Salty Day’s
Great location, 2 streets away from the beach which saves on trying to find parking at the Circle. The place was very clean. The living room and one bedroom had a window unit but both of these kept the place very comfortable. The WiFi went out during our stay and Deborah kept us updated on the status. Deborah is a very welcoming host.

Oceanfront Townhouse steps to the Beach
Great beach access…the unit was very clean. Had a view of ocean and felt safe in neighborhood. Was not but a block or two from shops. Overall thought unit was a little larger but it was sufficient for the 3 of us. We had a nice time!

New! Oceanfront 2bd/2ba - Penthouse View!
We enjoyed our stay here! The beach supplies were amazing, and we had everything we needed for traveling with our toddler. One thing to note is you do have to put the sheets on the beds yourself. That wasn’t clear in the listing, and we waited until we were exhausted to do it later that night which wasn’t very fun. But very minor action in what was a wonderful family vacation with great views!

Blue Heron Shack
My husband, daughter and pet dog Mocha enjoyed our stay. We very much enjoyed visiting the Shackleford Banks and seeing the wild horses and dolphins. My daughter and I spent some time on their dock our last night and it was very peaceful, I only wish we took advantage of that more as well as maybe kayaking over to the little island across the way. My only fall back was I kept bumping my head on the walls of the apartment but I was the only one that had the issue, my husband ( who is taller) and daughter did not. Most likely my very own perception issue😜

Gone Coastal - 2BR/2BA Condo— Ocean & Sound Views!
To start I saw another review upset the view of the ocean wasn’t accurate. I’d like to say it’s totally completely visable and so nice to sit and drink coffee on and listen to the waves in the morning and evening. We will be booking here again! It was spotless and spacious! Loved the amount of beds and TVs for down time with kiddos. The balcony was so fun to hang out on! Less than 5 minute walk to the beach! Showers down at beach! Pool was SO cute love that the normal pool and kiddie pool are RIGHT beside each other. The kiddie pool is fenced seperate which as a mom of multiple is 🙌🏼 HUGE!! Close to fort Macon and cool shops! Very close to coffee, food lion bojangles and Walmart is only 18 min away! Splash pad very close as well!No elevator but the steps keep ya in shape and the kids loved going up and down them and up and down the hallways. No noisy neighbors very well kept up place! Loved the minimalist feel with decor kept it feeling very spacious! 2 full bathrooms! Easy clean up

Bogue Banks Retreat
We loved this place. It was clean, comfortable, it had everything that we needed, it’s walking distance to nice places to eat and drink, that are right on the water and it has a pool!!!

Pet friendly 1 bedroom unit with a view!
perfect place to visit with pets. easy in and out and walkable to all the fun Beaufort locations and great restaurants.

The "Riverhouse" - Beautiful Waterfront Getaway
Very clean and well stocked. We hope to go back. Beautiful view, we enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Light and Bright at Pook's Place - Bring the Pups!
This was our first time in Atlantic Beach and we all really liked it and would like to come back. We would gladly stay at this property again. It is in a quiet, private location, yet very close to the action. We were very comfortable with the size and furnishings. The owner even arranged a sign and balloons in the kitchen wishing us a happy anniversary. The back decks and yard were great for our dogs. We like things as quiet and uncrowded as possible, so we went to the beach at the New Bern Street public access point. There are restrooms and an outdoor shower. Once you are on the actual beach, you can only see big beach houses and no businesses, hotels or condos. We also enjoyed the aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, and Cape Lookout National Seashore, and highly recommend both. Having a Dollar General right down the street was very convenient, and there is a Food Lion not far down the road. There are also plenty of beach/souvenir shops close by. Many thanks to Aaron for a great stay.

Waterfront w/ Heated Pool & Private Pier
A beautiful house for our family to enjoy together. Being on the water and having a private pier/dock was so wonderful! Garet was very friendly and responded quickly when we needed to reach out to him throughout the stay! The only thing I would make sure to be aware of is that there are stairs throughout the house. I saw stairs in the photos, but in case you have someone staying who has mobility issues, keep in mind that there are at least 2-3 stairs that you must go up/down to get to any bedroom and the living room area. Wasn’t a huge issue while we were there, but I can see how it could be. All in all, we had a wonderful experience & would definitely recommend!!

