Kooks Kabana - Water Front
The location was great- a short block walk to the beach. We enjoyed the porch overlooking the water. Soft bed, adequate cook wear to prepare meals. Overall great stay!!

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.

Take a Break at Shore Break!
We spent a beautiful and relaxing week at Wendy & Jeff's Seascape. The place is EXACTLY like the photos, the view from the balcony is a dream!! Waking up to the ocean sounds every morning is something we will never forget. The apartment is very well-stocked with all the items you need to enjoy the beach, clean up afterward (lots of hot water and good shower pressure!) and cook a delicious meal (plenty of kitchen gadgets). Very easy to walk around the neighborhood, up to the pier for quick eats, or less than a mile to the little mini-mart. Parking is easy. Area is safe. The pool area across the street was clean and fun too! The hosts gave excellent, clear instructions for arrival/departure and even checked in on us via the app during our stay. Thank you so much, Wendy & Jeff!

Totally Beaching - Unit #2
I would highly recommend this rental to anyone seeking a calm and relaxing environment in North Myrtle Beach! This unit was exceptionally clean and tidy, allowing our group to feel right at home. The view from the balcony is stunning and the inside of the place itself is lovely. The location is perfect with an easy walk to the beach! It is conveniently close to a grocery store and several other restaurants, making it an ideal spot for an extended stay. Ervisa, as well as her partner Jon, were incredibly kind and helpful during our stay. She also provided me with her number, ensuring she was always available to answer any questions I had! Overall, a 10/10 experience and I would absolutely book this rental again in the future :).

Riverfront sunset balcony + free covered parking
Audrey provided clear check-in instructions and was quick to give us important information about parking. Audrey was very quick to respond to any questions we had. The property is conveniently located right on the river walk just a quick walk away from boat tours, restaurants, bars and everything else the historic district has to offer, but it was set just far away enough to where nights were peaceful and our sleep was never interrupted.

Quiet, Scenic Little River
On arrival Belinda made us feel right at home with her friendly warm welcome. Her property was immaculate and very well presented. The local area was beautiful with great bars and restaurants only a short walk away. I would highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to stay there in the future. Many thanks Belinda.

A Favorite! Bed nook studio overlooking the ocean!
This was the first time we stayed here, but it won’t be the last time. The place was spotless and the furnishings and decorations were beautiful. Whenever we had a question the host response was quick and helpful. The view is gorgeous! Whenever we stay other places, our backs hurt from the bed. The bed here didn’t hurt our backs and the pillows were so comfortable.

Guest Favorite! Direct Oceanfront Views-St.Clement
This trip is what I needed. Exactly what the pictures posted. The balcony was so peaceful. I would definitely stay here again no doubt about it. Next reset getaway here. Barely moved my car. I loved it

Summer ‘25 Specials, Canal,Boat dock,Walk to beach
This was a fantastic place to stay with our children and an even better location! We have made a tradition of camping at Holden Beach for the past 8 years for my son's birthday but decided we wanted to maximize our beach time w/ less set up and tear down. We were so lucky to find this adorable little cottage! VERY convenient to the beach/pier. The outdoor set up underneath the house was perfect for us to just hang in the evenings. Would definitely recommend this house and stay here, again. Thanks for making our 8th year at Holden Beach one to remember!

3 Mile Hideaway- Holden Beach
Beautiful home backed up to a small water way. Home was as described, very clean, easy to access, well stocked. The home is located roughly 5 minutes from the beach inside a neighborhood. Quiet location. Yard was well manicured with a small dock/walk out onto the water. Seen several fish jump and lots of turtles. Henry was very responsive and helpful with check in. Good restaurants local to the home and near a Grocery store. Would stay here again :)

Inter coastal waterway Beautiful views very quiet
Me and my group LOVED this place! It was so so peaceful and the neighbors were such a huge help. The views of the sunset and the stars were so pretty. i would definitely recommend for a nice weekend stay!

Beach, Surf, SUP, and Bike
We reserved this spot months ago and showed up just in time for a hurricane. John the host sent regular updates on the storm's status and was responsive to any questions we had along the way. The hurricane passed and we got to get out and experience the beach, restaurants and endless ice cream opportunities - all of which John recommended. Having access to that shed of equipment was also awesome. From the fishing poles to the boogie boards and paddle boards, it was all appreciated. Great house, exceptional host, and nice little beach town to visit.

Beach Luxe! 5BR Sleeps15-Pool-PetFriendly-Elevator
We had a wonderful stay at Lyndsey and Topher’s home! From booking through the end of our trip, they were incredibly responsive, kind, and welcoming. The house was perfect for our family—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up for young children. We especially loved spending quiet mornings and relaxing evenings on the porches—such a peaceful retreat. The location couldn’t be better—just steps from the beach, which made getting there with toddlers and an infant a breeze. Every moment of our stay was enjoyable, and we’re already looking forward to coming back!

