Deluxe Downtown Cottage-Fenced yard, hot tub!

Patrick OlsbyRating, 5 stars2 days ago
The Red Cottage was a solid stay. My son and I needed somewhere for a quick one night get away and thankfully we found the cottage. Feels like you’re miles away from downtown and a beautiful space. Lots to do within walking distance.

The Salt Box Beach House of Surf City, NC

KatelynRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Staying at this Airbnb felt like a true escape. The location couldn't have been better – being mere steps from the beach was such a treat, allowing for spontaneous walks and the calming sound of the waves. It was wonderful to find such a genuinely dog-friendly place; my pups absolutely loved it, which made the stay even more enjoyable for me. The entire atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and I found the off-season to be a particularly lovely time to visit, with beautiful weather and a sense of peacefulness. The property itself had everything I could possibly need, making it easy to settle in and feel comfortable. Amy was fantastic – always communicative and helpful, ensuring a smooth and easy stay. While there were plenty of options for things to do in the area, I also appreciated the opportunity to simply unwind and work remotely in such a serene setting. The upper deck was my favorite spot for getting sun many hours of the day. I’ve stayed in many airbnbs and this is a favorite!

Easy Breezy beach house on secluded waterfront

TrenaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Very secluded and peaceful. Wish the weather had been better throughout our stay but it was very nice to wake up to the sound of the waves and nature. I will say if you have a toddler to make sure to take a safety gate. He made it a challenge wanting to climb the stairs so we went out to buy some for our stay. WiFi is spotty (which is a good thing) but I didn’t realize none of my messages were sent until this morning. My husband and son enjoyed some fishing and caught a few stingrays. I would love to go back later in the year.

The Cottage at Pine Ridge

StephanieRating, 5 stars1 day ago
This space is super-clean, spacious, well-appointed, beautifully decorated, and had everything I needed for a place to come home to after working in the area every day!!! I looked forward to getting there every day! The response time was super quick when I had any questions at all! Grab Door Dash, go out, or cook in! All great possibilities when you stay in Hilary’s place! I can’t say enough about the classy feel of the space and the amenities! She even had bottles of water, snacks, and Lindt Chocolates!! Everything worked famously! The home is super bright with beautiful sunshine when the curtains are open. The back door (9-pane) and the front door (3 slit panes) windows have no covering, so they add extra sunshine to the space! The couch and master room (was just me) bed (with very nice linens) are both super comfy. The bathroom, & all its accoutrements, felt like pure luxury! Also, plenty of storage space to stretch and put my things away, as if I was home!

Creekside Cottage

AmandaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The cottage was cozy and outside was breathtaking. Outside there’s a little waterfall that’s beautiful and hydrangea bushes in bloom. Everything was amazing. The only we noticed was the hot tub needed to be cleaned (little debris and hair) but we didn’t notice until very late that evening when my husband and I were about to get in (wasn’t a big deal). Everything in the cottage is clean. The cottage is cozy and very affordable. We stayed one night and it was very close to downtown and Great Smoky Mountain Railroad.

Carolina Wine Cottage

DanelleRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We enjoyed our stay so much! Can’t wait to stay again in October for the wedding weekend. It was a peaceful spot, and beautiful design. The beds were comfortable, and the house felt nice and cool! We were about 10 minutes away from downtown Elkin Restaurants. Great spot!

Lucky Seacret • Bright & Beachy Near It All

CarreyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Great little beach house, it was cozy and relaxing. We stayed for 6 nights and it had everything we needed for a great beach vacation. This was the cleanest AirBnB I have stayed in at CB. It was an easy 6-7 minute walk to the beach and boardwalk. The patio is so relaxing in the morning and at night. We would definitely stay again.

Quaint 40's Cottage

Kathryn E.Rating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The airbnb was very cute; the property was lovely. We were about a minute walk to the lake, which was visible from the kitchen. The owner had a few emus, chickens, minature goats and a big, friendly white dog. We were fairly close to downtown New Bern (by car). We ran into John coming back from the lake, and he was very friendly/nice. It was a grest experience all around.

Waterfront 3 bedroom cottage in the woods.

KaylaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We spent Easter weekend here. As we drove in the wild azaleas and dogwoods were blooming, and everything afterwards was just as beautiful and peaceful. My teenagers loved kayaking and my daughter liked the pond so well she slept on the daybed on the porch. I appreciated the feather pillows and reverse osmosis water. Attention has been paid to every detail. I called my Nana to show her the antique desks. My small children enjoyed the toys and my middle son using the pully bucket on the porch. My daughter celebrated a birthday over our stay, more movie guests showed up than expected and I just couldn't turn these kids away. Our hosts were so kind. They of course charged a little extra as was clearly understood via the contract, they were very understanding and polite. The lock to the boat seems to be jamed, the downstairs fireplace is currently non operational, and I'm not sure I'll get back a thumb drive I forgot, but this family has worked hard to create really special place. Five star

Boho Round House, 2nd Row with Beach Across Street

JonathonRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
A clean and quiet beach house on the main drag in Topsail Island. The house was perfect for our family and was clean and inviting. It has a large wrap-around deck that is great for morning coffee. The beach access is a very short walk from the house making it convenient for any needed trips back from a day at the ocean. The house is a short drive to shopping and restaurants. Landon was quick to respond when we had a question. It was a great find!

DonnaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We absolutely LOVED this cottage on the lake! The view was beautiful, and the kids caught a lot of fish off of the dock! It was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and it had everything we needed. Jack was a great host. Very responsive and hospitable. Already talking about when we can come back!

Cottage at Indian Cave - Family Perfect!

SavannahRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Me and my group stayed at Averee and Tim’s place for three days, and we absolutely adored it! The location was exactly what we wanted, a little removed but still close enough to town for comfort. The home was beautifully decorated, and we appreciated the time that must have gone into creating such a lovely experience for their guests. We cannot recommend this place enough! Peaceful, cozy, and the hosts were lovely as well. Perfect!
