Beachfront home rentals with a pool

Stay Salty Villa *PooL open 5/15* walk to beach
Beautiful property and great location. This was an excellent rental for our last minute Spring Break staycation with our kids. The host was very responsive and attentive to our needs. We look forward to reserving the property in the future.

lovely stay, and walkable to the beach.

MAY SALE! Luxury 3Bedroom Pool, Steps from Beach
Perfect location for a Thanksgiving get away. Super close to the ocean and the little downtown area. Access to Morehead City and beautiful Beaufort is just minutes away. The house efficiently packs 3 bedrooms and 3 baths with a fully loaded kitchen. Beautiful sunsets and amazing ocean walks. Communication with Steve is a solid 10!!!

Oceanfront home- pool, playground, 3 suites, beach
We couldn’t have selected a better location for the two family 4 kid long weekend. Kids could scooter along the pedestrian road and the playground is within visibility from inside the house. Great amenities and every item you could need from a kitchen was available. The view of the ocean from the top balcony was beautiful.

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!

Beachski's Bungalow- Ocean views and Beach access
We loved our stay at the condo! The location was great and very quiet. It was the perfect size for my family of four. The kids were a bit sad the pool was closed since the cover was off and it appeared to be open but the closed sign was up but we knew there was a good chance it wouldn’t be open for the season. The building’s outdoor shower was also off but the one on the beach access worked great.

Lovely 1 bedroom condo right on the beach.
Jeremy and Melissa's place was great. Just as described. You can see and hear the ocean from the balcony. When my daughter left her beloved stuffed animal, they responded right away and helped me make arrangements to get it back to her. Lovey home, lovely hosts!

Seaside Sanctuary! Oceanfront Master, Linens Incl
Even though I had to leave 2 days early thanks to the historical storm, I still enjoyed Chris and Bobbie's condo so much! I cooked dinner for the other 3 guests with me and EVERYTHING I could have possibly needed was right at my fingertips! All the beds were very comfortable, the master shower was amazing, the decor throughout the condo was perfect! I can't say enough about the beautiful view either! I'm going to try again in the spring and if this condo is available, I will definitely book it! I highly recommend this wonderful property/unit! Chris and Bobbie are great hosts! Thanks to you both.
Beachfront home rentals with a hot tub

Pool | Beachfront | Private Hot Tub | Elevator
We had a fantastic stay at Erin and Jeremy's place over Easter weekend. Everything was as described and Erin and Jeremy were very responsive when we did have an issue (needed to restart the router for the internet). More over, either they themselves are very honorable or their cleaners are, because less than two hours after we'd left I received a text from Jeremy asking if we had left some valuable jewelry in one of the bathrooms. One of our guests had, and they were able to quickly make arrangements with Jeremy to have them shipped to their house. It shouldn't dissuade you from booking, but it is worth mentioning that the shared deck on the main floor is very much shared. The partition doesn't extend very far out so you'll likely get very familiar with the renters next to you. Not a big deal for us, but something to consider. Beach access is quick and easy. Well-stocked kitchen. Overall, we had an excellent visit and would definitely recommend this place for any Topsail renters!

"TopsailVacay" Pet Friendly Home, Walk to Beach!
Michelle’s home is pristinely clean and beautiful! The layout is perfect for a group. The elevator was so helpful for my ADA needs, as well as in general for our groceries and luggage. Between the two decks and fenced backyard, there are multiple outdoor ocean side options for relaxing, meals, or games. Our group also really enjoyed the kayak. Michelle is a great communicator and so hospitable. Highly recommend, and we look forward to a future stay.

Oceanfront Jewel w/ Hot Tub. Best view on Island!
This is a wonderful home with beautiful views of the ocean. We could have spent all day every day on the top level deck watching the beach and ocean. We will definitely consider this home again when we need to relax at the beach.

The Turtle's Nest- Oceanfront Cottage - Hot Tub -
This was an absolutely perfect Topsail vacation home! We loved every minute of our stay. The location is absolutely fantastic. So close to the little local shops and restaurants as well as super close to the bridge going over to the mainland.. The house itself was spotless and quite comfortable. Had everything we needed to cook full meals. Plenty of kitchenware for our group of seven. Proximity to the beach is by far the most fantastic detail of this house! The little private sandy beach *yard* attached to the deck is awesome for kids and the beach itself just down a few steps is so amazing. We could even sit in bed and see the ocean waves! This is the best house with beach access and views we've stayed at in Topsail. Also positive to note, the entire property being fenced in felt incredibly safe for kids and was fantastic for our dog. We realized the apartment was a part of the rental unit and we were so pleasantly surprised! It was a great separate space! Overall highly recommend!

"Toes In the Water" - steps to beach w/ Hot Tub!
Host was extremely responsive! My kids enjoyed all the games,activities, bikes, etc. My husband throughly enjoyed the hot tuband I enjoyed the peaceful surrounding. The walk to the beach was short, there was something for everyone in our group to enjoy.

OCEAN SOUNDS - UNIT 2106 OCEAN DUNES
Steve was an amazing host for my family of 4 (2.5 year old and 3 month old). We were right on the water and saw amazing sunrises and sunsets. The place was very clean and had everything listed. We went to the boardwalk and aquarium and loved how close everything was from the place. Steve called before we got there to go over all the check in details and even was able to get us early check in. We loved relaxing on the beach and playing in the sand. Thankfully they have an elevator because the third floor is fairly high for kids to walk back and forth often.

Boardwalk Beauty - 3 Blocks to Beach - Hot Tub
My friend and I took a mother’s & daughters trip with our daughters and it did not disappoint! We would stay here again :) super cute place and the beds were comfy!!

Hot Tub, BeachFront, Private, Hammocks on Beach
Great view and location. Large property. Responsive and friendly host. Stayed for a week and loved it.
Pet-friendly beachfront home rentals

The Salt Box Beach House of Surf City, NC
Pictures do not do this place justice! The views are absolutely breathtaking! We stayed here with my four kids and they loved being able to just walk across the street to the beach. We also loved waking up to the ocean views. Amy’s place was very clean and the small touches she adds made the experience unforgettable! I would definitely stay again!!

Oceanfront Condo-1A-Pet Friendly! Linens Provided!
Great location and host was quick to reply to questions.

OceanFront 3Bedroom/2.5Bathroom Dog Friendly home!
This was our second time staying here and it was just as great as the first! Nothing beats having the beach right out the back door.

Ocean Breeze, Beautiful Ocean Front Townhome
We always love staying here. The condo is so warm and cozy. Rob is a fantastic host. The views are amazing and the location perfect. We can’t wait to return yet again.

Walk to N Topsail with Marsh Views & Dog friendly
Had a great time here in Topsail and this place was a big reason why!!

Point Break Historic Beach Cottage
Loved our stay! Was able to check in early and was in a great location! We will stay there every time we visit.

Oceanfront,pet friendly,fenced yard
We couldn't ask for a better place to stay. The fenced in yard under the house was a great place to drop off our beach gear at the end of the day. The view of the ocean was incredible and everyone had an amazing time. 5 Stars for the Millers.

Sound Living - Ocean Views
The house has everything you could want for a peaceful getaway. Entertainment in the house was plentiful (all the streaming channels). Every possible tool you could hope to use in the kitchen.
