A Wave From It All
My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at A Wave From it All, and it did not disappoint. We stayed for 4 nights, and were able to enjoy the beach and the activities with no problem. The only downside was that the pool was unfortunately closed for our time here, and we had originally chose this place based on the fact that there was also a pool, however that isn’t something Jenna could control of course as they were doing construction on it; we did not know until we arrived. However, the restaurants and the boardwalk are all very close, as well as the beach access being right across from our house. We walked the pond most nights as well which was nice. Overall, we had a great experience here and will be staying again next year.

Why Knot Getaway. Emerald Isle Oasis
Julie and Jeff have a wonderful place! We will definitely look to come back when we are planning next years trip. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Colorful 3 bdr - beach & intracoastal access, pool
We had a fantastic stay! The place is private yet close to all the fun on the island, with easy access to the beach—just a short five-minute walk across the street. The home is beautifully furnished, with comfy beds, a well-stocked kitchen, and spotlessly clean throughout. The air conditioning kept everything perfectly cool, and we loved relaxing on the deck on with peaceful views of the sound. Our grandkid had a blast testing his fishing skills from the dock, and our cat adored watching the boats across the intracoastal waterway. There’s also a nice pool, quiet surroundings, and good parking. Everything you need for beach days is provided—you really don’t need to bring a thing! Kristin is an amazing host—super responsive, thoughtful, and helpful with great suggestions. Thank you again for a wonderful and relaxing stay!

Carolina Beach Cabana Boardwalk and Beach Condo
The perfect place for my dog and myself! The location is ideal, steps from the beach, within walking distance to plenty of restaurants and the Boardwalk, and a short drive to several parks. The condo was spotless and very comfortable. Sabine was a truly fantastic host and I would definitely recommend her and her property!!

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!

Lake House w/pool&tub 10min to beach Dog friendly
Everything excellent, a very quiet and private house, very close to the beach and shops, I loved being there

River Road Retreat - Heated Private Pool, Pond, Fi
This beautifully landscaped secluded getaway is exactly what we needed. The large pond, small walking paths around the property and large screened in porch are a perfect way to detach from the day-to-day. When we stayed in May, the temperatures were cooler and the heated pool made it so much better to enjoy. The kids loved exploring the arcade machines upstairs as well. Highly recommend staying here if it remotely piques your interest!

POOL HAUS- 5 Bedroom Home Minutes to Beach
We had such a great stay!!! This house is in an amazing location so close to Wrightsville Beach. The house offers so many comfortable rooms to sleep in and has an amazing backyard with the pool and yard space to have fun and enjoy. Would definitely stay here again!
Pet-friendly home rentals with a hot tub

The Salt Box Beach House of Surf City, NC
Staying at this Airbnb felt like a true escape. The location couldn't have been better – being mere steps from the beach was such a treat, allowing for spontaneous walks and the calming sound of the waves. It was wonderful to find such a genuinely dog-friendly place; my pups absolutely loved it, which made the stay even more enjoyable for me. The entire atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and I found the off-season to be a particularly lovely time to visit, with beautiful weather and a sense of peacefulness. The property itself had everything I could possibly need, making it easy to settle in and feel comfortable. Amy was fantastic – always communicative and helpful, ensuring a smooth and easy stay. While there were plenty of options for things to do in the area, I also appreciated the opportunity to simply unwind and work remotely in such a serene setting. The upper deck was my favorite spot for getting sun many hours of the day. I’ve stayed in many airbnbs and this is a favorite!

*2 Blocks to Beach, Dog friendly w/no pet fees!*
Beautiful home in a great location! The house is located in a quiet neighborhood within easy walking distance to the beach. The private beach access and parking is a huge plus. The house was extremely clean, especially for a pet friendly property, and had everything we needed for our stay. The fenced in back yard was perfect for our pups. Would definitely stay again!

"TopsailVacay" Pet Friendly Home, Walk to Beach!
We had a fantastic stay at Michelle’s place. The house and amenities exceeded our expectations. Having rented quite a few places in the Topsail/Surf City area, my wife and I agreed that this was a top favorite. Will certainly look here for future stays.

DT 3BR Gem -Hot Tub -Covered Parking -Fenced Yard
We were very pleased with our stay. We stayed with a pet and she loved the fenced and secure yard. As a host, Brian left no stone unturned as far as amenities and attention to detail. He was very friendly, helpful and had excellent communication. The home is beautiful and we very much enjoyed our time there.

Coastal Retreat on Waterway w/Hot Tub
We had a wonderful stay! The property was peaceful and private with a beautiful view right next to the canal. My kids especially had a blast fishing off the dock — it quickly became their favorite part of the trip. The setting was perfect for relaxing and spending quality time together. We would definitely love to come back!

Outdoor Shower & Hot Tub - Central to Everything!
This was a very clean, comfortable and attractive place to stay. The location was very convenient to all the wonderful things Wilmington has to offer. The owners were very helpful with check in and provided a lovely place.

Midtown Parsonage | Hot Tub | Fire Pit | Pets
We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The highlight for us was how kid-friendly it was – the high chair and kids utensils and plates were great. The outdoor space was fantastic, providing the perfect spot for relaxing and playing. Plus, the location couldn’t have been better – just a short drive to the beach. Highly recommend for families looking for a fun and easy getaway!

Free Boat Slip-Pet Friendly Home On the Water
What an awesome place to stay for a family. Everything was just as we expected and way more! All the grandkids loved the fishing and kayaks. So close to Beaufort, Morehead and Atlantic Beach. Just a wonderful place to stay. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your home for the week!!

Emerald Cay East, Spinnaker's Reach, Emerald Isle
The home was beautiful and close to everything. The pool and beach were just a short walk. Jessica and the team were quick to respond. We had a great time! I look forward to next time.

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.

Quaint beach home with access to beach and sound.
We really enjoyed staying here! It was nice being closer to the beach and the marina in Psalter Path. it was our first time on the island and even though the weather was not great we had fun. Thanks David for making sure we had some snacks and necessities in the house!

Toes in the sand, drink in hand! 🏖 4BD on Ocean
Wonderful girls weekend at the beach. 3 of the 4 bedrooms had ocean views. Spent most of our time lounging in the chairs on the decks!

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

Oceanfront Oasis: Hot Tub, Fenced Yard, & Views
The house was exactly as pictured & Beata was so friendly & easy to communicate with. The house was very clean (by far the most clean pet-friendly home we have stayed in). You would have no idea it was pet friendly if you were traveling without four legged children. We can’t wait to return next year!

Golf cart paddle board kayaks yoga
This is such a beautiful space to stay! The views and house make your vacation feel luxurious and relaxing. The main space is open and inviting. The couches are plush and comfy, great for times spent chatting away or watching a movie. (Or a quick nap!) The kitchen is stunning and well stocked. It was easy to make meals together. The pots and pans are fantastic quality, as are the knives. The bathrooms are generally clean, and there’s one for every bedroom. Bedrooms are cozy and the master has an incredible view. There are lots of geese and ducks that come and play in the front canal. The golf cart was easy to access and use. We unfortunately were not able to use the kayaks because how sludgey it was at the kayak launch/neighborhood dock. Definitely check the conditions before pulling out the kayaks! Overall, this is an incredible home and we absolutely loved our time here. Would love to come again!

LUXE Oceanside Retreat | Pool~Spa~Golf Cart~Beach
This is a beautiful immaculately kept house with a great outdoor space and lots to do. We especially loved the game table and the easy walk to the beach. From the golf cart to the bikes, hammock and corn-hole boards, they really thought of everything. Sarah was helpful and responsive.
