Tranquil Oceanfront Retreat on the beach
Perfect, old-school beach getaway! We loved parking ourselves on the “lifeguard stand built for two” and just watching: the waves, the wildlife, the surfers, the sky…soooo relaxing and just what we needed to unwind for a few days. We loved the laid back vibe of the place and the hosts!

Stunning Sunsets, Walkable Condo, Covered Parking
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bob's place! It was just as advertised, clean and welcoming. The balcony over the river is where we put in the most hours, just watching the changes in the river, the various boats, and people-watching on the river walk. Everything we did was within minutes of the condo...great restaurants and shopping. Bob provided plenty of info and recommendations for eating and sightseeing. We were there on Memorial Day and could easily see the USS North Carolina lit up in red, white and blue. Even though it was cloudy/rainy most of the time, the awning on the balcony kept us dry and comfortable. A couple of time we had questions for Bob and he was immediately responsive and helpful. It was just the relaxing getaway we were hoping for! We would recommend this spot anytime for 2 guests!

Ola Verde
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.

Take a Break at Shore Break!
We spent a beautiful and relaxing week at Wendy & Jeff's Seascape. The place is EXACTLY like the photos, the view from the balcony is a dream!! Waking up to the ocean sounds every morning is something we will never forget. The apartment is very well-stocked with all the items you need to enjoy the beach, clean up afterward (lots of hot water and good shower pressure!) and cook a delicious meal (plenty of kitchen gadgets). Very easy to walk around the neighborhood, up to the pier for quick eats, or less than a mile to the little mini-mart. Parking is easy. Area is safe. The pool area across the street was clean and fun too! The hosts gave excellent, clear instructions for arrival/departure and even checked in on us via the app during our stay. Thank you so much, Wendy & Jeff!

New! Oceanfront 2bd/2ba - Penthouse View!
We enjoyed our stay here! The beach supplies were amazing, and we had everything we needed for traveling with our toddler. One thing to note is you do have to put the sheets on the beds yourself. That wasn’t clear in the listing, and we waited until we were exhausted to do it later that night which wasn’t very fun. But very minor action in what was a wonderful family vacation with great views!

Riverfront sunset balcony + free covered parking
Audrey and the team were great to deal with and the apartment was exactly as described. Excellent getaway from hustle and bustle of Charlotte! Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful Waterway View w/parking *No service fee!
The unit was comfortable and clean, location was key for us (access to Wrightsville Beach area) as well as being dog friendly. Walkable to restaurants is a great perk. No issues with parking availability and access to the unit was smooth/easy with the keypad entrance. Great value for the location.

River Retreat
This place was beautiful and the right size for the 3 of us. We came from a little over 3 hours away and checked in very late. The check in process was extremely easy. We did not need to contact the host for anything because everything was there that we needed.

Oceanfront home w/ Relaxing views! Pet Friendly
We absolutely loved this Air B&B!! It was beautifully decorated and was even more spacious than the pictures seemed. Erin always responded quickly and we were invited to check in early because the house was ready early, which we really appreciated after driving over 10 hours to NC. Beach views are beautiful!! And you are right on the beach. 10/10 would highly recommend

Star Struck- Oceanfront B/Pool/Steps from Beach!
We had a wonderful stay and cannot recommend this home enough! Excellent access to the beach and the home has everything you could need and so much more! Hosts were very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We would love to come back!

Colorful 3 bdr - beach & intracoastal access, pool
We had the best beach vacation at Kristin’s place. The house was just as described and very well stocked with just about everything we needed for a great stay. The kitchen was one of best for folks like us who cook most meals - plenty of pots and pans, utensils, and lots of dishes. Beds were all super comfy. And the use of the beach towels, chairs, sun shades and toys were WONDERFUL saving us precious packing space in the car. Kristin was very helpful with all my questions. 10 out of 10! Next time we are headed to the beach, this is the first place I will try to book. Thank you!

Oceanfront Oasis: Hot Tub, Fenced Yard, & Views
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!

