Cottage rentals with a hot tub

The Crab Shack! hot tub, 10 min to beach & base
Absolutely wonderful place to stay! My wife and I felt it was the perfect weekend getaway, and Carol showed great hospitality/communication. The place smelled as clean as it looked, and it was very well stocked. Couldn't have asked for a better time!

The Salt Box Beach House of Surf City, NC
Pictures do not do this place justice! The views are absolutely breathtaking! We stayed here with my four kids and they loved being able to just walk across the street to the beach. We also loved waking up to the ocean views. Amy’s place was very clean and the small touches she adds made the experience unforgettable! I would definitely stay again!!

Lake House w/pool&tub 10min to beach Dog friendly
Everything excellent, a very quiet and private house, very close to the beach and shops, I loved being there

Surf Bungalow w/ hot tub!
My family loves this beach house. We’ve visited twice and absolutely plan to come back. The kitchen has plenty of basic supplies so you don’t have to buy every single thing you need (salt, pepper, spices, oil). The location is perfect! The amenities are perfect! There are activities for kids and kids-at-heart to enjoy.

The Turtle's Nest- Oceanfront Cottage - Hot Tub -
This was an absolutely perfect Topsail vacation home! We loved every minute of our stay. The location is absolutely fantastic. So close to the little local shops and restaurants as well as super close to the bridge going over to the mainland.. The house itself was spotless and quite comfortable. Had everything we needed to cook full meals. Plenty of kitchenware for our group of seven. Proximity to the beach is by far the most fantastic detail of this house! The little private sandy beach *yard* attached to the deck is awesome for kids and the beach itself just down a few steps is so amazing. We could even sit in bed and see the ocean waves! This is the best house with beach access and views we've stayed at in Topsail. Also positive to note, the entire property being fenced in felt incredibly safe for kids and was fantastic for our dog. We realized the apartment was a part of the rental unit and we were so pleasantly surprised! It was a great separate space! Overall highly recommend!

Sea La Vie with Hot Tub and fenced in yard.
Great place! Clean, things to do for adults and kids, we loved the fenced in backyard. Hot tub was clean and enjoyable!

Tranquility Now
We very much enjoyed our stay at Zach's Place. He was very helpful and accommodating to all our questions. We felt right at home!

The Coastal Cottage.
Wonderful location to easily walk into Beaufort (just a few beautiful blocks from all of the action). We loved our stay and will definitely be back. Elaine was so kind to offer suggestions of things our kids might like to do!

Pamlico County Cabin - Fish, Hunt, Visit!
This place is really fit for purpose. I take a group of guys there every year. We eat we sleep we fish we repeat.

Pet Friendly Beach Cottage at Emerald Isle
This home exceeded our expectations! The location of this home was just beautiful. The home itself was very roomy yet cozy for 2 families with 3 children to enjoy. It was also super clean. This Airbnb had the best equipped kitchen i’ve ever seen in a rental with plenty of good quality pots, pans, dishes bowls, various glassware for cocktails, and grilling tools. Even plenty of plastic dishes for kids, ziplock bags and plastic wrap! No detail was forgotten. There are plenty of areas to enjoy meals or just hang out inside the house , out on the deck or on the patio. I also wanted to mention there were plenty of towels, extra pillows and bedding for all 7 of us. I didn’t have any issues but reached out to Matthew to let him know we were very pleased with his home and he responded right away. Matthew’s home provided us with the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful family vacation in Emerald Isle and we look forward to visiting again in the future.

The Seahorse Cottage. Built in 2022
Steve’s place is in a nice neighborhood with a great location, close to downtown Swansboro and all the restaurants & shops. Beautiful house with all the amenities you need. The living room fireplace is perfect for those chilly December nights. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dogs with additional area in neighborhood for quiet walks. Lots of sidewalks with very little traffic. It’s so nice to be able to find a pet friendly home that our dogs enjoy spending time at too. Will definitely be a repeat renter on our return trips to Swansboro.

Seaside Cottage - Ocean View - Steps from Beach
Hilda was very helpful and responsive. Her home was perfect for our family vacation, we loved sitting on the porch and enjoying the views. The beach access is a short walk across the street. The home was very comfortable to stay in, a nice quiet neighborhood. Restaurants and grocery stores are only about 10 minutes away. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Hilda!

Dream Again Cottage Golfers Paradise • 5 beds
We stayed a month in this air bnb while our condo was getting finished . Marla was very kind and always answered if we had a question. This was a great place to stay. our Grand daughter came for over night visit and we visited the park right down the street. We got to check out beautiful views at The marina. Marla place was so clean and pet friendly for our golden doodle. We were glad to find this place . I would refer anyone to stay at this nice cottage hosted by Marla she is a awesome host.

OCEAN & SOUND VIEWS, beach access right out front!
Great location. The home is clean, well maintained, and nice appliances including a nice coffee pot. Everything is well stocked - plenty of trash bags, soap, toilet paper, detergent etc. Information and instructions were posted in convenient locations.

Clean interior! Great Location! Pirates' Hideaway
Excellent property. Close to the beach access. We had stayed in the same area the past 2 years. Easy drive to the NC Aquarium, Moorhead City and Beaufort. Very quiet surroundings, although not unexpected as early April is not high season. Beds were quite comfortable. Would rent there again

Oriental Water Front Cottage on Broad Creek
This was our second stay at Chris's waterfront cottage. We were lucky enough to be here during the local Christmas holiday festivities in Oriental. Chris's place was so peaceful and serene. We can't wait to stay again!

Zzz Shell -- Quiet Emerald Isle beach cottage
We had 8 adults in this space. It was perfect for us all. Everyone agreed that it couldn't have been better for 8 adults. Even our evenings at home the living area held us well.

Cozy 3BR Cottage |Fishing|Private Dock|Boating
Coastal Cottage is located in a beautiful area and close to Beaufort, Morehead City and surrounding cities. The cottage was beautifully decorated and it was very comfortable for our weekend trip. Definitely recommend this area and Coastal Cottage. Wish we could have stayed a little big longer. Kim was very responsive and helpful! Thank you for your hospitality!

Cents and Cents-Ability — Cozy Beach Getaway!
This was an excellent stay for the price, clean and steps from the beach with a great view from the back porch. One thing worth mentioning is the driveway is particularly steep, we were unable to get our boat into the driveway without scraping the hitch. Should not be an issue for others besides those with very little ground clearance. Quiet and very friendly neighbors. Would definitely recommend

ICW Waterfront Beach Cottage - Sleeps 9!
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!

Mermaid Lookout Cottage
wonderful place for a getaway. peaceful area, super neat and clean. Denise had everything in place that we would need and lots of little extras from phone chargers, movies, books and games, toothbrushes, shampoo,etc. We felt very welcomed and at home. Hope to come back for a longer visit in the future.

Coastal Cottage with Private Dock
I cannot recommend this place enough! the reason we chose this spot was the dock and yard for kids to play. there are plenty of beach front properties to choose from in the area but this place is special. a home away from home. the options for outside relaxing were amazing and truly offered spaces for fun and fostering connection with each other. we played wifle ball, flew kites, and took out the kayaks for an adventure of a life time exploring the near by islands and shallow water ways across the bay. every day was full of adventure, shell treasures, and ended with porch sitting and corn hole. our hearts were full and truly sad to leave. I'm already planning our next visit.

"Once Upon A Tide" Waterfront cottage
Our stay was Great! Cathy was so easy to deal with and very responsive to all inquiries! We would definitely stay at Cathy's place again!
