Apartment Rental off of Pungo Creek, Free Boat Ramp Included.
Crystal was a great host! Very clear instructions and helpful. Highly recommend.

Waterfront Studio Apartment
Let me start by saying the home is located in the heart of Jacksonville NC. The view is truly amazing! I felt safe, relax and at home. The home is equipped with everything that I needed. Melinda is a gem, she reached out with me a few times during my stay to make sure that I’m ok and have everything that I needed and also informed me the day she spotted dolphins were passing by. Love this place. Thank you Melinda for sharing your beautiful place.

New! Oceanfront 2bd/2ba - Penthouse View!
We were very impressed with the condo! Clean and updated! Beach was steps away! We really liked decor and homey feel of everything! Felt more like walking into your home than anything! Highly recommend! Lauren is extremely fast to respond and always had the best and most helpful answers! Do not hesitate! You must go!!!!

Bogue Banks Retreat
The location was great, and the host was very responsive and helpful. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back!

Lil' Dock/Riverfront apt./Late Sunday checkout!
If you're the type of person who appreciates a comfortable bed, a well-equipped kitchen, a squeaky-clean bathroom with a great shower, and a lovely setting with fantastic views, you're going to love Nelson and Elizabeth's place. We had such a wonderful stay, and we highly recommend Li'l Dock should you find yourself in this area.

Pet friendly 1 bedroom unit with a view!
Great quaint place to stay for a visit to Beaufort! The area was clean and very well situated with everything needed. It’s clear that Ruth wanted to make guests feel at home with sweet extra care and touches you’ll find upon arrival!

Oceanfront- Crystal Coast Persuasion
Fantastic stay! Fantastic, relaxing setting.... we loved the view of the water. There were some cute Easter decorations inside. The two dogs that live there are amazing! We missed our dogs so much and loved that theirs came to visit! Perfect stay for our family!

Historic Swansboro "Seaside Bliss"
Pristine VIEWS from inside the home! Unfortunately is was 40degrees outside with a strong wind, so we did not get to enjoy the wrap-around porch. :-( The home was clean and met our expectations. We were there to see family that lived in Hubert and Jacksonville, so the location was PERFECT for us. There are 4-5 restaurants within a block, all FANTASTIC! The "By The Bridge" is literally next to the home and provided some AWESOME food and drink! Anthony was very responsive and helpful. We will stay there again if the opportunity arises!

Waterfront Gracie's Cottage
Thanks Janelle! We had a great stay at Gracie’s cottage. A lot of charm in that place! We made some great memories fishing off the dock and watching the sunset! Thanks for hosting us!

Beachcombers Bungalow - Waterfront w/Private Dock!
Only issue we had, guys are avid fisherman, due to low tides and timing of such, we could not dock our boat at the house. Thankfully boat launch was 2 minutes down the road so it didn’t interfere with them fishing😊. Besides that perfect vacation, beautiful water, scenery, islands to tour and very relaxing time in the evenings😊

This place was perfect for my families little get away. private away from neighbors. had great property grounds for the kids and dog to play. the surrounding nature was awesome to wake up to.

Coastal Retreat on Waterway w/Hot Tub
We had a wonderful stay! The property was peaceful and private with a beautiful view right next to the canal. My kids especially had a blast fishing off the dock — it quickly became their favorite part of the trip. The setting was perfect for relaxing and spending quality time together. We would definitely love to come back!

Our stay was so relaxing and in close proximity to downtown New Bern. The mornings were so quiet with birds singing. We would definitely stay here again.

Blue Space - a couples retreat
What a perfect location literally right on the beach! We really enjoyed watching the dolphins play and jump every morning from the balcony! The mattress in the bedroom was so comfortable and the bathroom towels smelled so fresh and clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything you needed. It was super convenient having beach chairs already there for us to use. Christine was super responsive when we messaged her as well. We would definitely stay here again.

Oceanfront First-Floor Condo with Stunning Views
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kelly’s place! It’s the perfect spot for a couple’s getaway. The bed was super comfy and they had just about anything we needed to help accommodate our stay! We ate good, shared some laughs and just relaxed. The place is just steps away from the beach, which was a neat experience as well. Both Kelly and her husband were super responsive and eager to help! If we ever find ourselves in Topsail again, we will definitely be staying here! Thank you for everything!

Anita was great reaching out to make sure our arrival was good, and that there were no issues. We have stayed numerous times over the last 5-6 years. It is a great location, plenty of amenities, and feels the comfort of home. I highly recommend her place you are planning to stay in the Beaufort/Morehead city area. She is one of the best host I deal with when using Airbnb!
