Spacious 1 Bedroom Suite at Fairfield Harbour
The condo was perfect for our needs, in a lovely area, clean, with everything we needed for the meals we prepared there. Having the recreation center available to us with its indoor pool and hot tub and outdoor pool was an added bonus. We didn't have time to take advantage of other offerings there for fun and exercise. All staff were very pleasant and helpful. This was my first experience using airbnb. Brooke was very prompt in answering all of my questions and I can highly recommend booking a stay at one of her locations.

OCEAN VIEW, SPA-LIKE. POOL, BEACH BOARDWALK.
Very nice place to stay! Would def stay again. Private and perfectly located in safe neighborhood.

Oak Island 3 bedrooms, walk to beach, pool table
Wonderful stay!! Perfect location for everything!

Ocean Resort & Family Oasis Steps to the beach!
A place at the beach is a wonderful place to stay. There is great activities for families of all ages. The back room has beds for the kiddos and even a pull out couch if you want to split up the kids. The resort has incredible amenities highlighted by the outdoor pool slide. What makes this unit special over other options is the view of the pool and slide, as well as the ease and proximity to getting to the beach itself. The property has several DoorDash options as well as food trucks onsite (check with front desk on food truck schedule) which make for ease for families who want to skip cooking one night. My family of four (ages 4, and 1) had a fabulous time! This unit accommodated us very comfortably and the resort is top notch and very well maintained. I would highly recommend Paul and Deb’s Unit!

Luxurious 3 bedroom condo
Anita was great reaching out to make sure our arrival was good, and that there were no issues. We have stayed numerous times over the last 5-6 years. It is a great location, plenty of amenities, and feels the comfort of home. I highly recommend her place you are planning to stay in the Beaufort/Morehead city area. She is one of the best host I deal with when using Airbnb!

Relaxing Screened Porch, Hot Tub and Walk to Beach
I had an amazing stay at this beach rental house! The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day of fun in the sun. The house was spotless and well-maintained, which made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The host was exceptionally responsive and made sure we had everything we needed, from check-in to check-out. We appreciated the thoughtful initial items provided, which made settling in so easy. The location couldn't have been better—just a short walk to the beach and close to great restaurants, making it so convenient to enjoy everything the area has to offer. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic beach getaway!

Sea2Sky | Oceanfront, Private Pool & HotTub
Beautiful ocean front home with plenty of space for our large group. Very quiet community with beach access that felt almost private. Close proximity to restaurants and coffee shops with a short drive to the Carolina Beach area. The host was responsive and helpful prior to check-in and facilitated an early arrival. I think it’s important to note the only free parking is a two-car garage that can hold up to two midsize SUVs. There is not a driveway; therefore, if you have a bigger vehicle, plan to park on the street and pay daily parking fees. We will definitely plan another visit in this property.

The Peaceful Place with Private Hot Tub!
Thank you for letting us stay in your home while working out of town. Very satisfied with home and would recommend it to anyone! Thank you again.

☼Vitamin Sea 1 Block From The Beach☼
We had a relaxing time at the beach. The place was clean and we had everything that we needed. The location is fantastic and everything was smooth checking in and checking out

Oceanfront Townhouse steps to the Beach
Convenient to beach. Nice view and very comfortable.

Seashore Theme Cottage - No Cleaning Fee!
I always enjoy my stay at the Cottage. It is peaceful, clean, comfortable and has everything you need for a week or longer. Shirley & Ken are always lovely and incredibly responsive with any question. If I could give more stars I would. My go-to when I visit New Bern.

Sea Breeze Beautiful Oceanfront Townhome, Kure Bch
We have visited Robs place several times and we enjoy staying there..It is clean and out the back door, you are at the beach..Close to restaurants..Rob is a great host..We will be making reservations again soon..We definitely recommend staying there..

Da Island Retreat - Steps to Beach
This was perfect for our mini family getaway! Lot’s of room, clean & just steps away from the beach. We couldn’t have asked for more. Minnie was responsive to everything within minutes which was really nice. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Pelican's Perch, Oak Island, NC
This is best stay I’ve had at an Airbnb. Comfortable, quiet, safe for traveling alone, and hosts were just the best. Goldie the cat , who would’ve stayed out my way had I not enticed him with scritches and a few treats, was an added bonus for me. I booked a second consecutive week!

Mermaid Retreat* Private Pool* Pet Friendly
Darlene was a fantastic host! She communicated quickly when I had any questions. Her house was probably one of the best stocked AirBnBs that we've stayed at. The pool was so private, I knew we had neighbors, but could not see them. The house was perfect for our family! We loved Carolina Beach!

Surf City Beach Tree House-Private Beach Access!
Was just the peaceful getaway that we all needed. I came down with my daughters and was my grand daughters first beach trip and we were not disappointed, highly recommend

"Saltwater Escape: 5BR Fun & Pool Paradise"
We had a great week long vacation! The pool was a hit with the kids, the house was clean and big enough for the two families who vacationed together. Diana was wonderful and responsive. I would absolutely stay again!

Ocean cove Mermaid
This condo was perfect for a quick little get away for the family! There was plenty of room and having a pool and being beach front was perfect with the little one. Being downtown helped as well as it was easy to walk to restaurants and shops. Tori was very responsive and helped us as best as possible when we needed to reach out to her. We will definitely be looking to stay here again if we are able!

Oceanfront Condo "Beachcastings"
This is the perfect location to stay in Atlantic Beach! You can't beat the view of the ocean from the balcony and you are steps away from the beach. Atlantic Beach has a wide stretch of sand even at high tide which is not something you find at every NC beach. Jillian's place was clean, comfortable and perfect for our family of 4. Jillian left great instructions and was responsive, even offered a late check out. We would definitely stay here again.

Cozy BHI Condo - Community Pool and BHI Club
David and Kris were terrific hosts! They went out of their way to keep us informed of fun events happening around the island, which we greatly appreciated as it was our first time to BHI. The unit is just as pictured and beautifully renovated. Kitchen is expertly organized and has full array of cookware. The location is central on the island, making it a quick ride to the market, beach, club, etc. The surrounding live oaks and foliage are beautiful. I would definitely recommend! We will be back.

Family-Friendly Resort on Topsail Island
We had a great time at Rachel's condo, the place was amazing and is better than the listing shows.

The Tropical Palm-Ocean View, Pool, Heart of CB
Wonderful accommodations and host! Thanks for a great home away from home for the weekend!

Modern Condo, Walk to the Beach
Katie was an amazing host and very responsive! Top tier communication and hospitality! The unit was very clean and comfortable for my friend and I. I love how close it is to the beach. Parking was easy. I would definitely stay here again! Thanks Katie!

Oceanfront Condo, Spacious Private Deck & Pool!
We loved this place so much last year, we came back again this year! Updates were made with the sofa and some of the bedroom furniture. Walking in just felt like home away from home. It was so clean when we got there, even my 5 year old noticed that the sofa smelled like it had just been deep cleaned. The beds are soft and comfy, perfect for resting after a long day in the sunshine. You are close enough to the boardwalk but far enough away that you cannot hear the noise all night. I love Thursday night fireworks on the beach during the summer months. Stefan and Katie’s place is exactly as pictured and described. They have communicated with us during both stays quickly and efficiently. We love this place! We will definitely be back if you’ll have us again!
