Beachfront vacation rentals in Appalachian Mountains

This home exceeded our expectations! The location of this home was just beautiful. The home itself was very roomy yet cozy for 2 families with 3 children to enjoy. It was also super clean. This Airbnb had the best equipped kitchen i’ve ever seen in a rental with plenty of good quality pots, pans, dishes bowls, various glassware for cocktails, and grilling tools. Even plenty of plastic dishes for kids, ziplock bags and plastic wrap! No detail was forgotten. There are plenty of areas to enjoy meals or just hang out inside the house , out on the deck or on the patio. I also wanted to mention there were plenty of towels, extra pillows and bedding for all 7 of us. I didn’t have any issues but reached out to Matthew to let him know we were very pleased with his home and he responded right away. Matthew’s home provided us with the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful family vacation in Emerald Isle and we look forward to visiting again in the future.

Our second stay at this beautiful location. You can't beat the view and proximity to the beach. The owner is very responsive, and communication was timely and clear.

Well equipped house within very short walking distance to quite, private beach. Great amenities -- including bikes, kayak and paddle board. Private beach was gorgeous and very dog friendly, water was calm and shallow. Short driving distance to Lewes for great food, including terrific crabs.

We absolutely loved our stay at Kearney Castle and we will definitely be back. The rental was in the perfect location and the views of the ocean were perfection. I love that the owners allow us to bring our dogs. They loved the beach too! The hosts recommendations for local restaurants were spot on. We loved Mulligans and Noosa Beach Grille. The deck was awesome also. we visited off season but the street was quiet and the beach was mostly empty, which we loved for the dogs! The house isn't brand new but that's what we loved. We loved the handwritten note instructions on the fridge and the sea shell shelf as a guest book of memories for all the past guests!

Michelle’s home is pristinely clean and beautiful! The layout is perfect for a group. The elevator was so helpful for my ADA needs, as well as in general for our groceries and luggage. Between the two decks and fenced backyard, there are multiple outdoor ocean side options for relaxing, meals, or games. Our group also really enjoyed the kayak. Michelle is a great communicator and so hospitable. Highly recommend, and we look forward to a future stay.

Space was perfect for us staying as a family of 6. Bedrooms were great and the home offered plenty of space throughout. Awesome backyard, although we did not really use - very close beach access. Had all the amenities we needed for a long weekend!

This place was just perfect for my little family! We loved the location, and enjoyed the amenities of the home. Stef was a great host, providing helpful information in advance! Highly recommend!

My family and I loved our stay at Beverly’s beach house. The house was beautiful and the location and views of the ocean could not be beat! Beverly was quick to respond and helpful when we had a couple of questions during our stay. Thank you for everything!

We absolutely loved this place! Spacious & right on the strip! 1min walk to beach across the street. Any issues we had & reported, she responded very quic & resolved them. We’re actually working on getting details about the area to move there!

We had a wonderful stay at Dare2Dream. The house is in the perfect location at North Beach. The private pool/spa and the elevator made our stay perfect with children and elderly parents. We had plenty of space, everyone had a private bedroom and in suite bath. Love the decor and the views. Will we come back, absolutely!!

Wonderful Home! We really enjoyed are stay here! I loved the open feel on this inside as well as all the balcony’s to go out and listen to the ocean and see the sun come up or look at the stars at night. My favorite part is the spacious backyard with the fire pit! And a big shoutout to Shane for being an exceptional host!

Clean fresh feeling, well furnished and comfortable. Kaili was extremely responsive. Pool is lovely.

Lovely home! Super sweet and responsive hosts. This was a perfect getaway for our spring break. The home itself was beautifully decorated and had plenty of space for several adults and children. Each room has its own full bath which made things easier for all - and the hot water heater handled the load of us incredibly well! The car port and side yard handled our three large SUVs with room to spare. The balconies were lovely to utilize in the mornings and afternoons, and we spent several nights around the huge fire pit. The wall separating the two units is very thin, which was the only drawback when the neighbors were up late. Otherwise, awesome stay and would highly recommend!

Summer’s place is a great place to stay. Right across the street from the beach with easy access. Home is a nice clean and relaxing place to unwind after a day at the beach. Summer was very accommodating with a request and truly appreciated her hospitality. I highly recommend staying here. Great bang for your buck. Would definitely stay again. Thanks so much Summer!!

We had a delightful stay at Matt's and Jenn's. Their cottage is warm and cozy (loved the oversized fireplace), with spectacular views. And while there are many homes nearby, it has a real sense of privacy. The kitchen has almost everything you need (although some good wine glasses would be nice) and the appliances are high quality. We found the beds, with their medium-firm mattresses, very comfortable and we slept well. The wi-fi was excellent and the TV and thermostat didn't require a PhD to operate. Very simple and intuitive, unlike so many properties. Plus Matt and Jenn were very responsive to our queries (and they didn't have onerous check-out requirements, again like so many other Airbnb properties). We would definitely return, particularly in the off-season, but then spring and autumn are our favorite times of year. Highly recommend.

We had such a great time here that our 6 year old son cried when it was time to leave! The house is beautiful, comfortable, clean, and the backyard is truly an oasis. The pool and backyard area can’t be beat! The pool toys provided along with the backyard games were such a fantastic addition to our stay. Upon arrival, we were met with a box of baked goods and even little chocolates on the beach towels! It was such a nice touch that we’ve never experienced before at a rental. The beach is only a five minute walk away and the restaurants at barefoot landing are only a five minute drive. This location really is amazingly convenient! The neighborhood felt safe and we enjoyed going for walks with our dog in it. This truly felt like home away from home and we hope to be back in the future!

Great location with amazing views. I can only imagine how lovely it would be in summer for a little getaway. .

Excellent stay. The Private beach is perfect for families and is an extremely short distance from the house which is convenient. Great view of the ships right from the windows. Stay was perfect

This home is absolutely beautiful. I loved being able to wake up early and watch the sun rise over the Chesapeake bay. Even though it was cold the kids enjoyed splashing in the water with their rain boots. We spent the Wednesday before Thanksgiving at colonial Williamsburg. Afterwards we ate at Captain George’s, a place Tas recommended. It was absolutely worth it. I was also pleased with being able to make a good Thanksgiving meal. The stay was relaxing and peaceful. We would love to come back in the near future.

A beautiful property just as described! A great to place to stay!

Perfect location for a Thanksgiving get away. Super close to the ocean and the little downtown area. Access to Morehead City and beautiful Beaufort is just minutes away. The house efficiently packs 3 bedrooms and 3 baths with a fully loaded kitchen. Beautiful sunsets and amazing ocean walks. Communication with Steve is a solid 10!!!

We had a great time at Ryan’s place. It was just like the description. Ryan communicated rapidly to any message. We will definitely be looking to come back.

What a beautiful spot to unwind, to unplug and to feel grounded by and with Mother Nature. Laura was a great host. She was very communicative and helpful with local suggestions. The place was clean, cozy and it felt just like home! ✨

we rented La Spiaggia in December, and while it's mostly going to be more beautiful and better in the summer (since it's a beach house) it was still perfectly fine in the winter; well insulated and with good strong heaters. speaking of the beach I can't stress enough of how close this place is to the water; I'm talking literally ten steps to the sand. I would certainly recommend the place as a great summer getaway!
