Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Carteret County

Close to the beach and many wonderful restaurants! We’d definitely stay again!

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

Clean and comfortable! Loved this place! We stayed to catch the Ferry early and this place was in the most convenient location. Extra amenities were appreciated. The host was very helpful with information to help me plan. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!

The home was clean, well maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. The location was excellent—convenient and quiet, making it a great home base for our trip. Amenities matched the description, and everything functioned as expected. That said, the beds were not very comfortable, and the pillows were quite flat and inexpensive—if you're particular about sleep quality, I’d recommend bringing your own pillow. Overall, a pleasant stay with just a few areas that could be improved for guest comfort.

We had a wonderful stay! The home was exactly as described—cozy, and in waking distance to the beach. The host was very responsive and even left snacks for us when we arrived. The best part was the pool. Highly recommend!

My family had a wonderful stay. We visited the Core Fowl museum, visitors center and rode the ferry to Cape Lookout while spending a day looking for shells and enjoying the beach. The views of the sound are amazing and Amy's house is very spacious. The men fished from the bridge and caught some perch. The Sea Galley restaurant had some great seafood too. We had a great time, and I highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing vacation!

I had a very nice stay here! Beachy vibes

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!!!

I absolutely love this place and highly recommend it to everyone. It's the crown jewel of the area, and whenever I'm back in town, I always check for availability - it's always my top choice. Don't just take my word for it, experience it for yourself and you'll see why it's so special - it's sure to win you over. .

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.

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.

Stayed here for about a week for a romantic getaway with my partner. The place was beautiful and just like the pictures. Very close to the beach and walking distance to restaurants. It was so clean and peaceful. Will definitely stay here again.

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!

Everything was great. Linda was very accomodating. Great for 2 people. A little tight for 3 with the 3rd being on a pullout sofa which took up the entire sitting area.

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 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!
