OCEANFRONT! Contemporary. Private Beach Access.

The perfect place for some peaceful R&R with private beach access! Our beach is never crowded — even in the summer, as we're on a stretch in the middle of the island that's sparsely populated with just one row of houses (& adjacent homes aren't rentals). Contemporary décor. Unobstructed ocean views. Private hot outdoor shower. Home is updated on an ongoing basis. Always something new... :)

Jolly Sixpence

My house is located within the vacation resort community of Spinnaker's Reach in Emerald Isle, NC and is close to the beach and community pool. You’ll love my place because of the comfy beds, the kitchen, the high ceilings, the views, the beach, but most of all because of the location, location, location! My place is good for couples, families (with kids), and big groups.

Downtown Southport Cottage

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 131 reviews3 weeks ago

Missy was an incredible host! She was always responsive to questions quickly and very accommodating. There was absolutely nothing Missy could do to control the thick NC spring pollen that kept us from enjoying her beautiful porches. I will just have to come back to enjoy them! We had a wonderful girls trip to Southport! The accommodations were great, the kitchen is fully equipped, and everything was clean and comfortable. The location is fabulous, and was within walking distance to the waterfront, shops and restaurants. It was a perfect weekend!

Da Island Retreat - Steps to Beach

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 114 reviews8 months ago

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!

I came into town to visit family and all I wanted to do was get back to the Loft and relax! What a phenomenal setting. So quiet and peaceful and just the most spectacular nature setting. Very comfortable and clean inside and I so appreciated the stocked kitchen, ample towels, comfy beds, and the incredible trip down memory lane with the albums and books. All my favorites!

Wilmington Retreat

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 235 reviews5 days ago

We love the open concept, it allowed all of our family to be together no matter the room. I did love that the 2nd floor had a door at the bottom, it was perfect so that our toddler wasn’t going up and down the steep stairs. Our kids loved the kid section upstairs, It was a perfect set up. The kitchen was fully set up for any meal. the ice machine was perfect. It allows us to get ice, instead of having to run to the market. Showers were clean and spacious and fully set up with towels.

Gwen was a wonderful hostess. She was very helpful when we asked to extend our stay. She was great with her communication and left lights on when we told her we would arrive late in the evening. Her retreat is very quiet and peaceful and we had absolutely everything we needed. The location was perfect and easy to find. We hope to stay again in the future.

Cozy Chalet-Style Pet Friendly Home

4.83 out of 5 average rating, 119 reviews1 month ago

This was easily one of my favorite bookings I’ve ever made with air bnb. I was traveling for work, &had a last minute cancellation with my original booking which left me scrambling to find a place in the same day. Susie was so accommodating, &I really appreciated her fitting us in last minute. The location is great, close to everything, but far enough off the road that it feels secluded still. The yard was AMAZING for my dogs. They loved running laps around the house. One of the few places I’ve stayed that I felt was 100% worth the price payed. Such a fun unique stay! I will definitely keep my eyes open for it again in the future!
