Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Carteret County

As an Airbnb host, this is just the best. If you get a chance to book do it now don’t wait. This place quietly screams peaceful, respite from the world! And boy did I need it. Follow the directions and wear shoes if you go in the water! The kayaks were wonderful. Brent is a wonderful person. Places like this is the best part of Airbnb . Experience the best.

Can’t say enough good things about this little spot! Great location! So clean and cute. It’s the illusion of seclusion. We took our boat and enjoyed exploring the Bay River . Oriential is close for some really good restaurants . The porch and rockers were so nice for morning coffee. Shannon is responsive and helpful. We hope to be back soon. Lee and Wendy Cooper

We had a fantastic time at Mr DJ’s house. The location is perfect, and the home was spotless with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Both bedrooms and the living room have TVs, and the kitchen is fully equipped. There were plenty of towels, and the washer and dryer worked great. The bathrooms were exceptionally clean. We’ll definitely be staying here again in the future!

Paul was an excellent host! The house is so cute, super clean, excellent location, conveniently located near beach access points, restaurants and the reason we were there - the Big Rock Tournament!!! Such a beautiful area. We loved the fenced backyard for our Yorkies and the driveway being on 20th, not on busy Arendell. 5 ⭐️ s!!!

We had a wonderful stay! The property was peaceful and private with a beautiful view right next to the canal. My kids especially had a blast fishing off the dock — it quickly became their favorite part of the trip. The setting was perfect for relaxing and spending quality time together. We would definitely love to come back!

Great stay for our group to gather, eat and be merry. Immaculate and had everything we needed. Very peaceful area and great location. We hope to stay again.

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ all the way! This place was just what we needed while visiting friends with our one year old baby. Pristine, has all the necessities especially if you’re staying with a little one!

House had all the amenities. Kids played in the garage hangout room with tv and ping pong. Played badminton in the backyard as well. Loved the newly built deck. We stayed Father’s Day weekend with family. Easy 15 min. Drive to Beaufort and beach for the day.

Comfortable 2nd floor apartment in a quite neighborhood. Ample parking. Has 3 beds: queen and single in the bedroom and queen-size sofa bed (pretty comfortable) in the main room. Full kitchen with all the necessities, bathroom with shower. Nice open deck - was great to dry out diving equipment. Everything was clean, in good shape and matched the descriptions / photos. A few restaurants within 5 min drive; we found a couple within walking distance. Overall, a nice and clean apartment and a good value.

We loved this place. It was clean, comfortable, it had everything that we needed, it’s walking distance to nice places to eat and drink, that are right on the water and it has a pool!!!

Lil’ Dock was fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend visit. Downtown New Bern is just a short drive away, and we also got the quiet river view that comes with not staying right in the city. We would absolutely stay here again!

Fantastic stay at Sandy’s place. It was super clean and looked just like the photos. Comfortable furniture and bed. Also, it was very spacious. The location was great too! We parked our car and just walked everywhere. So many good location within 5-10 minute walk. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great Airbnb in New Bern.

Perfect stay for a couples get away. Within walking distance from the waterfront and lots of restaurants. Quaint but beautiful!

We love staying at this place! It’s such a walkable neighborhood and close to many restaurants.

Exactly as advertised. Super clean. Loved the garden. Responsive and friendly hosts. Would definitely stay there again.

Mary Jane's place was wonderful for my wife's and my stay. There were clear instructions on how to access the upstairs loft to their garage. We had everything we needed to be comfortable during our weekend stay there. It is walking distance to the downtown area, and extremely close to a couple of breweries and restaurants.

Great place to stay. Clean, easy access, and great location.

Atlantic Beach was everything we hoped for and more! The beach was practically at our doorstep, making it easy to start the day with sunrise strolls and unwind with sunset views. The soft sand and gentle waves created a peaceful, relaxing vibe, yet there was no shortage of adventure nearby. We explored charming coastal towns, tried fresh local seafood, and found fun activities like paddleboarding and biking scenic trails. Everything was close, convenient, and full of coastal charm. A perfect beach escape! We can't wait to come back! OceansidePearl is a true piece of heaven waiting!

Great place to stay! My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights, playing golf at Harbour pointe and exploring downtown new Bern on day 1, and then touring tryon palace, playing disc golf, and enjoying the amenities on property on day 2. Sara’s is a great dinner spot nearby for dine in or pick up!

Second time staying and won’t be the last! Always nice to stay at pebble beach. Megan’s place has just enough room for the two of us. We love the pool and proximity to the beach.

Logan is a fantastic host. All questions were answered very quickly and he made sure we were satisfied. The room is absolutely beautiful and the mattress is extremely comfy. There was even fresh juice and fruit in the fridge for us!

We were very comfortable in this well thought-out compact condo. Had everything we needed and more! The location was great for restaurant options and stores, plus not far to go for Fort Macon and Beaufort, both great places to visit. But above all, the access to the beach from the property was excellent, and the beach was very nice at this location. Wish I was still there walking in the waves! Linda was a good communicator even though we didn't meet. I would definitely stay here again if returning to the area. Thank you for a wonderful visit!

We had a great time at Julie’s place in Fairfield Harbour. The condo was wonderful, well stocked with all the supplies we needed, and in a great location. Highly recommend!

Beautiful apartment very well decorated with European style and incredible views which allows you (from two different balconies) to watch wildlife( dolphins/ wild horses and many different species of birds) but also all the boating activities with sailboats/catamarans/motor yacht etc. Bring your binoculars! It will be difficult to find better in Beaufort because no matter the weather conditions you will love this place and still enjoy the beauty of Beaufort. This place is a gem from January 1st to December 31st! You will enjoy your stay from the moment you open your eyes in the morning , the beds are excellent for your back ( I am a chiropractor!) and your car will rest because you can do everything on foot!
