Oceanfront! Captain's Quarters
This was our 2nd year staying at one of Erica and Wayne’s listing. Fully stocked kitchen, ocean view from the balcony and the pool were all great! It was a great space for our group of 7.

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!

New! Oceanfront 2bd/2ba - Penthouse View!
We enjoyed our stay here! The beach supplies were amazing, and we had everything we needed for traveling with our toddler. One thing to note is you do have to put the sheets on the beds yourself. That wasn’t clear in the listing, and we waited until we were exhausted to do it later that night which wasn’t very fun. But very minor action in what was a wonderful family vacation with great views!

Wright at Home
Outstanding location. Easy access to Topsail and Wilmington. Beautiful layout and will return. Everything you needed or possibly wanted was there. Extremely friendly.

Queen Anne’s Retreat *Ocean View*
Beautiful view! Clear and helpful communication from host. We loved sitting out on the balcony to watch the ocean and listen to live music.

Lake Escape
This is a great place to get away. I recommend it to anyone who wants to relax and enjoy a good view. I would definitely come here again and the owners are always responsive.

Historic Swansboro "Seaside Bliss"
Great spot with easy walkability to swansboro restaurants and shops. We had a great time and everything was just a we expected. Will stay again!

Topsail Ruby Reef
This was our second time staying here and we would definitely book again! Hosts are very communicative. Condo was clean. Love the location!

Oceanfront | Updated + Gorgeous Views + Linens!
Perfect location. Everything was clean and it was well-stocked. Check-out instructions were extremely minimal, it was nice to not feel like we had to spend hours leaving like some other places. It is right next to a public beach access, so there was a lot of foot traffic, but the people moved on quickly and settled further down the beach. I wish there were screens in the windows so that we could have opened them, but the sliding door does have a screen which was nice. The owner was very responsive and friendly. We really enjoyed ourselves!

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.

Sneads Ferry Berry By the Bay
Kendra's place was perfect for a peaceful getaway. We especially enjoyed sitting in the swing and watching the boats and wildlife by the water.

Colorful 3 bdr - beach & intracoastal access, pool
We had the best beach vacation at Kristin’s place. The house was just as described and very well stocked with just about everything we needed for a great stay. The kitchen was one of best for folks like us who cook most meals - plenty of pots and pans, utensils, and lots of dishes. Beds were all super comfy. And the use of the beach towels, chairs, sun shades and toys were WONDERFUL saving us precious packing space in the car. Kristin was very helpful with all my questions. 10 out of 10! Next time we are headed to the beach, this is the first place I will try to book. Thank you!

Stunning Water-front Home with Private Dock
This house was the perfect size and location for our family of four. The fishing is great, especially at high tide, and the best part is it’s right in the back yard. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, but you’re still close to stores and restaurants. We drove in to Emerald Isle almost daily. We recommend this place and would definitely book again!

DOGFriendly/Gameroom+Amenities RiverFront Paradise
Chad was responsive from the moment we booked his beautiful home until the moment we checked out. He has thought of everything to make the stay a restful experience. He was proactive in ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the stay. The home is down a quiet street near beautiful beaches and has access to the river which we enjoyed kayaking on. We had a great stay and look forward to booking Chad’s place in the future.

Oceanfront Oasis: Hot Tub, Fenced Yard, & Views

Sunny Deck, Stunning Views, Deck, & Beach Toys

Cozy On-the-Beach w/ Private Deck
Everything we needed was there in the condo. Really enjoyed the area and host was easy to work with when we came a day early.

Seaside Joy - This is your happy place!
Beautiful, peaceful, and serene. We wanted to be near the ocean and this spot was perfect for that. Enjoyed beautiful sunsets, sunrises, walks on the beach, everything needed to relax and unwind. We will definitely be back!

A Wave From It All: Luxe 1BR at Villa Capriani
Couldn’t have asked for a better location- right on the beach and a short drive to pretty much anything you’d need. The pool and beach were great. The condo was exactly as described and would definitely stay here again.

Sun & Sand Beachfront Condo on Topsail Island
This was our 2nd time visiting Topsail Dunes, and Kara and Kim's place did not disappoint. The unit is exactly as pictured, is thoughtfully stocked with most things you need, and is a paradise away from home. There really are beach chairs waiting for you, a beach umbrella and anchor...you don't need to pack all that stuff. There are plenty of dishes, and enough cookware for anything we wanted to whip up. The washer/dryer are a major plus! The view and breeze from this 3rd floor unit are breathtaking. And, you will not ever get tired of the sounds of the waves rolling in. The hosts? Fabulous communication, friendly as can be, really seem to love sharing their place and it shows. I highly recommend this unit and these hosts. Kara and Kim, thank you! We will be back. Also, don't overlook the freedom of scheduling. Some hosts restrict you to Saturday-to-Saturday rentals. We were able to do 8 nights and would do it again! Thanks Kara & Kim!

Luxurious Condo, 4 Pools, Massage Chair, Arcade
Perfect family (with children) property. 4 pools (two kiddo pools) right on the beach, great restaurant onsite, and the room was perfectly decorated and accommodating. Arcade game and board games with ample Comfy seating was very nice. We would go back with all the kids without hesitation (and we are picky when it comes to where we stay for what we pay). Thanks for hosting us!

Spectacular View Ocean Beachfront Access Pool
Loved staying at Bee and Joe’s place! Beautiful home with beautiful ocean views! Close and easy access to the beach. Convenient to go back and grab a snack or anything else when needed. Well stocked with supplies to get you started. They send timely messages with needed information for check in and check out, and are quick to respond when messaged. Perfect beach vacation! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Bee and Joe for a lovely family vacation spot!

Steps to the Beach! Just "Wait-N-Sea"!
We just spent an unforgettable week at this beautiful oceanfront Airbnb in Topsail Beach, and I honestly didn’t want to leave. The view from the balcony was breathtaking….sunrises over the ocean, dolphins in the distance, and the sound of waves around the clock. The house was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing family vacation. The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds were comfy, and the layout was perfect for both quiet mornings and laughs at night. We swam, ate our weight in seafood, soaked up the sun, and felt completely at peace. This place gave us space to rest, reconnect, and make memories we’ll hold onto forever. Highly recommend to anyone needing a true reset. We’ll be back!

Oceanfront Condo | Sleeps 6 | North Topsail Beach
