The Salt Box Beach House of Surf City, NC
Pictures do not do this place justice! The views are absolutely breathtaking! We stayed here with my four kids and they loved being able to just walk across the street to the beach. We also loved waking up to the ocean views. Amy’s place was very clean and the small touches she adds made the experience unforgettable! I would definitely stay again!!

Hidden gem on 4 acres w/hot tub
One of the best airbnbs we’ve stayed at. Everything was exactly as described. It’s about 20 minutes from downtown Wilmington but absolutely worth it for the privacy and seclusion we wanted for our anniversary weekend. You could tell Kristy was thoughtful in making sure we felt right at home. We will for sure be staying here when we’re in the area again.

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!

Seaside Palace
We loved the house and the proximity to the beach. We only walked to the beach once for the sunrise, but spent the rest of the time in the house. We loved that each room was spacious, clean, and had a bathroom for each room.

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!

Surf Bungalow w/ hot tub!
My family loves this beach house. We’ve visited twice and absolutely plan to come back. The kitchen has plenty of basic supplies so you don’t have to buy every single thing you need (salt, pepper, spices, oil). The location is perfect! The amenities are perfect! There are activities for kids and kids-at-heart to enjoy.

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!

MILE TO THE ISLE 1.8 miles to Holden Beach bridge
Tims place was exactly as described! Tim’s place was also in the perfect location. We will definitely stay here again!

Cozy Cottage on the Sandy Shores (1st floor unit)
Jill’s place was a great place for my boys and I to stay for a week at the beach! The location was perfect. The cozy little cottage was clean and organized with everything you may need for a stay away from home. Jill was very responsive and helpful when I had questions. I highly recommend her place for your stay.

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! 💙🐢

Wilshire Coastal Cottage - Dog Friendly
We had such a great stay at Wendie & Katy's Airbnb! The place was exactly as described – clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. The location was perfect for our needs. The communication with Wendie and Katy was fantastic; they were responsive, friendly, and made sure I had everything I needed for a smooth check-in and stay. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area – I will definitely be coming back next time! Thank you, Wendie & Katy, for making my stay so enjoyable!

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.

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!

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

CASStawaves
I stayed for a long weekend with my mother and six year old daughter and we all loved it. It was extremely clean and comfortable. We really appreciated how communicative the hosts were, going out of their way to accommodate us and make us feel welcome. We will definitely return!

SeaWalls 3 Bed/2 Bath OKI Coastal Cottage
We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful beach house! My wife, our three kids, and I cherished every single moment.The house was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with plenty of room for our family to relax. The decor was lovely, and the amenities were exactly what we needed for a comfortable and stress-free vacation. The kids loved the proximity to the beach, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the house that made it feel like home. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great family getaway!

I truly wonderful place! Would absolutely stay here again.

New Listing | Cozy Cottage | Fully Fenced Yard
No need to read this review; go ahead and book your stay here. You can thank me later. The Yellow Cottage was our top choice for this area based on affordability, privacy, and most importantly- it was perfect for our puppies. The home was very welcoming. Within minutes of unloading our car, my wife and I felt that we could immediately sit down and relax from our long drive while our dogs stretched their legs in the backyard. That kind of feeling is hard to describe fully in words and hard to come by on top of that. The host, Joseph, promptly responded and addressed a couple issues we had during our stay. He went beyond the call of duty with his assistance which was much appreciated. We’re definitely staying here again in the future!

Rosie’s cozy cottage
Rosie was a great host and we will recommend her beautiful place to family/friends who come to NC!

New Coastal Cottage! Cozy~ FirePit ~2 mi to Beach!
My husband booked this lovely little cottage for the two of us for a quick little getaway. It is conveniently close enough to everything you need (10 minutes away from anything and everything) yet secluded enough to feel like you're away from all distractions. The perfect little home away from home. Ian and Kristi put so much though and effort into this place. Wonderfully clean, perfectly decorated and stocked with all the essentials and more. So much attention to detail, even the blankets in a basket for those who get chilly at night while others need the air on frigid. :) We enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings and the little shaded back patio during the day. Such a beautiful Airbnb for the much needed R&R! We would highly recommend the New Coastal Cottage if you're looking for a stay close to the coast. Incredible hosts with great communication before, during, and after our stay. 10 out of 10! We look forward to staying again sometime in the future Don't let this one pass you by!
