Oceanfront home w/ Relaxing views! Pet Friendly
Great vacation spot! The house was great, had everything we needed.

Sale plus 10% off available days 8/16-9/5
Just got home from our stay at Liquid State and WOW - we have found our favorite beach house in Surf City!! - The home is beautiful, comfortable and equipped with everything you need…and more. - The backyard is an oasis with amazing pool, hot tub and grass for your pup. - The location is perfect - on a quiet street, but only a few minutes walk to the beach, sound and a few min drive to a ton of great restaurants/shops. - Bridget was an incredible host and clearly has a passion for hospitality! If you are considering this home, stop hesitating and book it!!!

Saltwater Pool, Hot Tub, Steps-2-Sand, Dogs ok
One of the best Airbnb’s I have stayed at. The close proximity to the beach and having a pool at the house was very ideal for our large group. The communication with Mike and Makeba was top notch!

After Dune Delight
10/10 experience. Host was very accommodating, professional, and very personable. We enjoyed our stay and would 110% recommend to anyone!!! Will definitely be back!!

Breathtaking views! Ocean front condo with pool
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

Beach Please
A perfect little spot for a couple! Incredibly easy walk to the beach and cute restaurants/shops. The beach access right across from the unit wasn't overly crowded and made for relaxing and peaceful beach days.

Oceanfront NTB * Private Pool * Hot Tub * Elevator
This is a special place - relaxing, peaceful, beautiful and accommodating. Everything was just as described and the pictures accurately represent the property. Fully stocked kitchen, crock pot and all. The space is nicely appointed and there were several places inside and outside the home our group of 9 could easily congregate. Incredible location, you really don’t even need to leave the house. We would love to visit again.

4BR Oceanfront | Pool | Elevator | Quiet Beach!
The place was beautiful with direct ocean views .. loved that on split beach house on quieter part of beach without ton of traffic listening to the waves crash onshore and enjoyed the soft gentle breeze every evening from balconies pretty ved amazing . The decor was on point. Beds were very comfortable. The host and communication was the best. I had a couple of quick questions and Andrew answered promptly as well as being super friendly before arrival, upon arrival and checkout. Appreciated the care hosts took to ensure us as guests felt right at home. The elevator 🛗 was very handy for my elderly parents traveling with this vacation. We loved grilling out and enjoying cornhole on Mother’s Day. The pool was closed and opens Memorial through Labor - which was ok for us.Overall great experience and exactly what needed as relax, reset, recenter and rejuvenate.

The Orca-Center of Surf City Home, Pet Friendly!
Beautiful and extremely well appointed home for our family reunion and beach trip. Tia has thought of everything you could possibly want or need for a wonderful beach stay. The kitchen is well stocked - we had 3 wonderful family dinners for 11 plus 2 babies. Loved all the little extra touches everywhere and extra supplies and snacks. So thoughtful! And so close to the beach and public access. I will definitely stay at the Orca again!

Loved our stay at the beach in Surf City. Kaley’s place has everything we needed and she easily very responsive to help us get baby monitors connected to WiFi

Shell Shack! 1 min walk to beach. Pets welcome!
We had a great stay. It was a great location just minutes from the beach

Serenity Cove
Janet should be a super host if she is not already ranked as one. She was very hospitable and the location was amazing. We had everything we needed including complimentary drinks and snacks.

Luxe 4Bed Retreat w/ocean views & pvt beach access
What a beautiful home for our family to relax in and enjoy the sounds of the ocean every day! James was a great host, welcoming and easy to contact. The house was one of the cleanest we have ever stayed in, with accurate photos and descriptions on line. We would love to visit again and will definitely recommend this house to our friends and family.

Oceanfront Bliss | 2 Kings | Decks+Stunning Views!
Family vacation, worth every penny!! The view is flawless and beyond beautiful!! The home had everything we needed and more! Beach towels, toys, shade, etc! Krisha is an amazing host and super responsive! I would not hesitate to rebook here and hopefully can be back in the future for more relaxing beach time! We already miss it!

Ocean Views w/ Elevator & Private Beach Access
My family had a great stay at Alyssa’s place. Everything was as described, very clean, and convenient. Size was more than enough for 3 adults and 3 kids. We would love to come back again!

"Island Time", Peaceful 5 BR Oceanfront Home
Our family had a wonderful time. Being right on the ocean was perfect- our young grandchildren were able to play & enjoy time on the beach then easily go in for snacks or naps without having to pack everything up each time. Beautiful & peaceful setting.

Oceanviews Galore-Steps 2 Beach-6 Beds-Lux Linens
Would definitely stay here again! The location exceeded our expectations- just steps from the beach, we didn’t even need shoes! The views from our balcony were also amazing. Very spacious inside, with more than enough beds for our family of four.

Beach Front Paradise - Pet Friendly
Great place - wonderful beachfront with no crowds! 8 adults stayed very comfortably; plenty of space and appreciated the extra half bath off the front hall. Everything was clean and plenty of supplies even beach towels, boogie boards and spare beach chairs. Great AC and heat one night when it was cold worked well too. Easy parking for 4 mid size SUV’s. Denise was a wonderful host always responded so quickly and gave us recommendations!

3BR Home w/ Hot Tub 6 Minutes Away from the Beach
Gena's place was wonderful. The hot tub was amazing and very private; we loved the layout. The surrounding area was picturesque, with beautiful views all around and wonderful for children. The home was very functional and accommodating. Gena is very responsive and quick to take steps in addressing any concerns. We would certainly stay here again.

Sunshine Daydream- Book for Summer! SOUND VIEWS!
The house was beautiful and clean. They had just about everything you could need on a vacation. View was great. We were 2 blocks from the water. My family and I had a great time.

The Nautical Nook
The place was just as described and was perfect for our family beach getaway. The walk to the beach isn’t far, making it easy to spend as much or as little time at the beach as we wanted. The house is clean and nicely decorated. Jessie was very responsive with any questions. We would recommend and would book again.

Lucky Lookout – An HGTV-Inspired Surfer Sanctuary
Peaceful Beach Getaway in Carolina Beach I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Carolina Beach. The location was absolutely perfect—just a short walk from the beach, but tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. It was the ideal spot to unwind and disconnect. Everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. I especially appreciated the quiet atmosphere—it made for a relaxing escape from the busyness of daily life. If you’re looking for a calm, coastal retreat with a great location, I highly recommend this place. I’d definitely love to come back again!

Oceanside, Own Beach Access Pet friendly 3BR/2Ba
We had a great time, Under house parking was a bonus and the beach had its own private access. The house was clean and neat, however the linens and towels were delivered and we had to make all the beds. Kitchen was well stocked . The sunrises off the deck were great. We'll definitely be back.

MarshMellow No Pet or Cleaning Fee
We loved our stay at Marsh Mellow cottage! We were basically a block from the beach and the cottage is so charming! We loved all the little touches and amenities. We were huge fans of the downstairs area for playing games and hanging outside but the sunsets were a group fave from the top deck!!
