Spacious Atlantic Beach Condo Sleeps 6
Super nice place! Very clean & cozy! The only down side was the walk to the beach, which didnt bother me but for my 3 year old and my dad (arthritis/heart issues) it was a bit of a walk. But other than that i would highly recommend this be a place you choose to stay if visiting the area!

Salty Day’s
Deborah’s place was amazing for myself and my three girlfriends! We had a terrific time- easy walk to the beach, quick walk to the circle for restaurants and bars, and it was decorated so cute!

Luxury Private Suite must see pictures!
GREAT! I am pretty particular when it comes to airbnb’s and their cleanliness, but Kay has an amazing home! The master suite is much bigger than pictures described so that was a plus and there was even a small closet space for us to use! Primarily walkable to the beach, restaurants aren’t as walkable in my opinion but overall great location and a quick drive to Morehead city or Beaufort!!

Oceanfront Oasis Emerald Isle, NC
Penny’s place was absolutely amazing! From the minute we walked in the door it exceeded our expectations! The home is beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean and fully stocked with all you need for a family beach vacation. Penny was very responsive with any questions we had and gave many great recommendations for places to eat and shop. Would highly recommended her home and we hope we can come back very soon!

Atlantic Beach Luxury Bungalow - Pool, Beach, Bars
This place is gorgeous and Tammi is the perfect host. The house is beautiful and accommodating, and the pool and easy beach access were awesome for everybody in my family. Tammi is super friendly and quick to respond to any messages, so beyond the awesome vacation we had here, she made all the logistics clear and easy.

Whimsical Whale - Oceanfront Apartment
Incredible!!! Whimsical Whale was perfect for our family! We felt as if we were staying the week with a distant relative. We felt welcomed and wanted but were given space even though they live upstairs. It was a beautiful, convenient and safe location. They do fail to mention in the listing that they have just about everything you think you need for a beach trip. A storage shed full of all the beach necessities, even a grill we were able to use. I believe out of all of the beach gear we brought, we only used our wagon. She even brought us assorted chocolate covered pretzels, they were delicious. They do have WiFi, and televisions. Although the only way to stream is through the blu ray player. I would suggest bringing some dvds if you have little ones coming along. 10 out of 10, 5 stars across the board!!!

Gone Coastal - 2BR/2BA Condo— Ocean & Sound Views!
We had a great time and a great stay.

Serenity in Pine Knoll Shores.
We loved staying here! It was close to everything, but in a really nice quiet location. The house was clean and well stocked. The disco ball was a fun touch! Chris was extremely responsive and was super easy to work with. We highly recommend this property!!

Sailfish Cottage II
Mindy was an excellent host. Our place was very cozy and a short drive to the beach.

Light and Bright at Pook's Place - Bring the Pups!
This was our first time in Atlantic Beach and we all really liked it and would like to come back. We would gladly stay at this property again. It is in a quiet, private location, yet very close to the action. We were very comfortable with the size and furnishings. The owner even arranged a sign and balloons in the kitchen wishing us a happy anniversary. The back decks and yard were great for our dogs. We like things as quiet and uncrowded as possible, so we went to the beach at the New Bern Street public access point. There are restrooms and an outdoor shower. Once you are on the actual beach, you can only see big beach houses and no businesses, hotels or condos. We also enjoyed the aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, and Cape Lookout National Seashore, and highly recommend both. Having a Dollar General right down the street was very convenient, and there is a Food Lion not far down the road. There are also plenty of beach/souvenir shops close by. Many thanks to Aaron for a great stay.

Waterfront Surf Shack on Moonlight Bay! Boat Slip!
This house was very clean, the view from the back porch was awesome. The house itself was beautiful inside, clean, everything was just perfect. We plan on going back again. We would recommend this place to anybody.

Beaufort Bleu New Reno, 3bdrm, near boat ramp
Stayed here for 4 days for a local wedding at te Beaufort hotel and loved. Most amazing part was being able to bring our dogs. The neighborhood is really quiet(minus the frogs at night; if you arent use to that theres a noise machine!) We loved having a kitchen to cook instead of take out food all the time. Chairs and towels for the beaches wete nice to not have to pack coming from VA. We'll be back !!

“J-Ann’s NC Crystal Coast Air BNB”
Paul’s house was perfect for a long weekend get away. House was clean and bed was very comfortable. Little notes told what needed to be done. Paul was responsive to messages. Just a note… it is on a corner of very busy main road and the side street was used a lot. Not sure how noise was in front bedroom at night but we had no noise in back bedroom. We were only there to sleep so it didn’t bother us. There is a great screen porch that we did enjoy. A great location for the beach. The bridge is right across the street. Convenient for grocery/ pharmacy, etc. would definitely stay again for the price of a beach get away

Beach Front Home-with hot tub! All linens provided
Being on the beach was awesome! We enjoyed sunrises from the hot tub, going right down our stairs to the sand, walks to the pier, evenings on the deck… It was the perfect setting for our little reunion! The house is clean and comfortable with everything you might need. Location is also super convenient to food & coffee & seafood market. The only surprises were that our space was attached to another house (neighbors were very quiet, respectful, and friendly) and that we had to make our own beds upon arrival and remove bedding before check out. Overall, Emily’s house made our time with people we love even more fun & easy! She was a communicative, helpful host and we appreciate her sharing her home!

