Spacious 1 Bedroom Suite at Fairfield Harbour
The condo was perfect for our needs, in a lovely area, clean, with everything we needed for the meals we prepared there. Having the recreation center available to us with its indoor pool and hot tub and outdoor pool was an added bonus. We didn't have time to take advantage of other offerings there for fun and exercise. All staff were very pleasant and helpful. This was my first experience using airbnb. Brooke was very prompt in answering all of my questions and I can highly recommend booking a stay at one of her locations.

OCEAN VIEW, SPA-LIKE. POOL, BEACH BOARDWALK.
Very nice place to stay! Would def stay again. Private and perfectly located in safe neighborhood.

Oak Island 3 bedrooms, walk to beach, pool table
Wonderful stay!! Perfect location for everything!

Luxurious 3 bedroom condo
Anita was great reaching out to make sure our arrival was good, and that there were no issues. We have stayed numerous times over the last 5-6 years. It is a great location, plenty of amenities, and feels the comfort of home. I highly recommend her place you are planning to stay in the Beaufort/Morehead city area. She is one of the best host I deal with when using Airbnb!

Relaxing Screened Porch, Hot Tub and Walk to Beach
I had an amazing stay at this beach rental house! The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day of fun in the sun. The house was spotless and well-maintained, which made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The host was exceptionally responsive and made sure we had everything we needed, from check-in to check-out. We appreciated the thoughtful initial items provided, which made settling in so easy. The location couldn't have been better—just a short walk to the beach and close to great restaurants, making it so convenient to enjoy everything the area has to offer. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic beach getaway!

Sea2Sky | Oceanfront, Private Pool & HotTub
Beautiful ocean front home with plenty of space for our large group. Very quiet community with beach access that felt almost private. Close proximity to restaurants and coffee shops with a short drive to the Carolina Beach area. The host was responsive and helpful prior to check-in and facilitated an early arrival. I think it’s important to note the only free parking is a two-car garage that can hold up to two midsize SUVs. There is not a driveway; therefore, if you have a bigger vehicle, plan to park on the street and pay daily parking fees. We will definitely plan another visit in this property.

The Peaceful Place with Private Hot Tub!
Thank you for letting us stay in your home while working out of town. Very satisfied with home and would recommend it to anyone! Thank you again.

Relax. Recharge. Ocean View Escape @ Beachfront

Ocean Breeze, Beautiful Ocean Front Townhome
Rob's place is the perfect retreat for rest and relaxation! The view from the master bedroom's upstairs deck is wonderful. Leave the door open at night and be lulled to sleep with the calming sounds of waves. The sunrises are spectacular! The beach is not crowded and there is plenty of space for all your beach gear, tents, chairs, etc. Rob's Ocean Breeze (ocean front) townhouse is spacious with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. The place is very clean and decorated in a coastal theme. He provides all the amenities you need to enjoy your beach getaway. The private beach access is literally steps away from the back deck. It's about 50 yards from the townhouse to the ocean. The Kure Beach Fishing Pier is just a 1/2 mile walk from Rob's place. Once you've arrived at the pier, you can browse through the pier's gift shop before heading out to the town of Kure Beach where you can eat at one of the town's local restaurants. The vibe at Kure Beach is fun and festive!

Oceanfront Townhouse steps to the Beach
Great beach access…the unit was very clean. Had a view of ocean and felt safe in neighborhood. Was not but a block or two from shops. Overall thought unit was a little larger but it was sufficient for the 3 of us. We had a nice time!

Charming Upstairs Porch House
Great spot, clean place, lots of windows so very sunny, location close to everything!

Da Island Retreat - Steps to Beach
This was perfect for our mini family getaway! Lot’s of room, clean & just steps away from the beach. We couldn’t have asked for more. Minnie was responsive to everything within minutes which was really nice. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Surf City Beach Tree House - 6/9 - 6/13 available
Was just the peaceful getaway that we all needed. I came down with my daughters and was my grand daughters first beach trip and we were not disappointed, highly recommend

Pond View Loft Apt
Sarah was a very attentive host! She gave us great local recommendations and was always responsive. They even replaced the record player so my teens could listen to them. Would highly recommend staying here!

