Oceanfront! Captain's Quarters

NicoleRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was our 2nd year staying at one of Erica and Wayne’s listing. Fully stocked kitchen, ocean view from the balcony and the pool were all great! It was a great space for our group of 7.

KelseyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had a great stay at Zach’s condo. We had a relaxing week. We felt at home and were sad to go. Zach was an amazing host. He responds quickly. The sun shades were broken and he had a brand new one to us in a couple hours. He made our vacation very easy. The condo has everything you need from adults to kiddos. We will be back for sure!

New! Oceanfront 2bd/2ba - Penthouse View!

AriannRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!

Colorful 3 bdr - beach & intracoastal access, pool

StacyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had the best beach vacation at Kristin’s place. The house was just as described and very well stocked with just about everything we needed for a great stay. The kitchen was one of best for folks like us who cook most meals - plenty of pots and pans, utensils, and lots of dishes. Beds were all super comfy. And the use of the beach towels, chairs, sun shades and toys were WONDERFUL saving us precious packing space in the car. Kristin was very helpful with all my questions. 10 out of 10! Next time we are headed to the beach, this is the first place I will try to book. Thank you!

Little House On The Beach

TylerRating, 5 stars6 days ago
The beachfront location was amazing. We really enjoyed spending most of our time on the beach and the deck. The house is small, but if you intend to spend most of your time outside, it's perfect. The house shows it's age in a few areas, but this didn't affect our stay. The A/C kept it nice and cool during some hot humid days. The deck was perfect for morning coffee, watching a storm roll in, hanging out in the evenings, and most importantly private beach access! Most of the surf city shops and restaurants were only a 5 minute drive away. Overall, this was a great spot for a relaxing stay at the beach. We would book it again.

Stunning Water-front Home with Private Dock

CameronRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This house was the perfect size and location for our family of four. The fishing is great, especially at high tide, and the best part is it’s right in the back yard. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, but you’re still close to stores and restaurants. We drove in to Emerald Isle almost daily. We recommend this place and would definitely book again!

SEA STILTS. Ocean Front. 3BR/2BA. Beds Made!

ElizabethRating, 5 stars4 days ago
If you are looking for a private and peaceful location for a small family, this is it! The house was exactly as described and you cannot get any closer to the beach! It was perfect for us and our son because it was so close that taking breaks was a breeze. We like to do a mix of cooking and eating out. The kitchen was fully stocked and the location was within 7 miles of some really awesome restaurants and ice cream parlors. We found so many sea shells and it was so peaceful and quiet. Like they say, it is not close to public access and is on a dead end street so we never had to worry about being overcrowded. It was like having the beach to yourself with the exception of the few families whose houses were by you. Both the other properties were far enough away so you aren’t stacked on top of each other. We will definitely stay again and recommend this home to anyone. George and Brenda were great! If you want to be on the beach and have a relaxing location, look no further! This is it!

Seaside Joy - This is your happy place!

JessicaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Nice place! There really is no beach most of the time which was fine! The one thing that worried me was the steps down to the beach when they were accessible (low tide) they didn’t touch the sand so there was a large drop of so to speak. But sitting on the balcony was quiet and peaceful and it felt like no one was there but you so it was very relaxing! We could see the crabs walking in the high tide waters. The place was mostly clean there was some stains on the curtains and food in the sink but overall the place was clean and everything was in good working order. I would stay again. Oh and they had extra chairs and some buckets and shovels for you to use! We didn’t have any issues with parking! We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay!

Sun & Sand Beachfront Condo on Topsail Island

KenRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This was our 2nd time visiting Topsail Dunes, and Kara and Kim's place did not disappoint. The unit is exactly as pictured, is thoughtfully stocked with most things you need, and is a paradise away from home. There really are beach chairs waiting for you, a beach umbrella and anchor...you don't need to pack all that stuff. There are plenty of dishes, and enough cookware for anything we wanted to whip up. The washer/dryer are a major plus! The view and breeze from this 3rd floor unit are breathtaking. And, you will not ever get tired of the sounds of the waves rolling in. The hosts? Fabulous communication, friendly as can be, really seem to love sharing their place and it shows. I highly recommend this unit and these hosts. Kara and Kim, thank you! We will be back. Also, don't overlook the freedom of scheduling. Some hosts restrict you to Saturday-to-Saturday rentals. We were able to do 8 nights and would do it again! Thanks Kara & Kim!

Luxurious Condo, 4 Pools, Massage Chair, Arcade

JohnathanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Perfect family (with children) property. 4 pools (two kiddo pools) right on the beach, great restaurant onsite, and the room was perfectly decorated and accommodating. Arcade game and board games with ample Comfy seating was very nice. We would go back with all the kids without hesitation (and we are picky when it comes to where we stay for what we pay). Thanks for hosting us!

Loved staying at Bee and Joe’s place! Beautiful home with beautiful ocean views! Close and easy access to the beach. Convenient to go back and grab a snack or anything else when needed. Well stocked with supplies to get you started. They send timely messages with needed information for check in and check out, and are quick to respond when messaged. Perfect beach vacation! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Bee and Joe for a lovely family vacation spot!

The condo was clean, beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. We appreciated having a starter pack of paper towels, toilet paper, dish detergent and hand soap. You can’t beat the view and location of this condo. The hosts were very responsive. We would definitely stay again.

Steps to the Beach! Just "Wait-N-Sea"!

AutumnRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We just spent an unforgettable week at this beautiful oceanfront Airbnb in Topsail Beach, and I honestly didn’t want to leave. The view from the balcony was breathtaking….sunrises over the ocean, dolphins in the distance, and the sound of waves around the clock. The house was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing family vacation. The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds were comfy, and the layout was perfect for both quiet mornings and laughs at night. We swam, ate our weight in seafood, soaked up the sun, and felt completely at peace. This place gave us space to rest, reconnect, and make memories we’ll hold onto forever. Highly recommend to anyone needing a true reset. We’ll be back!
