Guesthouse vacation rentals in North Carolina

I always enjoy my stay at the Cottage. It is peaceful, clean, comfortable and has everything you need for a week or longer. Shirley & Ken are always lovely and incredibly responsive with any question. If I could give more stars I would. My go-to when I visit New Bern.

The Love Shack is located in a quiet and beautiful area. While sitting on porch one can see the water from the bay. Very relaxing. The apartment had all the comforts of home. When I arrived there were fresh flowers and a homemade pastry waiting for me. It had all the amenities one needs while away from home. The bed was very comfortable too. The hosts were very kind, considerate and responsive. I will be returning for another stay in the very near future.

This place was everything I expected and more. It was serene, peaceful, private and just what I needed. Although, the weather was too hot to really enjoy the front porch as I would have liked, everything inside was beautiful and relaxing. I hope to return in the fall or even the winter would be great. I loved, loved,loved everything about it. Brenda is a very attentive hostess and I highly recommend her place,

Awesome spot with a beautiful view of the water! Easy to find, and they gave us a list of all the local spots!

Christine Ann and Bill were excellent hosts, very helpful, friendly, and easy to talk with. It's a beautiful property, and great location to unplug. Quiet and serene. Was exactly what we were hoping for. Thank you very much!

Camille's place is super charming. We were only there for one night, but I wish we could have stayed longer! Her place is in a beautiful neighborhood. I have stayed at many Airbnb's, and this one was a favorite!

It’s a 25 min drive from the OBX but worth the drive! Then again with access to kayaks, a canoe and a small beach we could have just as happily never left the property. Gorgeous views, plenty of privacy. Really a rare gem. On the practical side, I was a little nervous the listing said not hot water- but that’s only the sink, the outdoor shower (very private) does indeed have hot water. We were lucky enough to stay during some cooler summer evenings- I would recommend turning off the AC and opening the windows at night. The breeze was paradise! Craig is an obvious super host: friendly and responsive. Would gladly stay again!

Great place. It was an easy checkin process. The apartment was clean and well stocked with necessities. I only stayed a night, but it was perfect for my needs. I met the owner on my way out. He was friendly and very nice.

Beautiful home, great location and the most comfortable bed! Thank you!

Such a beautiful, peaceful gem of a stay. Erin and Rob (and their friends) are lovely—generous, kind, warm. And they’ve cultivated a true home away from home. Can’t recommend enough!

The view was amazing! Our favorite place was sitting by the fireplace. It looked just like the pictures. Quiet and peaceful. Nice touches with the decor. Anglea responded and answered questions quickly. It's approximately 15 - 20 minutes from Asheville. 10/10 would recommend.

Wonderful hosts, my wife and I spent the weekend at The Nest and loved every minute of it. Greg and Gayle were incredibly welcoming and friendly. Very easy to gain entry upon arrival and the place was spotless. Would very much recommend for a weekend getaway or a “mini-moon.”

Jim is one of the most wonderful hosts we have ever had. He was friendly and responsive and made sure that we had everything we could have possibly needed. His place was exactly as described, but the surroundings and peacefulness were even more than we expected. We enjoyed the pool and the bed is super comfortable! We will definitely plan to stay with Jim again when we are in the area.

Nancy’s place was beautiful and serene. Accommodations were comfortable and quaint, and worth the price. Nancy responds quickly to questions, and makes you feel right at home.

This is a perfect place if you want to get away and have a spa like experience. It is in a very private location behind the main house tastefully decorated with fresh white linens and sprayed with aroma. I was met with calming music and even had a sweet treat in the freezer waiting for me. I would definitely stay here again.

Mrs Angela was very communicative and respectful… She was very understanding and helpful throughout my stay… I will definitely book again… Very sweet amazing hostesses

Adorable little house! I stayed for 3 weeks while on assignment with my job. Super close to my work location, clean. Awesome pool!! If you forced me, I would have to say that the wifi could be faster (2gb). Otherwise, I loved it and would be happy to return! Thanks Allen!

Nice stay - everything went well, and the local shops and restaurants were conveniently located nearby.

I stayed one night at Peggy’s place during a business trip to Salisbury and had a great experience. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and very quiet — I got a great night’s sleep thanks to the dark, peaceful bedroom. Peggy and Brandon were on the property when I arrived and were super friendly. I was also able to bring my dog, and Peggy was kind enough to allow a late checkout for a small fee so I could leave her in the apartment during my meeting. I’d definitely consider staying here again if I’m in the area.

Laura is an exceptional host—gracious, attentive, and truly thoughtful in every detail. She has created a peaceful and welcoming retreat that immediately feels like home. The property is absolutely beautiful, with serene surroundings that invite you to relax and unplug. Her dog, Winston, is the sweetest and feels like the gentle keeper of the land—he added a special touch to our stay. I would absolutely love to bring my family back here again someday. Thank you, Laura, for sharing your wonderful space!

The place was very clean and comfortable. Matt and Haley were very friendly and gave us great suggestions of places to go and see. The apartment was private and peaceful.

Hosts communicate well, there was an incident that had occurred with the previous guests and I was notified prior to my arrival. There was also a blackout in the area and was informed during my stay. I stayed for a weekend while I was attending a wedding. I didn’t use the Airbnb much nor had time to enjoy the surroundings. I can say my sleep was not disturbed during my stay and I enjoyed the bath tub.

It was a great respite for us! Loved the pup area, coffee/tea area, peaceful & quiet, games, etc. Easy access to all areas we wanted to explore. Abundance of natural light, cozy spots, necessities, comfy beds...

The house was absolutely spotless and beautifully decorated. Our host went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home. Communication was seamless! The host was responsive and considerate, ensuring our stay was comfortable from start to finish.
