Oceanfront Resort at Lucky Sea
Cindy was a wonderful host, communicating promptly to any questions we had. Check-in was a breeze and the condo included all amenities needed for a stress-free beach getaway. Would definitely be returning guests!

Waterfront Studio Apartment
Let me start by saying the home is located in the heart of Jacksonville NC. The view is truly amazing! I felt safe, relax and at home. The home is equipped with everything that I needed. Melinda is a gem, she reached out with me a few times during my stay to make sure that I’m ok and have everything that I needed and also informed me the day she spotted dolphins were passing by. Love this place. Thank you Melinda for sharing your beautiful place.

New! Oceanfront 2bd/2ba - Penthouse View!
We were very impressed with the condo! Clean and updated! Beach was steps away! We really liked decor and homey feel of everything! Felt more like walking into your home than anything! Highly recommend! Lauren is extremely fast to respond and always had the best and most helpful answers! Do not hesitate! You must go!!!!

Bogue Banks Retreat
My family enjoyed staying there. It was comfortable, beautiful, peaceful, friendly, clean, and we literally had the best sleep we have had in the longest time, those beds were so comfortable. We really enjoyed the doc and the pool.

Lil' Dock/Riverfront apt./Late Sunday checkout!
We had a wonderful and much needed get away - Exploring New Bern was great - so convenient and we really appreciated how peaceful Lil'dock was. More spacious that the photos showed and so clean and neat! Enjoyed sitting on the back porch and seeing the sunset.

Pet friendly 1 bedroom unit with a view!
Ruth’s place was perfect for our getaway! We felt welcomed from the moment we arrived and were greeted with a gift and note on how to reach Ruth should we need anything during our stay. From the artistic decor to the amenities provided everything was well thought out to make our stay carefree. Coffee pods, shampoo, hairdryer! We needed a dog friendly rental for our blind dog. I’d contacted Ruth ahead of time with questions and her response made me confident he’d be welcome and safe. The Woof Wall, dog bowls & dog treats reinforced his welcome. We enjoyed the view from the upper deck and saw wild horses from there. We also saw horses when walking along Front Street. Beaufort shops, restaurants & ferries are all reachable by an easy, enjoyable walk away along the waterfront with a picturesque view to accompany you. The whole area was great for bird watching & nature photography! We would absolutely book Ruth’s place again and would look forward to it!

Oceanfront- Crystal Coast Persuasion
This place was very nice, my family and I stayed about three weeks. Everything is as advertised. Well decorated, spacious and comfortable. Mike was a good host and would highly recommend staying here especially in the summer months.

Historic Swansboro "Seaside Bliss"
Pristine VIEWS from inside the home! Unfortunately is was 40degrees outside with a strong wind, so we did not get to enjoy the wrap-around porch. :-( The home was clean and met our expectations. We were there to see family that lived in Hubert and Jacksonville, so the location was PERFECT for us. There are 4-5 restaurants within a block, all FANTASTIC! The "By The Bridge" is literally next to the home and provided some AWESOME food and drink! Anthony was very responsive and helpful. We will stay there again if the opportunity arises!

Waterfront Gracie's Cottage
Thanks Janelle! We had a great stay at Gracie’s cottage. A lot of charm in that place! We made some great memories fishing off the dock and watching the sunset! Thanks for hosting us!

Beachcombers Bungalow - Waterfront w/Private Dock!
Only issue we had, guys are avid fisherman, due to low tides and timing of such, we could not dock our boat at the house. Thankfully boat launch was 2 minutes down the road so it didn’t interfere with them fishing😊. Besides that perfect vacation, beautiful water, scenery, islands to tour and very relaxing time in the evenings😊

Waterfront Mansion - Pool, Dock, game room, kayaks
This place was perfect for my families little get away. private away from neighbors. had great property grounds for the kids and dog to play. the surrounding nature was awesome to wake up to. Lorraine was really proactive at getting me ready for the stay and replied to any questions quickly. we arrived earlier than the check in time and had no issues. long story short it's a great place with an awesome host. highly recommend! she even opened the pool to us ahead of time!

We always enjoy staying on this area. The view from the house was spectacular! We would definitely recommend staying here.

Waterfront w/ Heated Pool & Private Pier
The house was a good size to accommodate our family of 13, and was very clean and comfortable. The views couldn’t have been any more beautiful! There were plenty of things to do around the property, and close by. Garet was very clear with instructions and things to do near by! Would definitely love to stay again! Thank you for allowing my family to stay at your home.

Coastal Retreat on Waterway w/Hot Tub
We had a great time. Quiet neighborhood, friendly neighbors. Enjoyed the hot tub, dock, and screened in porch!

Blue Space - a couples retreat
What a perfect location literally right on the beach! We really enjoyed watching the dolphins play and jump every morning from the balcony! The mattress in the bedroom was so comfortable and the bathroom towels smelled so fresh and clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything you needed. It was super convenient having beach chairs already there for us to use. Christine was super responsive when we messaged her as well. We would definitely stay here again.

Waterfront Condo Getaway
What a gorgeous setting! We started and ended each day on the deck looking out over the water. Andrew was a super host and we so appreciate him sharing his beautiful condo. The place was clean, felt safe, and had all the amenities we needed for a perfect respite. Thanks again!

BREATHTAKING VIEWS/ DIRECT OCEAN FRONT
Lisa was a pleasure to deal with, always answered questions in a timely manner. The place was exactly as listed and had everything we needed. We walked the beach, searched for shells and saw a couple of dolphin pods. There were very few people on the property and it was very quiet. We had a GREAT time and would definitely recommend Lisa’s place. We hope to return sometime.

Luxury Ocean Front
We had an excellent stay. The location was unparalleled, offering breathtaking oceanfront views. The vistas of the sea from the private balcony were stunning. I highly recommend this accommodation.
