Waterfront vacation rentals in Wrightsville Beach

Always enjoy Southport! The place has everything you need for a great vacation. And the best way to enjoy Southport is by bike. I love this rental because it has the best cruisers. When we arrived 1 tire was flat and Rhonda’s husband came out to fix it for us! They are great hosts!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would love to extend a five-star review for Paul, even though I was unable to make my trip due to an ice storm in eastern NC. What was supposed to be a long weekend getaway was reduced to less than a day and a half, making the trip impossible. Paul was incredibly gracious and allowed a full refund, prioritizing the safety of myself and my child over rigid policies. His kindness and understanding made a disappointing situation much easier to navigate. I was so looking forward to staying at his oceanfront place in the winter—the solitude and peace of the beach during the off-season is my favorite. Plus, the south end of Wrightsville Beach is an absolute treasure. I truly hope the opportunity arises in the future to book with Paul again. His generosity and hospitality speak volumes, and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at his place when I finally get the chance!

I stayed here with my mom and son, the view is amazing! We got to see dolphins while sitting on the patio. The sunsets and sunrises are picture perfect from the bedroom window and patio. When I had questions Wendy was very responsive. The place was clean and organized. Overall we enjoyed our stay, no complaints and we would definitely book again!

We loved the location, cleanliness and communication. Lynne and team checked in on us and the condo was exactly what we needed for a week! It hosted two adults and two small kids comfortably.

My husband and I booked this property to celebrate our 22nd anniversary, and it surpassed our expectations. The location was fabulous, in walking distance of all restaurants, bars and stores with plenty to do. The balcony with its spectacular view made for a perfect evening with a glass of wine. We will definitely be back!

Ryan's place was in a great location, as described & what we needed for our short stay. He too was a very good host. Would definitely rebook on our return visits if available.

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!

This was a clean, comfy stay for two people. The location was good for us; near the Wrightsville Beach bridge, and close to one of our favorite places to eat, the Bluewater Waterfront Grill. This is a converted hotel-type room, but it had all the necessary amenities for coffee-making and light cooking. The bed was comfortable for a great night's sleep!

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!

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!

Beautiful home with direct access right to the beach. My family had a very comfortable stay.

My recent stay at the Regency that exceeded our expectations! The property was exactly as described, with cozy decor and all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect—close to local attractions yet tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, which allowed for a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring. However, there was one drawback that I feel is worth mentioning: the cleaning fees. While I understand that cleaning fees are standard, I was surprised to find that, despite paying a significant amount for cleaning, guests were still asked to load the dishwasher and start a load of laundry before checking out. This felt a bit contradictory, and it made me question the value of the cleaning fee itself. I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a charming and convenient place to stay. I can’t wait to come back!

Very peaceful place. Excellent kitchen and outdoor grill. Great for large families. Beautiful river views from the back yard. 10 out of 10. Will definitely be back again.

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

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.

We had unforeseen circumstances that required us to book a new stay last minute late at night on a Friday. The host was responsive immediately and accommodated us. The house was clean and beautiful. It was a short drive to the beach. It was a great space to relax at whole unwinding from from the sand and sun. They provided great recommendations and we would definitely stay there again. Thanks for the great stay.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tara's. Wonderful location, with a view of the river and the battleship. Can't beat the location -- walkable to downtown Wilmington's many restaurants, cafes, shops & galleries. We loved walking the neighborhoods. The condo is roomy and airy, with everything we needed. Highly recommended!

We honestly loved the place to begin with, it was relaxed and in a quaint setting, not too many people. The condo was amazing and stepping into it was a breath of fresh air. 10/10 would def come 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.

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.

I have stayed at a few of Corey and Hayden’s units. They are always clean and the hosts are always responsive with questions and resolve any issues quickly. I would definitely recommend.

The space was lovely! We very much enjoyed the walkability to all of the downtown, and the view was amazing. The battleship is directly across the water which was so so cool. We stayed for Valentine's Day and being in the heart of downtown Wilmington was wonderful!! The WiFi did not work, and never came back on for us even after the host gave us tips to fix it (and the host was amazing to communicate about that!). Also, the TV was telling us that the storage was full every 10ish minutes, making watching anything on it a bit of a pain. These are SMALL "issues" and would not stop us from staying here again! The location, view, and communication from the host vastly outweighed the small tweaks that would have improved our stay.

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!

Stephen was amazing ! Very well located place - right on the beach
