The Salt Box Beach House of Surf City, NC
There is only 1000 character limit, so I will try my best to wrap this review up. If I could give this place a million stars I absolutely would! The location was absolutely amazing, being able to walk to the beach in less than a minute alone gives this place 5 stars. The host was incredible and responded to our questions in a minute or less! The beds were fantastic, the water was nice and hot! The kitchen was incredible! I absolutely loved how the entire bottom was fenced in, our dogs got to run around have freedom! Everything we could possible need was already provided( I had brought a few things for the kitchen to use and turns out I didn’t even have too) the house was very clean, board games were provided also! I would strongly recommend this to any of my friends/family and we will definitely be coming back to stay here. If you’re considering an air bnb right on the beach, look NO FURTHER, this place is it!! Top tier! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Hidden gem on 4 acres w/hot tub
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!

Bout Time Cottage • HotTub • 6 Beds
nice quiet neighborhood close to beach we really enjoyed our visit

The Turtle's Nest- Oceanfront Cottage - Hot Tub -
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!

Sea La Vie with Hot Tub and fenced in yard.
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!

Outdoor Shower & Hot Tub - Central to Everything!
The space was exactly as described and Diane was super responsive and helpful. The kids loved the hot tub, there were tons of unexpected amenities (waffle maker! Cupcake liners!) which made for more breakfast and snack options. Be sure to plan for renting a car - while there is a nice restaurant next door, you’ll need it to get around. I would recommend planning a stop to the carnivorous plant garden while you’re in town!

Summer Lovin - oceanfront cottage w/ hot tub
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.

All Decked Out in Kure Beach
Bryan's place definitely felt like a little home away from home on the beach. It's a quaint cottage, packed with essentials and was just the right size for us two. I was very thankful for its size and no stairs when I unfortunately sprained my ankle on day 2 of our vacation and had to hobble around in crutches the rest of the time! Even though you're right off the main road, there was no noise and was pretty quiet and peaceful. Beach access is right down the road and very easily walkable, or hobbable. The hot tub was a great plus to relax in after a long night. Bryan was very communicative and prompt with questions we had prior to booking. Check-in was very easy and check-out instructions were very reasonable and clear. Overall a great stay that we would definitely book again!

Pinch of Peace, Dogs Welcome!
This place was so peaceful and cozy. The house is beautiful and feels like home from the moment you walk in. Very quiet neighborhood, great fenced yard with pavers for dogs to play without the mess of mud, and great area to hose off beside the house so we were never tracking in muddy paws or sand. We visited with our three large dogs and even they felt so relaxed almost immediately. The house is spacious and has a lot of character. We loved looking at the art. The hosts are very hospitable and so kind. It is so hard to find places that are truly dog- friendly and as clean and comfortable as this one. We had a very special stay and will definitely be back.

The Good Life
My family and I had an amazing stay! As soon as we walked in the place smelled so clean. The owner responds super fast and I didn’t even have to bother him for anything. I can’t wait to book my next stay!

Warren Peace (South End) Floating dock
We had a wonderful stay over Spring Break. Just a short walk to the beautiful beach, which was never crowded. My husband and son fished off of the floating dock and caught a spot fish, several blue fish, and a flounder. We also were able to catch some crabs in the crab trap. We left the trap there for future visitors to enjoy. The weather was perfect. There are restaurants, ice cream, and a small market 2-3 minutes from the house or you can drive a little further to Surf City for more choices. Cheryl was responsive and proactive. We will definitely be back!

Cozy cottage near the Black River
Sharon was a great host, very responsive to any questions we had and gave us some recommendations. The house was perfect for my wife and I, very clean, great outside deck and close to the river. We stayed here because it was close to our expedition to the Three Sisters. Check in and out was very easy and we were able to check in a bit early. Will stay here again the next time we are in the area.

Blue Turtle Beach Cottage
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! 💙🐢

The Surf Chalet
I didn't get to see much of the beach but the location of this place wasn't too blame! I went off season, and still a bit chilly but place is super walkable to the local fare and attractions (including the beach). Space was clean and cozy.

Eclectic Classic Modern Beach Trailer
This is a fantastic place to stay. The location is phenomenal - close to the beach and walking distance from breweries, restaurants, etc.! The hosts were accommodating and very hospitable. Highly recommend. We will absolutely be back!

Surf4life Oceanfront Beach Cottage
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!

Old Ferry Cottage
Absolutely loved this cottage! It was beautiful, with so many nice touches. Very and welcoming and so comfortable. The owner, Gretchen, was so easy to work with and accommodating. I highly recommend this place and plan to stay there again!

115 Cozy Cottage
I decided last minute to do a solo trip to oak island for the weekend and I don’t think I could’ve picked a better place! The location was perfect, it was conveniently located to restaurants and a nice Publix for groceries. The walk to the beach was very manageable and actually enjoyable since you go over a beautiful scenic walkway. The cottage itself was cozy and quiet, the screened in porch was perfect for reading. Plus the hosts were so friendly and helpful! I am already looking at my calendar to see when I can squeeze in another stay this summer!

Beachside Cottage: Pet Friendly
We really enjoyed our stay. The house has a 'beachy' feel to it and we felt relaxed and in beach mode the second we walked in. The path to the beach was right across the street from the house and the beach location is hard to beat....simply magnificent. Everything we needed from Publix to restaurants was just minutes away. Shannon and I highly recommend this home and we are sure to be back soon! Glenn

Cottage at Greenfield Lake, Airy, Natural Light
The place and stay were fantastic. The kitchen had everything that we needed, which is what I was worried about. Would stay here again 100%!

A little oasis by the beach and boardwalk!
We absolutely loved our stay! Both Rebecca and the property were fantastic. The pool was a perfect spot to relax, offering a beach retreat without the hassle of sand. (Sometimes you wanna be at the beach...without dealing with the beach. HA) The location is ideal for a staycation or vacation and I really appreciated how peaceful and quiet it was. It’s also incredibly walkable, making it easy to explore nearby shops/food and enjoy a walk with our dogs. Love it!

Masonboro Manor*Cottages@Kure*Pool*Beach*Historic
An awesome location in a quaint seaside community. Good amenities and space for many guests!

Coastal Cottage with Private Dock
I cannot recommend this place enough! the reason we chose this spot was the dock and yard for kids to play. there are plenty of beach front properties to choose from in the area but this place is special. a home away from home. the options for outside relaxing were amazing and truly offered spaces for fun and fostering connection with each other. we played wifle ball, flew kites, and took out the kayaks for an adventure of a life time exploring the near by islands and shallow water ways across the bay. every day was full of adventure, shell treasures, and ended with porch sitting and corn hole. our hearts were full and truly sad to leave. I'm already planning our next visit.

Salterra- Dogs Welcome!
A great location and wonderful place! This home is super clean and cozy. It was the perfect size for our family and just a short walk from the beach. You can hear the ocean from the porch! Highly recommend!
