Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Carteret County

As an Airbnb host, this is just the best. If you get a chance to book do it now don’t wait. This place quietly screams peaceful, respite from the world! And boy did I need it. Follow the directions and wear shoes if you go in the water! The kayaks were wonderful. Brent is a wonderful person. Places like this is the best part of Airbnb . Experience the best.

Can’t say enough good things about this little spot! Great location! So clean and cute. It’s the illusion of seclusion. We took our boat and enjoyed exploring the Bay River . Oriential is close for some really good restaurants . The porch and rockers were so nice for morning coffee. Shannon is responsive and helpful. We hope to be back soon. Lee and Wendy Cooper

We had a fantastic time at Mr DJ’s house. The location is perfect, and the home was spotless with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Both bedrooms and the living room have TVs, and the kitchen is fully equipped. There were plenty of towels, and the washer and dryer worked great. The bathrooms were exceptionally clean. We’ll definitely be staying here again in the future!

We had a wonderful stay! The property was peaceful and private with a beautiful view right next to the canal. My kids especially had a blast fishing off the dock — it quickly became their favorite part of the trip. The setting was perfect for relaxing and spending quality time together. We would definitely love to come back!

very clean beautiful decor great location would love to stay again next year

The home was clean, well maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. The location was excellent—convenient and quiet, making it a great home base for our trip. Amenities matched the description, and everything functioned as expected. That said, the beds were not very comfortable, and the pillows were quite flat and inexpensive—if you're particular about sleep quality, I’d recommend bringing your own pillow. Overall, a pleasant stay with just a few areas that could be improved for guest comfort.

Great host! Super responsive and very nice! The place was beautiful and as described.

We had a wonderful stay! The home was exactly as described—cozy, and in waking distance to the beach. The host was very responsive and even left snacks for us when we arrived. The best part was the pool. Highly recommend!

The place is a gem if you want to BREATHE! We are on the road quite a bit so to find a place surrounded by nature is a GEM! We LOVED the chickens, the frogs, the birds, the fireflies, deer, dogs cat, Bacon the pig, along with the sweet hosts Tom and Bob. After a day of sightseeing we looked forward to sitting on the front porch and exhaling! If you can, go to the boat ramp to see the beautiful moss laden cypress trees.

Comfortable 2nd floor apartment in a quite neighborhood. Ample parking. Has 3 beds: queen and single in the bedroom and queen-size sofa bed (pretty comfortable) in the main room. Full kitchen with all the necessities, bathroom with shower. Nice open deck - was great to dry out diving equipment. Everything was clean, in good shape and matched the descriptions / photos. A few restaurants within 5 min drive; we found a couple within walking distance. Overall, a nice and clean apartment and a good value.

My husband, daughter and pet dog Mocha enjoyed our stay. We very much enjoyed visiting the Shackleford Banks and seeing the wild horses and dolphins. My daughter and I spent some time on their dock our last night and it was very peaceful, I only wish we took advantage of that more as well as maybe kayaking over to the little island across the way. My only fall back was I kept bumping my head on the walls of the apartment but I was the only one that had the issue, my husband ( who is taller) and daughter did not. Most likely my very own perception issue😜

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 was fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend visit. Downtown New Bern is just a short drive away, and we also got the quiet river view that comes with not staying right in the city. We would absolutely stay here again!

Fantastic stay at Sandy’s place. It was super clean and looked just like the photos. Comfortable furniture and bed. Also, it was very spacious. The location was great too! We parked our car and just walked everywhere. So many good location within 5-10 minute walk. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great Airbnb in New Bern.

Perfect stay for a couples get away. Within walking distance from the waterfront and lots of restaurants. Quaint but beautiful!

We love staying at this place! It’s such a walkable neighborhood and close to many restaurants.

We loved staying here! Great location near the beach and in a private area. Everyone we saw was extremely friendly. The indoor/outdoor pools were another perk. Overall, we had a great time and would love to come back in the future! The condo was right at the beginning of Emerald Isle before going further to the area where there are more tourists-Which we thought was another plus. Thank you!!!

Atlantic Beach was everything we hoped for and more! The beach was practically at our doorstep, making it easy to start the day with sunrise strolls and unwind with sunset views. The soft sand and gentle waves created a peaceful, relaxing vibe, yet there was no shortage of adventure nearby. We explored charming coastal towns, tried fresh local seafood, and found fun activities like paddleboarding and biking scenic trails. Everything was close, convenient, and full of coastal charm. A perfect beach escape! We can't wait to come back! OceansidePearl is a true piece of heaven waiting!

We totally enjoyed our trip and this unit we stayed in. Views and beach absolutely beautiful. Unit was open, clean and decorated beautifully.

My sister and I stayed with my new puppy and we loved it. The location was quiet but convenient to what we needed. Pool was clean. Definitely will be back to stay!!

Everything was great. Linda was very accomodating. Great for 2 people. A little tight for 3 with the 3rd being on a pullout sofa which took up the entire sitting area.

Logan is a fantastic host. All questions were answered very quickly and he made sure we were satisfied. The room is absolutely beautiful and the mattress is extremely comfy. There was even fresh juice and fruit in the fridge for us!

Had an excellent stay in an awesome place! Julie has all instructions and suggested activities organized in handy folders that go above and beyond! Super clean and quiet! I will definitely stay here again, the location is perfect… close to everything but far enough away to be peaceful!

Beautiful apartment very well decorated with European style and incredible views which allows you (from two different balconies) to watch wildlife( dolphins/ wild horses and many different species of birds) but also all the boating activities with sailboats/catamarans/motor yacht etc. Bring your binoculars! It will be difficult to find better in Beaufort because no matter the weather conditions you will love this place and still enjoy the beauty of Beaufort. This place is a gem from January 1st to December 31st! You will enjoy your stay from the moment you open your eyes in the morning , the beds are excellent for your back ( I am a chiropractor!) and your car will rest because you can do everything on foot!
