Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Bald Head Island

We loved being so close to the beach, the pool, and the pier. Pier bar drinks and service were great! We recommend the Bahama Mama and The Painkiller. The condo was very clean and inviting. The deck was perfect for our morning croissants and fresh fruit with coffee. We enjoyed watching the waves and listening to seabirds as they soared above the sea. Just a short drive to the Boardwalk gave us some great shopping and restaurants. We recommend Britt’s donuts. Don’t buy just one -cash only! Matthew was the perfect host! He answered my questions quickly and checked in to see if we needed anything. Perfect week for us to rest and relax!

My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at A Wave From it All, and it did not disappoint. We stayed for 4 nights, and were able to enjoy the beach and the activities with no problem. The only downside was that the pool was unfortunately closed for our time here, and we had originally chose this place based on the fact that there was also a pool, however that isn’t something Jenna could control of course as they were doing construction on it; we did not know until we arrived. However, the restaurants and the boardwalk are all very close, as well as the beach access being right across from our house. We walked the pond most nights as well which was nice. Overall, we had a great experience here and will be staying again next year.

We had a great stay, everything was explain and written down so we did not have to reach out for questions. Great hosts and a wonderful stay.

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.

Great house in a great location. The back yard and pool were lovely! Nice private fenced yard great for dogs and kids. The house was stocked with everything we needed and the attention to detail throughout the home was great! We would definitely stay again!

Our stay was great. Very flexible and responsive as our trip was very last minute. Within walking distance of the beach as advertised and the pool was lovely! ❤️

We had such a great stay!!! This house is in an amazing location so close to Wrightsville Beach. The house offers so many comfortable rooms to sleep in and has an amazing backyard with the pool and yard space to have fun and enjoy. Would definitely stay here again!

This beautifully landscaped secluded getaway is exactly what we needed. The large pond, small walking paths around the property and large screened in porch are a perfect way to detach from the day-to-day. When we stayed in May, the temperatures were cooler and the heated pool made it so much better to enjoy. The kids loved exploring the arcade machines upstairs as well. Highly recommend staying here if it remotely piques your interest!

Beautiful home in a great location! The house is located in a quiet neighborhood within easy walking distance to the beach. The private beach access and parking is a huge plus. The house was extremely clean, especially for a pet friendly property, and had everything we needed for our stay. The fenced in back yard was perfect for our pups. Would definitely stay again!

We had a very relaxing stay, great weather, great food, great access to local restaurants. Brian’s place was extremely well equipped and very welcoming. Our dog enjoyed the fenced in back yard. Thank you

This place was absolutely beautiful! It was able to accommodate all my family from out of state. The hose (Sean) was AMAZING and very accommodating! If you are wanting a secluded oasis, this is your place. I will absolutely book the place again!

This might be the best place I’ve stayed! We felt right at home and it was the perfect space for us. David and Brittany were very responsive and kind, and we had everything we needed. The self check in with the keypads was very helpful, and I liked that the house was hidden from the road and from other neighbors. Very clean, and the amenities and yard made us feel secure about having our dog there. Would definitely stay here again! It’s not too far from the beaches while not being in the middle of the tourist areas/traffic.

Great location, super close to everything in Wilmington! Diane is great, super responsive!

Our second time staying at Three Happy Crabs was even better than the first! Walkable to the beach and local restaurants, dog-friendly, and clean. Jessica is a great host and we would recommend her place to anyone visiting Holden Beach!

We enjoyed our stay over spring break. The arcade and game room were enjoyed by all. There were plenty of places to sleep our family of eleven. We loved the location and the ability to bike to several places including the beach.

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The highlight for us was how kid-friendly it was – the high chair and kids utensils and plates were great. The outdoor space was fantastic, providing the perfect spot for relaxing and playing. Plus, the location couldn’t have been better – just a short drive to the beach. Highly recommend for families looking for a fun and easy getaway!

The perfect place for our family of 4 with a 3 year old and a 6 week old. The place was beautifully updated and had everything we needed. Southport was a great vacation spot, right on the water and just 10 min from beach access. The area was nice and quiet! Jared was a fast responder and constantly checked in on us to ensure we were enjoying our stay.

Caswell Beach holds a special place in our hearts! It was a complete joy to visit and stay in this home. It is the perfect layout for a beach house and a family. We ate dinner out three times, visiting our favorite restaurants, and cooked in four nights. The kitchen is well-equipped. Our favorite thing about the home is the completely open living area, where we spent most of our time when not on the beach. Game night is perfect in the family room or around the dining table. We spent our mornings on the back porch. We ate dinner on the front porch. The sunset view of the lighthouse from the front porch is beautiful. The porches are HUGE and extremely comfortable with an ample amount of furniture. Everything is thought of in terms of amenities to make you feel at home. I don't remember it being listed, but there is a portable high chair that we used on the front porch. This home was extremely comfortable & beautiful for our family of 8 adults + 1 baby. Can't wait to stay here again!

We had the best time!! We were able to bring our boat and park it at the boat dock. I will say if you have a bigger boat I don’t know if you will be able to park there all weekend, but not a far drive at all to a boat ramp. The place was very clean and had all the things you will need! There is even dog toys and a bed! Betsy was super helpful and nice. We will definitely come and stay many more times.

Our family has gone to Oak Island every year around Memorial Day for the last 6 years and we've always been looking for a spot that we can return to every year. Nothing has been quite right. Until we stayed here. This spot has everything we love. Right on the beach with easy access. Great layout with big beautiful windows. Something fun for the boys to play (air hockey). Really comfy beds. Very clean. Walking distance to all our favorite restaurants. It was great. We will definitely be back!

The hosts equipped the kitchen with everything you could possibly need, the bath towels were plentiful, the games & puzzle cabinet packed full, and plenty of comfortable casual seating for a large group both inside and out. Roku TV loaded with the most common streaming service apps so bring your sign ins and passwords since there is no antenna/over-the-air network channels. Nothing as nice as being able to walk a direct path from the deck to the beach via the home’s private wooden walkway over the dune.

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!

You Me and the Sea was the perfect stay for our family. We needed a place for our family, kids and dogs to feel right at home and this was the place. The kids room filled with toys was wonderful when a storm blew through. The dogs loved the yard and had all that they needed too. Katie was great about giving us recommendations like for a gold cart. We will likely be staying here again!

Stephen’s place was absolutely incredible. Located literally 53 steps to the beach. When it was too windy to sit on the beach, we sat on the porch and enjoyed the view from there. The house had everything you can imagine and more. The decor was “tastefully beachy”. Everything looked new- not random used stuff thrown together. Even the kitchen cabinets were organized and in order. As a host, Stephen went above what he was expected to do! We will certainly rent from him again!
