Waterfront Studio Apartment
Great location tucked back in an older neighborhood on the water, clean and comfortable sleeping arrangements.

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!

Blue Heron Shack
Susan’s place is cute and cozy on a beautiful waterfront property. It is a perfect couple retreat. The hosts are friendly and helpful with detailed directions (the place is a little out of the way but convenient to nearby towns, restaurants, and island ferries). We love the area and had a relaxing stay.

The Boathouse
Really enjoyed my stay at the Boathouse Apartment! Beautiful surroundings on the water and a really cozy private one room apartment. Great utilization of space and perfect for an individual or a couple's retreat. Great location in close proximity to Morehead City and the boat harbor docks with plenty of shops and restaurants. William was a great host who was prompt and helpful in communications and was very accommodating. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a relaxing stay near the water in Morehead City!

Bogue Banks Retreat
We loved this place. It was clean, comfortable, it had everything that we needed, it’s walking distance to nice places to eat and drink, that are right on the water and it has a pool!!!

Lil' Dock/Riverfront apt./Late Sunday checkout!
I absolutely love this place and highly recommend it to everyone. It's the crown jewel of the area, and whenever I'm back in town, I always check for availability - it's always my top choice. Don't just take my word for it, experience it for yourself and you'll see why it's so special - it's sure to win you over. .

Oceanfront- Crystal Coast Persuasion
Fantastic stay! Fantastic, relaxing setting.... we loved the view of the water. There were some cute Easter decorations inside. The two dogs that live there are amazing! We missed our dogs so much and loved that theirs came to visit! Perfect stay for our family!

Pet friendly 1 bedroom unit with a view!
I was very pleased and Ruth was very helpful

Harkers Hideaway - Waterfront with Private Beach
We truly enjoyed our week here! It was a gorgeous scenery to wake up to each day! The private beach was so relaxing and the house was well stocked and super nice! We will definitely stay here again!

Oceanfront Oasis Emerald Isle, NC
Penny’s place was absolutely amazing! From the minute we walked in the door it exceeded our expectations! The home is beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean and fully stocked with all you need for a family beach vacation. Penny was very responsive with any questions we had and gave many great recommendations for places to eat and shop. Would highly recommended her home and we hope we can come back very soon!

We call it The Point….
We love this place — sparkling water views, peace and quiet, birdlife all around, lawn seating to lounge in every corner, deck seating, both in the sun and shade, and a super helpful host. The cottage feels like you are far away from the crowds, although only 5 minutes from grocery stores and restaurants. Don’t miss out!

Waterfront Retreat! Beach/Sound Access/Sunset view
This place has an amazing feel of comfort, cleanliness, decorated perfectly, beds sleep absolutely amazing, view of sound is perfect, nice window views, great neighborhood and just all around beautiful and bet it’s hard to beat on all these points! It’s a must stay and great host! 100% gonna be back!!!

Bay Breeze Retreat with Calico Bay Views
Loved the communication! Absolutely beautiful and just minutes from everything! Thank you for everything! The kids had an awesome time!

Core Sound beauty! - The Ferry House
Very Beautiful home. Everything was great and we enjoyed fishing and catching crabs. Can’t wait to return.

The Yates Cottage
We love staying at this place! This was our third visit and won’t be our last. Who can resist the large windows overlooking the Sound, the smell and feel of the water and the breeze? The screened in porch, especially when a rain shower came through, was a wonderful place to hang out, have coffee and enjoy the day. I called this our bluebird visit as there were so many around the Cottage. Watching the fishing boats, egrets and pelicans is such a simple but welcome pleasure. So many great memories to take away!

Live Oak Lookout-Waterfront, Private, Pet Friendly
The house is great! The yard is perfectly for hanging out in and the little beach that is present when the tide is low is awesome! We went swimming and looked for seashells—just bring water shoes. There are a couple nearby restaurants and stores for groceries. Atlantic Beach and Morehead City are a 30 minute drive too.

Blue Space - a couples retreat
Great little unit right on the beach. Perfect for two of us. AC was already turned on which was very much appreciated! Everything we needed was supplied: pots/pans, sheets, toilet paper/paper towels, water bottles in the fridge, beach chairs. Walmart wasn't far for anything else. Christine was a responsive host and we loved being guests at her place.

Steps to Ocean & Pool, Shibumi Atlantic Beach, NC
We absolutely loved our stay! The room was perfect for my husband and I. There were so many thoughtful touches that we appreciated like the welcome gift, extra plush towels, fan, and super comfortable bed! The room was exceptionally clean as well which is always important. The room had everything we could have needed! We can’t wait to come again and stay here. Thank you so much for sharing your space with us.

Why Knot Getaway. Rooftop with WaterView! Unit E
Prime location, right in the middle of the waterfront area. The place was as advertised, definitely on the small side but not a surprise as they clearly communicated the square footage, didn’t feel cramped. Great amenities as well, loved the rooftop deck for evening cocktails prior to dinner.

Laid-back Coastal Vibe
We had a wonderful stay here! The condo was very clean and spacious. We had a newborn with us and were able to easily fit her pack and play in the bed room. It is a short walk to the beach and a nice peaceful area. We will definitely book here again! Thanks for a great weekend!

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.

Luxury Studio Villa - Linens Provided!
Alyssa’s place provided everything you could think of! The place was perfect for my new family of 3! We really enjoyed the resort-like vibes.

Serenity by the Sea, cozy beachfront with a view
Was our first time at Topsail and Gina made everything so easy! Was very quick to respond to every message I sent and super nice! Place was so cute and clean and just as described and we loved it!! Wish we coulda stayed longer!! We will absolutely be back!!!!

Luxurious 3 bedroom condo
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!
