Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Carolina Beach

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!

We had a wonderful time staying in Andrew’s place and would stay again!

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!

Everything was great at Robin and Sarah’s place. They had everything we needed from plates, cups, coffee, blankets, games ect. The beach was easy to locate and walk too. The only thing to be mindful is that the apt is on the third floor so we had go be mindful of our downstair neighbors when the little ones were running.

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.

Incredible easy to find and get into, place was very clean and you could walk to just about everything you needed in the surrounding area.

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!

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!

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!

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 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.

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.

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

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!

We loved this property. Lary is a wonderful host, and we felt right at home. What a beautiful home! I highly recommend this rental! It's perfect!

We’ve stayed with Grant and Laura a few times now and we’ve always had a pleasant stay. Their place is super close to the beach and perfect to come back to rest after a hot day outside. We have a large family, so I really appreciate the things they include for families with children: high chair, kid-friendly utensils, and outlet covers. Also, tons of towels, which is so helpful with four kids. It’s the perfect spot at Carolina Beach!

We had a wonderful weekend getaway with friends. The house was the perfect location with easy access to the beach and walkable to several restaurants and entertainment that Carolina beach has to offer!

stayed June 7th-14th 2025 and we had a great vacation. house was on the beach and walkable to the resturants and boardwalk. would recommend and stay again.

We loved our stay in Carolina Beach! This house is a GEM - so clean, literally steps from the beach, and slept 9 adults very comfortably! This was one of the best stocked Airbnb kitchens I’ve ever stayed in. Lindsey thought of everything. We only wish we could’ve stayed longer. Would highly recommend booking!

Absolutely loved this location. Perfect for our fur baby with the fenced in back yard. Walking distance to the boardwalk and Britt’s Donuts!! ♥️ Natalie was super responsive and truly a great host!!

Great hosts. Very clean. Comfortable beds and beautiful renovated kitchen. Because the cottage was built in an earlier era, the bathroom is quite small but the entire home is bright, sunny, tastefully decorated and spacious. We enjoyed being close to the boardwalk, beach and lake. Great location -quiet.

Jesse and the place was awesome! When we got there, Jesse was leaving but took extra time to meet us and show us around. He was very attentive and friendly and answered all our questions. The place and location was great! it's a slightly older place but Jesse kept it clean and everything was in working order. Very welcoming home and location was great, couple mins walk to the boardwalk and beach. I'm summary, Jesse was a GREAT host. We will definitely look him up again when we head back to Carolina Beach. Thank you Jesse!!!
