Oceanfront,pet friendly,fenced yard

ChrisRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We couldn't ask for a better place to stay. The fenced in yard under the house was a great place to drop off our beach gear at the end of the day. The view of the ocean was incredible and everyone had an amazing time. 5 Stars for the Millers.

We have stayed at Mike’s beach house for the last five years and I can’t imagine staying anywhere else. The house is charming and the view is fabulous. There are a number of good restaurants near by as well. Mike is a great host!

Egret ~ Beachfront Cottage (pet-Friendly)

MichelleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
You couldn’t ask for a better little beach trip! Took a couple days to get away and the accommodations were perfect for my dog and I. Private, quiet, beautiful beachfront views and the fenced in area was perfect for my dog. Mikes place was clean, had everything I needed, and very comfortable. Loved it so much I booked a second stay!

Beachfront Condo, Steps to the Beach

DesireeRating, 5 stars1 day ago
This was a very last minute trip without much planning & Kellie & Russ were great to work with! Very responsive! Made sure we got into their condo without any issues.. suggested some local eateries.. but ultimately, their place is just steps away from the sand of the beach.. very quiet complex & that’s exactly what we were looking for! CB is just a couple minutes away if you’re looking to get into more things, especially the end of May when the Boardwalk opens up fully, but this trip was just for peace and quiet & a mental reset with three of my kids & my daughter’s best friend. Fort Fisher was just a short walk away and we enjoyed going and learning about that era and walking the battlefield. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for laid back & relaxed! Completely equipped kitchen and linens was a bonus! Wish we could have stayed longer, but back to school and work tomorrow!

*Renovated* Top Floor Oceanfront Condo w/ Pool

KenzieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
My two friends and I stayed at Nicholas’ place for a wedding in Carolina Beach. The condo was in the perfect location, with ~1.2 miles away from the strip of restaurants, bars, etc. the place was super and clean and had so many amenities readily available. Check in was a breeze, the stay was a blast and the check out was easy. Highly recommend going for a morning sunrise walk, visiting the Fat Pelican and stopping at the local vegetable and fruit stand. The one slight down fall is the amount of stairs when going up to the condo, especially if you are lugging around an oversized suitcase or a lot of groceries; however, the view makes up for the stairs. Thank you Nicholas for an impeccable stay; I will be returning!

OCEANFRONT PARADISE WITH SPECTACULAR OCEAN VIEWS

ChasidyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
My husband and I just wanted to get away and relax, and it was also his birthday. We were blown away by the view, the sunrises were amazing! It was perfect for just the two of us! We walked to the boardwalk which was 1.7 miles, had lunch and walked down the beach back, but if you just want to hang out on the beach it’s a simple walk and you are there. The best part is the sound of the waves. There is nothing better than going to sleep to the sound of the waves. We spent our last night on the patio playing Yahtzee, (which was there in addition to other games) while we listened to the waves. We had so much fun playing, I hope we didn’t wake the neighbors! It was a very peaceful, relaxing trip.

Fully Renovated Beautiful Oceanfront 2 BR Condo

JessicaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
My friend and I had a great stay in this condo! It's exactly like the pictures and was very peaceful. It's pretty close to the Boardwalk and other restaurants, but not too close to be in all of the congestion and hustle and bustle of CB. Stephen was wonderful and very responsive. I would recommend this place to everyone and would stay here again!

Oceanfront Incredible Ibis w private beach access

AmandaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Perfect beach cottage on Oak Island! It was incredibly well stocked and we wanted for nothing. The house is also adorably decorated, the linens and mattresses are very nice quality, the appliances are well kept and work as expected. The view from the front porch is heavenly and the outdoor furniture is ample and comfortable. We were also surprised to find swings beneath the house that the kids used all the time! Perfect area to hang out when getting ready for the beach or while taking a break. Outdoor shower on walkway and under the house have hot water! I honestly can’t say enough good things about this rental. We will book again and again!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this Airbnb . The location is unbeatable - just a short walk to the beach. What truly set this stay apart was the attention to detail from the host. It was the perfect place for a relaxing and memorable vacation!

Mermaid Hill- Soundfront with dock, bring boat!

AmyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Top notch custom home with spacious, signature covered porch, comfy beds, excellent kitchen, lots of fridge space. Very privately situated from the neighboring property with many lovely spots to sit alone or with others. Quiet master suite. Loved the comfy seating at the end of the dock. The elevator is super helpful when "moving in." I might advise guests to be prepared with paper plates if your party is large, because there are not many place settings. Bring kitchen towels, as there are not any. The master carpet is unexpectedly badly stained, but it is not reflective of the general cleanliness of the property. Some outdoor cushions need refreshing. Outdoor living spaces (a highlight of the property) were not clean when we arrived, but the interior was very clean. These are minor things, but deserve the owner's attention, because overall the property is nothing short of fabulous.

Spacious Ocean Front House

CostasRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The place was great for our family of 6. Every person had a bath towel and one wash cloth. The decks were great to sit outside for the sunrise! The kitchen amenities aren’t specifically listed, but they are enough if you want to do a bit of cooking. Bring your own beach towels - 2 are provided. We loved how quiet this place was down on the sound end of the island. It is a clean and cute place! We’d definitely come here again, though we were a bit put off that there are three hosts listed and no one responded to the two messages with questions that we sent before and during our stay.
