Clean, cozy, lovely views, beach access, and more!
This is a beautiful condo and perfectly located for a beach vacation! The unit was comfortably furnished, and the bathroom and kitchen were thoughtfully stocked. Jeanette is an excellent host and clearly communicated throughout the process. I will definitely come back soon!

Sun, Sand & Sea- Top Floor Beachfront Condo!
The condo was really nice. The distance from the beach to the condo was less than 200 feet. Upon arriving the first thing I noticed was how clean and nicely decorated it was. Place was well stocked with essentials. There's a closet in the hall thats stocked with soap, bandaids, first aid, paper towels and everything needed. Appliances were new, clean and functional. TVs worked and the sound bar was a nice surprise as I would rather listen to music than watch TV. I can honestly say I cant think of one negative thing. Thank you for having us. We really had a great relaxing time, and thanks for the restaurant recommendations. We hit Gaffers twice but mostly sat on the deck and ate. That view is fantastic.

Ocean View One Bedroom Apartment - BlesSEAings
Perfect and peaceful location! Beach access was right across the street, so convenient!! Absolutely loved the outdoor shower to wash off all the sand after a full day at the beach. I could hear the ocean waves from the bedroom, amazing! A great beach getaway.

Ola Verde
The host was very responsive and the place was great all around. Views are amazing, parking is out front of the unit. This spot is one of the best for the price and worked well for three people for two nights. I will definitely stay here again when I am back in town.

New! Oceanfront 2bd/2ba - Penthouse View!
We enjoyed our stay here! The beach supplies were amazing, and we had everything we needed for traveling with our toddler. One thing to note is you do have to put the sheets on the beds yourself. That wasn’t clear in the listing, and we waited until we were exhausted to do it later that night which wasn’t very fun. But very minor action in what was a wonderful family vacation with great views!

Toes In The Sand
I love this place. One of my faves to stay when im on the island

Beach, Please!
Shari was very nice, responded in a timely manner. We even left our swim suits in the dryer & she has been so kind helping get them back to us! Beautiful place! Would definitely recommend her place & would love to come back!

Southern Exposure-1 Block From Ocean Sunrise Views
Great stay! Erin was quick to respond and gave great instructions. Would definitely recommend staying here!
House rentals with beach access

Oceanside Emerald Escape
We really enjoyed our stay, great location, beautiful home, everything and more that we needed for a week in the beach. Perfect for our family getaway. There was a minor hiccup with the cleaning service when we arrived but Michael went above and beyond to get the situation rectified right away! We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Feelin TipSea, A modern updated Beach experience!
Loved staying at this Emerald Isle retreat, we hope to be back again next year! Taylor was very responsive and the golf cart made it super easy to head into town and quick trips to the beach.

The Emerald Cottage - one block to beach/hot tub
The most perfect, charming, coastal cottage! The beds, the decor, the location, the cleanliness, and the entire place exceeded my expectations. I will be back!!

Beach Front Home-with hot tub! All linens provided
Being on the beach was awesome! We enjoyed sunrises from the hot tub, going right down our stairs to the sand, walks to the pier, evenings on the deck… It was the perfect setting for our little reunion! The house is clean and comfortable with everything you might need. Location is also super convenient to food & coffee & seafood market. The only surprises were that our space was attached to another house (neighbors were very quiet, respectful, and friendly) and that we had to make our own beds upon arrival and remove bedding before check out. Overall, Emily’s house made our time with people we love even more fun & easy! She was a communicative, helpful host and we appreciate her sharing her home!

House in Emerald Isle: Steps to the Ocean!
This was our second stay at Allison’s place, and we plan on making it a regular destination for our family! The location is wonderful, and the home is extremely clean and comfortable. Allison is kind and responsive, making her an excellent hostess!

“Finally”
Absolutely perfect place to stay. Very quiet and close to beach and everything else. The door lock battery was low and I notified them and they were there the next morning to change batteries. Very responsive. Place was very clean. Would definitely stay there again!

Second Row! Slipper Shell at Emerald Isle
This is by far the best Airbnb experience we’ve ever had. Jon and Leah are exceptional hosts and from our few interactions, clearly good people. They’re accommodating and communicative. We felt very comfortable and at home at this location because it was so clean and well maintained. It’s very peaceful here, a perfect distance from the beach as well as places to paddle board/kayak. You get a beautiful view of the stars on the balcony. Lots of great food places were close by and recommended by the hosts. We hope to have the opportunity to stay here again. If you’re looking for a relaxing, quiet, fun vacation where you’ll feel safe and comfortable this is without a doubt your spot. We’re so grateful for hosts like these two for providing a great place to help make happy memories!

Great location, short walk to the beach, in town
Our stay at Joe and Meg’s place was amazing! Super short walk to the beach, easy to find and get into, and beautifully decorated! The roof access was the coolest part and I loved the screened porch. Perfect beach getaway, couldn’t have asked for anything better!
Condo rentals with beach access

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.

Serenity by the Sea, cozy beachfront with a view
We just returned from an amazing vacation for our 18th Anniversary. It was our first time to Topsail, so we didn't know about no beach access at high tide, so that was our fault. We walked down quite a bit to be able get more beach time. It was nice at high tide to sit on the balcony though. So peaceful and the break we needed. Condo was nice and just as pictured. Thanks Gina!

Beachfront Views, Dolphins! Sacred Sand II in NTB
If you're looking for a quite, restful, beautiful place right on the beach, this is it! Alan was very responsive when we contacted him. He was very kind and came right away to fix the air conditioning vent - which then worked perfectly. We had enough room for our family of 5 (and all the food that 2 teenagers, and a younger sibling eat 🤣). We found *hundreds* of shark teeth on the beach, saw dolphins and watched beautiful sunrises. This place was perfect for our trip to unwind and get away. It was quiet and beautiful. We would definitely stay here again!

50 Sheeps of Gray
We fell in love with the condo and the town. The balcony has the best views but the inside is just as beautiful. We watched wild horses graze every morning and couldn’t believe the amount of amazing boats that stopped by in just a few days. The quaint town felt so safe to explore, people were all very pleasant, cute stores and tasty places to eat. Thank you for your hospitality! Looking forward to our next visit.

BREATHTAKING VIEWS/ DIRECT OCEAN FRONT
The condo was clean upon arrival, and the view was amazing! Lisa was very prompt at answering any questions. The balcony was small but still very nice, and the chairs were more comfortable than the normal wooden balcony chairs that have been at other rentals. It was very quiet, you couldn't hear anything from any neighboring condos. I would definitely stay here again if I chose to vacation in Atlantic Beach again.

NEW LISTING: CRYSTAL COAST COUPLE'S BEACH RETREAT
Had a great time, the space worked out perfectly. Very quiet and super close to the beach access. Great place to stay for one or two people

Modern Oceanfront Condo - All linens provided!
Beautiful place to stay. Loved that even on the rainy day we felt like we were on the beach! I will definitely plan on coming to stay again. Thank you for letting us stay at such a beautiful place Alyssa!

Newly renovated condo with beautiful ocean views!
We had a wonderful time ant Atlantic Beach and everything was as described by the owner.
