Beach & Downtown Family Fun Wilmington Stay Villa

Summary:
Horsin’ Around” is a spacious, kid and pet-friendly 3BR retreat near Masonboro Sound—just minutes from Wrightsville & Carolina Beach, Trails End boat ramp, and downtown Wilmington. With two king bedrooms, a queen bedroom, kids’ beds, a game room with ping pong, basketball & retro games, and a spacious yard, it’s perfect for family fun. Close to parks, shops, dining, and all Wilmington has to offer!.

The Space:
Welcome to “Horsin’ Around”, your go-to family basecamp in Wilmington. This cheerful 3-bedroom, 2-bath home comfortably sleeps up to 10 with 2 king beds, 1 queen, a daybed with trundle, and 2 foldable twin floor mattresses—perfect for multi-family getaways or big kid crews.

The heart of the home is the cozy living space, with a fully stocked kitchen, comfy seating, and smart TV. But the real highlight is the converted garage game room, complete with ping pong, basketball shootout, and retro video games. Kids also get their own living room with a separate TV for movie nights or morning cartoons.

Out back, you’ll find a spacious yard and space to kick back under the Carolina sky. The neighborhood is quiet, leafy, and centrally located—just 5 minutes to Trails End Park’s public boat ramp and 15 minutes to both Wrightsville and Carolina Beach, and only 20 minutes to the shops, dining, and riverfront charm of downtown Wilmington!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This property worked out very well for us. Our group consisted of two grandparents, 5 young adults and two young children. The garage-playroom with the basketball game, video game and ping pong table was great for the kids (and adults too). There was enough sleeping space for all of us. Good beaches are not far away. We had a great time.
