"Sea-rinity" Oceanfront retreat

CatherineRating, 5 stars4 days ago

This was thought to be ideal for our stay of six which included four kids ranging 6-16 yrs old...This place exceeded our expectations! Cozy, neat, clean, spacious, loved the gold accents, a balcony w/ beach view and located close to the indoor pool & hot tub for the cooler weather we had. My teenagers enjoy playing outdoor basketball, we all enjoyed the pool and hot tub & walks on beach. Has a lot to offer to keep kids entertained. This is a gated community w/ an active HOA -was a good experience- friendly & helpful with my questions. I did have to reach out to our host first night regarding extra sheets for the trundle bed -they answered quickly and we had the sheets inhand before bed -amazing response and resolution timing. The only thing that could have made this stay better was if there wasn't active construction on and around the buildings and other community buildings BUT that did not stop us from enjoying our stay! We will book again next year.

Mermaids Last Resort

TylerRating, 5 stars4 months ago

Our stay here was wonderful! We were within walking distance to the best parts of downtown Morehead City! Elizabeth was extremely accommodating, allowing for us to have both an early check in and a late check out. We had some trouble with the door lock but Elizabeth was able to rectify it very quickly! We would love to stay here again!

Water View/Access Retreat Minutes From N Topsail

ShannonRating, 5 stars7 months ago

We are so very thankful to have been at Jenn and Ian’s home during our military move and house hunting. We experienced no less than absolute kindness and consideration, and all aspects of our stay were such a respite! We have a large family and pets, and each of us was not only comfortable and easily accommodated in the house layout, but also found plenty to do to occupy our downtime. The kitchen was well stocked, everyday supplies were readily available in ample provisions, and communication with the hosts was seamless and always a pleasure. We would not only highly recommend this home to other guests; we would be more than happy to stay again!

Carolyn's Lighthouse a Bright Spot on the Horizon

MichaelRating, 5 stars8 months ago

Our stay at Carolyn’s Lighthouse was exceptional from start to finish! The accommodations were top-notch, blending comfort and style seamlessly. The highlight was definitely the hot tub and outdoor movie theater—both were perfect for relaxing evenings after a day of exploration. We especially appreciated the host's, Richard’s, friendliness and attentiveness, making us feel right at home. The quick trip to the nearby beach was a hit with everyone, offering a refreshing and fun escape. Overall, this stay exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommend!

"TopsailVacay" Pet Friendly Home, Walk to Beach!

Ashley-AnneRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Michelle’s home is pristinely clean and beautiful! The layout is perfect for a group. The elevator was so helpful for my ADA needs, as well as in general for our groceries and luggage. Between the two decks and fenced backyard, there are multiple outdoor ocean side options for relaxing, meals, or games. Our group also really enjoyed the kayak. Michelle is a great communicator and so hospitable. Highly recommend, and we look forward to a future stay.

Ole Pro’s Sound Side Haven

CrystalRating, 5 stars5 months ago

This place was everything we were looking for in a long weekend getaway. It is clean, cute, comfy and is located on a quiet street yet close to restaurants, historic area and local beaches. The water view from the deck was perfect for enjoying our morning coffee and the sunsets were stunning. Our fur baby enjoyed the gated deck. The hosts are friendly & attentive but not intrusive. We are definitely going back.

Over the Rain-Beau in Beau Coast Historic Beaufort

JamieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Susie’s house had everything we needed for our visit to Beaufort. It was close to restaurants and shopping and near the Beaufort Hotel where our daughter was getting married. The kitchen was well stocked, the bathrooms had everything we needed including items like shampoo, body wash, and paper towels that are not typically included in a rental. The bikes and games in the garage were an unexpected touch! We look forward to coming back for another visit!

Oceanfront, Hot Tub, 2 King Beds, 2 Bunk Rooms!

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviews1 month ago

We chose a very special place for a very special occasion - our silver jubilee. The ocean views were awesome and the constant sound of the waves were quite soothing to hear. The sturdy wooden staircases provided quick and easy access to the beach from both floors of the house. All the rooms were clean and tastefully furnished. The ocean theme of the living room’s furnishings and fabric added a cozy feel to the space. All the bathrooms were clean and contemporary. The full kitchen was very much to our liking with literally everything one would need. Donna responded to all our queries in a timely and professional manner. Her placing an anniversary greeting card on the kitchen counter was a lovely gesture and well appreciated by us. The quaint and quiet seaside neighborhood was absolutely charming. Our dear pet also had a wonderful time. Along with a fabulous weather, the vibes were just perfect to turn our momentous day into a memorable celebration. Will definitely consider coming back.

