Light and Bright at Pook's Place - Bring the Pups!
This was our first time in Atlantic Beach and we all really liked it and would like to come back. We would gladly stay at this property again. It is in a quiet, private location, yet very close to the action. We were very comfortable with the size and furnishings. The owner even arranged a sign and balloons in the kitchen wishing us a happy anniversary. The back decks and yard were great for our dogs. We like things as quiet and uncrowded as possible, so we went to the beach at the New Bern Street public access point. There are restrooms and an outdoor shower. Once you are on the actual beach, you can only see big beach houses and no businesses, hotels or condos. We also enjoyed the aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, and Cape Lookout National Seashore, and highly recommend both. Having a Dollar General right down the street was very convenient, and there is a Food Lion not far down the road. There are also plenty of beach/souvenir shops close by. Many thanks to Aaron for a great stay.

OceanFront 3Bedroom/2.5Bathroom Dog Friendly home!
What a delightful experience! The house was as advertised and more. Kate provided many thoughtful touches (easy entertainment navigating, extra kitchen and food treats, fully stocked kitchen and cooking aids, games, beach supplies), which were wonderful surprises. She operates a pet friendly house, with pet supplies too. The location is marvelous, and the Surf City beaches are wonderful. She truly is a five star hostess, and this lovely home is perfect for a family/pet holiday.

Little House On The Beach
Nothing beats waking up and immediately being able to see the Atlantic Ocean, great location! The kitchen has been recently redone, which was nice and spacious. The back balcony was half roofed so it was a nice place to sit away from the sun to take in the view. It was peaceful and quiet, everyone around us was respectful of everyone else’s surroundings. It was a blessing being able to take our dog with us on this trip. She felt comfortable in the house and fell in love with the beach!

Luxe Villa – Steps to Beach & Pool
We enjoyed our stay. The foosball table was a hit. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Loved the balconies!

KureBNBeach - No pet fee!
We really enjoyed our stay. The location is wonderful. The room was spacious and had everything we needed. The hosts were very kind, generous and helpful. We will definitely be backs

OCEAN & SOUND VIEWS, beach access right out front!
I absolutely loved our stay! the views are incredible! You can see the bay and ocean from inside the house. So many fun activities around the area and the walk to the beach couldn’t have been closer or easier! Can’t wait to go back! David is a wonderful host and his house is the perfect beach getaway!

Clean interior! Great Location! Pirates' Hideaway
This place was exactly what we needed for a family vacation at the beach. Walking distance to the ocean, close to restaurants, and stores.

#9 Penthouse w/ 360 ocean & beach views in CB!
The view from the deck can't be beat and we spent a majority of our time out there. The place had everything we needed and the market across the street has the best breakfast sandwiches. Best stay in Carolina beach, we can't wait to go back!

Ocean View Condo - Oceanside Beach Retreat - A215
Stayed here for about a week for a romantic getaway with my partner. The place was beautiful and just like the pictures. Very close to the beach and walking distance to restaurants. It was so clean and peaceful. Will definitely stay here again.

Beach Daze
Shari was so kind and helpful. She worked with our schedule when meeting us for the key, etc. She provided us great recommendations and was attentive to our needs. She was worried about an issue but it was a non-issue—-felt like she truly cared for us. Thanks again!

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!

Pool&Beach|Gameroom|View|Gym
The house exceeded our expectations. There is beach equipment/towels available for guests, along with a rise off area by the garage. The kitchen is fully stocked compared to other air bnbs I've stayed in. Check in/check out is super easy and the responsive hosts created a helpful guidebook to answer all questions and even included restaurant/activity recommendations. The walk to the beach access was much shorter than we thought from the map view, so this is a perfect location in vicinity to the beach. The house was spotless when we arrived, all of the linens are high quality and cleaned very well. The mattresses and pillows were also extremely comfy! We've decided that Topsail will be our regular beach spot and we'll be staying here whenever possible!!

Crystal Coast Cove First Floor Entry
Really nice place, convenient to the beach and neighborhood amenities, comfortable bed

Oceanfront home- pool, playground, 3 suites, beach
I’ll mirror everyone else - hate to give this place away. We went for mother day day and birthdays with 2 little ones and my Mother in law. Super well setup for kids. Nice clean pool that gets sun in afternoon. Right next to park. Balconies are great and super well appointed for kids (or families in general). We loved this place. Lots to do even with a few days of rain.

Emerald Isle Condo - Ocean View & Private Access
We had a great time at Williams place. We had no issues but I feel confident that William would have been quick to respond if any did arise. Our only complaint was the bed. It was a little hard but definitely not a deal breaker. It’s in a great location as you can walk to the beach and many local restaurants. We would recommended and stay again!

Salty Winds of the Crystal Coast
Her place looked newly renovated and professionally decorated. Very comfortable and well laid out. Perfect for a family or a couple. Very close to beach

4 Beds, 90-Sec Walk to Beach, 2 pools,Tennis & PB!
My family had an incredible stay at Saltwater Solace! The condo was beautifully styled and extremely clean. We have two young children and the close proximity to the beach was perfect for quick trips back to the condo for bathroom breaks, snack refills, and naps. We really appreciated the supply of children’s toys/books as well as the option to easily rent a stroller from the property. My husband and I also loved enjoying a glass of wine and a movie in front of the cozy fireplace once the kids were in bed. The list of recommended restaurants in the area was also very helpful- Nicole truly thought of everything and was an extremely responsive host. We had the best time and I can’t wait to return- both with my family and with a group of girlfriends!

Couple of Pisces - On the Ocean
Such a fantastic place, right on the beach! They have everything you need, including wake boards, chairs, umbrella. Just a beautiful place on the ocean!!! My second time back, and I'll go a third!!

Oceanside Emerald Escape
We really enjoyed our stay, great location, beautiful home, everything and more that we needed for a week in the beach. Perfect for our family getaway. There was a minor hiccup with the cleaning service when we arrived but Michael went above and beyond to get the situation rectified right away! We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Toes in the sand, drink in hand! 🏖 4BD on Ocean
Wonderful girls weekend at the beach. 3 of the 4 bedrooms had ocean views. Spent most of our time lounging in the chairs on the decks!

Relaxing 2BR Condo | Ocean Views + Beach Access
Exceptionally clean condo with beautiful ocean view. Beautifully furnished and extra touches with high quality towels and linens. Thoughtful hosts left a birthday cake, making our stay unforgettable. Highly recommend!

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

Luxury New Condo w/ Elevator + Ocean Views!
Shavon was a lovely, proactive and responsive host. Beautiful location and home. Easy to walk to public access beach with covered picnic area and clean restrooms. Love the coffee shop and pizza restaurant a few steps away.

“Finally”
Absolutely perfect place to stay. Very quiet and close to beach and everything else. The door lock battery was low and I notified them and they were there the next morning to change batteries. Very responsive. Place was very clean. Would definitely stay there again!
