Beachfront holiday rentals in Pine Knoll Shores

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.

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!

Nothing beats waking up and immediately being able to see the Atlantic Ocean, great location! The kitchen has been recently redone, which was nice and spacious. The back balcony was half roofed so it was a nice place to sit away from the sun to take in the view. It was peaceful and quiet, everyone around us was respectful of everyone else’s surroundings. It was a blessing being able to take our dog with us on this trip. She felt comfortable in the house and fell in love with the beach!

Loved the location. I wasn't sure about everyone in our group liking being so close to the "hubbub", but that ended up being what something we really liked about the place. Lots of things to do that are walkable. Shops, restaurants, bars, coffee houses, a beautiful walkway along the intracoastal waterway, a kids playground... And the view can't be beat! Well stocked kitchen- like truly everything you could possibly need. Lots of seating on the deck. All the things! Mom was over the moon about her 90th birthday celebration.

We loved everything about this house! Perfect location, great and VERY responsive host, clean! We had an issue where we couldn’t find something (our fault) and they brought us a replacement. The views are amazing! Everything was in the house from linens, to bikes, the deck was great! I can’t say anything bad at all! We will definitely visit again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Private Island Stay! We had an unforgettable stay on this beautiful private island in Swansboro. It was just my husband and I with our two dachshunds, and the entire island to ourselves—so dreamy! The home was cozy and well-equipped with everything we needed, plus the linens smelled ahh-mazing! We loved watching the boats go by, kayaking around the island, observing the wildlife and exploring nearby spots like Shark Tooth Island, where we found shells and actual shark teeth! The sunrises and sunsets were stunning, and the ocean breezes made it feel like a peaceful nature retreat, not to mention the hot shower which was pure luxury! Plenty of great spaces to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Close to nearby marinas and other islands, too. Highly recommend—we’d come back in a heartbeat!

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!

Christine Anne and Bill were great hosts. Their place was comfortable with an outside deck. The location was off the beaten path in a beautiful setting on the river. It was an easy drive to Oriental, a small town with a variety of restaurants and a coffee shop. We enjoyed our respite in the carriage house.

The condo was really nice. The distance from the beach to the condo was less than 200 feet. Upon arriving the first thing I noticed was how clean and nicely decorated it was. Place was well stocked with essentials. There's a closet in the hall thats stocked with soap, bandaids, first aid, paper towels and everything needed. Appliances were new, clean and functional. TVs worked and the sound bar was a nice surprise as I would rather listen to music than watch TV. I can honestly say I cant think of one negative thing. Thank you for having us. We really had a great relaxing time, and thanks for the restaurant recommendations. We hit Gaffers twice but mostly sat on the deck and ate. That view is fantastic.

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Ocean Terrace for the first time hosted by Hope the week of August 3rd. The location of the house has easy access to the beach and pool which is only a few steps away from the back door of the condo. We've been coming to the area for many years from PA since we have good friends that live in Morehead City and this home was so convenient to them and also Beaufort which we love visiting every time we are in the area. Hope was an awesome host being proactive and had the house well organized in every room you stepped into along with everything you could think of being at a beach house for a week. We look forward to staying here again with our family and grandchildren..

Great stay! We would rent from them again.

great location, 1 minute from the beach, and the best stocked Airbnb I've ever stayed in! from a beach cart and a boogie board, to toiletries. Cathy has thought of everything. Definitely recommend to stay here.

I had a really lovely time! I wasn’t in the condo very much; spent time on the beach/ at the pool/ exploring Morehead City and historic Beaufort, which were super close drives. It was only a few minutes to walk to the beach, and having the pool right there was also super nice and relaxing. I utilized the beach cart to bring things with me which was super helpful. Having body wash/other amenities like extra toothbrushes and toothpaste was also very thoughtful. Overall, I enjoyed my stay-it was quiet and relaxing.

Perfect location, beautiful open view of the ocean, clean and well stocked for everything we needed for the stay.

We have rented many vacation homes over the years. This one is one of our top one or two! House was as described, clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well provisioned. The layout of the house was conducive to both socializing and privacy. And the beds were extremely comfortable.The only thing I would say to be aware of is that since Atlantic Beach has had the beach restoration completed, there is a lot more beach to walk across now than there used to be. But ultimately, this is a plus because it means there is still a beach there!

The condo was super clean. Located very close to the indoor/outdoor pool and just a short walk to the beach. Son and daughter-in-law stayed the night on the fold out couch queen bed and said it was comfy! Kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed our stay!

Absolutely loved staying here! It was an end unit as described and the beach veiw from the balcony was breathtaking. Easy beach access, kid friendly unit, very clean and comfortable. It felt like home on arrival, we were able to unpack easily and still enjoy the rest of the day in the area. Stacy was very quick to answer when we had an issue and resolved it within the hour. Would recommend staying here, especially if you have kids.

Such a fantastic place, right on the beach! They have everything you need, including wake boards, chairs, umbrella. Just a beautiful place on the ocean!!! My second time back, and I'll go a third!!

My family had a great stay at this property. Pamela is a wonderful Host! She is very responsive, proactive, and goes all out to make sure you are comfortable. The property is really nice, clean, and has pretty much all you will need...even for the beach! Our kids loved playing in the fenced backyard... and the adults loved sitting in the big rocking chairs watching them play. Thank you so much Pamela for providing all that we needed and doing all that you do for your guest! See you next time!

We really enjoyed our stay, great location, beautiful home, everything and more that we needed for a week in the beach. Perfect for our family getaway. There was a minor hiccup with the cleaning service when we arrived but Michael went above and beyond to get the situation rectified right away! We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

My wife, son, daughter, granddaughter, her guide dog and I stayed at Natalie and John’s lovely condo at Atlantic Beach, NC to celebrate our GD’s graduation from High School in Chicago. It was a 5 star stay. First of all, the house is mere steps from the beach. Plus, it’s only an across-the-intercoastal waterway drive to Morehead City and Beaufort if you’re looking for stuff not available in Atlantic Beach. Our GD really wanted to see wild ponies on islands in the area. So son, daughter and GD spent one day trekking the sands of Shakleford Banks (while we hosted the pup at the house) and another day with us on the island nature preserve in the harbor adjacent to Beaufort (where we could bring the pup). Lots of horses to be seen. In between horse visits we spent a lot of time sunning, swimming and walking the beach. It rained the day we checked out so we visited the NC aquarium in Pine Knoll Shores, a town next door. Hint: go early, as this place fills up fast, esp. when it rains.

Wonderful girls weekend at the beach. 3 of the 4 bedrooms had ocean views. Spent most of our time lounging in the chairs on the decks!

Great beach house! Our family celebrated 2 graduations by spending a week on the beach. The house was perfect location on an outstanding beach/area. The kitchen was well outfitted to enable family meals, the rooms and bathrooms were great to let us rest up/get ready for the next day of events, and the kitchen table allowed our fun family games. The house had beach chairs and umbrella available for us…and direct access to the beach! Lots of space for our group of 7 and easily could have supported more comfortably.

The house was exactly as pictured & Beata was so friendly & easy to communicate with. The house was very clean (by far the most clean pet-friendly home we have stayed in). You would have no idea it was pet friendly if you were traveling without four legged children. We can’t wait to return next year!
