Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Surf City

AMAZING! Hands down, this was the best beach rental experience we've ever had and we've had some great rentals over the years. It was INCREDIBLY CLEAN. (We rented in early summer.) The house had everything we thought we needed and other ammenities we didn't even know we would want until we were there. The house was very well maintained. Pantry/cabinet areas were labeled and perfectly organized. The beds were pristine and comfortable. The location was perfect; it was just under a mile to the pier with many restaurants and shops in-between which was easily walkable (beach or road) with kids. We walked to shops and restaurants nearly every day. Obviously the proximity to the beach is great but it was a nice surprise that the houses in that area are spaced in such a way that the beach was not crowded even when neighboring blocks were. Our host was proactive, responsive, warm, and accommodating. Check-in/out were hassle-free. Thank you!!

The home was very nice inside and out, and is in a great location for beach access and quick trips to all the restaurants and shops in Surf City. All the bedrooms were well appointed, featured comfortable mattresses, and overall was wonderful. We enjoyed mornings and nights on the third story patio, rocking in the breeze. And Ed was especially accommodating upon check-in with a special request, which we appreciated.

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!

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.

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!

The view of the ocean was absolutely stunning—truly the kind of view you could stare at for hours. The deck was perfect for morning coffee, sunset watching, and everything in between. Inside, the place was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully put together to make us feel right at home. Emily was a fantastic host—responsive, kind, and quick to address any issues that came up. She genuinely cared about our comfort and even went above and beyond to compensate us for a minor inconvenience, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, beautiful escape with top-notch hospitality!

This was perfect for our mini family getaway! Lot’s of room, clean & just steps away from the beach. We couldn’t have asked for more. Minnie was responsive to everything within minutes which was really nice. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

We had a great time staying in this cozy cottage. Mike was very responsive and helpful with the questions we had. This is our second time staying in this duplex. Both sides are equally as great! The small fenced in yard for the dogs and being able to sit on the porch where you can hear and see the ocean is so peaceful. Would stay again!

We loved our stay and Jeanna was very responsive throughout the stay if we needed her. The place was very cozy and clean! It was walking distance to a public entry way to the beach, the boardwalk, stores, and many restaurants. We would definitely stay again! 10/10!

This condo is a peaceful, hidden gem! Views from the front and back deck and a perfect little beach right across the street. We loved it!

The condo is clean and well appointed. It is a moments walk to the beach, restaurants, bars, and a small carnival area for kids, yet it is peaceful and quiet.

This is our second time staying here. Our host is nothing short of AMAZING. Always responsive and friendly. The place is always clean easy it get to and checking in was simple. We will for sure stay here again.

Darlene was a fantastic host! She communicated quickly when I had any questions. Her house was probably one of the best stocked AirBnBs that we've stayed at. The pool was so private, I knew we had neighbors, but could not see them. The house was perfect for our family! We loved Carolina Beach!

even though the description and the pictures match, it doesn't give this place the justice it deserves. it was beautiful, peaceful. had everything we needed and more. the lawn company was there while we were and they were super friendly and very respectful. we will definitely be back!

This was the prefect place for a quick weekend getaway! Host was very easy to communicate with and had a lovely home to stay in! Close access to several public beach access along with the pool! Definitely will be going back in the future again!

it was the perfect setting for our family vacation with our adult children and their significant others. In fact, it was the perfect back drop on the dock for my son to propose to his girlfriend! wonderful memories here! peaceful and beautiful setting and short drive to the beach.

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!!!

Amazing stay! The place was spotless, cozy, and exactly as described, everything we needed was right there. It felt like a home away from home. We unexpectedly had trouble with our truck not starting, and the host went above and beyond by allowing us to leave it there until it could be towed. She was incredibly responsive, kind, and understanding throughout the whole situation. That kind of hospitality made a huge difference in our trip. We felt completely taken care of. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an stress-free, comfortable place to stay!

Danny was an excellent host. The place is only a short walk to a public access point. The loft set up is perfect and an excellent use of space. Felt very private with parking off the main road. Would suggest for small families or a couples retreat.

We loved our stay at The Salty Pineapple! The location was perfect! We enjoyed several meals out on the patio. Everything was exactly as Kim described. We can’t wait to visit again!

Everything was perfect with our stay! We loved that the house was in a quiet area and the beach is just steps away. There was an absolutely beautiful view of the beach from the living room & kitchen and comfy chairs to sit out and watch the waves. We love traveling to topsail and this is by far our favorite place to stay so far! We look forward to coming back in the future!

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!

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!!

The condo was spacious and so close to the beach! The open concept made it feel very comfortable right away. We definitely made good use of the big kitchen. Best part was the proximity to the beach. A quick, easy 3 minute walk and you were right at the public beach access. Would book again !
