Apartment in Carolina Beach
4.7 out of 5 average rating, 145 reviewsOne Bedroom Condo Minutes From the Beach
Emily was super responsive and nice when I had to call her when we checked in. We brought motorcycles and she was able to alert the property manager so they wouldn’t get towed without the parking pass. The location was fantastic. The tide was super high but we were able to access the beach by walking past the pier bar. We were thankful they had a couple of sand chairs for us to use, since we had to pack light. The shower could use some TLC but it was clean. Overall, a great experience at a great location.

We had such a relaxing weekend getaway here! The beach access was so convenient and we really enjoyed how quiet the area was (the complex and the beach). My girlfriend is a germaphobe and was really impressed with the cleanliness of the apartment. We will be back!🙂

5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviewsMy Shell B
This is a great apartment in a residential neighborhood right next to the beach. It's the main floor of a 3-story house with each floor being a separate unit with separate entrances. The huge back porch was our favorite feature, as well as walkability to restaurants and the beach - of course!

We felt right at home as soon as we walked in. The place was pristine. We loved the area and look forward to coming back during the summer months. We definitely would rebook Michael’s place. You will not be disappointed if you book his place.

Apartment in Wilmington
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 163 reviewsSea Breeze - "Off the Grid "Paradise
Maribeth and John made us feel right at home! The apartment was all that she listed and more; the "kitchenette" had everything you needed to make a meal--she even had fresh eggs, tea, coffee and snacks! The living areas (inside and out) were very clean and welcoming. The surroundings were so beautiful and peaceful. You could relax on every turn~~inside the apartment, in the hot tub, the patio, the tiki bar, the dock on the Intercoastal Waterway, fish, canoe, kayak, bike...!!! It was a wonderful place and Maribeth and John were absolutely wonderful host. 5 PLUS stars!
House rentals with beach access
Home in North Topsail Beach
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 136 reviewsOceanfront Oasis ~ Winter Specials!
We stayed with a group of friends & family with young children (1-4 years old). Amy's house was perfect for our group -- especially with the oceanfront location! We didn't realize how much more convenient an oceanfront property would be with kids since you don't have to lug anything to the beach and you can just pop back into the house 50 feet away! House was the perfect size, had all the necessary amenities (except for bath soap) and was very clean. Check-in was smooth and Amy was kind enough to text me when the house was ready early so our group could go in to put things in the refrigerator and settle in. Would definitely recommend this place for large groups looking to be right on the ocean!

I stayed at this home last summer with my family and they could not have loved it more. It was such a great spot that my in laws begged me to book it again for this year's travel. We loved our stay and found wonderful restaurants to enjoy together while in Topsail. Can't wait to book again :)

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 113 reviewsDa Island Retreat - Steps to Beach
Our stay at the Beach House at Topsail was nothing short of wonderful! The location is unbeatable—just a quick and easy walk to the beach, which made our daily seaside adventures incredibly convenient. The house itself exudes a rustic charm that perfectly complements the coastal vibe of the area. We felt right at home the moment we stepped inside. The instructions provided were clear and straightforward, making our arrival and stay seamless. Minnie, our host, was fantastic—she was attentive and ensured that everything was in place for our comfort. We thoroughly enjoyed the cozy and inviting space, and we're already looking forward to our next visit!
Home in Atlantic Beach
5 out of 5 average rating, 28 reviewsSnowbirds welcome! Newly remodeled!
This was the perfect getaway spot! Far enough to have your own peace and quiet but just right down the road from great restaurants and bars. We had such a wonderful time and Preston was an incredible host. The views were breathtaking and the house felt like home away from home. Thank you again for letting us stay! We hope to be back soon.

We had a great winter weekend in Carolina Beach at Joe and Michelle’s. The property is nice, clean, and had everything we needed (accurate to listing). The area is safe, quiet, and a few blocks from the beach. We also took a short drive to Wilmington to check out some holiday markets and city. Would definitely recommend!

This was a wonderful place, great view. It was quiet, we went in November, off peak season. The place was immaculate, a nice cozy feel to it. We appreciated the Keurig and stock Keurig coffee cups. Vanessa was easy to work with, and we have no complaints or negative thoughts at all. Thanks for the great condo stay.

Would highly recommend! This was our first visit to Emerald Isle and the stay here made our visit worthwhile. Its walking distance to the beach so I loved that we could just walk over after breakfast! The condo was clean and all the listed amenities were available. John was also very responsive and worked with us through the whole booking process!

Condo in Carolina Beach
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 137 reviewsBoho Beachfront Condo with Huge Balcony
The location of Ryan’s home is incredible: it is right on a beautiful and wide beach; it is easy walking distance to stores, shops, and restaurants; and it is a short drive to other amenities. Ryan’s home is a perfect beach getaway; it has everything one needs to spend a comfortable vacation at the beach (and Ryan is very clear about what is not provided)). The kitchen is small but well equipped. The bedrooms are comfortable, and the bathrooms are clean and well stocked. Even though we stayed in December, we spent much of our time on the deck. The deck is large with multiple seating areas, and, most importantly, the views are amazing. We had a great time.

Condo in Carolina Beach
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 135 reviewsDune Our Thing! With an amazing view!
What a lovely place with the perfect view of the ocean when sitting on the Captain's chair outside watching the sunrise and drinking coffee. Even, when you are hanging out inside on the comfy sectional and watching your favorite movies on the Big Screen TV you could enjoy the ocean view! No matter where you were the view was amazing!!! This beautifully decorated place had everything you needed to make you feel at HOME. You will lack nothing! The Sectional couch was so inviting and the King bed was amazing... The kitchen had the best cookware I've seen in most Airbnb's. Amy was very easy to work with and always quick to respond. We absolutely loved this place and will plan on returning in the future! :)
