Vacation rentals with beach access in North Carolina

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!🙂

Donna, one of the owners, met us and allowed us to check in early. She was super helpful, caring and accommodating. Perfect spot for a Long Beach weekend. Just love Kure Beach!

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!!!!

Happy Daze was the perfect slice of paradise for a much needed get away! The apartment was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting out on the front deck relaxing and reading, soaking in the most beautiful weather. Mikey was extremely kind and very easy to get in touch with! Will definitely recommend Happy Daze to friends & family! Hoping to stay again in the future!

Me and my family really enjoyed our stay it was definitely a time to remember, The dogs were very friendly and so we're the chickens, the kids especially had fun rubbing and petting Luna . We will be back soon.

The unit was nice,everything needed was provided. We did notice something that needs addressing.When the switch for the ventilation in the first bathroom was turned on,the overhead light in the master bath switched off. Also,the outlet on the wall by the counter between the bedrooms,isn’t tight.When you plug anything into it,it’s very loose.I’m saying this,because it could become a safety hazard. Otherwise,we enjoyed our stay,and Brittany took great care of us.

Ted and Teresa were amazing hosts— I had a difficult experience with my airline travel but as soon as I stepped into the Airbnb I felt at home! Thank you!!!

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!

Michelle was an amazing host! Her home was more beautiful than the pictures and our family felt like we were home. The home was beautiful, peaceful and enjoyable. Loved it!!

Everything was perfect. Will come back again!

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!

This our second stay at Sarah’s home! We love it so much! It is a beautiful home, convenient to everything and a quick walk to the beach! The house is pristine with lots of room. We love the master bedroom with the huge shower in the master bathroom! Our older grandchildren loved the very large bunk beds! The kitchen had lots of amenities! The huge front porch is one of favorite spots to just relax and enjoy the sunshine. It also has a tv downstairs with a bar area! We will definitely be back! Sarah is very hospitable and is very flexible! You won’t regret staying at Sarah’s gorgeous home!!!!

Perfect location, a quick walk to the beach with everything you could possibly want. Hot tub puts this place over the top. Highly recommend.

My family has been coming to Emerald Isle for 40+ years and this was the first year I rented a place to bring more people. I could not recommend this house enough. It includes modern amenities and finishes that are hard to find in other Emerald Isle rentals. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you may need to host dinner which we did multiple times during the week. The back screened in patio was perfect for card games and hanging out while we waited for some rain to pass. The bedrooms were incredibly comfortable and each had its own in suite full bath. Getting to the beach is incredibly simple. For 5 people we loaded up the golf cart with chairs and coolers and took two bikes. 3 minute ride if that. Everything you could need for the beach is included. Finally, Monica and Michael were fantastic hosts and checked in to see if we needed anything. They even offered to reimburse us for tools to adjust one of the bikes. You can tell they love their home and enjoy sharing it. Thanks!

Absolutely beautiful place that fit our needs. Would definitely return.

This was a great quiet place for my kids and I. We loved feeling like we had the beach to ourselves and the views outside were great!

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay… no issues whatsoever. A lot of attention given to detail. I personally loved not having a t v in the bedroom.. this was my favorite part as Mr would have the t v on non stop!

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!

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay. It was quiet and peaceful, but I think we were there mostly off-season. The beach was great! Sabine's place had all the necessities. Thanks for the great week :)

Thank you for the use of your lovely place.

We celebrated my daughter's birthday over a long weekend in early March. The place is clean, super well equipped (extremely comfy beds), and has an amazing wrap-around porch with a spectacular ocean view and a short walk to the beach! Amazing sunrises! Loved the Veggie Wagon and The Spot nearby, both within walking distance. The location is also a great midpoint between downtown Wilmington (where we enjoyed a nice dinner, escape room, and river walk) and the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher. Although the boardwalk was not all open while we were there, this location is a very short walk to the boardwalk. We enjoyed long walks on the beach, only steps away from the condo. Ryan was very proactive, providing helpful information and assistance. We would love to stay again and highly recommend it!

Loved staying here. Steps from the beach and a lovely area. The home was clean, organized and well stocked.

Fantastic stay! Was everything we had hoped for and more. Will for sure come back again!
