Royal Sands ~ Steps to beach!
Used this place as a romantic getaway and it was absolutely perfect! The beach is right outside and the balcony ocean view was everything. Waking up to the sound of the waves was beautiful. The entire place was beautiful and felt at home. Host provided everything we could’ve ever needed. This was such a peaceful experience that I’d recommend to anyone. Great for a solo, couple, or family getaway! Proximity to restaurants, events, and things to do was also very nice. Could walk or drive almost anywhere.

Oceanfront | Updated + Gorgeous Views + Linens!
Perfect location. Everything was clean and it was well-stocked. Check-out instructions were extremely minimal, it was nice to not feel like we had to spend hours leaving like some other places. It is right next to a public beach access, so there was a lot of foot traffic, but the people moved on quickly and settled further down the beach. I wish there were screens in the windows so that we could have opened them, but the sliding door does have a screen which was nice. The owner was very responsive and friendly. We really enjoyed ourselves!

Salt and Sand! Spacious home with ocean views!
Great house, great host. House was clean with everything we needed. Host, Suzan, was easy to reach and very helpful. We will definitely book the house again.

Fabulous penthouse condo only steps to the beach.
We rented this house for a week to share with our kids and grandkids. It fit our needs perfectly and we had a great time! It was a nice layout for family, a short walk to the beach, a bit farther to the shops but we actually preferred that. We borrowed a golf cart from a friend and rode our bikes so not an issue. The house had all the amenities we needed for a lovely stay. Matt and Shawn were very friendly and responsive to all of our questions. It would have been helpful to have directions for using the elevator before we started unloading the cars. That’s it! It was a memorable week!

Steps to KB Pier | King Bed | Open living | Pets
Our hosts were amazing. There was a couple of big storms that tripped the breaker and they quickly let us know where the breaker is. Will even offered to swing by to help if needed! The place was clean and beautiful. The internet went out due to the storms,, but there was so much to do - and we could walk pretty much anywhere! Everyone was talking about coming back 💕

* Dune Daddy * Couple’s Retreat
Dune Daddy was such a wonderful, memorable experience. The cottage is decorated beautifully and being right on the beach with an outside shower and lovely porch to sit on in the mornings and evenings was such a joy. I highly recommend this rental and hope to return there again in the future!

SEA STILTS. Ocean Front. 3BR/2BA. Beds Made!
Sea Stilts is a very nice oceanfront, single level, 3-Bedroom beach house in a quiet neighborhood. I think of it as a bungalow. Walk off the back porch down the steps and you are on the beach. We have stayed there twice now, in mid April and now early May. There were not a lot of people on the beach. That may change some during the summer months, but even if all the adjacent houses were fully occupied I don’t think the beach would be crowded. The back porch has 6 composite “LL Bean” type high chairs with cup holders so you can sit out there and enjoy the unobstructed ocean view. When we arrived (easy entry via digital combination lock), the place was clean and neat. We never ran out of hot water (there were 2 of us), and there is a nice stacking washer/dryer so you can do your laundry. We would definitely stay there again!

High Tide at CB - 75 steps to Beach Access
This place was perfect for a beach getaway. Literally steps from the beach, several great restaurants just as close, and the Boardwalk is a very short 5 minute walk away. Will definitely be back.
Beach house rentals with a pool

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!

Poolside in the Pines
It was amazing the only regret is wish we could’ve stayed longer. There was a slight odor in the house but other than that it was pleasant!!

"Candlewood Sands" Sand, Surf & SEA Luxury!
We really enjoyed the stay! The pool was great, being right on the beach and near the boardwalk was wonderful and Carolina beach wasn’t too crazy! The only thing to be aware of is there are a lot of stairs with this house

2 Kings! Heated Pool! Elevator! Beach Supplies!
From the moment we arrived at Tiger’s Pride, we knew we had found a true gem! The home was in a great location, exceptionally clean, had room for everyone, and everything you could think of needing for a few days at the beach was at our fingertips. We were only a 3-5 min walk to the beach and chairs, cart, and umbrellas were provided. Local recommendations were spot on. NancyPaige was responsive and easy to connect with for any questions. We loved this home and hope to visit again soon!

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!

Second Row From Beach | Beach Views | Private Pool
The house was very clean, new furniture and appliances throughout, and beautifully decorated. It’s in a great location within a short distance to the public beach access. Holden Beach is a family favorite for us and we will definitely be keeping this house on our list for future stays!

Carolina's Perfection: Private Pool And Hot Tub
Ramith’s house was beautiful! Had a great view of the ocean, and was short distance to the beach. It was clean and spacious for our work retreat. Would recommend 100% hope to be back soon!!

Home with Salt water pool and bamboo garden view
My stay was absolutely amazing! The host was incredibly sweet, kind, and welcoming she made sure everything was perfect from the moment I arrived. The space was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. You can tell she really cares about her guests and puts a lot of love into her hosting. I felt comfortable and safe the entire time. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend her place to anyone looking for a peaceful and pleasant experience! Thank you Frances ❤️

Jim and Melissa’s place is awesome! They always ensure the place is clean, comfortable and provide amenities to ensure we feel right at home. Their location is perfect distance to the beach and some of our favorite restaurants/bars.

3BR Oceanfront-On the Sand! Pet Friendly! Sunsets!
The view of the ocean was absolutely stunning—truly the kind of view you could stare at for hours. The deck was perfect for morning coffee, sunset watching, and everything in between. Inside, the place was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully put together to make us feel right at home. Emily was a fantastic host—responsive, kind, and quick to address any issues that came up. She genuinely cared about our comfort and even went above and beyond to compensate us for a minor inconvenience, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, beautiful escape with top-notch hospitality!

Dogs welcome! Walk to beach! Huge 1 bedroom
We enjoyed our stay, the place looked just like the pictures. Upon arrival we had difficulty with our access code but they got back to us and provided another code that worked.

Lil Salty
Our family has gone to Oak Island every year around Memorial Day for the last 6 years and we've always been looking for a spot that we can return to every year. Nothing has been quite right. Until we stayed here. This spot has everything we love. Right on the beach with easy access. Great layout with big beautiful windows. Something fun for the boys to play (air hockey). Really comfy beds. Very clean. Walking distance to all our favorite restaurants. It was great. We will definitely be back!

Luxury Beachfront! 2nd Floor Full Ocean Views!
The condo was wonderful. The whole place felt fresh and clean. Mary Anne was a great host, and had everything covered! We so appreciated all of her thoughtfulness! And the view of the ocean and the private beach access was perfect! We really enjoyed our time there.

The Upper Deck at Lumina by the Sea~Hot Tub
We had a great girls trip! Lovely home with all the amenities you need. comfy beds super clean location location location. steps from the beach awesome sitting area outside and clean hot tub! Lovely decor Cozy Couch Perfect for any trip for any occasion!

Beach Views on Cape Fear
MK’s place is nothing short of magic. We will no longer stay anywhere else on the island- we absolutely love it here! It’s stunning and right in the middle of everything. We feel sad every time we leave.
