Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Emerald Isle

Beautiful condo unit as compared to others we have stayed at in the same building. Beautiful setting on the sound with view of the ocean which is very close. Pool is beautiful as well. Baths for each bedroom which is great. Beds were great!!

We had a great stay at Zach’s condo. We had a relaxing week. We felt at home and were sad to go. Zach was an amazing host. He responds quickly. The sun shades were broken and he had a brand new one to us in a couple hours. He made our vacation very easy. The condo has everything you need from adults to kiddos. We will be back for sure!

We’ve stayed at a number of condos at Ocean Club, and this was our favorite one on the inside. It was so nice to have aesthetically beautiful surroundings both outside and inside. We had never stayed on the lowest floor before, and we were pleasantly surprised at how good the view of the ocean was. There is a clear view of waves over the dunes. The beds were comfortable, and we just really appreciated how pretty and classy the decor was. Sometimes beach places are tacky, but this one feels like a lovely home you want to be in and look at. Amy was very responsive and even let us make a last minute extension on our reservation since there was availability. We had a truly wonderful time!

Was promised beach and awesome location and beach was what we got! Awesome sunrises, great views! We watched dolphins frolic in the surf. The home was away from noise and hustle and bustle. There were beach chairs, kites, some beach toys. It was what we needed!

We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again. The listing description is spot on. There was a closet full of beach stuff to use which was super convenient and very nice (mini Shibumi, beach cart, beach toys, beach chairs). Other small touches around the condo made it convenient as well like hand soap, toilet paper, paper towels, pots, pans, games, plenty of bedding, blankets, and towels. The whole condo complex was peaceful, quiet, and good location. The condo was clean and well maintained, didn't see a single bug.

Incredible!!! Whimsical Whale was perfect for our family! We felt as if we were staying the week with a distant relative. We felt welcomed and wanted but were given space even though they live upstairs. It was a beautiful, convenient and safe location. They do fail to mention in the listing that they have just about everything you think you need for a beach trip. A storage shed full of all the beach necessities, even a grill we were able to use. I believe out of all of the beach gear we brought, we only used our wagon. She even brought us assorted chocolate covered pretzels, they were delicious. They do have WiFi, and televisions. Although the only way to stream is through the blu ray player. I would suggest bringing some dvds if you have little ones coming along. 10 out of 10, 5 stars across the board!!!

Kelly is a fantastic host answering all questions we had and had the best informative guide I’ve ever seen through Airbnb renting, the location was also great! The beach is right at the Airbnb! The pool was nice, it did have a lot of trash in the bottom and unfortunately we did have a very loud neighbor rooming right above us. The room itself was very clean, and just like the pictures, very easy to walk to restaurants and activities! I highly recommend!

My boyfriend and I loved staying at Lauren’s place! When we arrived check-in was simple with a code and check-out instructions were clear as well. Everything was very clean and looked just like the photos. The area was great because we were less than 8 minutes from pretty much everything you can think of. Thank you Lauren!

Steve’s condo was EXTREMELY clean, maintained and cozy. The view of the ocean here is amazing, it’s about as close to the ocean as you can get! The beach was clean and pretty easy to walk and not nearly as crowded as other places, this condo is also located directly beside the beach access!! Steve as a host was incredible! He was very helpful and informative and wanted to make sure we had the best time possible. We are already thinking about returning to this location for next year’s vacation and if we do, we will certainly book with Steve at this same condo again!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was our 40th anniversary and we decided that we wanted to go to our favorite beach in North Carolina. We could see the ocean from this apartment and a very short walk to the beach. Enjoyed sleeping on the beds and having 2 bathrooms were fantastic. AC was great and water pressure in shower, was too. They had everything you needed and didnt lack on the supplies. It was a memorable vacation that we will never forget. Thanks Curtis

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!

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!

Josh's condo is amazing. We took our 3 boys for spring break. Easy walk to the beach, ocean front and we had access to a heated pool which was great. The condo was extremely clean and cozy with all the listed amenities. It's on the third floor so the elevator that takes you right to the door was very convenient. Also an easy drive to the grocery store! I would highly recommend Josh's place, we will definitely be back again!!

