Best Western Plus Coastline Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Check in quick. Helpful & friendly staff. Room clean & comfy. Bathroom could use makeover(tile). Breakfast offerings good. Cook your own waffle was good option. Great location on the riverfront. Too bad there's no pool. Would come back again. "

Pet-Friendly Historic Downtown 2BR Loft 1 block from riverwalk, walk everywhere

10/10 Excellent

"Great host! Place was exactly as described, but honestly, it was bigger than I imaganied it would be. Also, the location was perfect. We could park the car and leave it since it’s in the most walkable space!"

Cozy Houseboat in Port City Marina Wilmington, NC Nestled among The Cove Villas

10/10 Excellent

"The pictures were accurate. The location was great. Not far from the beach and walkable to three great restaurants. Bonita, Marina Grill and Sugo. The property staff was amazing and super nice. The golf cart service was a life saver. Highly recommend you read the host detailed instructions. They truly covered everything but I missed how to lock the door. They were fast to respond and followed up to make sure we figured it out. 100% would stay again. Perfect room me and three 19year Olds."

Luxe at The Cove Riverwalk Villas

8/10 Good

"The property was well kept. Check in was a breeze. The assistance with getting our luggage from garage to rental was awesome. Friendly staff. The riverwalk and shops near by was wonderful!!!! If I could change anything , it was be the cost. It was a little pricey but with today’s economy. The owner has to make a profit. So it’s understandable. All in all we had a great time with our friends!!!! We will come back!!!!!"
