Crane's Landing - Riverfront

CoreyRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Great location in downtown Wilmington. Was able to walk to walk to Live Oak Bank Pavilion and surrounded by plenty of restaurants. Host gave precise instructions on check and check out prior to arrival. Condo was very clean. Would recommend staying here just to visit or for future concerts.

Riverfront sunset balcony + free covered parking

SheriRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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. It was the perfect getaway for the two of us for a couple of days. The space had everything that we needed and was very comfortable and very clean.

Downtown Riverfront 2 BR, deck, parking included

HeatherRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We travel to Wilmington a few times a year to see my daughter in college. This was by far the nicest airbnb we have stayed in. Yes it can be loud at night but you are right in the middle of everything. Shopping, restaurants, bars, river walk. We had a teenager with us so we were able to walk right downstairs to go to a few bars but not be too far away from her. The balcony back deck is great too. She felt like she was at the club on Friday and Saturday nights. The sound machine in the bedroom was great to override the noise when it was time for bed. Kathleen was so friendly and helpful and communicated throughout our stay. She was even there when we arrived to make sure we knew where to park. The unit came with two parking spots which was great when my older daughter came into downtown to visit. We would love to stay at this spot again!

Beachfront-Oak Island Memories Oceanfront

AutumnRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved staying here! It was the perfect girls getaway! It was cozy and had plenty of space! If we could have stayed longer we would have. We were able to walk to a little park that was having a spring festival and the area itself was so quiet and peaceful. Amazing porch view too! Absolutely loved the home and would definitely stay again!

Cape Fear Landing 1

AmeliaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Stayed in this AirBNB for my wedding weekend last week and can’t say enough wonderful things about it! The views were just absolutely breathtaking and being able to see the sunrise from the comfort of our room each morning was so priceless. Our wedding day photographer kept raving about how much of a dream the BNB was to shoot for behind the scenes footage throughout the wedding morning - truly the views are unmatched! The BNB had everything we needed including shower products, plenty of towels, extra blankets, and kitchen supplies. Pam was so easy to communicate with and made our stay so seamless. You really just can’t beat the location or the views, so don’t hesitate when booking!

The Regency

BinRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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!

DavidRating, 5 stars7 months ago
We loved our stay at Beverly’s place. We are a fishing and kayaking family, so the dock right on the sound was our ticket to adventure. We also loved the roomy Great Room with great views of the water. Everyone in the family said thay would go back to this place!

Vintage Mid-Century Beach Cottage

EveRating, 5 stars6 months ago
This space could not have been cozier or cooler! We loved all of the vintage accents and personal touches that Bryan and Mari preserved in this property and you can tell that this space has been a happy place for so many that have stayed over the years. The location could not have been better for a quiet beach stay and provided a lot of comfort for us during our visit. Their responsiveness was unmatched as well.

Beach vacation condo at Ft Fisher! Riggings

DevendraRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Besides his condo being on the ocean front, with a partial view to the ocean from the living room, kitchen and outside porch, being squeaky clean and nicely decorated, Chad deserves the highest remark for being an outstanding host. He called us, while we were on our way, to let us know that the condo was ready to check-in half an hour before the check-in time and arranged an ironing board and iron we needed to iron our clothes for attending a wedding. I wish I could give him more than five star rating as a host. My impression about the condo as well as the host aligns with all the reviewers who rated as being five star facility at Kure Beach.

Balcony + River Views | Walk to Downtown

TaylorRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Loved staying at Taryn’s. It was homie and cozy and everything I could’ve asked for. I wanted a small clean place with things to do around it and it’s exactly how I imagined it! Nothing wrong with the place at all and if there was something that Taryn needed to tell me she was quick to do so. Quick to text back and flexible. 10/10 place will 100% be staying here again.

This was a great place to stay! I looked up many places on CB and this was definitely the best. The view is amazing and it is right beside the drive able beach for 4WD vehicles. The Airbnb was spotless and we can’t thank Chris enough for being a great host!

Fully Renovated Beautiful Oceanfront 2 BR Condo

JessicaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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!