The Yates Cottage
We love staying at this place! This was our third visit and won’t be our last. Who can resist the large windows overlooking the Sound, the smell and feel of the water and the breeze? The screened in porch, especially when a rain shower came through, was a wonderful place to hang out, have coffee and enjoy the day. I called this our bluebird visit as there were so many around the Cottage. Watching the fishing boats, egrets and pelicans is such a simple but welcome pleasure. So many great memories to take away!

Private Tiny Home in the Woods!
To stay at the Cabin at Rabbit Run is a wonderfully rustic and peaceful experience. My partner and I settled in easily with her detailed instructions, and were able to enjoy our short visit in Wilmington. I highly suggest visiting this location!

"Saltwater Escape: 5BR Fun & Pool Paradise"
We come to wrightsville beach several times per year and we will be back to this home. It had a great layout got a large family. We came with our 2 sons and our 4 grand children and never felt cramped. It's a home we will frequent while in wrightsville.

Oceanfront Condo "Beachcastings"
This is the perfect location to stay in Atlantic Beach! You can't beat the view of the ocean from the balcony and you are steps away from the beach. Atlantic Beach has a wide stretch of sand even at high tide which is not something you find at every NC beach. Jillian's place was clean, comfortable and perfect for our family of 4. Jillian left great instructions and was responsive, even offered a late check out. We would definitely stay here again.

One Bedroom Condo Minutes From the Beach
This was our first Airbnb experience since selling our timeshare last year. Andres & Emily made everything easy! Great check in and check out instructions. The condo was very clean, with all of the amenities they listed in their description. The bed was clean and comfortable and the living room was nicely decorated with a couch, coffee table and television. Highly recommend eating at Island Burger and Pops Diner, which are nearby. The boardwalk was only 2 blocks over. I also found a beautiful starfish necklace (I've been looking for a nice one for awhile) at a boutique called Salty Chic...very cool store located in the Publix shopping center. Overall, we had a wonderful vacation and would also highly recommend Andres And Emily's condo, especially for a couple.

The Other Side at Southwinds - 2 bd/2 ba condo
We just completed our third stay with Marilyn. Our family absolutely loves this spot. It's so nice that our family of 6 can fit fairly comfortably and it's especially great that there are two full bathrooms. We also love how well kept the property grounds are, as well as how easy it is to get to the beach. We just got home a little while ago and my 4 teens are already talking about planning our next trip! Thank you Marilyn!

Cozy BHI Condo - Community Pool and BHI Club
David and Kris were terrific hosts! They went out of their way to keep us informed of fun events happening around the island, which we greatly appreciated as it was our first time to BHI. The unit is just as pictured and beautifully renovated. Kitchen is expertly organized and has full array of cookware. The location is central on the island, making it a quick ride to the market, beach, club, etc. The surrounding live oaks and foliage are beautiful. I would definitely recommend! We will be back.

The Tropical Palm-Ocean View, Pool, Heart of CB
This was a great place for us and our baby to stay. Walkable to the beach, boardwalk, and restaurants. Next door to an amazing ice cream shop!! Amanda was a great host, very responsive and gave us all the info we needed before we had to ask for it. We would definitely book again!

Mermaid Retreat* Private Pool* Pet Friendly
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!

Oceanfront Condo, Spacious Private Deck & Pool!
We loved this place so much last year, we came back again this year! Updates were made with the sofa and some of the bedroom furniture. Walking in just felt like home away from home. It was so clean when we got there, even my 5 year old noticed that the sofa smelled like it had just been deep cleaned. The beds are soft and comfy, perfect for resting after a long day in the sunshine. You are close enough to the boardwalk but far enough away that you cannot hear the noise all night. I love Thursday night fireworks on the beach during the summer months. Stefan and Katie’s place is exactly as pictured and described. They have communicated with us during both stays quickly and efficiently. We love this place! We will definitely be back if you’ll have us again!
