Stunning Oceanfront View, 2 br/2 ba with Elevator!
David’s place was well appointed with everything you could possibly need for a stress free trip. So many little touches such as snacks and water bottles, coffee pods, extra razors and toiletries, even sunscreen! The condo was spotless, comfortable beds, and great location. I’m definitely going to book with him again!

The house exceeded our expectations. There is beach equipment/towels available for guests, along with a rise off area by the garage. The kitchen is fully stocked compared to other air bnbs I've stayed in. Check in/check out is super easy and the responsive hosts created a helpful guidebook to answer all questions and even included restaurant/activity recommendations. The walk to the beach access was much shorter than we thought from the map view, so this is a perfect location in vicinity to the beach. The house was spotless when we arrived, all of the linens are high quality and cleaned very well. The mattresses and pillows were also extremely comfy! We've decided that Topsail will be our regular beach spot and we'll be staying here whenever possible!!

Oceanfront home- pool, playground, 3 suites, beach
I’ll mirror everyone else - hate to give this place away. We went for mother day day and birthdays with 2 little ones and my Mother in law. Super well setup for kids. Nice clean pool that gets sun in afternoon. Right next to park. Balconies are great and super well appointed for kids (or families in general). We loved this place. Lots to do even with a few days of rain.

Salty Winds of the Crystal Coast
Her place looked newly renovated and professionally decorated. Very comfortable and well laid out. Perfect for a family or a couple. Very close to beach

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!

3BR Oceanfront Balcony ~ Views ~ Pool ~ Resort
Our family had a wonderful stay at Andrew's condo. The views and proximity to the beach were amazing. Condo was clean and comfortable. The Resort had convenient amenities on-site. Would recommend if you are looking for a fun beach getaway.

Beachfront 1st Floor Studio with Pool
We enjoyed our week stay. Room was clean and right next to the beach. Wish it would’ve had a stove top to cook on but other than that the room was great. We will be back next year.

Oceanfront 3 bedroom home; private beach access
We had the most amazing stay. Beautiful house on a private beach. Time we stayed there weren’t a lot of people at all. So peaceful! Straight walk onto the private beach. Probably one of the cleanest homes we’ve ever seen or rented by far. Our pup had a blast too. We were sad to leave and wished to have stayed longer than a week. Great please great stay. April was quick to respond to all my questions. Hope to stay here again!

Light and Bright at Pook's Place - Bring the Pups!
This was our first time in Atlantic Beach and we all really liked it and would like to come back. We would gladly stay at this property again. It is in a quiet, private location, yet very close to the action. We were very comfortable with the size and furnishings. The owner even arranged a sign and balloons in the kitchen wishing us a happy anniversary. The back decks and yard were great for our dogs. We like things as quiet and uncrowded as possible, so we went to the beach at the New Bern Street public access point. There are restrooms and an outdoor shower. Once you are on the actual beach, you can only see big beach houses and no businesses, hotels or condos. We also enjoyed the aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, and Cape Lookout National Seashore, and highly recommend both. Having a Dollar General right down the street was very convenient, and there is a Food Lion not far down the road. There are also plenty of beach/souvenir shops close by. Many thanks to Aaron for a great stay.

OceanFront 3Bedroom/2.5Bathroom Dog Friendly home!
What a delightful experience! The house was as advertised and more. Kate provided many thoughtful touches (easy entertainment navigating, extra kitchen and food treats, fully stocked kitchen and cooking aids, games, beach supplies), which were wonderful surprises. She operates a pet friendly house, with pet supplies too. The location is marvelous, and the Surf City beaches are wonderful. She truly is a five star hostess, and this lovely home is perfect for a family/pet holiday.

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.

Oak Island beach House #1
We fell in love with Oak Island! We will definitely be back and hopefully have another opportunity to book at this beach house! It was family and dog friendly!

Oceanfront Incredible Ibis w private beach access
so much to write about. the location was perfect, the beds were comfy and so many things their use it really made it easy to stay and be comfortable!

Luxe Villa – Steps to Beach & Pool
We enjoyed our stay. The foosball table was a hit. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Loved the balconies!

OCEAN & SOUND VIEWS, beach access right out front!
I absolutely loved our stay! the views are incredible! You can see the bay and ocean from inside the house. So many fun activities around the area and the walk to the beach couldn’t have been closer or easier! Can’t wait to go back! David is a wonderful host and his house is the perfect beach getaway!

Clean interior! Great Location! Pirates' Hideaway
This place was exactly what we needed for a family vacation at the beach. Walking distance to the ocean, close to restaurants, and stores.

Beach Daze
Shari was so kind and helpful. She worked with our schedule when meeting us for the key, etc. She provided us great recommendations and was attentive to our needs. She was worried about an issue but it was a non-issue—-felt like she truly cared for us. Thanks again!

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.

3BR Oceanfront-On the Sand! Pet Friendly! Sunsets!
We loved the oceanfront covered patio with unbeatable access to the beach. The house was comfortable and reasonably stocked with everything we needed. I disagree with the previous reviewer about cleanliness- the house felt very clean in all rooms, especially for a beach house exposed to the elements

“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!

Crystal Coast Cove First Floor Entry
Really nice place, convenient to the beach and neighborhood amenities, comfortable bed

Couples Waterfront Retreat with Lighthouse View
Beautiful property, gorgeous scenery. Very homey and comfortable accommodations. Even little touches like snacks and fresh eggs from their chickens. The hosts were super hospitable, couldn’t ask for anything more. If you are looking for a sweet couples getaway, this is the place!

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!

Sandy Beaches-Soundfront/Hot tub/Boatlift/Pets ok
