Cottage vacation rentals in Surf City

Great location, lovely place, and a kind and responsive host. We especially loved the walkability and biking to the ferry. Would stay again!

Tim’s place was very cozy, comfortable, and clean. Everything was exactly as described. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful.

Another great weekend at Sherryl’s place and it’s starting to feel like home. Great location with a close walk to the beach, seafood market, breakfast restaurants, and more. We will be back!

We really like the house, Luna Sea at Carolina Beach. Everything at Carolina Beach is within walking distance. Laura was really nice and helpful through the process. I would recommend Laura and Luna Sea to anyone that would like to visit Carolina Beach.

Sharon was a great host, very responsive to any questions we had and gave us some recommendations. The house was perfect for my wife and I, very clean, great outside deck and close to the river. We stayed here because it was close to our expedition to the Three Sisters. Check in and out was very easy and we were able to check in a bit early. Will stay here again the next time we are in the area.

We loved our week at Blue Turtle Cottage! It’s bright, clean and charming. Just a short walk to the beach. Leslie and Kay were lovely hosts. We’d definitely come back if our plans bring us to OKI. The king bed is super comfy!. Thanks for hosting us! 💙🐢

We could not have asked for a better spot to spend a few days on our east coast trek! Close to the beach with applicable beach toys for my boys. We will for sure be coming back in the future!

Absolutely loved my stay!! From check in to check out it was an amazing experience. Will and Morgan’s place is perfect mix of private but also close enough to walk anywhere. Will definitely be staying here again in the future.

We wanted something close to Camp Lejeune and not too far from the beach and this place checked both those boxes. Clean and quiet yet not too far from restaurants and shops. It was a very peaceful and relaxing getaway. Carol was an amazing host.

I have booked multiple Air BnB’s this by far has been the best experience. The home was beautifully decorated and very welcoming. The snacks were an added bonus and perfectly picked! If you are considering booking this DO IT! Board games and books are available. Kristy has equipped that house with exactly what you need to enjoy time as a couple or with children.

This was an absolutely perfect Topsail vacation home! We loved every minute of our stay. The location is absolutely fantastic. So close to the little local shops and restaurants as well as super close to the bridge going over to the mainland.. The house itself was spotless and quite comfortable. Had everything we needed to cook full meals. Plenty of kitchenware for our group of seven. Proximity to the beach is by far the most fantastic detail of this house! The little private sandy beach *yard* attached to the deck is awesome for kids and the beach itself just down a few steps is so amazing. We could even sit in bed and see the ocean waves! This is the best house with beach access and views we've stayed at in Topsail. Also positive to note, the entire property being fenced in felt incredibly safe for kids and was fantastic for our dog. We realized the apartment was a part of the rental unit and we were so pleasantly surprised! It was a great separate space! Overall highly recommend!

It was asolutely beautiful here! after booking, we were so excited to hear they installed extras on the property and we got to enjoy a fire pit as well as the jacuzzi. easy drive to the beach and local stores and shops to entertain everyone. I would definitely come back with my littles next time, there was a lot to accommodate children! the only issue I had was unlocking the door and even though it was 1am, I was able to get someone on the phone to let me inside. wonderful stay!! 10/10

Our family loved this house and location - plenty of room, easy walk to the beach, tennis courts out back, friendly neighbors, easy access to restaurants and stores. Jim was responded quickly when we asked for help with supplies. The spring pollen factor was high - so be ready! We washed the decks and chairs and that improved things. We will return!

Great location, super close to everything in Wilmington! Diane is great, super responsive!

I absolutely adore this cute little beach house. It was a perfect best friend get away. I felt like I was staging in a beach cottage straight off hgtv. My only suggestion is a full length mirror for the females! Definitely would stay here again.

Mallory & John were both very friendly, quick to respond and accommodating to our check in needs and questions throughout the stay. The home was clean and well equipped. Perfect for my family and only 10 mins from the beach! The kids loved the pool and backyard space for fishing, running around and relaxing in the hammocks. My only suggestion would be to pack bug spray for the back yard since you are near the lake (the mosquitoes loved us!) and to be prepared for a bit of a bumpy ride into the neighborhood as there are many potholes in the gravel road leading up to the house. Not a complaint and not the hosts fault of course. Just want to help! We would stay here again :)

Absolutely loved the area and the space! Everything was clean, quiet neighborhood, and close to all of our destinations/attractions! Jeff was very responsive and proactive, answering all of my questions before I even had to ask them! Will definitely be staying again when I’m in the area!

Great place! Close the everything. Very clean and comfortable. Host responded very quickly and was helpful with answering questions. Highly recommend to friends and family. Would stay here again!

Great spot and great location relative to restaurants, shops and the beach. It’s a low key place without many frills but does the trick. Also somewhat setback from the road which makes it feel secluded and quiet. Only downside is only 1 mirror to help get ready for events like a wedding.

Great experience in this older cottage which has been restored enough to be modern without losing the historic charm. We loved having a fenced yard for the dogs and a private driveway. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything you might need. The house was in a great location to make anything drivable within 10-15 minutes. The hosts were kind, proactive, and very responsive. I would absolutely come back here again!

Mickell was a wonderful host! I booked super last minute with kiddo and service dog in tow. She accommodated us with no trouble! Place was wonderful, beautiful and quiet area, easy access for myself and kiddo, fenced yard, and lots of towels and such ready for us! Absolutely recommend for a great beach stay!!

The house was clean and inviting. Enough room for my whole family and dog. Alot of extra things that was there that I did not have to worry about buying, like beach towels, other beach stuff, cleaning products, dog bowls etc. Backyard was perfect for my dog, I did not have to worry about letting her out and getting out. I would definitely stay again if back in Wilmington.

Beautiful cottage. Lots of room for a large family. Good communication from hosts, plenty of beach supplies (chairs, toys, towels), short walk to the beach. Wonderful wraparound porch! Loved our visit. Highly recommend!

My family enjoyed staying at the property for a week at the beach. Walkable to most anything you need in Carolina Beach and is very close to a lake with a walking loop...perfect to take our pup for strolls in the morning and evening (just keep an eye out for the resident geese, as they hissed at us hahah). Very peaceful and quiet too. One thing that stood out to me was how well stocked they were with amenities in the bathroom and kitchen. Little touches like toiletries & coffee pods make such a huge difference. Overall, you can tell that they are very thoughful hosts! One thing to consider is that it is an older building, so you can hear alot of the happenings below you..we had some very loud people for the first few days after we checked in but again, I chalk it up to it being an older building which is common for the area. Furniture & beds were very comfortable...and my husband had a nice spot to do some work in the mornings. Oh & they had an old school nintendo set up...score!
