Mermaid Retreat* Private Pool* Pet Friendly

AliciaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Darlene was a fantastic host! She communicated quickly when I had any questions. Her house was probably one of the best stocked AirBnBs that we've stayed at. The pool was so private, I knew we had neighbors, but could not see them. The house was perfect for our family! We loved Carolina Beach!

Home with Salt water pool and bamboo garden view

SamanthaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I stayed for a little over a week and it was absolutely phenomenal! Walkable, in my opinion, to everything CB has to offer though would be a farther walk to some. The accommodations were spacious and perfect for what we needed. The outdoor space / pool was awesome, spent a lot of time reading / working out there enjoying the sun. Would definitely stay again for a long visit!

Great place - wonderful beachfront with no crowds! 8 adults stayed very comfortably; plenty of space and appreciated the extra half bath off the front hall. Everything was clean and plenty of supplies even beach towels, boogie boards and spare beach chairs. Great AC and heat one night when it was cold worked well too. Easy parking for 4 mid size SUV’s. Denise was a wonderful host always responded so quickly and gave us recommendations!

Oceanfront | Updated + Gorgeous Views + Linens!

JeremyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Perfect location. Everything was clean and it was well-stocked. Check-out instructions were extremely minimal, it was nice to not feel like we had to spend hours leaving like some other places. It is right next to a public beach access, so there was a lot of foot traffic, but the people moved on quickly and settled further down the beach. I wish there were screens in the windows so that we could have opened them, but the sliding door does have a screen which was nice. The owner was very responsive and friendly. We really enjoyed ourselves!

We had a wonderful stay at this beachfront home in Surf City! You truly can’t beat the location — just steps from the beach with direct access right off the back deck. Waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunrise was a highlight each morning. The house was comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing beach vacation. Plenty of space for the family, and easy access to town for restaurants and shops. Communication with the host was excellent — responsive and helpful throughout.

Oceanview Retreat on Topsail Island

ChelsieRating, 5 stars1 day ago
We loved our stay at Bird Lane! It was clean, beautifully decorated, and matched the description perfectly. We easily walked to a restaurant and bar and the beach walk is less than 5 min. Our host communicated so well, addressed a couple questions instantly, and let us know with plenty of notice about a service visit to allow us to plan accordingly. Bonus points for the nugget ice maker!! Book now, you won’t regret it!

The view of the ocean was absolutely stunning—truly the kind of view you could stare at for hours. The deck was perfect for morning coffee, sunset watching, and everything in between.

Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, beautiful escape with top-notch hospitality!

The house was exactly as it was advertised and better. Fully stocked kitchen, 1 house away from the ocean and so conveniently located to everything. The house was super clean and the checkout instructions were super simple. Most importantly, the house's air conditioning was on full blast when we got there. Thank you!

Newly Remodeled Beach Cottage!

AngelaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Our stay at Nicole's was near perfect. There is plenty of room, perfectly located, neighbors were nice, area was quiet. The water pressure was my favorite part, tho my husband said he felt like the shower might put out an eye😁. My only "but" was the air being programmed for 77 at night but we brought a fan and made it work. My husband and daughter's only "but" were the beds, the spare woke her every time she rolled over(it creaks) and the master killed his back but I slept like a log so no complaints from me! Thank you so much Nicole for allowing us to stay and we will definitely be back!

We loved our stay at Marsh Mellow cottage! We were basically a block from the beach and the cottage is so charming! We loved all the little touches and amenities. We were huge fans of the downstairs area for playing games and hanging outside but the sunsets were a group fave from the top deck!!

Flying Turtle | Pet-Friendly Home w/ water views

RachelRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This place is off the beaten path but so easy to get into town or cross over the bridge to the beach! The house was spotless when we arrived and bathrooms were pristine. The top floor with kitchen and living area was so nice and open, and the top deck has such a nice breeze. We sat out often to read and enjoy the views. Even our goldendoodle loved to sit out with us! The house was pleasantly cool, the kitchen had plenty of pots/pans/spices, and the mattress in the primary bedroom was very comfortable. Such a spacious home and perfect for our family of 5 plus our four legged family member ;) Kord also gave great recommendations for local eats- Shaka Taco is a must!
