Holiday rentals with a kayak in Pamlico Sound

Stayed here for 4 days for a local wedding at te Beaufort hotel and loved. Most amazing part was being able to bring our dogs. The neighborhood is really quiet(minus the frogs at night; if you arent use to that theres a noise machine!) We loved having a kitchen to cook instead of take out food all the time. Chairs and towels for the beaches wete nice to not have to pack coming from VA. We'll be back !!

Perfect spot for the two of us and our dog. A reasonable drive to beach access. Fully stocked house for both man and beast. I would stay here again.

Awesome little house. Stayed there for work and it was super clean. Would absolutely stay there again.

Dot’s Spot was the spot for a restful weekend visiting family in New Bern. A 10 minute ride into downtown, but felt like we were in the country once on John’s property. The house was perfect for my husband and I with our pups. Fenced in backyard was an added bonus. Easy walk down to the river, although our schedule didn’t allow for us to take advantage of the amenities available on the water. House was clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay here again when visiting New Bern.

such a cute little town very family friendly and everything is walkable so you still get your steps in. house was great on the canal with a nice public path to the beach a few minutes away!

This place was awesome! Would definitely book again. You get more amenities than you think you do! Absolutely worth every penny!!

This is our third year and it gets better each year! Beautiful house! Amazing surroundings! The view is breathtaking! Quiet and very kind neighbors! Really love this place! Location is our favorite and having a fish cleaning station and please to keep the boat is a plus! Amy is a wonderful responsive host! House is beautifully decorated and so clean! We cooked every day and wonderfully stocked kitchen great for cooking just like you are at home! Highly recommend!

Myself and ten other 30 year old guys stayed at this beautiful place for 3 night and 4 days! We enjoyed the amenities the place had like the pool and hot tub! It was more than spacious for all of us to stay at comfortably. Would recommend to anyone with large groups of friends who want a more private feel to their beach trip. The walk to the beach was short and the beach for the most part was pretty empty which we enjoyed. The host was awesome and very responsive! Will be back to stay here again in the future.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Roberta's Cottage @ Muddy Creek. Very relaxing, very beautiful. Roberta was extremely accommodating, the cottage met & exceeded our expectations. We were pleasantly surprised to to have everything stocked from the fresh clean linens, a washer & dryer and even down to the coffee, so we could enjoy a cup first thing in the morning on the cute porch swing. We had hoped to take the kayaks out on the water but we ran into some friends and had a late dinner instead. We can't wait to come back again the next time we visit the area. Definitely #1 on our list of places to stay. Thank you!

Very secluded and peaceful. Wish the weather had been better throughout our stay but it was very nice to wake up to the sound of the waves and nature. I will say if you have a toddler to make sure to take a safety gate. He made it a challenge wanting to climb the stairs so we went out to buy some for our stay. WiFi is spotty (which is a good thing) but I didn’t realize none of my messages were sent until this morning. My husband and son enjoyed some fishing and caught a few stingrays. I would love to go back later in the year.

Another fantastic Spring Break at the Best Box! The nicest, cleanest, most relaxing rental we’ve ever found. Didn’t think the property could be any better than it was last year, but the owners have managed to make many creative and thoughtful upgrades. Enjoyed days at the beach, days on the sound, chartered a boat for fishing, ate tons of seafood, and saw the best sunsets right from the deck. Literally took advantage of everything in this house - from crabbing to fishing to baggo to flying kites to playing board games to darts and foosball. Oh and kayaking, relaxing in the hammock, and tubing, too.

Linda was a 10/10 host! She communicated so quickly, was so very accommodating, and gave us a wonderful stay. It felt warm- like we were staying at a family home. We will definitely be back!

We had such an amazing time here! She was quick to respond and the place was beautiful! The backyard was perfect for our toddler to play in and I really appreciated that there was a baby gate for upstairs. We will definitely be coming back!

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!

The Mermaid Cottage was the perfect getaway for our family! A clean and beautiful home, a great location where the street is quiet but the surrounding entertainment and restaurants are quickly accessible.

Great place to stay. Beautiful house and scenery.

The host made us feel very at home. They were easy to talk to and extremely accommodating. There were plenty of fresh flowers and produce to pick. The property is beautiful and also has a private boat slip and dock. The property also has an enough “shoreline ” that you could walk and “cast a line” at your leisure. Our dogs loved it here. I recommend this property to anyone. You will not be disappointed. If we could leave more stars we would.

Longacres lived up to the online description. It is a wonderful rustic cabin in the woods. It was the perfect setting for our photography trip to Alligator River NWR but also just a short distance from the Outer Banks. The cabin was a very comfortable place to unwind and review our images after a day out touring the reserve. I particularly liked the porch bedroom - a great "outdoor" experience. Anne was great host and I hope to return sometime in the near future.

If you’re looking to get away and unplug and just listen to the sound of the water and relax, this is the perfect place. it’s very remote. The view on the dock and the deck is amazing and surreal. A perfect place for a getaway to recharge. Only suggestion is to do your shopping for the house before you go to the property as it is a little distance from everything. But overall, an amazing place would definitely book again.

Our 3-night stay at Legacy Lodge Bunkhouse in Windsor, NC, was a delightful escape to celebrate my wife’s and son’s birthdays. The bunkhouse kept our two kids entertained with games, toys, an air hockey table, and bunk beds our son adored. Outside, a mini paradise awaited: multiple fire pits (unlimited wood for $30, highly recommended), play areas, and a covered concrete space perfect for rollerblading and scootering. We enjoyed the wood-fired pizza oven and grilled steaks, though the propane grill needs a deep clean. The thoughtful birthday gifts and decorations for our son, plus a “Honk, it’s my birthday!” sign by host Deena (explaining the passing cars’ honks), added such a warm touch. This peaceful retreat is ideal for families or anyone seeking serenity. We’d absolutely recommend it!

The place itself was beautiful in a nice community with boats parked right outside. There is a community restaurant, and stores in the facility but outside everything is a bit far away. Would come back when it’s warmer to be able to go to the beach and other activities offered. There are other locations offered through their website.. look forward to coming back in the future. Thank you for being so responsive with questions asked.
