Beachfront vacation rentals in Pine Knoll Shores

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Ocean Terrace for the first time hosted by Hope the week of August 3rd. The location of the house has easy access to the beach and pool which is only a few steps away from the back door of the condo. We've been coming to the area for many years from PA since we have good friends that live in Morehead City and this home was so convenient to them and also Beaufort which we love visiting every time we are in the area. Hope was an awesome host being proactive and had the house well organized in every room you stepped into along with everything you could think of being at a beach house for a week. We look forward to staying here again with our family and grandchildren..

Great stay! We would rent from them again.

Fantastic vacation rental! Perfect location that is walkable to the beach and great bars / restaurants. Steve was super helpful and quick to respond. Only note is that the “small double bed” is more like the size of a single. The space can more accurately hold 8 (if one is on the couch).

great location, 1 minute from the beach, and the best stocked Airbnb I've ever stayed in! from a beach cart and a boogie board, to toiletries. Cathy has thought of everything. Definitely recommend to stay here.

We had a great time and a great stay.

Love, love, love! Everything as described, extremely clean and super easy access to the beach. Extra amenities all very thoughtful and so appreciated! All ramps to access beach which was perfect for my jogging stroller with my littlest! Highly recommend!!

We absolutely loved our time at Amy's condo. Gorgeous view, great amenities, and steps from the beach. I appreciated the stainless steel cookware, beach chairs, and ample towels. Will definitely be back!

We have rented many vacation homes over the years. This one is one of our top one or two! House was as described, clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well provisioned. The layout of the house was conducive to both socializing and privacy. And the beds were extremely comfortable.The only thing I would say to be aware of is that since Atlantic Beach has had the beach restoration completed, there is a lot more beach to walk across now than there used to be. But ultimately, this is a plus because it means there is still a beach there!

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!

What a delightful experience! The house was as advertised and more. Kate provided many thoughtful touches (easy entertainment navigating, extra kitchen and food treats, fully stocked kitchen and cooking aids, games, beach supplies), which were wonderful surprises. She operates a pet friendly house, with pet supplies too. The location is marvelous, and the Surf City beaches are wonderful. She truly is a five star hostess, and this lovely home is perfect for a family/pet holiday.

Great beach access…the unit was very clean. Had a view of ocean and felt safe in neighborhood. Was not but a block or two from shops. Overall thought unit was a little larger but it was sufficient for the 3 of us. We had a nice time!

Nothing beats waking up and immediately being able to see the Atlantic Ocean, great location! The kitchen has been recently redone, which was nice and spacious. The back balcony was half roofed so it was a nice place to sit away from the sun to take in the view. It was peaceful and quiet, everyone around us was respectful of everyone else’s surroundings. It was a blessing being able to take our dog with us on this trip. She felt comfortable in the house and fell in love with the beach!

Loved the location. I wasn't sure about everyone in our group liking being so close to the "hubbub", but that ended up being what something we really liked about the place. Lots of things to do that are walkable. Shops, restaurants, bars, coffee houses, a beautiful walkway along the intracoastal waterway, a kids playground... And the view can't be beat! Well stocked kitchen- like truly everything you could possibly need. Lots of seating on the deck. All the things! Mom was over the moon about her 90th birthday celebration.

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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Private Island Stay! We had an unforgettable stay on this beautiful private island in Swansboro. It was just my husband and I with our two dachshunds, and the entire island to ourselves—so dreamy! The home was cozy and well-equipped with everything we needed, plus the linens smelled ahh-mazing! We loved watching the boats go by, kayaking around the island, observing the wildlife and exploring nearby spots like Shark Tooth Island, where we found shells and actual shark teeth! The sunrises and sunsets were stunning, and the ocean breezes made it feel like a peaceful nature retreat, not to mention the hot shower which was pure luxury! Plenty of great spaces to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Close to nearby marinas and other islands, too. Highly recommend—we’d come back in a heartbeat!

We enjoyed our stay here! Close to the beach and within walking distance to a great restaurant. You could hear the upstairs room but we got lucky with respectful neighbors during our trip so it wasn’t an issue. The hosts were very responsive to anything we needed! Would stay again!

My family had a great stay at this property. Pamela is a wonderful Host! She is very responsive, proactive, and goes all out to make sure you are comfortable. The property is really nice, clean, and has pretty much all you will need...even for the beach! Our kids loved playing in the fenced backyard... and the adults loved sitting in the big rocking chairs watching them play. Thank you so much Pamela for providing all that we needed and doing all that you do for your guest! See you next time!

We really enjoyed our stay, great location, beautiful home, everything and more that we needed for a week in the beach. Perfect for our family getaway. There was a minor hiccup with the cleaning service when we arrived but Michael went above and beyond to get the situation rectified right away! We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

My wife, son, daughter, granddaughter, her guide dog and I stayed at Natalie and John’s lovely condo at Atlantic Beach, NC to celebrate our GD’s graduation from High School in Chicago. It was a 5 star stay. First of all, the house is mere steps from the beach. Plus, it’s only an across-the-intercoastal waterway drive to Morehead City and Beaufort if you’re looking for stuff not available in Atlantic Beach. Our GD really wanted to see wild ponies on islands in the area. So son, daughter and GD spent one day trekking the sands of Shakleford Banks (while we hosted the pup at the house) and another day with us on the island nature preserve in the harbor adjacent to Beaufort (where we could bring the pup). Lots of horses to be seen. In between horse visits we spent a lot of time sunning, swimming and walking the beach. It rained the day we checked out so we visited the NC aquarium in Pine Knoll Shores, a town next door. Hint: go early, as this place fills up fast, esp. when it rains.

Wonderful girls weekend at the beach. 3 of the 4 bedrooms had ocean views. Spent most of our time lounging in the chairs on the decks!

Great beach house! Our family celebrated 2 graduations by spending a week on the beach. The house was perfect location on an outstanding beach/area. The kitchen was well outfitted to enable family meals, the rooms and bathrooms were great to let us rest up/get ready for the next day of events, and the kitchen table allowed our fun family games. The house had beach chairs and umbrella available for us…and direct access to the beach! Lots of space for our group of 7 and easily could have supported more comfortably.

The house was exactly as pictured & Beata was so friendly & easy to communicate with. The house was very clean (by far the most clean pet-friendly home we have stayed in). You would have no idea it was pet friendly if you were traveling without four legged children. We can’t wait to return next year!

Our stay at Joe and Meg’s place was amazing! Super short walk to the beach, easy to find and get into, and beautifully decorated! The roof access was the coolest part and I loved the screened porch. Perfect beach getaway, couldn’t have asked for anything better!

Very nice area close to alot of great restaurants. Condo was nice with well furnished kitchen! We appreciated the cofee too!😊
