Waterfront Studio Apartment
Let me start by saying the home is located in the heart of Jacksonville NC. The view is truly amazing! I felt safe, relax and at home. The home is equipped with everything that I needed. Melinda is a gem, she reached out with me a few times during my stay to make sure that I’m ok and have everything that I needed and also informed me the day she spotted dolphins were passing by. Love this place. Thank you Melinda for sharing your beautiful place.

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!!!!

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!
We had a lovely long weekend exploring Beaufort. Quaint stay outside of downtown, and close enough for a walk or bike ride to restaurants and shops. Pretty cool to stay across from the Hammock House! Highly recommend.

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!

Why Knot Getaway. Rooftop with WaterView! Unit F
The pictures don’t do this cute place justice. It’s so well planned out to include everything you need plus more! Central location that was perfect for our stay and easily walkable to everything you could want to do in Beaufort. Don’t let the small space fool you. It’s huge on charm and function. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!!

Waterfront Gracie's Cottage
Thanks Janelle! We had a great stay at Gracie’s cottage. A lot of charm in that place! We made some great memories fishing off the dock and watching the sunset! Thanks for hosting us!

Beachcombers Bungalow - Waterfront w/Private Dock!
Only issue we had, guys are avid fisherman, due to low tides and timing of such, we could not dock our boat at the house. Thankfully boat launch was 2 minutes down the road so it didn’t interfere with them fishing😊. Besides that perfect vacation, beautiful water, scenery, islands to tour and very relaxing time in the evenings😊

Waterfront Mansion - Pool, Dock, game room, kayaks
This place was perfect for my families little get away. private away from neighbors. had great property grounds for the kids and dog to play. the surrounding nature was awesome to wake up to. Lorraine was really proactive at getting me ready for the stay and replied to any questions quickly. we arrived earlier than the check in time and had no issues. long story short it's a great place with an awesome host. highly recommend! she even opened the pool to us ahead of time!

Fifties Beaufort Home w/ Patio, On Newport River!
Beautiful home in a great location. Close to everything. Very quiet neighborhood. It was the perfect place to relax. I will definitely be back!

Beautiful waterfront home with private ramp/lifts
We always enjoy staying on this area. The view from the house was spectacular! We would definitely recommend staying here.

Waterfront w/ Heated Pool & Private Pier
Host was excellent we had trouble with the coffee maker and with in 3 hours he had expressed a brand new one delivered to the front door! Along with replacement remote that we couldn’t find! It was a great stay! Beautiful!! Kids loved the pool!! Will definitely be back!

Coastal Retreat on Waterway w/Hot Tub
We had a wonderful stay! The property was peaceful and private with a beautiful view right next to the canal. My kids especially had a blast fishing off the dock — it quickly became their favorite part of the trip. The setting was perfect for relaxing and spending quality time together. We would definitely love to come back!

Blue Space - a couples retreat
What a perfect location literally right on the beach! We really enjoyed watching the dolphins play and jump every morning from the balcony! The mattress in the bedroom was so comfortable and the bathroom towels smelled so fresh and clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything you needed. It was super convenient having beach chairs already there for us to use. Christine was super responsive when we messaged her as well. We would definitely stay here again.

Oceanfront First-Floor Condo with Stunning Views
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kelly’s place! It’s the perfect spot for a couple’s getaway. The bed was super comfy and they had just about anything we needed to help accommodate our stay! We ate good, shared some laughs and just relaxed. The place is just steps away from the beach, which was a neat experience as well. Both Kelly and her husband were super responsive and eager to help! If we ever find ourselves in Topsail again, we will definitely be staying here! Thank you for everything!

Loved staying here in this slice of paradise!!!! Exactly what I need to recharge my mom batteries!!! The community is really nice and welcoming as well . Felt at peace the whole trip.

Waterfront Condo Getaway
What a gorgeous setting! We started and ended each day on the deck looking out over the water. Andrew was a super host and we so appreciate him sharing his beautiful condo. The place was clean, felt safe, and had all the amenities we needed for a perfect respite. Thanks again!

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.