Kevin & Jordan were great hosts. We had a small issue come up, but they were responsive and took care of it the same day. Photos and description are accurate. As of mid-June 2025… washer, dryer and dishwasher are all out of service. We knew in advance, just be sure to double-check with hosts in case you want to use. Recommend bringing a camping chair w/mini table of your own if more than 1 person wants to sit on deck (only 1 plastic chair right now). Overall a very nice place and location, would definitely stay again!

Even though I had to leave 2 days early thanks to the historical storm, I still enjoyed Chris and Bobbie's condo so much! I cooked dinner for the other 3 guests with me and EVERYTHING I could have possibly needed was right at my fingertips! All the beds were very comfortable, the master shower was amazing, the decor throughout the condo was perfect! I can't say enough about the beautiful view either! I'm going to try again in the spring and if this condo is available, I will definitely book it! I highly recommend this wonderful property/unit! Chris and Bobbie are great hosts! Thanks to you both.

My sister and I enjoyed our stay - it was a short walk from the beach and had everything we needed including three different pools. Dawn was very friendly and responsive, answering all of my questions before and during our stay - even checking in on us a couple times randomly which I appreciated. The gated community was a plus, however Google Maps did lead me to a blocked off entrance - remember to pull into the "Pebble Beach" entrance and placing the parking pass in your car ASAP. Across the street we enjoyed a tasty meal at Gaffer's. This was my first time in Emerald Isle and one of my favorite spots was "Sol Bowls" which is only a 2-3 minute drive from the Airbnb - highly recommend checking out. Super glad we found Dawn's place as we originally had a reservation at a nearby hotel, we definitely enjoyed having more space than a hotel room would have given us. I would definitely stay here again.

I'm not sure there's enough space for me to tell you how amazing this home and location are. The house is pristine and the views are absolutely breathtaking. You are literally right on the beach. I'm not a morning person, but I was up every day to watch the amazing sunrise. The house is on a dead end street so the beach was never packed and it felt safe for my kids to be outside playing when we weren't in the sand. They provide chairs, games, tons of kitchen gadgets, linens etc. The pier and restaurant were just a few houses down with the best burgers and milkshakes. Everything on the island is less than 20 minutes away. The hot tub was clean and so relaxing. My kids asked me if we could buy the house and stay forever! I've never cried leaving an Airbnb before, but I definitely left a few salwater drops in the ocean this time. Absolutely fantastic hosts. They were highly responsive and extremely kind. Our family will never forget our time at the Kala home.

Amie was a fantastic host and my friends and I immensely enjoyed our time at the house and in the area. Amie communicated well with us in the week before our trip giving recommendations for the area as well as giving clear instructions for checking in, etc. We were quite pleased to be at a house that was so clean. We enjoyed the small back patio quite a lot. Definitely recommend Amie's house!

Great place! My family and I will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful home. Very clean and well kept. Nice location close to restaurants and shopping. Friendly neighbors and great neighborhood amenities with pool and pickleball courts close by. We would definitely recommend to others.

Love this place! Breathtaking views, close to everything, and very peaceful. It's steps away from the beach, walking distance to restaurants, and has a beautiful pool that isn't overcrowded. The condo functional. My boyfriend and I found ourselves falling asleep on the Murphy beds listening to the ocean. The hosts were very responsive. Overall - great place to stay

Clean, quiet, and as pictured. We wished we had a golf cart, might be worth looking into renting one if you stay here. Beaufort is a sweet area and we enjoyed taking the passenger ferry to Shackleford Banks!

5 stars!! Beautiful, cozy home close to downtown. We had a great time and really felt welcomed and safe in this home, would definitely come back!!

We had a wonderful experience during our stay. This last-minute short trip turned out to be just perfect. Everything we needed was conveniently available on-site, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. We also appreciated having a restaurant and a coffee/ice cream shop right there. The check-in process was incredibly simple, and we eagerly anticipate our next visit.
