Waterfront vacation rentals in Emerald Isle

I was in love as soon as I walked through the door!!! It was an extremely peaceful and close to everything!!! It was exactly what I was looking for!!

We had the BEST experience with this rental. The unit was clean, inviting, comfortable, and well stocked. The balcony offered stunning views of the water and sunsets. The location was great for walking on the Riverwalk and accessing excellent restaurants and shopping opportunities. Bob did an amazing job communicating with us!!! In all of our travels, we feel he has done the best job of clearly articulating every aspect of our stay. We highly recommend Bob’s Place!

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!!!!

I picked to stay at Audrey‘s place because of the location – and it definitely did not disappoint. The location is right on the Riverwalk, which is central to everything. The beautiful balcony was definitely the star of the show- which we felt like was needed since we were looking to be by water but didn’t wanna pay ocean front prices. The check out was a little early but luckily we had lots more to see prior to our flight home! Overall would definitely recommend and would love to stay here again :)

For the 1 day we were there we had a cozy stay in this cute little home!

Great place to stay. Loved the location and reasonably priced!

Great place!!!

Super comfortable bed! Slept great. Loved the shower and plenty of hot water. Lovely views front and back. Saw Chris and the puppy a few times...super friendly and let my kids throw the ball with the sweet pup. :) Would stay here again except my daughter is moving to a different area in Wilmington.

Only issue we had, guys are avid fisherman, due to low tides and timing of such, we could not dock our boat at the house. Thankfully boat launch was 2 minutes down the road so it didn’t interfere with them fishing😊. Besides that perfect vacation, beautiful water, scenery, islands to tour and very relaxing time in the evenings😊

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.

Super clean and convenient. Met ours needs perfectly! Spectacular view!

We always enjoy staying on this area. The view from the house was spectacular! We would definitely recommend staying here.

Loved our weekend away! On the water and exactly the way it is described. Gregory was an excellent host.

Beautiful house with plenty of room for us. The house is very clean and within walking distance to the beach and activities.

This house is beautiful!! I stayed by myself for my birthday trip and it was 100% worth it. Amazing views, and honestly after staying here I would consider moving to morehead! I love the area, everything is so close, and the beach is right there!! I went to the aquarium and a couple of stores around there. Also went to the oyster bar for oysters of course, my favorite!! All around good trip, I will say the road to get to the house is FULL of potholes, I thought I was in the wrong place at first. Just keep following the road and it’s right there, just beware of the invisible speed bumps haha. Also the shower in the hallway the door doesn’t stay shut so just a heads up, it kept bothering me so I just used the other shower.. but Thankyou so much for letting me stay, you will proably be seeing me again this year!!

We have now stayed here two years in a row. We have an annual fishing trip that this place works perfectly. It is everything that is distributed and then some. What a beautiful place to watch a sunrise and sunset. Johnna is always very responsive and super helpful. What a great host. We will be back to get some more relaxation in.

Staycation weekend. We’re able to explore Wilmington without a car. Well equipped kitchen. Quiet, peaceful and well stocked with lots to do within walking distance. Loved it! Thank you Tara!

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!

The apartment is on the second floor with a beautiful view overlooking the boardwalk and Cape Fear River. Nice size balcony and large front windows. Comfortable bed and furniture. Kitchen has everything needed. Steps from the center of downtown.

Very clean and comfortable condo. Our host was very friendly and kind. The only downside was that we booked the condo thinking that we could sit by the pool. While we weren't super concerned with being able to get in the water, we thought we would be able to at least sit in the pool area to get some sun in between doing things around Wilmington and the beach. We may have booked something with a patio or balcony instead, had we known that the outside sesting area wouldn't be usable. If you're booking your stay here with the intention of being able to use the pool, I'd just check with the host first, as we checked out on 3/31 and the pool and pool area were torn up and empty as of this date.

The perfect location for exploring Wilmington’s historic district. Lots of great restaurants and attractions are all within walking distance. The view of the battleship was quite unique.

My teenage daughter and I stayed here over her Spring Break and it was perfect! The location is great! The gorgeous view of the USS North Carolina from the balcony at sunset is absolutely stunning!! The condo is in a safe, secure building and the parking pass for the garage that is only a block away was wonderful to have. The hosts gave very detailed instructions and were very responsive during our stay. I highly recommended staying here next time you are in Wilmington!

Stunning river view from the balcony! Within walking distance from the best of the downtown spots. Comfortable, clean and safe, easy to access.

Jody’s apartment was the perfect place to spend a weekend in Wilmington. Loved the modern furnishings and beautiful view from the balcony. Also very easy to walk pretty much anywhere!
