Luxury Beach Condo | 5 Min Walk to Beach & Shops!
We loved our stay here. It was impeccably clean and the place was decorated with the perfect beach vibes. It was a short walk to the beach and the pool was nice to have right outside the door. It was also quiet even though there was a lot of action around. Thanks for a great stay!

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!

Hot tub, Beach Front, Private, Walk to Restaurants
Loved the location. I wasn't sure about everyone in our group liking being so close to the "hubbub", but that ended up being what something we really liked about the place. Lots of things to do that are walkable. Shops, restaurants, bars, coffee houses, a beautiful walkway along the intracoastal waterway, a kids playground... And the view can't be beat! Well stocked kitchen- like truly everything you could possibly need. Lots of seating on the deck. All the things! Mom was over the moon about her 90th birthday celebration.

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!

Stunning 4 BR Oceanfront Home
Great house for a family trip! Beautiful views, clean, enough kitchen equipment, easy access to beach, quiet cul-da-sac. Bunkroom is mesmerizing for adults and kids of all ages, thick sturdy mattresses. Host is easy to communicate with if needed. Extras listed were so helpful to cut down on packing: beach chairs, tent, towels and toys then inside toys and many baby/toddler items the host will send details on, as well as starter amenities provided, which was good amt and easy to plan for what else needed. Comfortable beds, and there are several extra pillows we would have used but need extra linens, would suggest to inquire about size if need to bring own. A duplex but we had no issues with neighbors, and I would expect anything would have been handled quickly if necessary. If you haven't been before, Swansboro all the way up the island over to Beaufort has so much to offer!

Bright, Quiet, and Cozy, 3 bed/2 bath
The cleanest rental I’ve ever stayed in! Wade puts so much thought into the space and what you may need. It had a great little yard for our kids to play in without worrying about traffic, comfortable beds, and everything listed is accurate plus more. The beach is just right across the road and not a bad walk at all. Thank you Wade!

Cozy *2Br Beach House* with Private Beach Access!
We loved our family get away at Micah’s place. This was our first beach trip with our son and everything at this house was thoughtfully created and played out nicely. The amenities were awesome. We didn’t realize how much we would need their wagon and beach toys!! They thought of everything and it was all in great condition.

Emerald Isle, Ocean Views with Pool + Beach Access
We LOVED this place. The community itself is really nice; the ocean view from the upper level porch was a highlight along with multiple other porches allowing for enjoyment and sun sets; the beds were comfortable, and the interior was beautifully appointed. It's incredibly convenient: close to a beer and wine shop, along with a pizza place in walking distance, and Publix is essentially across the street. I can not say enough things about the hosts. They were generous, responsive, and provided great details and tips in advance of our stay! We had a great time!

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.

The Salty Lime retreat with 23ft boat parking
We had an awesome stay, seamless and flexible check in with a pass code. clean and comfy. A/C and ceiling fans kept it nice and cool, plus there was an additional fan if needed. outdoor area was very private. 10/10 I highly recommend!

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

Amazing Balcony 1 bed steps to downtown Riverwalk
We got lucky and snagged this place for our anniversary. The house was just what we needed and we spent a lot of time hanging out on the porch. Felt peaceful and private, even when the road was busy. Best of all is the location and dedicated parking. 10 minute leisurely walk to downtown with so many great spots (Seabird especially). I hope we get to stay here again!

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

Downtown Hideaway•pet friendly/hidden gem
Greta‘s place was great! Extremely convenient and walkable to really good restaurants and shops. We will definitely book her place again the next time we are in Morehead City.

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.

Oceanfront First-Floor Condo with Stunning Views
We had the most incredible stay at this stunning beachfront Airbnb in North Topsail Beach! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views of the ocean. Waking up to the sound of waves and sipping coffee on the private deck as the sun rose over the water felt like a dream. The apartment itself is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully decorated, with a cozy coastal vibe that instantly makes you feel at home. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and the living space was ideal for relaxing after a day in the sun.

Diane's Dream Indian Beach Condo Escape
Diane's condo is exceptionally well kept and a beautiful view of the ocean! So peaceful and relaxing to walk out onthe deck and kjst enjoy the view with the breeze from the shoreline! Would definitely return!

Atlantic Beach Escape
Logan is a fantastic host. All questions were answered very quickly and he made sure we were satisfied. The room is absolutely beautiful and the mattress is extremely comfy. There was even fresh juice and fruit in the fridge for us!

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!

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.

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.