Hot tub, Beach Front, Private, Walk to Restaurants
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.

Beachside Escape w/ Heated Pool | Family- Friendly
The host was very thoughtful and went above and beyond with providing a lovely gift basket and extra toiletries in case we forgot anything. She was willing to do whatever was needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Being in walking distance to the beach was nice, but the heated pool was the cherry on top. Only wish we could’ve stayed longer!

The Salt Box Beach House of Surf City, NC
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!

Morehead Retreat
This is my groups third or fourth time visiting Ashleys place. The house has all the amenities one can think of. We are avid fisher men, the house is in a perfect location, close to docks food and entertainment. The group really loved the layout of the house, four bedfooms and 2 full baths. Ashley is an awesome host and we will return if the good Lord willing. Thanks again Ashley for another great experiencence!!!!!!!!!

“Pelican Post” Bali-style retreat w Linens!
You could not ask for a more convenient location in the heart of surf city. Amy was an excellent host, extremely helpful. There are a ton of shared items you can use for fun on the beach. Amy even provided surf boards for me and my son to enjoy. We enjoyed the walkable location and plan to return in the future. Also of note, we felt the location was sufficiently private despite being so centrally located.

Seaside Cottage - Ocean View - Steps from Beach
Hilda was very helpful and responsive. Her home was perfect for our family vacation, we loved sitting on the porch and enjoying the views. The beach access is a short walk across the street. The home was very comfortable to stay in, a nice quiet neighborhood. Restaurants and grocery stores are only about 10 minutes away. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Hilda!

OCEAN & SOUND VIEWS, beach access right out front!
I absolutely loved our stay! the views are incredible! You can see the bay and ocean from inside the house. So many fun activities around the area and the walk to the beach couldn’t have been closer or easier! Can’t wait to go back! David is a wonderful host and his house is the perfect beach getaway!

Beaufort Cozy Cottage - Waterfront end of street
This sweet little cottage was perfect for my husband and me. It was located in a quiet neighborhood that was just a half mile walk to downtown Beaufort. It made a great home base for us as we would walk to town, get lunch, and do some exploring then head back to the cottage to relax, then head back downtown for dinner and more exploring. Absolutely perfect for a peaceful weekend getaway.

Weigh Anchor Cottage - Quaint, 40s Classic
Jessica's place was perfect four our group of 7, and we immediately felt right at home. Great location close Taylor Creek and downtown Beaufort and located on a peaceful residential street. We particularly enjoyed taking the bikes out for an evening ride and chatting on the front porch. A true southern experience! We would absolutely book again and and hope to soon! Thanks Jessica!

The Mermaid Cottage in the Promise land!
The Mermaid Cottage was the perfect getaway for our family! A clean and beautiful home, a great location where the street is quiet but the surrounding entertainment and restaurants are quickly accessible.

Your guide to Atlantic Beach
Introduction
As the easternmost end of Bogue Banks, Atlantic Beach is a favorite beach resort town along North Carolina’s Crystal Coast. Start your days with a nature walk in Fort Macon State Park or Hoop Pole Creek Preserve before relaxing on the sandy beaches, fishing from one of the many piers, or surfing in the area’s waters. Then cap off the day with a visit to an ice cream shop or biergarten. Also explore the barrier island’s other towns to the west: Pine Knolls Shores is just 4.6 miles away, Salter Path is 8.5 miles away, Indian Beach is 9 miles, and Emerald Isle 12.3 miles. Harkers Island, with the Cape Lookout Lighthouse, is also nearby, a 22.6-mile drive to the east.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Atlantic Beach
Like most East Coast beach towns, Atlantic Beach summers are the most popular travel season, when highs are in the upper 70s to 80s Fahrenheit and lows in the 60s to 70s. But those temperatures come with some serious humidity, which can feel muggy from May to mid-October. Spring and fall are more temperate times to stay in one of the area’s vacation rentals, with highs in the 60s and 70s and lows ranging from the 40s to 70s. Winters are on the cooler side, with highs in the 50s and 60s, and lows sitting in the 40s to 60s. Rainfall is between three and four inches for most of the year, peaking in early September.
Top things to do in Atlantic Beach
Fort Macon State Park
At the far end of Bogue Banks, the state park is surrounded by Bogue Sound to the north, Beaufort Inlet on the east, and the Atlantic Ocean on the south. It features a 1.5-mile beach trail, along which visitors can see more than 300 bird species or perhaps even spot dolphins in the ocean. The 3.2-mile Elliott Coues Nature Trail stretches from the fort to the beach area passing through the various terrains, covering sand dunes, marshes, and a maritime forest. The beach swimming area’s bathhouse and refreshment stand is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Fishing is popular year-round, with flounder, bluefish, and whiting as popular catches.
Hoop Pole Creek Preserve
The 31-acre maritime forest area right by the Atlantic Station Shopping Center offers a natural haven, known for its mile-long trail, which traces the creek. The route is lined with plants and shrubs that have adapted to the sandy environment like the redbay and American holly. You can also spot songbirds, butterflies, and turtles in the area.
Rachel Carson Reserve
A fifteen-minute drive away in Beaufort, the reserve — which is accessible only by passenger ferry and private boats — is home to about 30 wild horses.
