Vacation rentals with a kayak in Emerald Isle

When other spring break plans fell through, we found this place last minute and Michael was so accommodating and flexible, and my son and myself could not be more appreciative. We were very lucky to have found this beautiful spot right on the canal! All kinds of entertainment: the kayaks, paddle boards, ping-pong, darts, well stocked! Michael was very responsive, the place was bright and open, with a gorgeous screened in back deck. It was very peaceful with the sounds of the seagulls, the masts, and the boats going by, what a treat…

We could not have been happier with our 2 month stay at Serenity by the Sea. The house is new and spotless, the kitchen is well equipped and the beds are very comfortable so everything together made it feel like home. Thank you Bonnie for being a great host.

Beautiful home, spotlessly clean in beautiful surroundings. Kitchen was well stocked and it was fun to use the provided kayaks!

Jessie’s place was absolutely amazing. Extremely clean and very well appointed. We loved the pool and it was a very short walk to the beach. The location is very close to restaurants and public beach’s as well. The only issue was that our vacation was cut short by tropical storm Debbie. Can’t wait to rent with Jessie again in the future.

Very nice spot in Surf City, very spacious and conveniently located, near most of places in town and to Topsail and other beches for day trips. The house is well stock with all essentials you need for weekend break and even more, just perfect for up to two families with kids, my kids always enjoy bunk beds and games. Kayaks were a plus, all in good shape and dock is very near just to walk. Nick was very responsive and prompt for any questions, will return when visiting Wilmington.

The house was beautiful and everything was perfect. Isaac was very responsive and helpful. Having access to the backyard to take our dogs out was so convenient. We would absolutely stay here again!

Enjoyed our stay. Teenager loved fishing in the paddle boat.

The serene and peaceful setting was beautifully located on an 11 acre lake. It had a walking path, and there was a 5 minute walk to the beach. The house was located on a dead-end street and was very quiet. It was immaculate, roomy and had a fantastic front lanai. Hosts checked in a number of times and were always gracious. Plenty of places to eat. The Veggie Wagon, a 3 minute walk from the house had many food choices, including ready-to-bake meals we could just pop in the oven. This VRBO is just as advertised. Both of us would highly recommend The Happy House, and will return.

Second time staying here, and we still love the lovely house, the location, the views of the canal and OIB. Plenty of space for our 6 member family, close to beach (3 minute walk), private canal pier. Highly recommend, just make sure to pack toiletries and linens!

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!

We LOVED this place. The dock was perfect for the boys to fish and catch shrimp. The location was a quick walk to the beach for the girls and a short distance to the boat launch. We’ll definitely go back!

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

As advertised! Would recommend and hope to return. Everything was great! There is not one negative I can think of. One of the best places we have stayed through Air BnB. Sue was a great host, super clean, comfy beds, plenty of space, well equipped kitchen, excellent location.

Great location just far enough from noise of downtown but still a good walk. Nice back porch for sun and front for shade and people watching. Plenty of bikes to choose from. Good separation of space with two bedrooms on each side of house. Nice extra den area with additional tv to spread out. Issue with plumbing was addressed quickly by Jessica. Have stayed in numerous Airbnbs in Beaufort and this is at the top of the list.

We loved everything about his place. My grandkids loved the dock because they could fish right in the backyard and we could see them from the back decks. We saw dolphins a few morning and even saw a stingray from the dock. Frederick was an awesome host. We would love to come back early spring or fall so they could catch some fish. Thank you we made some great memories! Beautiful and so peaceful!

Second time that I have been here and it was just as amazing as the first time. It is literally a play ground with all the water activities right at your fingertips and the sunrises and sunsets are picturesque!!!
