Beach Front Condo- sleeps 4!
We had such a relaxing weekend getaway here! The beach access was so convenient and we really enjoyed how quiet the area was (the complex and the beach). My girlfriend is a germaphobe and was really impressed with the cleanliness of the apartment. We will be back!🙂

Blue Heron Shack
We had a wonderful time in Marshallberg! Susan and her husband were friendly and thoughtful hosts. I loved sitting on the dock in the evening. Egrets, barn swallows, eastern bluebirds, laughing gulls, ibis and killdeer! Oh! And a pair of nesting osprey. A bird lovers paradise. And the smell of jasmine in the neighborhood. Wow! The surrounding towns were also interesting! Lots to see. Historical Beaufort. Great food, especially on Harker’s Island. After a day on the Outer Banks. Great trip!

Gone Coastal - 2BR/2BA Condo— Ocean & Sound Views!
I can’t express how much we cherished our stay at this wonderful place during our Spring Break vacation. The apartment was not only spotlessly clean but also exuded a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it feel like a true home away from home. It was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need, ensuring our comfort throughout our stay. Leigh was incredibly responsive and helpful, promptly addressing any questions we had, which made our experience even more pleasant. Overall, this was a truly delightful getaway! 😊 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bogue Banks Retreat
My family enjoyed staying there. It was comfortable, beautiful, peaceful, friendly, clean, and we literally had the best sleep we have had in the longest time, those beds were so comfortable. We really enjoyed the doc and the pool.

Lil' Dock/Riverfront apt./Late Sunday checkout!
We had a wonderful and much needed get away - Exploring New Bern was great - so convenient and we really appreciated how peaceful Lil'dock was. More spacious that the photos showed and so clean and neat! Enjoyed sitting on the back porch and seeing the sunset.

Pet friendly 1 bedroom unit with a view!
This Airbnb was perfect for our stay! It had everything we needed and if I had a question Ruth responded right away. It was clean, cozy and in a perfect location

Oceanfront- Crystal Coast Persuasion
This place was very nice, my family and I stayed about three weeks. Everything is as advertised. Well decorated, spacious and comfortable. Mike was a good host and would highly recommend staying here especially in the summer months.

Historic Swansboro "Seaside Bliss"
Pristine VIEWS from inside the home! Unfortunately is was 40degrees outside with a strong wind, so we did not get to enjoy the wrap-around porch. :-( The home was clean and met our expectations. We were there to see family that lived in Hubert and Jacksonville, so the location was PERFECT for us. There are 4-5 restaurants within a block, all FANTASTIC! The "By The Bridge" is literally next to the home and provided some AWESOME food and drink! Anthony was very responsive and helpful. We will stay there again if the opportunity arises!
Waterfront house rentals

3BR Cottage|Waterfront|Wade Creek|Fishing|Boating
We had an awesome stay here. This was actually our 2nd time staying at this house. Location is perfect access to all the fun stuff. House is clean and well stocked. We would highly recommend this rental and plan to stay here again in the future.

The Grey Goose (Waterfront) Historic New Bern - Private Beach - BRING YOUR BOAT!
Beautiful area with amazing view to wake up to every morning! Would definitely be going back. Glad I found this place.

Waterfront w/ Heated Pool & Private Pier
The house was a good size to accommodate our family of 13, and was very clean and comfortable. The views couldn’t have been any more beautiful! There were plenty of things to do around the property, and close by. Garet was very clear with instructions and things to do near by! Would definitely love to stay again! Thank you for allowing my family to stay at your home.

The River House w/Boat Dock and Kayaks
My family and I enjoyed staying at this property. Only thing we had issues with was cleanliness of bathroom and air filter. Both of which were dirty and clogged with dust. Only reason is was somewhat of an issue is because my kids are highly allergic to dust. Besides that, great property.

Latitude Adjustment “East”
Great host. Very friendly. the place was easy to find. Plenty of parking & super close to the beach just as expected.

2 Good 2 Be True golf cart paddle board kayaks
The house was clean and spacious and the views were calming. The living room was really a place for gathering friends and watching the final four on the lovely sectional couch and giant loveseat chair. We ate our dinner around the dining table with plenty of room. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of room in each bedroom for our belongings. We walked to the beach and took the golf cart to the beach as well. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. The only downside was there was not enough seats on the outside decks where we spent most of our time. There were only two chairs and a love seat. We would stay again!

Expansive Sound front hideaway
Loved the house on the water. Waking up and walking out and watching the sunrise was awesome. The sunset was just as nice but a little obstructed by trees. The house was fantastic. 3 beds and two full bath made it very easy for us to stay. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you needed to cook anything at home! Pet friendly and my dogs loved the covered porch looking over the water! Ac and heat worked great and was very comfortable. I would go back.

Live Oak Lookout-Waterfront, Private, Pet Friendly
Our family enjoyed the rest and solace at this charming home in Harker's Island. The backyard opens right up to the water, which is soothing. There is a Dollar General close by and we really enjoyed our meal at Fish Hook Grill. The Island Ferry to Cape Lookout and Shackleford Banks is very close by as well.

🏖 Tranquil Water View_Beach Access_Kitchen_WiFi
We love bogue shores, and this unit is a good one for a weekend stay! Favorite things are the location on the back (beautiful view, and quiet) suuuper comfortable bed and pillows, new shower, smart TV, spaciously laid out with lots of storage. The kitchen is a little dated, mostly ideal for making coffee, and sandwiches for the beach. You cannot beat the location, pool, and proximity to beach access! Beautiful docks, and open green space with picnic tables/charcoal grills/benches overlooking the sound!

Oceanside 2 Bed 2 Bath Condo with Community Pool
Excellent Beach Condo! The condo was spotless and in a perfect location, just a short walk to the beach. It was quiet, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The owner was very responsive and quick to answer any questions, which made the experience even better. I truly enjoyed my time here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and comfortable beach getaway!

BS264 - pool, dock, and 3 minute walk to the beach
Great location, the house makes u feel at home

Oceanfront Gem: Pools/Hot Tub, Beach and Beyond
Beautiful location. Easy check-in and easy to get our things up to the unit with the elevator. Lovely view and perfect stretch of beach for long walks. Stayed here for Thanksgiving. Kitchen was very well supplied for cooking. A few minor maintenance issues and our preference is for firmer mattresses. But would still consider staying here again for all the other amenities.

Lovely studio condo at marina in Fairfield Harbour
The stay here was very nice ! A Great host ,that communicated very well and was very helpful with making sure we knew everything before we arrived. Easy check in and the resort pool was awesome ! We will be back!!!

Vitamin Sea
Teresa's place was perfect for our needs! Super clean and true to the listing. We had everything we could possibly need and more! Close to great restaurants and such a quiet and beautiful beach. It rained for a part of our visit but it didn't bother us at all with such a comfortable condo and balcony with ocean view. My sisters and I enjoy visiting this area each year and all agreed that we would like to make Teresa's place our regular vacation spot!

Luxurious 3 bedroom condo
Beautiful condo in a perfect location! Loved the balconies looking out at the water. The condo was so quiet which we loved! Anita was a great host. I'd definitely come back!

BREATHTAKING VIEWS/ DIRECT OCEAN FRONT
Lisa was a pleasure to deal with, always answered questions in a timely manner. The place was exactly as listed and had everything we needed. We walked the beach, searched for shells and saw a couple of dolphin pods. There were very few people on the property and it was very quiet. We had a GREAT time and would definitely recommend Lisa’s place. We hope to return sometime.