Ready Reserve Beach Family Bliss
We had a wonderful stay at Sandy’s place. The house was clean, didn’t have a bad smell, and without stains. The kitchen was stocked with utensils and cooking items we needed throughout our stay. We were steps away from the beach, which was great and the views were amazing. The house is located in a perfect spot. A couple miles from the point to view sunsets and 8 miles to restaurants and shops. The house is also located in between 2 public beach access points so the beach area behind the house was never busy with other beach goers. We appreciated the baby and kid items at the house for our family. Our only complaints were that the wifi wasn’t very fast, and the walk path to the beach was a little weedy. Overall this was the perfect house and beach spot for our family vacation. Check in and checkout instructions were simple and Sandy was very helpful when we had questions and easy to communicate with. We have already recommended this house to others and would love to go back.

Beach House on Canal Waterfront with Dock
Clean and convenient! Super nice host! Quick responses and no issues with the house, perfect location

Boat Right Inn-Pool-Canal-Dock -Walk to the Beach!
We did want a place with 4 bedrooms, a pool, and easily walkable to the beach. Which we got. We had 8 adults and 2 small children. The kitchen was well stocked! Lots of dishes and a large casserole dish was a plus. The main deck outside was nice also. Used it more than the tiki bar area since it had more seating. We didn’t use the one upstairs. Only 2 chairs. I do wish the pool had been bigger. It was under the deck so it was super cold (not able to be heated up by the sun) and looked more like a hot tub size. I’m sure it is good when it gets more into the summer months. Just keep in mind it is very small. The only bathtub is in the master suite upstairs. Not in the shared bathroom. Just an FYI. Overall we had a GREAT stay! It’s about a good 5 minute walk to the beach. Nice quiet street. We loved that. The hammock was fun. Do bring bug spray! I didn’t include that in my packing. You are near the ICW.
Waterfront condo rentals

Beachfront Condo, Steps to the Beach
We stayed the weekend as a little beach getaway for our son’s 1st birthday, and couldn’t have had a better experience! The condo was clean and had beautiful surroundings. Very peaceful and relaxing!

Oceanfront Condo-1A-Pet Friendly! Linens Provided!
Perfect location! Just a few steps to the beach on a coded private walkway. Within easy walkable distance to the boardwalk for us & our small dog. Britts donuts has always been one of my favorite places! Condo was very clean. The king bed was really comfy. Amanda messaged after we checked in to make sure everything was going good & that we didn't have any issues with anything. I would highly recommend this condo.

Beach vacation condo at Ft Fisher! Riggings
A beautifully decorated condo that’s more spacious than the pictures and a quiet spot with ocean views . We enjoyed sitting on the patio for afternoon cocktails listening to the waves this week. Chad is an excellent host and we appreciated ALL the extra thoughtful touches and the local suggestions. Perfect for a couple looking to get away to relax. We would stay here again!

Oceanfront Third Floor Condo w/pool (Riggings E-3)
I have to start by saying, this is by far the cleanest air bnb I’ve ever stayed at. The cleaners do an AMAZING job here. We also appreciated having a washer and dryer during our stay. Location was perfect. I’ve never stayed so close to the beach in my life - this is beachFRONT and the balcony is a perfect place to relax and watch the waves roll in. Kure beach is a quaint little residential beach town (just my style) - quiet and laid back but close enough to Carolina beach and Wilmington for entertainment. It rained for a few days so we went to a nearby aquarium and that was super nice too. The little shops and restaurants nearby are charming too. The whole town was colorful, down to earth, beautiful and I felt right at home in the condo. I feel like I’ve found a hidden jewel and hope to come back again. I wish I would’ve booked a few more nights.

Serene Oceanfront GetAway! #NamasteHereYall
This is a beautiful place at the beach. We felt at home in this peaceful space. My friends and I loved that it was both far and close enough to everything. The rental itself was beautifully decorated and the kitchen has everything you need. This is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation!

BOOK NOW 8/24-9/8 AVAIL-OIBs #1 Oceanfront Condo
We had a great stay here. Clean and welcoming condo. Communication from the host was exceptional. You're right on the beach! Beautiful views. Some construction going on around the building.

Spectacular Riverfront w/ Parking & A King Bed!
The condo was in a prime location with beautiful views. The condo was perfect for my husband and I, we celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary there. We had great food at Seabird and the Pilot House. We walked everywhere and enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the river. Tatie was super responsive with any questions and it was very easy to check in and out.

No Cleaning Fee - Condo With Waterfront Pool/Beach
Lovely condo! Perfect size for my husband and I and the amenities provided were perfect. Check-in and check-out were easy and the private pool/beach access was awesome. Tony messaged me when they were unable to message through Airbnb to make sure I had everything I need!!
