Cottage holiday rentals in Intracoastal Waterway

We had such a wonderful time at this house!! We traveled with two toddlers and a baby and felt like the house was very safe for them. They even had the best toys the kids were in love with! Chris communicated constantly and was helpful if anything came up. The back porch was dreamy for hanging once the kids were asleep. Highly recommend to any family!

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!

This place was perfect and so cute! We had everything we needed and the kids loved the hot tub! Kristy was very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely be back!

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!

Absolutely LOVED our stay! It was private, peaceful, and GORGEOUS!!!

This was my first time staying somewhere through Airbnb and it was such a good experience! Home was clean, on theme, and so spacious. The covered porches and hot tub make it that much better - 5 stars all around!

This was a very clean, comfortable and attractive place to stay. The location was very convenient to all the wonderful things Wilmington has to offer. The owners were very helpful with check in and provided a lovely place.

Had a perfect weekend. Home is beautiful, comfortable, AMAZING sunrises, relaxing hottub, just a few steps to the ocean, very private. So nice not having to drag coolers etc to the beach. Just carry a chair and a beverage for a lovely day. Walk a few steps back to house if you need anything.

We really enjoyed the proximity to walking distance of all the restaurants. Our dogs enjoyed exploring the fenced in front yard. The place was perfect for our stay. We will keep this place in mind when we return to Wilmington.

wonderful stay! first vacation as a new family 🥰

Great stay and location. We would love to do it again.

We loved our week at Blue Turtle Cottage! It’s bright, clean and charming. Just a short walk to the beach. Leslie and Kay were lovely hosts. We’d definitely come back if our plans bring us to OKI. The king bed is super comfy!. Thanks for hosting us! 💙🐢

We had a great stay! The house was clean and cozy. The beds were comfortable, the decor was cute and we felt right at home. We would recommend this place to anyone!

When my family and I arrived we felt right at home! The home is very clean and as described. Our pups felt right at home as well, and a fenced in backyard where they could run, and play was a huge plus. Lisa absolutely thought of everything. I really appreciated the coffee and Nespresso machines that were provided. Anything you would need for the beach such as chairs wagon etc was provided as well. Lisa left guides to local restaurants and attractions. I loved that she left a camera for us to share pictures of our pups and a photo album to see all the pups that had stayed there previously. I highly recommend this place and we will definitely book with Lisa again!

This place is very convenient when staying with a pet. Close to downtown Charleston with easy access to many of the restaurants and tourist areas (10-20 minute drive, depending on traffic) quiet, safe neighborhood, Whole Foods close by. Highly recommend if you are looking for an affordable place that is pet friendly.

Wonderful little pet friendly cottage super close to the beach. Michael and Kathryn are very responsive and wonderful to work with when there was a small issue which was resolved quickly. Their home is very comfortable. We loved sitting on the porch with the rocking chairs and grateful laundry machines were available. Thanks for a lovely stay!

My husband, pup, and I traveled to Jacksonville, NC to visit our Marine, his wife, and their new baby. The home was beautiful, clean, well stocked and very comfortable. The expansive outdoor area made it feel as though you were in the middle of nowhere, yet in reality you are close to everything (restaurants, grocery, gas, etc...). The huge walk in shower has made me rethink my own bathroom, as I would love to have something similar in my home. Cathy, the host, was always available and checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. If available, we will definitely stay here again next time we travel to the Jacksonville area.

We really enjoyed our stay! It was relaxing and peaceful! The outside area was very nice! Our bed was oh so comfortable. We would love to stay again when we come back to the area!

This cottage on pages creek was stunning, peaceful, full of nature and relaxing. Every detail was thought of, a very pleasant restful visit and an oasis at this destination!

My daughter and I love staying at Elizabeth’s place. Walkable to all our favorite places! Very clean and has all the necessities and more. This was our third time staying at Elizabeth’s place and we’ll be back.

We and our dog Sammie absolutely loved our stay! The beautiful and peaceful farmhouse was exactly as listed—spotlessly clean and fully equipped with everything we needed. It was so relaxing watching all the animals around the property. The host was quick to respond to any questions, and both they and the handyman were incredibly friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Super cute place! Had very nice appliances and was decorated nicely. The fan in the bedroom next to the balcony was very slow and it was kind of hot at night. And for anyone staying with kids, there are two small beds and one blow up mattress. The beds were a little smaller than expected but im glad the blow up mattress was there. Overall, really quiet place and felt safe. Would recommend!

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Nice private location within driving distance of base, the gym, and parks all things I was looking for. Debra was very friendly and responsive and had chocolate cake waiting for me upon arrival! Would stay here again!

Jimmy and Melanie's is the perfect spot to relax! The peacefulness of sitting out on the porch, the amazing access to trails right from the property, and giving the cats scratches were just a few highlights of our visit. The place had everything we needed and was even better in person! It's perfectly located to be somewhere you can spend time exploring the property or in easy striking distance to so much more. We'll be back!
