Vacation rentals with a kayak in North Topsail Beach

I’ve stayed in many Airbnbs and have finally found a home worth every penny spent. Kim keeps this home away from home in pristine condition with every creature comfort available from slippers to comfy throws and snacks with dietary restrictions in mind. The location of the home is a short walk from some of the best views and restaurants in Swansboro with a great park which my daughter enjoyed! Do not hesitate to stay here and enjoy it as much as we did!

Aimee was responsive and kind. Our dogs LOVED the backyard! Cozy and sweet home and neighborhood close to Camp Lejeune.

Highly recommend! We LOVED staying here. Location was perfect. Everything about this home was amazing. So charming, safe and CLEAN. You will not be disappointed in your decision to stay here!

Chad was responsive from the moment we booked his beautiful home until the moment we checked out. He has thought of everything to make the stay a restful experience. He was proactive in ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the stay. The home is down a quiet street near beautiful beaches and has access to the river which we enjoyed kayaking on. We had a great stay and look forward to booking Chad’s place in the future.

We had to book this stay last-minute after our original Airbnb in Sneads Ferry fell through—and we are so grateful we found this place! The home was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a fun and relaxing getaway. The host went above and beyond to accommodate us on short notice, which made all the difference. We ended up having an amazing time at Topsail Beach and truly felt welcomed. Highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area!

This was one of our favorite vacation rentals ever. The location along the canal was so quiet and peaceful. We used the paddle boards and kayaks, and spent so much time outside at the the dock in the evenings. Our kids enjoyed fishing. We rented the golf cart for the week which made trips to the beach quick and easy. The house was very well stocked with paper products, condiments, and basic cooking supplies. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood quiet at night. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks for everything Mindy!

The place was perfect in every aspect: The location, size, accommodations, amenities, and proximity to the areas we frequented. For our tennis group, the total cost was less than what a hotel would have cost, which is historically where we used to stay. This experience, summarized by our ability to share one place, travel together, have meals together, watch TV together, and have the large space to spread out was absolutely fantastic. The experience was positive any which way you look at it. On top of that, Jana (and her husband) were super hosts with super friendly communication. We wish we had the opportunity to meet them in person, but..............maybe this time next year :-).

A really lovely 3rd floor apartment with nice views of the marshland behind and a sliver of view toward the water in the other direction. Nicely furnished, very comfortable--just a really enjoyable space to be in. As several other reviewers mentioned, there's an elementary school right in back so you do hear children playing from time to time during the day. Otherwise, the neighborhood is very quiet and the pretty residential street has hardly any cars going by. The beach is a pleasant 12-15 minute walk. There are a handful of cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance and many more within a short drive. I loved this place!

We had a great long weekend stay. The house exceeded our expectations, was spacious and the views were incredible. Only a half mile drive to the bridge leading to the surf city pier.

We loved everything about his place. My grandkids loved the dock because they could fish right in the backyard and we could see them from the back decks. We saw dolphins a few morning and even saw a stingray from the dock. Frederick was an awesome host. We would love to come back early spring or fall so they could catch some fish. Thank you we made some great memories! Beautiful and so peaceful!

I cannot recommend this place enough! the reason we chose this spot was the dock and yard for kids to play. there are plenty of beach front properties to choose from in the area but this place is special. a home away from home. the options for outside relaxing were amazing and truly offered spaces for fun and fostering connection with each other. we played wifle ball, flew kites, and took out the kayaks for an adventure of a life time exploring the near by islands and shallow water ways across the bay. every day was full of adventure, shell treasures, and ended with porch sitting and corn hole. our hearts were full and truly sad to leave. I'm already planning our next visit.

Our stay at Carolyn’s Lighthouse was exceptional from start to finish! The accommodations were top-notch, blending comfort and style seamlessly. The highlight was definitely the hot tub and outdoor movie theater—both were perfect for relaxing evenings after a day of exploration. We especially appreciated the host's, Richard’s, friendliness and attentiveness, making us feel right at home. The quick trip to the nearby beach was a hit with everyone, offering a refreshing and fun escape. Overall, this stay exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommend!

This place was even better than the pictures! The ceilings are so tall and the floor plan is so open that it just feels so spacious from the moment you walk inside. The neighborhood was friendly and quiet, and we walked several times to food/coffee/activities downtown. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

The host did a great job of having everything we needed. She goes above and beyond on extra things around the property. Would happily stay again.

This cozy cottage was exactly what my daughter and I needed for a weekend away in a secluded setting on their property. Charlene was a gracious host and the amenities in this cozy cottage were impeccable! It was super inviting, modern, and had all the things that you needed including very appreciated basket of snacks upon arrival. My daughter and I really enjoyed using the gym next-door and then headed out toward Wrightsville Beach the next day. We enjoyed the fire pit at night with provided firewood on the cute patio with the string lights and peaceful sounds of nature. Grocery stores were easily 5 to 10 minutes away and Wilmington was a good 15-20 minute ride. Topsail was 25 minutes in the other direction and we loved visiting there as well. The property is huge and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful cottage! Great stay overall!

As advertised! Would recommend and hope to return. Everything was great! There is not one negative I can think of. One of the best places we have stayed through Air BnB. Sue was a great host, super clean, comfy beds, plenty of space, well equipped kitchen, excellent location.
