Cottage vacation rentals in Onslow County

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.

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!

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 :)

Very close to the beach as well as shops & restaurants. very cozy home and elizabeth is very sweet and quick to respond!

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!

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

We had an incredible time! Micki was a great host and her place is amazing! We will definitely be back!

This property is truly a hidden gem! Perfectly situated near the beach but strategically positioned to offer protection from the wind—you get all the benefits of a beachfront location without sand blowing everywhere during your stay. The location couldn't be better for beach lovers. Just a short walk to the sand, but set back just enough to create a peaceful retreat after a day of sun and surf. Jill was an exceptional host throughout our entire stay. Her attentiveness made us feel well taken care of—she regularly checked in to ensure we were enjoying the property and promptly offered assistance whenever needed. The property itself was lovely and provided everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for the perfect beach getaway, and we hope to return soon!

The home was very beautiful and spacious. It was a very comfortable stay for my family. Our host Malory was very responsive and gave great instructions for check in and check out. Would definitely recommend it to others and would definitely love to stay at the home again in the future.

This little cottage was adorable and a perfect fit for my family of 5. They were very quick to respond when I did have to contact them, vet accommodating. Staff was amazing and friendly, especially the front desk and bar tender ! We will be back in July !

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.

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.

Benny's place was exactly as described. We stayed here for Thanksgiving, and it was the perfect spot for our family. We brought our boat and appreciated the convenience of being able to launch it right from the ramp. The location was easy to find, and we had no trouble accessing the house. The property was clean, tidy, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Benny was a great host, easy to communicate with, and made sure we had everything we needed for a fantastic experience.

Comfortable, clean space. Great location and easy access to the beach. Use of surf board was an added bonus. Highly recommend and will definitely stay again!

Great location right next to beach access. Perfect for 5 adults and a child

We had an amazing stay at the Airbnb. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Best of all, it was just across the street from the beach access— you really can’t beat the location. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Amy was an excellent host! Very friendly and helpful. I booked very last minute and she was right on top of it! Love the cottages! Great location. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

I had a fantastic stay at Catherine’s place! The home was clean & cozy, the property was beautiful & peaceful. Check-in was smooth and hassle-free. Catherine was responsive and thoughtful throughout the stay. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

You could not ask for a more convenient location in the heart of surf city. Amy was an excellent host, extremely helpful. There are a ton of shared items you can use for fun on the beach. Amy even provided surf boards for me and my son to enjoy. We enjoyed the walkable location and plan to return in the future. Also of note, we felt the location was sufficiently private despite being so centrally located.

Perfect place for the weekend! The backyard was great, our dog really enjoyed her time back there. Beds were very comfortable and the whole place as a whole was exceptionally clean. Would stay again!

This place is the perfect little space for a quiet weekend! It’s right next to all the stores you might need! Would recommend to everyone looking for a cozy space to stay at home and relax in!
