Holiday rentals with a kayak in Emerald Isle

The LightHouse was an amazing experience for my family. We over-packed to make sure we had everything, but Janet and the LightHouse crew made sure we had everything we needed and more. Absolutely beautiful experience. We will definitely be returning. Thank you, LightHouse crew, for a great experience.

A beautiful house for our family to enjoy together. Being on the water and having a private pier/dock was so wonderful! Garet was very friendly and responded quickly when we needed to reach out to him throughout the stay! The only thing I would make sure to be aware of is that there are stairs throughout the house. I saw stairs in the photos, but in case you have someone staying who has mobility issues, keep in mind that there are at least 2-3 stairs that you must go up/down to get to any bedroom and the living room area. Wasn’t a huge issue while we were there, but I can see how it could be. All in all, we had a wonderful experience & would definitely recommend!!

Wonderful location with a great fishing/boat dock. Made lasting memories catching fish with my kids, and swinging in the breeze under a beautiful Live Oak tree. Kitchen is a dream.

Our stay was as expected. The house was in a great location with lots to do near it and convenient to get to. It also accompanied my entire party and an unexpected last addition of my nephew! It was in great shape and plenty of community spaces as well as places to get off alone and rest and relax. The check-in was great and the house was very clear. Highly recommend.

Mel’s place was great with plenty of room for me and my coworkers. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms and kitchen were clean. Couldn’t have asked for much more. Would be a great place to stay for a getaway.

We had a great stay a Nick’s place! Close walk to both the beach and the bay. A comfortable stay for my family with two young kids and my parents. Would definitely stay again!

Nothing short of amazing, the epitome of private yet not secluded. I would recommend this place a thousand times over, with lots to do in walking distance and a lot more within very short drives this home is beautiful!

We had a great stay at Khalia's place--the house was nice, in a quiet neighborhood that was still very close to the beach, and the house was very well stocked and well prepared with everything we could need. The listing mentioned 3 bicycles--we had 4 people and found 4 bikes in the garage waiting for us! They also have a pull up bar in front of the garage which was also extremely convenient and handy.

Our stay was wonderful. Richard was very hospitable and communicated with us very well throughout our trip. Would definitely stay again! The house was beautiful and full of games, activities, and very private.

We love Pirates Hideaway. It’s a great spot on the sound with easy beach access. It has an amazing water view. Loved our stay and will definitely be back.

Steve and Hannah’s home was perfect for a family get away. The house was cozy and had beautiful sunrise and sunset views!

We had such a lovely stay at the Tew Cottage! Conveniently located near your beach of choice and downtown areas. The cottage was spotless and well decorated, we felt right at home. Sharlene is a wonderful host and was extremely kind and attentive. We will definitely be back!

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.

Beautiful and well kept home. Love the closeness only 3 min drive from main beach. Teenagers were able to walk to DQ. They blew up the tires on the bike but one needs a tube. There was everything you would need except a potatoe masher (now there is one). Grocery store and shops were so close.

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 such a wonderful stay at this cozy vintage beach cottage! Tucked away on a quiet, peaceful street, it was the perfect retreat for a relaxing getaway. The welcoming front porch was a favorite spot to sip morning coffee and enjoy the breeze. Inside, the cottage has a charming coastal vibe with vintage touches that add character and warmth. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into making it both stylish and comfortable. The space was clean, well-kept, and incredibly well-supplied with everything we needed—from kitchen essentials to beach gear. If you're looking for a place with personality, tranquility, and easy access to Oak Island’s beautiful beaches, this cottage is a fantastic choice. We’d definitely come back!
