The Boathouse

JamieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Really enjoyed my stay at the Boathouse Apartment! Beautiful surroundings on the water and a really cozy private one room apartment. Great utilization of space and perfect for an individual or a couple's retreat. Great location in close proximity to Morehead City and the boat harbor docks with plenty of shops and restaurants. William was a great host who was prompt and helpful in communications and was very accommodating. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a relaxing stay near the water in Morehead City!

We really enjoyed our stay. First visit on the Carolina Coast, beautiful country. We found lots to do to keep busy. The location of the property is great for low traffic and low stress. Just as described with the extras you would need for a day at the beach. Highly recommended…. Hope to return.

Light and Bright at Pook's Place - Bring the Pups!

JenniferRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved staying here, would definitely stay here again. The house was very nice and clean. Perfect location for us. I loved the view of the inlet/marsh area and the set up of the backyard. I enjoyed going out there but for me I wouldn't just let my dog run through it, I was also more worried about snakes with the marsh right there especially at night and how grown up the area was. But this house was perfect for what we needed for the week and perfect for our dog. Hope to be back.

Our Children are sailors and this place was a perfect fit that was better than described. The personal touches and amenities for our family will have us back on the next trip. We have a child at Camp Seagull and this made our drop off seamless while being able to check out the local community within close walking distance. Community was super friendly and Lisa was an amazing host! We’ll be back!

The Angler's Retreat

MelissaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We were visiting friends who live in Marshallberg so this Airbnb was perfect. It’s a quiet residential area. Not much going on in the immediate area, but nearby towns are quite nice. Comfortable, clean house. Good for a couple or 2 adults and 2 kids. The second bedroom is really tiny.

The Yates Cottage

ElizabethRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We love staying at this place! This was our third visit and won’t be our last. Who can resist the large windows overlooking the Sound, the smell and feel of the water and the breeze? The screened in porch, especially when a rain shower came through, was a wonderful place to hang out, have coffee and enjoy the day. I called this our bluebird visit as there were so many around the Cottage. Watching the fishing boats, egrets and pelicans is such a simple but welcome pleasure. So many great memories to take away!

Captain’s Quarters - Private Beach Access!

EdwardRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Ben and Megi's place is VERY clean and well stocked. Each of the two floors has a king master suite and second bedroom, a living room, kitchen or kitchenette and deck. GREAT place for either a few couples to stay or for families with a few teens. There are tons of new board games and card games to stay entertained at night so we never even used the massive new TVs. The cul de sac is quiet despite backing up to the busy street (we didn't hear the church or the city works or anything) and the beach is a very close walk making it really easy to go back and forth. The beach is wide open because there is no public access nearby so you can take your time getting over there each day. We brought our own cart so we would have two carts (they provide one) and there are many chairs that are all brand new. Food Lion is a few minutes away as are many restaurants and it's a quick drive to Beaufort, Morehead City or Fort Macon if you want to explore a bit more. Would definitely stay here again

Sunshine Daydream in Pine Knoll Shores

PhyllisRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The condo was spotless and beautifully appointed. The location is facing the beach with easy elevator access to the 3rd floor. Access to the beach itself was very easy— a primary consideration for one of our party with limited mobility. We appreciated the recycling, limited use of plastics, and eco supply of body wash in the bathrooms. Instructions were clear and everything was beautifully organized. We really enjoyed our time here.

Anita was great reaching out to make sure our arrival was good, and that there were no issues. We have stayed numerous times over the last 5-6 years. It is a great location, plenty of amenities, and feels the comfort of home. I highly recommend her place you are planning to stay in the Beaufort/Morehead city area. She is one of the best host I deal with when using Airbnb!
