Friendly! Linens Provided!
The place was as described, a great deal and right in the ocean's edge. Amanda's responded quickly when we reached out with a question.

Ocean Breeze, Beautiful Ocean Front Townhome
We always love staying here. The condo is so warm and cozy. Rob is a fantastic host. The views are amazing and the location perfect. We can’t wait to return yet again.

5-Minute Walk to Beach & Boardwalk, Private Porch!
Convenient location, within walking distance of beach, shops and restaraunts. Clean and roomy, well situated with amenities listed. Great Sunny porch at the entrance.

Ocean Front 5Bedroom/3Bathroom Dog Friendly Home!
Great location and house! Would definitely recommend!

Point Break Historic Beach Cottage
Loved our stay! Was able to check in early and was in a great location! We will stay there every time we visit.

Oceanfront,pet friendly,fenced yard
We couldn't ask for a better place to stay. The fenced in yard under the house was a great place to drop off our beach gear at the end of the day. The view of the ocean was incredible and everyone had an amazing time. 5 Stars for the Millers.

Surf4life Oceanfront Beach Cottage
We love this beach cottage! It is right on the beach but also offers a private, shady porch to watch the surf if you've had enough sun. A grill, outdoor shower and hammocks complete the beachy vibe. We have stayed at the cottage three times over five years and hope to go back.

The Surf Shack
Perfect little beach getaway! Walking distance to the beach, bars, and restaurants. Really enjoyed this cute little surf shack!

Beachfront Condo, Steps to the Beach
This was a very last minute trip without much planning & Kellie & Russ were great to work with! Very responsive! Made sure we got into their condo without any issues.. suggested some local eateries.. but ultimately, their place is just steps away from the sand of the beach.. very quiet complex & that’s exactly what we were looking for! CB is just a couple minutes away if you’re looking to get into more things, especially the end of May when the Boardwalk opens up fully, but this trip was just for peace and quiet & a mental reset with three of my kids & my daughter’s best friend. Fort Fisher was just a short walk away and we enjoyed going and learning about that era and walking the battlefield. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for laid back & relaxed! Completely equipped kitchen and linens was a bonus! Wish we could have stayed longer, but back to school and work tomorrow!

Beach vacation condo at Ft Fisher! Riggings
Loved staying at chads place close to the ferry and fort fisher. He recommend a place to eat and was a good recommendation. Very responsive.

Surf Vibes! - Oceanfront condo w/ heated pool
Great relaxing retreat!! The oceanfront porch was priceless. We spent so much time out there. The owners were so responsive and flexible. We had two 18 year olds who had fun playing basketball, hanging out on the beach and touring around. We hope to go back soon.

Oceanfront Coastal Condo w/ Pool
The CONDO was as described and beautiful in every way. The host Payton was very helpful and had great communication hope to visit again soon!

*Renovated* Top Floor Oceanfront Condo w/ Pool
This condo was exactly what we needed for our weekend getaway! The home was clean and in a perfect location. The only downfall was the guest bedroom that has the bunk beds, didn’t have a ceiling fan for our little one. Other than that, it was perfect and we loved staying here!

Oceanfront Condo in Heart of Wrightsville Beach
Beautiful place, excellent location!!!

Fully Renovated Beautiful Oceanfront 2 BR Condo
My friend and I had a great stay in this condo! It's exactly like the pictures and was very peaceful. It's pretty close to the Boardwalk and other restaurants, but not too close to be in all of the congestion and hustle and bustle of CB. Stephen was wonderful and very responsive. I would recommend this place to everyone and would stay here again!

Oceanfront! - Walk to Ft Fisher - Cable
We had a wonderful stay! Very responsive as well as very accurate with instructions on how to get there and get in! Very close to the Aquarium and not to far from Carolina Beach Boardwalk.

Beach Please Oceanfront
Amazing beach house! Everything was perfect during our stay. Quiet location, comfy furniture, well equipped kitchen and baths, fantastic views of the beach from the large windows and deck and so much more. Josh is a fantastic host. Stop your search and Stay here!

Beachfront cottage with views from every room!
My family and I went down for spring break. The home was right on the beach and had a very convenient walking path to the beach. Upon arrival, the house was clean and clutter-free. We didn't need anything. The host was highly responsive and accommodating when I reached out with questions. Book this place! It is a very deal and worth the peace it brings when you're sitting on the porch drinking your morning coffee!

Oceanfront Incredible Ibis w private beach access
Perfect beach cottage on Oak Island! It was incredibly well stocked and we wanted for nothing. The house is also adorably decorated, the linens and mattresses are very nice quality, the appliances are well kept and work as expected. The view from the front porch is heavenly and the outdoor furniture is ample and comfortable. We were also surprised to find swings beneath the house that the kids used all the time! Perfect area to hang out when getting ready for the beach or while taking a break. Outdoor shower on walkway and under the house have hot water! I honestly can’t say enough good things about this rental. We will book again and again!

5 BR best ocean views from all decks
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this Airbnb . The location is unbeatable - just a short walk to the beach. What truly set this stay apart was the attention to detail from the host. It was the perfect place for a relaxing and memorable vacation!

Mermaid Hill- Soundfront with dock, bring boat!
Top notch custom home with spacious, signature covered porch, comfy beds, excellent kitchen, lots of fridge space. Very privately situated from the neighboring property with many lovely spots to sit alone or with others. Quiet master suite. Loved the comfy seating at the end of the dock. The elevator is super helpful when "moving in." I might advise guests to be prepared with paper plates if your party is large, because there are not many place settings. Bring kitchen towels, as there are not any. The master carpet is unexpectedly badly stained, but it is not reflective of the general cleanliness of the property. Some outdoor cushions need refreshing. Outdoor living spaces (a highlight of the property) were not clean when we arrived, but the interior was very clean. These are minor things, but deserve the owner's attention, because overall the property is nothing short of fabulous.

Paradise Found Beachfront Haven
Loved Dawn’s place! The view is absolutely breathtaking! That was my favorite part of walking in, going to sleep, and waking up. The view made me feel like “Okay now this is a vacation”! Dawn was so friendly and responsive! Ready to lend a hand if needed. Will definitely keep this on my list of favorites.

Spacious Ocean Front House
The place was great for our family of 6. Every person had a bath towel and one wash cloth. The decks were great to sit outside for the sunrise! The kitchen amenities aren’t specifically listed, but they are enough if you want to do a bit of cooking. Bring your own beach towels - 2 are provided. We loved how quiet this place was down on the sound end of the island. It is a clean and cute place! We’d definitely come here again, though we were a bit put off that there are three hosts listed and no one responded to the two messages with questions that we sent before and during our stay.

Beachfront Bliss- 2 BDR- 2 Bath (sleeps 6)
The unit was just as shown in the photos and was very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with spices and coffee accessories which was appreciated. We enjoyed our stay.
