Beachfront-Oak Island Memories Oceanfront
The 5 of us old high school pals had a stupendous time. Tons of laughter on the deck overlooking the water. Great views! The cottage had everything we needed!

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!

Oceanview Retreat on Topsail Island
Our stay at Bird Lane was great. The place was just as advertised. Very clean and well decorated. Very short walk to beach. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Top Sail.

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

Remodel! Pool. Hot tub. Fire pit. Steps to beach.
Great location and home for our friends with family trip! The pool and backyard was the perfect hangout and the beach was a quick walk away. Very comfortable for 3 families all with kids! Grateful our fur babies could join as well! Travis was very communicative and helpful. Highly recommend this spot!

* Dune Daddy * Couple’s Retreat
This place is the epitome of peace. Highly recommend this property for so many reasons - great location right off main highway, beautiful view with steps to the beach, nice accomodations with thoughtful touches and best of all, very sweet and helpful hosts, Robert and Emeric. Would love to return and stay longer.

Cozy Quail Shores Lake Gaston
Beautiful place! One of my mother in laws dream was to be at a lake house and this was better than expected. Even with some rain, it was still so beautiful. The dock was lovely and the view from the sunroom was amazing. We loved the fire pit! Not much firewood on the property so got our own. There was also no shampoo/bodywash/conditioner so we got some from the grocery store which was conveniently 7ish mins away. Loved the privacy! Will be back again!

Paradise between ocean and sound – A Writer’s Reef
Really enjoyed the stay here! Perfect walk right to the beach, private access was so perfect. It was right next to the pier so you could enjoy some night fishing steps away from the airbnb. It was really great, very peaceful. Alan was super responsive and helpful! Thanks for a great weekend :)

Couples Cove SelfCheck-in small house(pool, bikes)
Cozy home, close to the beach. We were sad to go. We wanted one more night. There is so much to do!

Pool, breezy porch, w/ beach access
First off. She is one of the sweetest host you will talk to. She offered early check in. The House looked just like photos and more. Loved that she had gates on deck for safety with little kids. The pool was great and loved the short walk to the beach. Very peaceful neighborhood. She had tons of beach chairs and pool floats. We will be back. This was one of our favorite places

Star Struck- Oceanfront B/Pool/Steps from Beach!
We had a wonderful stay and cannot recommend this home enough! Excellent access to the beach and the home has everything you could need and so much more! Hosts were very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We would love to come back!

Beachfront: Light and Waves atop the Dunes
Paradise!! This home makes you feel like you’re living in paradise! The pictures capture the home but to be there live is on another level! The home was extremely clean and fit our family of 7 perfectly but could have easily added more people to the home. We cooked every day and all cooking utensils we needed were in the home. We walked to Food Lion and Duck Donuts (10-15 min) because there is a sidewalk on the main road. I would absolutely come back to this home and would HIGHLY recommend The Beach House to everyone I know who would like to visit OBX.

Poolside in the Pines
It was amazing the only regret is wish we could’ve stayed longer. There was a slight odor in the house but other than that it was pleasant!!

After Dune Delight
10/10 experience. Host was very accommodating, professional, and very personable. We enjoyed our stay and would 110% recommend to anyone!!! Will definitely be back!!

Changing Tides in Duck, NC, OBX
Absolutely beautiful, clean house. Joy was great with response and accommodation. View was beautiful and everything was as described. Thank you for memories.

4BR Oceanfront | Pool | Elevator | Quiet Beach!
The place was beautiful with direct ocean views .. loved that on split beach house on quieter part of beach without ton of traffic listening to the waves crash onshore and enjoyed the soft gentle breeze every evening from balconies pretty ved amazing . The decor was on point. Beds were very comfortable. The host and communication was the best. I had a couple of quick questions and Andrew answered promptly as well as being super friendly before arrival, upon arrival and checkout. Appreciated the care hosts took to ensure us as guests felt right at home. The elevator 🛗 was very handy for my elderly parents traveling with this vacation. We loved grilling out and enjoying cornhole on Mother’s Day. The pool was closed and opens Memorial through Labor - which was ok for us.Overall great experience and exactly what needed as relax, reset, recenter and rejuvenate.

Pondview Retreat
Andy has a wonderful place, loved the decor. One of the most comfortable beds I've slept in away from home. recommend for any with back issues. everything was clean and lots of little extras. Thank you.

Anchor Haven Ocean Views
You can’t beat the location, right across the street from beach access. The house is nothing fancy, but has what you need and the host was great at communicating. Would stay again.

Sunshine on the Sound w/ Hot tub
We chose Jennifer's place for many reasons and we sure did it right! We were celebrating a birthday and made an extended Memorial Day weekend out of it! Jennifer's place is amazing. It was the perfect beach house for us! She has top quality in furnishings, bedding, and accents! The hot tub was an added bonus :-) The location was great as well never more than a 30 minute drive around the island to get to shops, restaurants, and fun things to do! And the short walk down the street to the beach made it even better! We highly recommend her place if you are considering it! You will be as satisfied as we were! Thank you Jennifer for opening up your beautiful beach house!

"Island Time", Peaceful 5 BR Oceanfront Home
Our family had a wonderful time. Being right on the ocean was perfect- our young grandchildren were able to play & enjoy time on the beach then easily go in for snacks or naps without having to pack everything up each time. Beautiful & peaceful setting.

The Ocean Breeze: Oceanfront 3 bedrooms Townhome
This is one of the cutest decorated houses I’ve ever stayed at. A+ for the style and decorating! It was so inviting and homey! It was very clean and the pictures looked exactly like the location. The house is directly on the beach was such a huge plus, though there is only one way to get to the beach through the bedroom on bottom level. If you have older guests, it is difficult with all the stairs; they’ve very steep and we went up and down a lot. However, that’s just an FYI for those who don’t like stairs. The master bedroom on the top floor was a dream; I loved sleeping with the door open and hearing the waves all night. The beach sand was super clean and we loved walking the beach all day. Sunrises were beautiful and we saw dolphins twice a day, 3 days in a row. I would have preferred to have more place within walking distance like coffee shops, shops, and food places, but that’s just a personal preference. Everything needed was within a short driving distance. Absolutely recommend!

Private Oceanfront Home - Oceanview From Anywhere
This place is AMAZING! Steps away from the beach is not an exaggeration. We basically had the beach to ourselves our entire stay. The host is super responsive and kind!

Hot Tub | Stunning Beach Home | King Bed
This place was very nice, it was in walking range of the beach and had a lot of things to do around it. The inside was also very nice with a bunch of space to relax and chill.

Beachfront bungalow with screened-in porch!
Our family had a wonderful time during our stay here. The views were absolutely beautiful, and the direct beach access made it super convenient to go to and from the beach with kiddos. The beach area was very quiet and was not crowded at all during our time there. We also found our first shark tooth during our stay here…directly behind where the house is located. The house was very clean, and our kids absolutely loved the fact that that it had a bunk bed. We would definitely stay here again!
