Sun, Sand & Sea- Top Floor Beachfront Condo!
We loved Emily's place! It was spotless and very comfortable. We had everything we needed and more. The place is very well stocked. The access to the beach is a dream. It's literally right out the back door. Overall, a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!

The Boathouse
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!

Bogue Banks Retreat
We loved this place. It was clean, comfortable, it had everything that we needed, it’s walking distance to nice places to eat and drink, that are right on the water and it has a pool!!!

Oceanfront- Crystal Coast Persuasion
Fantastic stay! Fantastic, relaxing setting.... we loved the view of the water. There were some cute Easter decorations inside. The two dogs that live there are amazing! We missed our dogs so much and loved that theirs came to visit! Perfect stay for our family!

Pet friendly 1 bedroom unit with a view!
I was very pleased and Ruth was very helpful

Why Knot Getaway. Rooftop with WaterView! Unit F
we had a wonderful stay. Walkable to great restaurants and sitting on the roof watching the boats and water activities was very nice.

Historic Swansboro "Seaside Bliss"
Great spot with easy walkability to swansboro restaurants and shops. We had a great time and everything was just a we expected. Will stay again!

Sandpiper
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!
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.

Oceanside Emerald Escape
We had a great time at the emerald escape. The house was beautiful and spacious. I loved how every room had a view of the ocean and how child friendly the home is. We had a great trip and made many memories and will book again in the future.

Welcome to Sailors' Haven
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
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.

Heron Watch
Mel’s place was great with plenty of room for me and my coworkers. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms and kitchen were clean. Couldn’t have asked for much more. Would be a great place to stay for a getaway.

Cedar & Salt-Waterfront/Private Dock/Views/Pets ok
This home is absolutely gorgeous! The decor is amazing and the views are stunning. Beds were comfortable, plenty of towels and great kitchen with everything you need to cook a gourmet meal!

The Yates Cottage
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!
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

Ocean View Condo - Oceanside Beach Retreat - A215
Stayed here for about a week for a romantic getaway with my partner. The place was beautiful and just like the pictures. Very close to the beach and walking distance to restaurants. It was so clean and peaceful. Will definitely stay here again.

Marina View Studio I
Great place to stay! My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights, playing golf at Harbour pointe and exploring downtown new Bern on day 1, and then touring tryon palace, playing disc golf, and enjoying the amenities on property on day 2. Sara’s is a great dinner spot nearby for dine in or pick up!

Beachside Condo~Pool~Steps to Beach~Family Fun!
Great condo with good size living room. It was clean, comfortable, decorated nicely and was steps from the ocean. Our family loved it here.

MillionDollarView-Oceanfront 1BR-Updated!
If you like being right on the beach, this place is for you. Beautiful moon scapes at night. Very quiet area of the island.

Sunshine Daydream in Pine Knoll Shores
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.

Luxurious 3 bedroom condo
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!

Beachfront 2nd Floor Studio with Pool
This is very comfortable and convenient to the beach, and the kitchen was well-stocked. My kids and I loved the pool.

Beautiful condo with ocean views
Kamila's place was just as advertised. Clean, great location to beach and great views. Kamila responded to my messages promptly. My daughters and I had a wonderful time. The place was spacious and had everything we needed. We will definitely be returning.
