  • Private vacation home
Welcome to your next favorite coastal hideaway— The Close Enough Retreat, a thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2-bath home tucked away in a relaxing Wilmington neighborhood. Whether you're planning a beach vacation, weekend escape, or an extended stay, this home offers the ideal balance of comfort, convenience, and location.

The Close Enough Retreat has earned an magnificant reputation with a 4.9+ rating and Superhost status, thanks to our commitment to cleanliness, thoughtful details, and a consistently welcoming guest experience. This home is designed to help you relax the moment you walk in—combining comfortable appeal with modern touches that make every stay effortless.

The name “The Close Enough Retreat” says it all—you’re close to everything you want, while still appreciating a peaceful space to relax. Located just 3.6 miles from historic downtown Wilmington, you’ll have simple access to the Riverwalk, local stores, eateries, and nightlife. When it’s time for the beach, Wrightsville Beach is only 8.2 miles away, and Carolina Beach is just 10 miles—giving you the best of both worlds.

Visiting the area for school or events? The University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) is just 6.4 miles away, making this an ideal stay for families, students, and traveling professionals alike.

Inside, the home features three cozy bedrooms and two full bathrooms, making it ideal for families, couples, or modest groups. Appreciate a completely equipped kitchen, comfortable living space, and thoughtfully designed interiors that make it painless to settle in and feel at home.

Step outside to your private backyard patio—one of the home’s standout features. Complete with a fire pit and grille, it’s the ideal place to relax after a day at the beach, appreciate a meal outdoors, or relax under the stars in a peaceful, fenced-in space.

Traveling with a bigger group? Look no further than the neighboring property, Portside Retreat, located right next door—ideal for booking both homes together while still enjoying your own private spaces.

Guests choose The Close Enough Retreat for its unbeatable combination of location,
comfort, and reliability. As Superhosts, we pride ourselves on clear communication, attention to detail, and creating a seamless experience from booking to checkout.