Sound Side Cheerful 4BR Home In the Heart of MC
This is the second time my family has stayed here. It has everything we need, very comfortable and clean. Nice neighborhood to walk to the park and sit by the water. We live it here!

Blue Marlin Cottage
We had a lovely stay at Mindy's place. Mindy was responsive and flexible. The cottage was exactly as described and a quick drive away from Atlantic Beach and downtown Beaufort. Will definitely visit again!

Morehead City ICW Waterfront Beach Vacation Home
This is the first Airbnb experience with a beach house where the actual home looked better than the pictures! You can't capture the size of the interior or how beautiful the views are from the pics. Madeleine was a wonderful host. We had two problems, sadly of our own making, regarding the elevator and she was extremely responsive to the issues at hand even though she was out of the country. We absolutely loved this home and would love to come back next year!

Wipe Your Feet Retreat (New, Water Views, Pets)
The home was clean, well maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. The location was excellent—convenient and quiet, making it a great home base for our trip. Amenities matched the description, and everything functioned as expected. That said, the beds were not very comfortable, and the pillows were quite flat and inexpensive—if you're particular about sleep quality, I’d recommend bringing your own pillow. Overall, a pleasant stay with just a few areas that could be improved for guest comfort.

Quaint Cottage with Spectacular Views
The cottage was comfy, cozy. The porch is screened in and my favorite part was sipping coffee early in the morning listening to the birds and the surf. It was very clean and well appointed. If you want to cook, plan to stop at a grocery store on your way for provisions. There’s a small convenience/grocery store on the island with limited options. Didn’t bother us, just have to plan for it. Blue Ocean Market in Morehead City had great fresh fish options, fresh wahoo was delish!

Beachside Escape w/ Heated Pool | Family- Friendly
The host was very thoughtful and went above and beyond with providing a lovely gift basket and extra toiletries in case we forgot anything. She was willing to do whatever was needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Being in walking distance to the beach was nice, but the heated pool was the cherry on top. Only wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Oceanside King Bedroom Condo - Private Pools!
We loved staying here! Great location near the beach and in a private area. Everyone we saw was extremely friendly. The indoor/outdoor pools were another perk. Overall, we had a great time and would love to come back in the future! The condo was right at the beginning of Emerald Isle before going further to the area where there are more tourists-Which we thought was another plus. Thank you!!!

Oceanfront - Sunshine Over The Dunes
We totally enjoyed our trip and this unit we stayed in. Views and beach absolutely beautiful. Unit was open, clean and decorated beautifully.

Oceanfront First-Floor Condo with Stunning Views
We had the most incredible stay at this stunning beachfront Airbnb in North Topsail Beach! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views of the ocean. Waking up to the sound of waves and sipping coffee on the private deck as the sun rose over the water felt like a dream. The apartment itself is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully decorated, with a cozy coastal vibe that instantly makes you feel at home. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and the living space was ideal for relaxing after a day in the sun.

The Lookout: Tranquil Beachfront Condo
It was exactly what we expected. Plenty of room for my wife and I. A peaceful and quiet part of the island. The view is incredible. Coffee joy was a great place to get our morning coffee(a couple minutes down the road. Went to splash by sea, sears landing and river view cafe to eat. All were very good.

Serenity by the Sea, cozy beachfront with a view
Great place to stay. Very relaxing. High tide is right up to the sandbags so you can access the beach until later in the morning which was fine for us. After that the beach is open all day. Highly recommend this place. We will be back.

Toes In The Water Oceanside Studio
This was our second time stay with Sharon! We will definitely be returning! She is super sweet and responds quickly!

BREATHTAKING VIEWS/ DIRECT OCEAN FRONT
The condo was clean upon arrival, and the view was amazing! Lisa was very prompt at answering any questions. The balcony was small but still very nice, and the chairs were more comfortable than the normal wooden balcony chairs that have been at other rentals. It was very quiet, you couldn't hear anything from any neighboring condos. I would definitely stay here again if I chose to vacation in Atlantic Beach again.

Luxury Ocean Front
Perfect location, beautiful open view of the ocean, clean and well stocked for everything we needed for the stay.
