OceanFront 3Bedroom/2.5Bathroom Dog Friendly home!

KarenRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
What a delightful experience! The house was as advertised and more. Kate provided many thoughtful touches (easy entertainment navigating, extra kitchen and food treats, fully stocked kitchen and cooking aids, games, beach supplies), which were wonderful surprises. She operates a pet friendly house, with pet supplies too. The location is marvelous, and the Surf City beaches are wonderful. She truly is a five star hostess, and this lovely home is perfect for a family/pet holiday.

Ola Verde

LaurentRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The host was very responsive and the place was great all around. Views are amazing, parking is out front of the unit. This spot is one of the best for the price and worked well for three people for two nights. I will definitely stay here again when I am back in town.

Luxe Villa – Steps to Beach & Pool

JaqRating, 5 stars2 days ago
Great place with a lot of privacy and spacious rooms! Loved the area and recommended things to do around the area- sand dollars island was an awesome experience. The place needed a few fixes such as microwave handle that were communicated during our stay but overall would stay again!

OCEAN & SOUND VIEWS, beach access right out front!

MichelleRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We loved everything about this house! Perfect location, great and VERY responsive host, clean! We had an issue where we couldn’t find something (our fault) and they brought us a replacement. The views are amazing! Everything was in the house from linens, to bikes, the deck was great! I can’t say anything bad at all! We will definitely visit again!

OS122 - pool, w/d on-site, steps to the beach!

JoeRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I was in town in business and my wife and daughters joined me to galavant on the beach for the week. my work was in Beaufort, just a short 15 minute drive "inland". The beach was beautiful, the small pool was great for the kids when they got tired of of the sand and salt. The space was cozy and perfect for us for the week. Overall would do again.

RachaelRating, 5 stars5 days ago
We enjoyed our stay here! Close to the beach and within walking distance to a great restaurant. You could hear the upstairs room but we got lucky with respectful neighbors during our trip so it wasn’t an issue. The hosts were very responsive to anything we needed! Would stay again!

Beach Daze

AllisonRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Shari was so kind and helpful. She worked with our schedule when meeting us for the key, etc. She provided us great recommendations and was attentive to our needs. She was worried about an issue but it was a non-issue—-felt like she truly cared for us. Thanks again!

Pool&Beach|Gameroom|View|Gym

SophiaRating, 5 stars5 days ago
The house exceeded our expectations. There is beach equipment/towels available for guests, along with a rise off area by the garage. The kitchen is fully stocked compared to other air bnbs I've stayed in. Check in/check out is super easy and the responsive hosts created a helpful guidebook to answer all questions and even included restaurant/activity recommendations. The walk to the beach access was much shorter than we thought from the map view, so this is a perfect location in vicinity to the beach. The house was spotless when we arrived, all of the linens are high quality and cleaned very well. The mattresses and pillows were also extremely comfy! We've decided that Topsail will be our regular beach spot and we'll be staying here whenever possible!!

Emerald Isle Condo - Ocean View & Private Access

MadisonRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a great time at Williams place. We had no issues but I feel confident that William would have been quick to respond if any did arise. Our only complaint was the bed. It was a little hard but definitely not a deal breaker. It’s in a great location as you can walk to the beach and many local restaurants. We would recommended and stay again!

BREATHTAKING VIEWS/ DIRECT OCEAN FRONT

ChristineRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The condo was clean upon arrival, and the view was amazing! Lisa was very prompt at answering any questions. The balcony was small but still very nice, and the chairs were more comfortable than the normal wooden balcony chairs that have been at other rentals. It was very quiet, you couldn't hear anything from any neighboring condos. I would definitely stay here again if I chose to vacation in Atlantic Beach again.

Salty Winds of the Crystal Coast

AshRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was definitely one our smoothest Airbnb stays. Everything was exactly as shown and the place is very accommodating and has everything you may need. The entire place is very comfortable and clean. Jennifer was extremely responsive whenever I had a question, which was seldom because most everything was already provided. The place has beautiful views, easy parking, and very accessible to the beach. And getting around to places was even easier. We also enjoyed this part of the coast the most because of the ease of access everywhere and more central location to Beaufort, Atlantic Beach, and Emerald Isle. The location made it a 5-10 minute drive to almost anywhere in these areas. We highly recommend this and will be staying again the next time around!

Oceanside Emerald Escape

Joe And DorothyRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We really enjoyed our stay, great location, beautiful home, everything and more that we needed for a week in the beach. Perfect for our family getaway. There was a minor hiccup with the cleaning service when we arrived but Michael went above and beyond to get the situation rectified right away! We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Oceanfront Oasis: Hot Tub, Fenced Yard, & Views

LaurenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The house was exactly as pictured & Beata was so friendly & easy to communicate with. The house was very clean (by far the most clean pet-friendly home we have stayed in). You would have no idea it was pet friendly if you were traveling without four legged children. We can’t wait to return next year!

Upscale Oceanfront

MarkRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This was one of the best places we have ever stayed at when using Air BNB! The view is spectacular, the beach is about 30 steps from the deck. It is truly as the pictures describe. It was also one of the most well stocked rentals, with phone chargers and adaptors at every plug in! The amenities were high quality. We did some cooking in a few nights and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need. We have been vacationing to Emerald Isle for at least 15-20 years, and it will be hard to find anywhere better to stay than here. We hope to be back again asap!

Absolutely perfect place to stay. Very quiet and close to beach and everything else. The door lock battery was low and I notified them and they were there the next morning to change batteries. Very responsive. Place was very clean. Would definitely stay there again!

Second Row! Slipper Shell at Emerald Isle

RachelRating, 5 stars9 months ago
This is by far the best Airbnb experience we’ve ever had. Jon and Leah are exceptional hosts and from our few interactions, clearly good people. They’re accommodating and communicative. We felt very comfortable and at home at this location because it was so clean and well maintained. It’s very peaceful here, a perfect distance from the beach as well as places to paddle board/kayak. You get a beautiful view of the stars on the balcony. Lots of great food places were close by and recommended by the hosts. We hope to have the opportunity to stay here again. If you’re looking for a relaxing, quiet, fun vacation where you’ll feel safe and comfortable this is without a doubt your spot. We’re so grateful for hosts like these two for providing a great place to help make happy memories!
