Cottage holiday rentals in Emerald Isle

We wanted something close to Camp Lejeune and not too far from the beach and this place checked both those boxes. Clean and quiet yet not too far from restaurants and shops. It was a very peaceful and relaxing getaway. Carol was an amazing host.

We so enjoyed our stay in this quiet and peaceful home! It was the perfect get away and very kid friendly! The backyard is fenced and the whole place is clean and nicely decorated! About 15 minutes to the beach and 25 minutes to downtown, overall a wonderful stay! 5/5

This was an absolutely perfect Topsail vacation home! We loved every minute of our stay. The location is absolutely fantastic. So close to the little local shops and restaurants as well as super close to the bridge going over to the mainland.. The house itself was spotless and quite comfortable. Had everything we needed to cook full meals. Plenty of kitchenware for our group of seven. Proximity to the beach is by far the most fantastic detail of this house! The little private sandy beach *yard* attached to the deck is awesome for kids and the beach itself just down a few steps is so amazing. We could even sit in bed and see the ocean waves! This is the best house with beach access and views we've stayed at in Topsail. Also positive to note, the entire property being fenced in felt incredibly safe for kids and was fantastic for our dog. We realized the apartment was a part of the rental unit and we were so pleasantly surprised! It was a great separate space! Overall highly recommend!

It was asolutely beautiful here! after booking, we were so excited to hear they installed extras on the property and we got to enjoy a fire pit as well as the jacuzzi. easy drive to the beach and local stores and shops to entertain everyone. I would definitely come back with my littles next time, there was a lot to accommodate children! the only issue I had was unlocking the door and even though it was 1am, I was able to get someone on the phone to let me inside. wonderful stay!! 10/10

Great location, super close to everything in Wilmington! Diane is great, super responsive!

I absolutely adore this cute little beach house. It was a perfect best friend get away. I felt like I was staging in a beach cottage straight off hgtv. My only suggestion is a full length mirror for the females! Definitely would stay here again.

Mallory & John were both very friendly, quick to respond and accommodating to our check in needs and questions throughout the stay. The home was clean and well equipped. Perfect for my family and only 10 mins from the beach! The kids loved the pool and backyard space for fishing, running around and relaxing in the hammocks. My only suggestion would be to pack bug spray for the back yard since you are near the lake (the mosquitoes loved us!) and to be prepared for a bit of a bumpy ride into the neighborhood as there are many potholes in the gravel road leading up to the house. Not a complaint and not the hosts fault of course. Just want to help! We would stay here again :)

My wife and I enjoyed this home and all that it had to offer. Such a clean home, with everything included that you need for your stay. Hot tub and pool was a nice addition to the stay. My wife is 6 months pregnant and she said that she slept extremely well in the master bed! Just a short drive by golf cart to the beach easy beach access. Our first trip to NC coast but won't be our last! Thank you for hosting our baby moon getaway and all the recommendations for restaurants.

We love the location of the house close to restaurants and the beach access. The home is adorable there are a lot of beautiful paintings. we really like the screened-in back porch.

This is my family and I favorite place to stay! We fish off the dock, go kayaking, swim and play in the sand. It’s an easy walk to the ocean side if you want to go there. We spend most of time at the at the beach area there at the house.

Enjoyed this cozy little house and our pups did as well. Great walking area and felt at home.

We had a great week at Jill’s place! We brought our two pups with us and they enjoyed the fenced in yard. We liked the convenient location and short walk to the beach. The place had everything we needed. When we had a problem, Jill was quick to respond and addressed the issues immediately which was great. Made our stay so much better! The only thing I’ll note for future renters is to keep in mind that you’re on the bottom floor with other renters above, which means their footsteps can be very noisy at times. We had our infant with us who goes to bed early and naps during the day, so we were very aware of the extra noise. But other than that, it’s a great spot and we would love to have Jill as a host again!

My husband and I just returned from our second stay at One Beachin' Cottage for a long Memorial Day weekend. The cottage is comfy & we appreciate that it's pet friendly. Although the street where the Cottage is quiet and fairly traffic-free, it's walkable to the beach, restaurants, and the boardwalk. We appreciated how close it is to the Tiki Bar, The Spot, and the Veggie Wagon. We will definitely be back!

My wife and I as well as our 2 kids and our pittie Mama loved our stay. it's the perfect spot for those with a furry family member. Right at the lake and the beach. We plan to save Lisa's place for possible future trips. Be sure to check out the dog photo book of all of the four legged guests when you stay. ❤️

So peaceful and we didn’t want to leave! I think a couple of rocking chairs on the porch would be a wonderful touch!

Beautiful cottage. Lots of room for a large family. Good communication from hosts, plenty of beach supplies (chairs, toys, towels), short walk to the beach. Wonderful wraparound porch! Loved our visit. Highly recommend!

Upon arrival I imagined the house being a cute cottage near the beach. However the house is designed very open and felt really big! It also has a huge backyard, so you could bring a pet. The house is maybe a 3 minute walk to the beach and is on a very quiet street. Angela is a phenomenal host who was able to accommodate us for some technical errors that occurred at the house. I will definitely plan my next stay here if the house is available.

Great place to stay in a very peaceful and quiet location. The cottage had everything we needed, and we enjoyed our time there. Thank you, William!

I had a fantastic stay at Catherine’s place! The home was clean & cozy, the property was beautiful & peaceful. Check-in was smooth and hassle-free. Catherine was responsive and thoughtful throughout the stay. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

This was an excellent stay for the price, clean and steps from the beach with a great view from the back porch. One thing worth mentioning is the driveway is particularly steep, we were unable to get our boat into the driveway without scraping the hitch. Should not be an issue for others besides those with very little ground clearance. Quiet and very friendly neighbors. Would definitely recommend

What a wonderful home, location and host! Everything was absolutely top quality, and so many extra touches! We used the kayaks, fire pit (firewood provided!), ping pong table… easy walk to the beach too! Hope to stay again.

This was our family of three's third stay at Soundmohr and we loved it as always! We love having our own space instead of a noisy condo, and you can't beat the view of the sound with the private pier. Trent has always been friendly and accommodating and is very responsive to any concerns. Wish we could have started longer!

We had a great visit to Stephanie's place. The house was extremely spacious and very charming. It's walking distance to Southport mainstreet, and also a children's playground a short walk through the park. All of the waterfront restaurants are also within walking distance. Oak Island ocean beaches are a 15 minute drive. We would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to stay in the heart of downtown Southport.

At the end of a mile dirt road was a beautiful & welcoming home with a great view. The host are right beside you if you should need anything. Clean & beautiful home with ‘soft big beds’ (as my daughter would say) 😉 Emerald Isle is close by to visit during the day. We enjoyed the park, aquarium, shopping, & dining. Kitchen was also nicely stocked for some nice cooked meals there! Hope we can come back again!
