Cottage rentals with a hot tub

The Crab Shack! hot tub, 10 min to beach & base
We wanted something close to Camp Lejeune and not too far from the beach and this place checked both those boxes. Clean and quiet yet not too far from restaurants and shops. It was a very peaceful and relaxing getaway. Carol was an amazing host.

The Salt Box Beach House of Surf City, NC
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!

Lake House w/pool&tub 10min to beach Dog friendly
Mallory & John were both very friendly, quick to respond and accommodating to our check in needs and questions throughout the stay. The home was clean and well equipped. Perfect for my family and only 10 mins from the beach! The kids loved the pool and backyard space for fishing, running around and relaxing in the hammocks. My only suggestion would be to pack bug spray for the back yard since you are near the lake (the mosquitoes loved us!) and to be prepared for a bit of a bumpy ride into the neighborhood as there are many potholes in the gravel road leading up to the house. Not a complaint and not the hosts fault of course. Just want to help! We would stay here again :)

Bout Time Cottage • Hot Tub • Pet Friendly
Marla’s place was home away from home for us. The cottage was exactly as described, peaceful, private, cute and enjoyable. The 1st best part was that it was a fenced in yard for our two large puppies. The 2nd best part was Marla acted as family being our host, making sure we got in on time extending our checkout time due to us arriving in at 4am, I mean she even left lights on for us so we didn’t walk into a dark unknown house. It was amazing and we will definitely book again.

Surf Bungalow w/ hot tub!
Very close to the beach as well as shops & restaurants. very cozy home and elizabeth is very sweet and quick to respond!

Sea La Vie with Hot Tub and fenced in yard.
It was asolutely beautiful here! after booking, we were so excited to hear they installed extras on the property and we got to enjoy a fire pit as well as the jacuzzi. easy drive to the beach and local stores and shops to entertain everyone. I would definitely come back with my littles next time, there was a lot to accommodate children! the only issue I had was unlocking the door and even though it was 1am, I was able to get someone on the phone to let me inside. wonderful stay!! 10/10

Tranquility Now
Zach and Erin are exceptional hosts. So kind and quick to respond to questions and offer suggestions. The house is indescribably peaceful. The interior is an excellent use of space and extremely well stocked. We spent an inordinate amount of time on the screened-in porch, probably forsaking some beach time, but it was just so amazing. We love the wooded lot and the ease of living in the house for our week in PKS. The neighborhood is perfect for taking walks and visiting the parks on the sounds side. The 9 hole disc golf course at Brock Basin was a fun way to end the days, and it was nice to sit and catch a breeze off the water before heading back to the house. There’s nothing new I can say about the lovely hosts or their perfect home that hasn’t already been said. We hope to come back often. Wait! One more thing - the shower in the master bath has AMAZING water pressure. Thank you both so much! Tranquility Now! :-)

Waterfront Getaway in Coastal NC – River Dunes

Pamlico County Cabin - Fish, Hunt, Visit!
We enjoyed our stay at the Smith Creek Lodge! Most people come for hunting but we needed somewhere to stay for a wedding. The house had everything we needed.

Warren Peace (South End) Floating dock
This is my family and I favorite place to stay! We fish off the dock, go kayaking, swim and play in the sand. It’s an easy walk to the ocean side if you want to go there. We spend most of time at the at the beach area there at the house.

Cozy Cottage on the Sandy Shores (1st floor unit)
Very clean and comfortable home steps from the beach. We would definitely stay again!

Seaside Cottage - Ocean View - Steps from Beach
Hilda was very helpful and responsive. Her home was perfect for our family vacation, we loved sitting on the porch and enjoying the views. The beach access is a short walk across the street. The home was very comfortable to stay in, a nice quiet neighborhood. Restaurants and grocery stores are only about 10 minutes away. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Hilda!

OCEAN & SOUND VIEWS, beach access right out front!
We loved everything about this house! Perfect location, great and VERY responsive host, clean! We had an issue where we couldn’t find something (our fault) and they brought us a replacement. The views are amazing! Everything was in the house from linens, to bikes, the deck was great! I can’t say anything bad at all! We will definitely visit again!

Beaufort Cozy Cottage - Waterfront end of street
This sweet little cottage was perfect for my husband and me. It was located in a quiet neighborhood that was just a half mile walk to downtown Beaufort. It made a great home base for us as we would walk to town, get lunch, and do some exploring then head back to the cottage to relax, then head back downtown for dinner and more exploring. Absolutely perfect for a peaceful weekend getaway.

Clean interior! Great Location! Pirates' Hideaway
This place was exactly what we needed for a family vacation at the beach. Walking distance to the ocean, close to restaurants, and stores.

Lazy Days on Cedar Island Bay
We had a very nice stay! If you are looking for a peaceful place on the water with all of the basics, then this is it. No frills, but had everything our small family needed. Violet is so friendly and a great host. It was so nice to wake up to the water views and spend time outside watching the birds and sea life. Very short trip to the Cedar Island Ferry and nice beach. We would stay again! Important tip is remember to bring your bug spray!

PELICANS REST ON CORE SOUND
We had such a wonderful time! The cottage was so peaceful, absolutely beautiful and completely redone! Extremely clean and fully stocked with everything we needed for our stay. It felt just like home right when we walked in the door. There was plenty of room for our family of three. Our 2yr old LOVED the huge yard and dock. The views of the sound from every window are AMAZING!!! The pictures just doesn’t do it justice! The sunrises were breathtaking and the night sky was just as pretty. Ms. Patricia was always so kind and quick to respond. We truly appreciated that! Thank you for allowing us to stay!

Cedar Island cottage, short walk to beach
Great location for a slow, beach getaway with my family. We especially enjoyed the lovely, breezy porch and the beautiful, wooded location. Walking to the beach and to the ferry was easy. We appreciated all the extra amenities: beach chairs, puzzles and kitchen equipment. We would probably pack more water for drinking next time, but the little store had everything we needed. The drive onto the island, while truly stunning in many places, reminded us that our country is deeply divided and it will be a relief when the election is over.

Peace at the Pier Unit A with king size master
Cathryn was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Place looked just as shown in the pictures and was very clean. Would definitely recommend to any family or group of friends who want a fun trip to the beach!

The Seahorse Cottage. Built in 2022
We came down for a family reunion and stayed at this wonderful home. The home is cozy, clean and in a fantastic location. Ronald was quick to answer any questions I had. Looking forward to staying here again.

Duck Hunting and Drum Fishing at South River
We had a great stay!! Perfect for our little fishing getaway. Didn’t find the huge redfish, but maybe next time. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Cozy Beach Getaway with a View!
This was an excellent stay for the price, clean and steps from the beach with a great view from the back porch. One thing worth mentioning is the driveway is particularly steep, we were unable to get our boat into the driveway without scraping the hitch. Should not be an issue for others besides those with very little ground clearance. Quiet and very friendly neighbors. Would definitely recommend

Salty Cottage Cozy and quiet getaway on the coast
Amanda’s place was exactly what an Airbnb should be—cozy, clean, and thoughtfully stocked with extras. My wife and I were visiting family in the area and wanted our own space since we had our dog with us—this spot was just what we were looking for. The home was incredibly comfortable, check-in and check-out were seamless, and everything was exactly as described. We would absolutely stay again!

Sunset Sound Cottage
What a wonderful home, location and host! Everything was absolutely top quality, and so many extra touches! We used the kayaks, fire pit (firewood provided!), ping pong table… easy walk to the beach too! Hope to stay again.
