Holiday rentals with a kayak in Intracoastal Waterway

This was a beautiful home with a lot of space for our group. It was attractive with everything supplied that we needed except food and personal items!! The four bedrooms with baths were comfortable. Opportunity for exercise was also provided with 17 steps up to each of the four floors!! An elevator made getting our food and luggage to various floors easier than taking the steps. But by taking the steps during our stay, we burned a lot of calories! For entertainment there was everything from books and games to kayaks and bicycles provided. There were water views of the ocean and the Intercoastal waterway from the several porches that were provided with rockers and lounges. The path to the beach access was very close. There was one restaurant within walking distance. Otherwise a car was needed for groceries and other shopping. There was ample parking on the property for our 4 vehicles, two of which used the garage. Emily’s place is among the best rentals we have visited.

We had a fantastic stay at Michelle’s place. The house and amenities exceeded our expectations. Having rented quite a few places in the Topsail/Surf City area, my wife and I agreed that this was a top favorite. Will certainly look here for future stays.

Wonderful stay! Absolutely fabulous owners who were quick to respond to messages. On the quieter side of the island which is what we were looking for our stay. Easy, enjoyable walk(took about 10 mins) to the beach with the use of a provided wagon to haul our belongings. Bike are provided but we unfortunately didn’t get a chance to use them. Fenced in back yard that was dreamy and so peaceful. There were few hiccups(no bed linens and the a/c went out upstairs) which were out of the owners control but Tammy was quick to respond and have them taken care of. The house was clean, inviting and fully stocked. The little touches were appreciated. Wonderful stay for a family! Would highly recommend.

Staying at Anthony’s was like stepping back to a more gracious time ( with all the modern conveniences) . Sitting on the front porch for morning coffee & afternoon tea , looking through the trees draped in Spanish moss , was a rare gentle & civilized ‘ southern treat ‘ for all of us. Many thanks!

Lovely peaceful retreat on the river. It was a great place to unwind and visit with family. The house is comfortable and the surroundings are beautiful. I definitely recommend it and would stay again.

We had a great stay a Nick’s place! Close walk to both the beach and the bay. A comfortable stay for my family with two young kids and my parents. Would definitely stay again!

We enjoyed our stay over spring break. The arcade and game room were enjoyed by all. There were plenty of places to sleep our family of eleven. We loved the location and the ability to bike to several places including the beach.

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!!

Beautiful home and a very convenient location. The house was very clean and had everything we needed.

We loved our stay here! Such a cute and comfy cottage, perfect for a beach trip; it comes stocked with pretty much everything you could ask for. Loved that it was walking distance to so many shops and restaurants, as well as beach access points, while also being tucked away down the street for a peaceful and quiet night's sleep. Todd was an excellent host as well, very friendly and responsive. Thanks so much!!!

Our stay at Michelle and Jason's was exactly what we hoped for. Very relaxing and so much to do around the house. The complimentary golf cart was such a great addition to being able to see everything. When we arrived we had a few questions for the owners and not only did Jason get back to us promptly, he also came to the house and helped us out. Already getting ready to book 2 houses with Michelle and Jason for next year! A 5 Star Stay!!

We had such a lovely stay at the Tew Cottage! Conveniently located near your beach of choice and downtown areas. The cottage was spotless and well decorated, we felt right at home. Sharlene is a wonderful host and was extremely kind and attentive. We will definitely be back!

What a wonderful home, location and host! Everything was absolutely top quality, and so many extra touches! We used the kayaks, fire pit (firewood provided!), ping pong table… easy walk to the beach too! Hope to stay again.

We had a great long weekend stay. The house exceeded our expectations, was spacious and the views were incredible. Only a half mile drive to the bridge leading to the surf city pier.

We had a fantastic stay at Lake Waccamaw! The home was spotless when we arrived, and the location right on the lake was absolutely beautiful. We loved having access to the kayaks and took full advantage of them during our stay. The grill and all the included accessories made it easy to enjoy meals outdoors. Communication with Mr. Sam was excellent he reached out the day before to provide all the information we needed and let me know I could call him anytime if anything came up. His hospitality really stood out and made our stay even better. We would definitely book again for a future trip to Lake Waccamaw. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a peaceful, lakefront getaway!

We had such a wonderful stay at this cozy vintage beach cottage! Tucked away on a quiet, peaceful street, it was the perfect retreat for a relaxing getaway. The welcoming front porch was a favorite spot to sip morning coffee and enjoy the breeze. Inside, the cottage has a charming coastal vibe with vintage touches that add character and warmth. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into making it both stylish and comfortable. The space was clean, well-kept, and incredibly well-supplied with everything we needed—from kitchen essentials to beach gear. If you're looking for a place with personality, tranquility, and easy access to Oak Island’s beautiful beaches, this cottage is a fantastic choice. We’d definitely come back!
