Spacious 1 Bedroom Suite at Fairfield Harbour

EileenRating, 5 stars100 months ago
The condo was perfect for our needs, in a lovely area, clean, with everything we needed for the meals we prepared there. Having the recreation center available to us with its indoor pool and hot tub and outdoor pool was an added bonus. We didn't have time to take advantage of other offerings there for fun and exercise. All staff were very pleasant and helpful. This was my first experience using airbnb. Brooke was very prompt in answering all of my questions and I can highly recommend booking a stay at one of her locations.

Ocean Resort & Family Oasis Steps to the beach!

PhillipRating, 5 stars4 days ago
A place at the beach is a wonderful place to stay. There is great activities for families of all ages. The back room has beds for the kiddos and even a pull out couch if you want to split up the kids. The resort has incredible amenities highlighted by the outdoor pool slide. What makes this unit special over other options is the view of the pool and slide, as well as the ease and proximity to getting to the beach itself. The property has several DoorDash options as well as food trucks onsite (check with front desk on food truck schedule) which make for ease for families who want to skip cooking one night. My family of four (ages 4, and 1) had a fabulous time! This unit accommodated us very comfortably and the resort is top notch and very well maintained. I would highly recommend Paul and Deb’s Unit!

Luxurious 3 bedroom condo

ScottRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Anita was great reaching out to make sure our arrival was good, and that there were no issues. We have stayed numerous times over the last 5-6 years. It is a great location, plenty of amenities, and feels the comfort of home. I highly recommend her place you are planning to stay in the Beaufort/Morehead city area. She is one of the best host I deal with when using Airbnb!

We had a wonderful family vacation in Atlantic Beach! Grice, our host has a beautiful convenient place with fun amenities and a very short walk to the beach! He was very helpful and fast to respond if we needed any info! The local restaurants were yummy and a short distance from our condo. There were places we could even walk to!

Our stay was more than what we expected! Ty was responsive, helpful and accommodating. The views were so beautiful! The boys loved fishing on the dock. They caught lots of fish and crabs!

Oceanfront 5 BD Pet Friendly Oasis~ AUG 18-22 open

AlyssaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We really enjoyed our stay at Amy’s beach house. The location could not be beat. The beach was peaceful with hardly any other people around us. There was plenty of space in the house, and we were able to cook a lot of our meals there. They provided plenty of towels and serving ware for our big group. There were a few minor issues we addressed with Amy and she was very responsive. The main thing was the deck was a little run down and many of us got splinters throughout the week. But overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend Amy’s home to anyone looking for a peaceful beach trip with such a short walk (and only a few stairs) down to the beach.

Hilda was very helpful and responsive. Her home was perfect for our family vacation, we loved sitting on the porch and enjoying the views. The beach access is a short walk across the street. The home was very comfortable to stay in, a nice quiet neighborhood. Restaurants and grocery stores are only about 10 minutes away. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Hilda!

We loved everything about this house! Perfect location, great and VERY responsive host, clean! We had an issue where we couldn’t find something (our fault) and they brought us a replacement.

Oceanfront Condo "Beachcastings"

MaryRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This is the perfect location to stay in Atlantic Beach! You can't beat the view of the ocean from the balcony and you are steps away from the beach. Atlantic Beach has a wide stretch of sand even at high tide which is not something you find at every NC beach. Jillian's place was clean, comfortable and perfect for our family of 4. Jillian left great instructions and was responsive, even offered a late check out. We would definitely stay here again.

The Other Side at Southwinds - 2 bd/2 ba condo

SarahRating, 5 stars9 months ago
We just completed our third stay with Marilyn. Our family absolutely loves this spot. It's so nice that our family of 6 can fit fairly comfortably and it's especially great that there are two full bathrooms. We also love how well kept the property grounds are, as well as how easy it is to get to the beach. We just got home a little while ago and my 4 teens are already talking about planning our next trip! Thank you Marilyn!

New! Oceanfront 2bd/2ba - Penthouse View!

AriannRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
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!

Honeymoon Perfect

ScottRating, 5 stars8 months ago
The setting is stunning--up on a bluff overlooking the Neuse River, with a great view of sunsets and a dock for fishing, chillin' or launching her kayaks. The cottage is quirky and authentic and a fun place to spend a few days. It's cozy in a comforting way and has everything you need. If you're looking for something a little remote, with a great, peaceful view, to get away and be alone for a father-son/mother-daughter break, or to hunker down with friends or your significant other, this is it.