Cozy Bayside Getaway
The house was in a great location - easy access to the beach & nearby shopping & restaurants. Quick response to a small problem upon entering the house. The house was clean and worked well for our family. Truly enjoyed our stay!

Peaceful with Dock near Beach, Dining, and Events
My husband and I were very comfortable in this home. We had everything we needed. We did not use the hot tub or play any of the games, as we spent the majority of time away from the home, but we were given the opportunity to do so. The coffee was plentiful and the location very quiet and relaxing when we were there! We will definitely keep this listing on the top of our "places to stay" list when we return to Hampstead. Thank you Sandi for sharing your lovely home with us!

The Riverbend @ Old River Acres
We loved everything about the home and location. The pool table and river brought a lot of laughs and memories made. The hosts were helpful and very responsive. We had an amazing time and thankful for the opportunity to stay in this beautiful home.

2 BR - 2 FB - 1 HB Waterfront Home
This country home was a relaxing break from the crowds of the Memorial Day weekend. It was very quiet and peaceful. Our dog, Bruno, loved it, too, especially the large porch. There was plenty of room with a large, well-stocked kitchen, dining room and even large closets. We didn’t have to use the washer and dryer, but there was a large laundry room. If you love a fairly secluded country environment you should love this home. Denise and Angie were extremely easy to contact and deal with. Five stars all the way around!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Seaside Joy - This is your happy place!
Beautiful, peaceful, and serene. We wanted to be near the ocean and this spot was perfect for that. Enjoyed beautiful sunsets, sunrises, walks on the beach, everything needed to relax and unwind. We will definitely be back!

River FRONT | SuperHost | Free Parking!
You cannot beat the location of this condo! We were able to leave our car parked in the deck for the entirety of our stay and walk everywhere in downtown. The amenities were a bit sparse, but the bed was quite comfy. The balcony was absolute perfection! We ate most of our meals out on the balcony.

DT~ Free parking~ Sunset river views~ WiFi~ W/D
The view is incredible from the balcony. We had coffee out there every morning, and my husband even spotted a dolphin! The location is amazing! The condo is walkable to so many delicious restaurants. We took nightly walks after dinner along the Riverwalk. The hosts always responded so quickly, and added nice touches such as leaving us a bottle of wine and candies. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return again.

Island's Edge at St Regis Resort -@ Topsail Beach
We stayed for our anniversary weekend it was very peaceful and quiet. They send us recommendation before our visit that helped planned ahead. The condo is very accessible and just a short walk to the beach. We will definitely be staying here again!

Spectacular Riverfront w/ Parking & A King Bed!
Great apartment with a perfect location. The balcony had amazing views. The apartment was bigger than the pictures and easy to find. Free parking about two minute walk away. The apartment was walking distance from great restaurants and bars.

Water’s Edge
My experience at this Airbnb was absolutely perfect. The host was incredibly communicative. The location was beautiful, and the place was spotless and exactly as pictured-if not better.

The Beach Hive - Oceanview Condo - 2bdrm
The condo was the perfect vacation spot for a couple and our 3 kids. Love the upstairs space & decor. Pool and beach were walking distance. The beach was clean. The area was not overly crowded. Private entrance, safe. Would recommend for a family! Chris was also very responsive & helpful. Thanks for a great family vacation!

Spectacular View Ocean Beachfront Access Pool
We enjoyed our stay at Bee and Joe's. It looked just like the photos and everything was so clean. We took our 2 yo and 8 yo and they absolutely loved it. It felt like home and the kids room was the perfect setup with the bunk beds and trundle. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the ocean from the condo. We could also see the ocean from the main bedroom windows. The washer and dryer were very handy. The location is amazing and close to so many places to eat. It's very close to Surf City and other great surrounding areas. The beach is literally steps away and made it so easy to go back to the condo if we happened to leave something behind or someone had to use the restroom. Bee and Joe were very responsive. Highly recommend and we would definitely stay here again.
