Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in James City

Right next to base by the Slocum gate. You can't beat that!

Had a wonderful stay. Great place to stay, will definitely stay there next time I come to visit.

We rented this Condo because our daughter was getting married at Merrill estate and Gardens right across the street. Amie was wonderful to work with and her place was beautiful! Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I can’t say enough great things about our stay! From the start, the host reached out to us to offer an early check in for no charge. The condo was as-advertised, we loved the included beach chairs/toys. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking tools and spices. The location is perfect! Pebble beach is peaceful and clean, and there are many great restaurants within a 10-15 minute drive. We highly recommend staying here, we look forward to returning!

Incredible!!! Whimsical Whale was perfect for our family! We felt as if we were staying the week with a distant relative. We felt welcomed and wanted but were given space even though they live upstairs. It was a beautiful, convenient and safe location. They do fail to mention in the listing that they have just about everything you think you need for a beach trip. A storage shed full of all the beach necessities, even a grill we were able to use. I believe out of all of the beach gear we brought, we only used our wagon. She even brought us assorted chocolate covered pretzels, they were delicious. They do have WiFi, and televisions. Although the only way to stream is through the blu ray player. I would suggest bringing some dvds if you have little ones coming along. 10 out of 10, 5 stars across the board!!!

This was an absolutely wonderful place to stay! Amazing place for family ! Super clean and beautiful property!

We had a wonderful stay and everything that we needed was right there. We would definitely come back and thank you.Lisette for a wonderful vacation,

We love the Summer Winds property! We have been visiting for 15 years or so now. They have multiple pools, including an indoor pool and hot tubs. The condo itself is fantastic. It had all we needed for the week. Perfect for our family of six. Looks as if flooring was updated recently. Brittany, the host was fantastic to work with. Very responsive during the entire process of renting and the trip itself. Although we didn’t need anything. I have nothing but great things to say about her management of the condo. Also The unit is just a few steps to the beach. The beach and property is nice to walk. As a someone who enjoys fishing, it being close to the steps is good for not having to carry gear so far. My kids love it here and we have made good friends with others who rent the same week as us. Great place and we plan to come back. Thank you so much for the great place to stay!

Dawn’s condo was clean and comfortable with an amazing view of the stars, River, and nature area. The host was extremely communicative and went out of her way to track down the answers to some questions that came up. We took advantage of the amazing weather and drove the hour to the beach, so we didn’t utilize the recreation center amenities on this trip. We would definitely stay at this condo again. Dawn made us feel right at home.

Easy pool and beach access. Kitchen well stocked with pots and pans, coffee maker, blender, crockpot and other helpful items. It is on the 4th floor elevators were prompt but many of the units were empty given it was off season. Great time to go !!! Bring ice cube trays. Lots of towels for inside and the beach so don’t pack any! Plenty of blankets and pillows. Storage closet w/ beach chairs and an umbrella among other beach stuff for kids. Bonus there were fans in the rooms. Very spacious for 4-6 people. Lots of seating for dining in. Go grab some seafood at Willis’s and cook in the condo one night. Would book again.

Our family throughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful Condo. The Condo was very clean, comfortable and the area quiet. The kitchen was well equipped and made cooking easy. The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the flat walkway to the beach for walks and fishing. Haylee was a great host providing clear and very easy check in and out information. Very friendly, helpful with questions and quick response times. We would love to have the chance to stay at this condo again very soon.

Great location, great price. Shari and her husband were excellent hosts. Next time we come to Emerald Isle it will be tough to choose anywhere else.

We visited Emerald Isle for a friend's wedding. The condo was very clean and well stocked. We appreciated the small washer and dryer it met our needs. We would highly recommend a stay here. We will return to the area and would love to stay here again. The only negative was on our part we missed that the outdoor pools were not open quite yet, however the indoor pool was a great alternative. Overall we give Shari's place a 5 out of 5.

Clean, As Described. Amy was a great host. I reached out with an issue with Netflix and a question with checkout instructions and she was quick to respond. The black out curtains were a great touch. The 5 o’clock somewhere clock was a cute addition. Well stocked kitchen, clean bathrooms, beds were very comfy and clean. All linens were provided which was a huge deal for us traveling with 4 kids. The couch was comfy. :) great place to stay and would stay again!

I had such a great stay at this air bnb! Super responsive host and the location is perfect- a very short walk to the beach. I’m looking forward to coming back soon and would recommend to anyone!

The place was great for our family vacation! The view from the balcony was amazing, and all of the bedrooms have views of the ocean which was awesome! We spent most of the time at the beach right in front of our place, but the pool area was great as well! Andrew from the realty team was quick to respond to any question or concern and very friendly!

Wonderful location in Fairfield Harbour! Just 1 block to the neighborhood pool, where hosts Terri & David arranged free passes for us to swim. This home suited our needs perfectly while in town to attend a sailing regatta. We really enjoyed our stay so close to the marina, and look forward to returning for the next regatta!

We could not have been happier with our 2 month stay at Serenity by the Sea. The house is new and spotless, the kitchen is well equipped and the beds are very comfortable so everything together made it feel like home. Thank you Bonnie for being a great host.

What a great, comfortable spacious home! We brought bikes but there were two available in the garage. We’ll look forward to visiting again. Beautiful neighborhood with many things to do. Thanks to Amie everything went smoothly. Not a wrinkle.

Super easy access to the islands wonderful neighborhood. The cleaner had missed a few things when we arrived. Sarah was very responsive and refunded the cleaning fee immediately for the trouble. Over all I would recommend staying here! Nice little dog park for the fur baby a short walk from the house.

Amazing home in a beautiful community. Short distance from the Beaufort Water Front. Be sure to rent the golf cart. It makes getting around the island easy and enjoyable. Don’t forget to watch for the horses in the evenings.

Although we did not take full advantage of the amenities (we did not cook, rather it was a place to sleep) the house was perfect. The kitchen would be perfect for guests opting to cook. The living room was comfortable for gathering and bedrooms were comfortable and quiet. The location is quiet and feels safe.

Jesse’s place was perfect for the week my family stayed in Beaufort. It was clean and had everything we needed. The location is great. We rode our bikes to Front Street and Ann Street every day. We also rode around the neighborhood. The neighbors on the left (facing garage) were friendly. The whole neighborhood was friendly and safe. We also enjoyed a couple games of pickleball. The court was directly across the street. I will stay here again. Thank you.

We had a great time visiting Beaufort, Harker’s Island, Shackleford Banks, Cape Lookout, and Fort Macon during our trip. The home was clean and cozy with plenty of space for our family to gather. Kerri was responsive and friendly when we had questions, and we’d be happy to stay there again.
