The Salty Pelican - Canal Front
An absolute gem in the heart of Carolina Beach. The location is incredibly convenient.. everything is within walking distance. The check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the area felt very accessible. The view was absolutely beautiful, making the stay even more special. I highly recommend this place and would definitely return.

Oceanfront 2bed/bath Penthouse with large balcony
I absolutely enjoyed my stay at Shirley’s place. I will most definitely look to stay again when visiting the area. As a host, she was top tier. Proactive, quick response, descriptive and so very wonderfully hospitable. Her place really felt like a home away from home. Not once did I feel I missed any creature comfort, not once at all. From cooking utensils, to streaming services during the evening and so many others. If you ever see this place available, I encourage you to book it as quick as you can. For what you pay, you receive so much in return and no worries in the least. Again, Thank you Shirley! I only hope that when I’m visiting again your accommodation is available. -Omar.

Intercostal Condo
Our time at this rental was amazing. Great location, clean and as described. The residents are super friendly and also helpful. You will definitely feel right at home.

Custom OceanView Lux Getaway! 2 Bedroom/2 bath
Carlo’s Airbnb was great, description that was given matched the Airbnb perfectly. The view was amazing. Carlo was a great host as well, she checked in on us during our stay and gave great feedback when needed.

Totally Beaching - Unit #2
This host lives on site and great to communicate with. Felt like home. This place was beautiful. The porch out back was so relaxing. Clean and wonderfully supplied. Quick walk to the beach and neighborhood was quiet. Will return again hopefully soon!!

Beautiful Ocean View 2 bedroom, 2 bath
We had a great stay! The condo was cozy and clean, and everything was well-kept with all the things we needed. Victor was super friendly and quick to answer our questions. The location was central, and the view was beautiful. They provided beach chairs, pool noodles, and toys, which was nice. The only downsides were that the hallways smelled like cigarettes when we first arrived, and the restaurant was closed for the season, but that was a resort thing and no fault of the host. Overall, it was a lovely place!

Quiet, Scenic Little River
Such a lovely, clean and beautiful home in a safe and upscale neighborhood. We loved the fact that there were several restaurants and bars that were walkable and delicious!

Breezy Oasis - Pool-Jacuzzi-Walk to Beach-Snowbird
This unit was worth every penny to stay there. It was very big and spacious, had a fantastic view, nice screened in balcony and was a very short walk from the beach. Everyone in the neighborhood was friendly and very welcoming for both myself and my fur baby. I can't say anything bad about the place and am already making arrangements to return in the future.
Waterfront house rentals

Stylish Waterfront Home with Dock & Ocean Views
Great house for entertaining with plenty of seating areas. My family enjoyed cooking, grilling and fishing at the house. The beds were clean and comfortable. The backyard was big and had a scenic view of the water. We hope to stay again soon!

The Mazelle Porch at Gause Landing
Amazing place to stay! Celebrated my wife’s 40th birthday with family that came in to town from Arizona. The house comfortably fit 4 families and had the most beautiful view!! Plenty of space and was close to stores and restaurants. It is at the end of a very peaceful street and felt safe and secure. Highly recommend!!

River Retreat
This was the perfect spring break getaway in a quiet relaxing area that was a short distance from Myrtle Beach or the cute downtown area of Conway. All amenities were provided and it was a tranquil place to call home for the week. Loved the screened in porch and the river view! This place is truly a hidden gem!

Our Place By The Sea
If you like a beach setting, if you like the lure of the ICW and marsh as i do, then you will love Bob and Donna's listing in Oak Island. This is my new favorite place. Perfect home away from home for my family of 5. Home and amenities are perfect. Wonderful Carolina room and back deck with great views . Easy 10 minute walk to the beach.

Intracoastal Waterway Cottage Boat Dock Fishing
Great place to stay and relax. Picked a place on the intercostal water to crab but only caught a few. Maybe August was too late. I liked how she had a lot of towels and labeled where things went in the kitchen. Plenty of stuff such as paper towel, trash bags, dish washer pods, and laundry pods, etc. I’ve rented places before where we had to go buy trash bags and other stuff for the stay.

Beach House on Canal Waterfront with Dock
Great place to kick back and relax. Will definitely visit again.

A Wave from it All
A Wave From It All was a perfect vacation. The views and house are pristine, peaceful, and clean. The accommodations perfectly housed 8 of us. The screened in Carolina Room offered plenty of seating and beautiful views. The beds and linens were super comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked with pots, pans and spices for cooking and beautiful dinnerware for entertaining. We loved the decor…it was kind of unique romantic-gothic-coastal-Victorian (I know a mouthful but if you see it you get it). It looked as though the owners had made it a hobby to collect beautiful original pieces of art. The house has a dock that we utilized for fishing, crabbing, floating, and kayaking. Under the house there are two kayaks, a paddle board, floats, chairs, skim boards and boogie boards. You can walk, bike, or golf cart anywhere. The hosts were by far the kindest and most thoughtful we have ever experienced. They offered excellent restaurant recommendations. 10/10 recommend!!! The island is beautiful.

Fairmont Canal beauty
Perfect place to spend two weeks with our family. The 10 minute walk to the beach was great since parking is very limited. There are also several restaurants within walking distance and more options just over the bridge.

Beautiful Condo on Arrowhead Golf Course
Wonderful and relaxing stay! The property was beautiful and our pups loved walking around the grounds. Very peaceful and relaxing, just what we needed to recharge. Hope to be back soon!

Waterfront *Extended Stay Discount* Pet Friendly
The location was directly on the beach which was perfect. Located near everything which was another pro. I’d definitely book again.

Condo on Intracoastal Waterway!
My husband and I have always stayed beachfront. This beautiful unit has definitely changed our mind. The view over the intercoastal waterway was stunning. The location is quiet and peaceful within a lovely neighborhood. The host was contacted with several questions and responded in a very timely manner and was always courteous and helpful.

★Intracoastal Retreat★Resort Amenities★Golf Course
Working with Tanya and Jeff was super easy. Tanya was very communicative and helpful during our stay, she constantly checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. The condo was clean and had plenty of extra linens and supplies for the beach. My son and husband really enjoyed fishing off the pier, which was in close walking proximity to our building. The pool areas were clean and enjoyable. We also utilized the basketball court and pickleball court, which my boys enjoyed.

Intracoastal Waterway Waterfront First Floor Condo
we have visited our daughter at ccu often, and this condo was really nice. the view of the river was very nice from the balcony and especially loved seeing the pirate ship go by. the kitchen had everything you needed and loved the provided snacks and water. the place was decorated really cute and the hosts responded very quickly. would definitely recommend this rental.

Top Floor, Just Steps to Ocean 2B,2B Great Views
This is one of the best Airbnbs I ever stayed in. Clean and comfortable with beautiful Ocean views and access to the water.

Direct Oceanfront Penthouse Corner Condo w/ Pool
This place is beautiful, quiet, not busy (at least in early April), beach is clean, friendly neighborhood-if we return to this area we will try to obtain the same condo. Rebecca our host went so far above and beyond what was expected-when I arrived at the wrong place, when I asked about early check-in, and when I drove off with their parking pass. We have rented Airbnbs many times all over the US and Central America, and I can tell you Rebecca is by far the best host we have ever had. Her immediate response to some of my questions was priceless.
