Vacation rentals with a kayak in Carolina Beach

We stayed at Ric and Chelsea’s place for a week and everything was great! House was wonderful and exactly what our family needed. Lots of things to do at the house and in a very walkable location. Ric was very communicative. All around great stay.

Phenomenal place. Located right on the canal with kayaks and stand-up paddle boards for use. It is only about a 12 minute walk from beach access 2. It is a Must stay place if you were in the area.

Wonderful place! The sandbar was the most amazing part! We loved kayaking around and swimming! We will be back for sure!!

Amazing hospitality and Rob and Mary are extremely responsive with any questions. We had a great visit and look forward to returning to Topsail and to their home again soon!

This was a wonderful housing experience! The house was cozy and clean and had plenty of space for all the members of our family. It was in a fantastic location that was extremely convenient for us to get to stores and restaurants. Would 10/10 recommend. Kermit and Amy instructions were very clear, and they answered my questions right away, …A very attentive host team.

We contacted Kelly prior to booking to make sure it met all the requirements of the people staying with us, and we were glad that it did. Kelly was very responsive from prior to booking all the way through checkout! It was nice to bring our dog and have a large crate, dog toys, and food bowls already at the house for our dog to use. The bed in the room that I used (upstairs king bed) was so comfortable, and my kids really enjoyed the game closet and books available at the house. The house is about 7 houses away from the beach access (4-5 minute walk). It was an easy walk and the cart with large wheels at the house made it really easy to get to the beach each day. The pier is also really nice, and it is just 4 or so houses away. My kids and dad enjoyed fishing a couple of days while we were there. Overall, the house is a great location, and we really enjoyed our visit to Holden Beach.

We loved the hammock house! It was so peaceful and beautiful. It was also very convenient to be able to walk to the beach easily and there were amazing restaurants and plenty to do nearby. We will be back!

We had a great stay as always at BHI. Especially grateful for all of the little things Vacaysh had to make traveling with our 2 and 4 year olds easier. The kids wore out the bikes and scooters in the garage on the culdesac and loved taking the kayaks down to the salt marsh at high tide. The linens were amazing. Best towels I’ve ever had in a rental. Ultimately love how this rental felt like Air BnB when it just started, a direct connection to the family you’re renting from and a space that feels lived in a warm, not just a rental property with a big property management group behind it. Stef picked up my phone call on the first ring when I needed something and was easily reachable by text. Overall really pleased with the great family time and a great place to stay!

Beautiful home and a very convenient location. The house was very clean and had everything we needed.

We loved our stay here! Such a cute and comfy cottage, perfect for a beach trip; it comes stocked with pretty much everything you could ask for. Loved that it was walking distance to so many shops and restaurants, as well as beach access points, while also being tucked away down the street for a peaceful and quiet night's sleep. Todd was an excellent host as well, very friendly and responsive. Thanks so much!!!

This is a beautiful home. We really enjoyed our stay. This home is in a beautiful neighborhood. Everyone was very friendly. Short walk to the beach and canal. Golf cart is definitely worth having as everything you would want to do is just a short ride and offers free parking. Home is equipped with everything you would need. Very clean and private. Great if you have kids. Homeowner is great as he always responded quickly to any questions I had prior to our arrival. Once you are there, the detailed instructions provided will guarantee a great stay. Definitely recommend and hope to return again.

The house was just as described and in pristine condition. The location was in a quiet area with plenty of local attractions and great dining within a few short miles. Sharlene checked in throughout our stay to make sure we had all we needed. Small instruction notes throughout the house as well as the guest book made our stay a breeze!

We had a great week at the beach staying at Sue’s house! The house was the perfect size for our family of four. It was just a short walk to a public beach access. We also enjoyed kayaking in the creeks behind the house, watching the beautiful sunsets on the back deck, and grilling and eating in the awesome area under the house. Sue was very responsive whenever we needed anything. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great long weekend stay. The house exceeded our expectations, was spacious and the views were incredible. Only a half mile drive to the bridge leading to the surf city pier.

We had such a wonderful stay at this cozy vintage beach cottage! Tucked away on a quiet, peaceful street, it was the perfect retreat for a relaxing getaway. The welcoming front porch was a favorite spot to sip morning coffee and enjoy the breeze. Inside, the cottage has a charming coastal vibe with vintage touches that add character and warmth. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into making it both stylish and comfortable. The space was clean, well-kept, and incredibly well-supplied with everything we needed—from kitchen essentials to beach gear. If you're looking for a place with personality, tranquility, and easy access to Oak Island’s beautiful beaches, this cottage is a fantastic choice. We’d definitely come back!

This was our second time staying at this house. It’s very comfortable, beds have great mattresses, kitchen has everything you need. The walk to town is safe and easy. Savoir Latin restaurant is 5 minute walk, fabulous food. Highly recommend this location. Tucked away from traffic, driveway parking and relaxing front porch.
