One Bedroom Condo Minutes From the Beach
Condo was very cute and a great stay! The hosts were very responsive and the space was very homey and clean. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Tranquil Oceanfront Retreat on the beach
We had a great time. The place and surroundings are beautiful. We will be back

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!🙂

Kure Beach 2nd Row Apt
Shelby and Donna are great hosts. They both went above and beyond and we are so thankful for all of their help to make our vacation happen!

New! Oceanfront 2bd/2ba - Penthouse View!
We were very impressed with the condo! Clean and updated! Beach was steps away! We really liked decor and homey feel of everything! Felt more like walking into your home than anything! Highly recommend! Lauren is extremely fast to respond and always had the best and most helpful answers! Do not hesitate! You must go!!!!

Close Enough WB
Great place to stay. Loved the location and reasonably priced!

2 mins to beach - Pets OK - Kitchenette - W/D
Skipper was so kind, communicated quickly, and the place was perfect. It’s so close to the beach, a cute space with everything you need, and clean and cozy. It’s pet friendly which is a necessity for us. Unfortunately our dog was barking a lot one morning and the neighbors called Skipper to complain. Skipper was still so kind about it in the message and was understanding of our situation which otherwise would have made us anxious. Kindness goes such a long way. Highly recommend!!!

Better Daze - 1 Block To Beach
We loved our stay at Michael’s home! The house is exactly as described, nicely appointed, and very clean. We appreciated the welcome snacks and nice touches such as makeup wipes and qtips in the bathroom. Michael is very responsive and helpful when we had questions. We will definitely stay again when we return to the area.

Oceanfront Oasis ~ Huge Winter Discounts!
Amy was able to accommodate a last minute stay for my family and I! The house is right on the beach so we were able to relax to a lovely view and easily step right onto the beach! Would definitely come back!

Beautiful House close to 31st Street beach access
We had a wonderful stay in Oak Island. This was our first visit to the are and we will be back. Terri's place was a perfect location. We had first class access to a golf cart from a recommended company and drove that everywhere. I highly recommend this. Our dogs loved the beach and the porch at the house. Super clean and well designed for our family. Terri was very responsive to our questions. I was thankful she left detergent for us to do some laundry. We forgot ours. Highly recommend.

Little House On The Beach
This little house was the perfect beach stay. The wrap around deck with steps that lead to the sand, private beach access, and big window views of the ocean were amazing. I will emphasize that it is exactly as advertised, “little house on the beach” with one shared bathroom, 2 small bedrooms, and a living room/kitchen this is a perfect spot for a couple, small family, or just a few adults. If you’re trying to save and fit more the beds will accommodate just want to caution it will be cramped! The house was spotless and stocked with everything we needed.

Da Island Retreat - Steps to Beach
Our stay at the Beach House at Topsail was nothing short of wonderful! The location is unbeatable—just a quick and easy walk to the beach, which made our daily seaside adventures incredibly convenient. The house itself exudes a rustic charm that perfectly complements the coastal vibe of the area. We felt right at home the moment we stepped inside. The instructions provided were clear and straightforward, making our arrival and stay seamless. Minnie, our host, was fantastic—she was attentive and ensured that everything was in place for our comfort. We thoroughly enjoyed the cozy and inviting space, and we're already looking forward to our next visit!

High Tide at CB - 75 steps to Beach Access
Great location and house for our family of four! Everything was perfect!

New Hot Tub, Surf Studio, Easy Walk to Beach!
This was the perfect place for a getaway. Private, quiet neighborhood, and a short walk to the beach and a couple of restaurants. Loved the fenced yard for the dog and the private patio area and hot tub. Joe and Michelle were very proactive and responded super quickly to a request we had while we were visiting. Would definitely return!

Oceanfront 3 bedroom home; private beach access
Excellent home to stay at for some relaxing time at the beach. The house is set back slightly so you do get views of other houses when sitting on the porch, but still have views of the ocean as well as a private access point to the beach. Ample amenities provided - clearly a lot of thought went into making guests comfortable, for example, new dish washing sponge, trash bags, toilet paper supply, coffee pods, the list goes on! And very clean!!

Beautiful house with private beach access.
My family has been coming to Emerald Isle for 40+ years and this was the first year I rented a place to bring more people. I could not recommend this house enough. It includes modern amenities and finishes that are hard to find in other Emerald Isle rentals. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you may need to host dinner which we did multiple times during the week. The back screened in patio was perfect for card games and hanging out while we waited for some rain to pass. The bedrooms were incredibly comfortable and each had its own in suite full bath. Getting to the beach is incredibly simple. For 5 people we loaded up the golf cart with chairs and coolers and took two bikes. 3 minute ride if that. Everything you could need for the beach is included. Finally, Monica and Michael were fantastic hosts and checked in to see if we needed anything. They even offered to reimburse us for tools to adjust one of the bikes. You can tell they love their home and enjoy sharing it. Thanks!
Condo rentals with beach access

Beachfront Condo, Steps to the Beach
This was a very last minute trip without much planning & Kellie & Russ were great to work with! Very responsive! Made sure we got into their condo without any issues.. suggested some local eateries.. but ultimately, their place is just steps away from the sand of the beach.. very quiet complex & that’s exactly what we were looking for! CB is just a couple minutes away if you’re looking to get into more things, especially the end of May when the Boardwalk opens up fully, but this trip was just for peace and quiet & a mental reset with three of my kids & my daughter’s best friend. Fort Fisher was just a short walk away and we enjoyed going and learning about that era and walking the battlefield. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for laid back & relaxed! Completely equipped kitchen and linens was a bonus! Wish we could have stayed longer, but back to school and work tomorrow!

Carolina Beach Boardwalk Lux Condo w/ Ocean Views
Took my 2 young kids for a quick trip to Carolina Beach and Vanesa's condo was wonderful! The best thing was the location, right in the middle of all where so many shops and restaurants are and only a block walk away from the boardwalk. We never had to drive anywhere during our stay! The condo itself looked just like the photos and was very clean and neat. Vanesa was very responsive to all our questions and friendly. We will definitely be keeping a bookmark on this place for future quick trips!

Carolina Beach Cabana Boardwalk and Beach Condo
Sabine was an incredible host! She reached out after we checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. The cabana is street view but nothing can beat being so close to the beach. A few steps and you are on the boardwalk where you can go to the beach or go to a number of different bars, restaurants, dessert places. Parking was never an issue in the garage and I always felt very secure having coded for all the entry ways. Would definitely stay here again - 10/10 highly recommend!

2br/1ba on Lumina Ave - Steps to everything!
It was a great stay! The place was super nice, and had everything we needed. All the appliances were also super nice and updated.

Quiet 1 bed 1 bath condo at Oceanfront Resort

The Beach Hive - Oceanview Condo - 2bdrm
The host was extremely responsive. Loved the place. Everything in Surf City is super close. Had a great stay. Would rent again!

Oceanfront w/ Huge Balcony & Private Beach Access

Just Steps To The Beach
This was our 4th year staying at this property. John, Joanne and Wendy an are top notch hosts…very responsive and ensure we have everything we needed. We’ll be back next year!!