Sea Pearl-Come relax in the sand

5 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviews8 months ago

We took our teens here for a graduation trip for our daughter. The house comfortably held all 8 of us. We asked for extra towels, and they were quickly provided. The photos do not do justice to the beauty of the home and the views. Sitting on the deck watching the waves and listening to the ocean all day long were spectacular. The house was stocked with books and games. Our young adults and teens (6 of them!) enjoyed doing the puzzles and playing games. The kitchen was stocked with enough dinnerware for all of us. Starter paper goods were available, and we easily replaced them with Walmart delivery. Both Walmart and Costco deliver to the property, making it easy to relax. We used the kitchen and the BBQ daily. Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing bonding time with our kids. And thank you for accommodating delayed flights both on arrival and departure! Sam was very kind taking time to explain everything to us and answer any questions. THANKS! 10 plus stars!

MAY SALE! 5-Star-Pool-Sleeps 6-Steps from Beach

5 out of 5 average rating, 26 reviews2 months ago

Our group had the opportunity to stay at Steve's rental in Atlantic Beach just 1 block from the ocean. It was a comfort space, very reasonable price (since it was the off season), and we enjoyed the amenities that the kitchen offered as well as the aray of fun games at the house. Steve was very proactive as getting us setup for check in and responsive throughout our entire stay. A beautiful area and very peaceful in the winter. We loved exploring the beach and being so close to plenty of restaurants and town. A memorable stay!

This has been a long stay and although we weren’t at our home, we felt like it! They were extremely helpful and accommodating. I appreciate them for working with me and providing an extended stay for my son and I. Every place we travel to daily is within 10 minutes of the location which was perfect for us. I would recommend to stay here any day! Anything I needed or needed help with, they were easily accessible for assistance.

I can’t say enough about our stay at Robyn’s condo. It is spacious, clean and the perfect location. We loved the convenience of the beach and being in a quieter setting but still being close enough to restaurants and the grocery store. The beds were comfortable and the condo had everything we needed for the week. We loved having the front and back deck and all the beautiful views. Thanks Robyn for sharing your home with us!

Oceanfront Beach Getaway | Dog Friendly | EV

4.81 out of 5 average rating, 21 reviews3 days ago

This beach house was perfect four our family of 6. Being able to walk right out to the beach is amazing, and if you don't want to walk out to the beach, the view from the upper deck is fabulous! Amy's place had everything we needed to cook breakfast and seafood dinners. We appreciated the use of the house beach chairs - less items to travel with! Great local produce (Andrews Produce) down the road, we love going to the Seafood Market for the daily catch, and we tried Topsail Steamer (pot worked great on top of the grill). Great long weekend at Topsail and wish we could have stayed longer.

Topsail Turtle - Oceanfront Condo w/pool May-Oct

4.85 out of 5 average rating, 33 reviews3 weeks ago

Lynn's place is a peaceful, cozy retreat from the hustle bustle of life. The place was very clean. Every amenity needed so that you just had to pack the essentials. It was so easy to get to the beach and with two older children, 12 and 16, we were able to come and go safely. The beach and the beautiful view from the condo was all we needed!

Relax Inn-Oceanfront Property/Spectacular View

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 45 reviews2 weeks ago

This home is located on the beach front, and has a spacious deck with plenty of furniture. Every detail in the house is well thought out. There is an out door shower and hose conveniently located so you can wash and not track excessive amounts of sand into the house. There is even container with toys for the kid. Inside the house has nice furniture and comfortable beds. The host provided plenty of extra blankets and towels. The small room accessed in the garage is a little out of the way, but the children loved it. It became their little hide out, they were there a lot more than I thought they would be. The kitchen is fulling equipped with anything you need to prepare a family meal, all we had to do was bring some groceries. They also provided a basket of snacks, which everyone enjoyed. We specially loved the view and peaceful setting. Debbie and Russell are great hosts very responsive and helpful, Thanks for an awesome stay.

LennoxRating, 5 stars3 months ago

The house was just as described and had all the amenities you would want--except usually air bnb's have a starter bit of coffee so you do not have to go out after a long drive. So just pack a jar of instant to tide you over until you can get to the grocery. Other than that little thing, the house was perfect in a quite location yet close to downtown. We would highly recommend it.
