House rentals with a kayak

Welcome to Serenity By The Sea!
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.

Waterfront Vacation Home away from Home
Jessie’s place was absolutely amazing. Extremely clean and very well appointed. We loved the pool and it was a very short walk to the beach. The location is very close to restaurants and public beach’s as well. The only issue was that our vacation was cut short by tropical storm Debbie. Can’t wait to rent with Jessie again in the future.

Kayaks, Private Beach Access, Dock, Game room!
Very nice spot in Surf City, very spacious and conveniently located, near most of places in town and to Topsail and other beches for day trips. The house is well stock with all essentials you need for weekend break and even more, just perfect for up to two families with kids, my kids always enjoy bunk beds and games. Kayaks were a plus, all in good shape and dock is very near just to walk. Nick was very responsive and prompt for any questions, will return when visiting Wilmington.

House of the Rising Sun
The house was beautiful and everything was perfect. Isaac was very responsive and helpful. Having access to the backyard to take our dogs out was so convenient. We would absolutely stay here again!

Waterfront House Near The Beach
LOVE LOVE LOVED this place. Slade was amazing to work with as well! He responded quickly! Had an amazing weekend!

Dot's Spot!
The entire property is beautiful and there is plenty to see and do! The private beach and dock access were the highlight of the stay and we utilized it at every opportunity. Such a unique experience just 10 minutes from downtown New Bern!

Incredible Water Views on CB - The Happy House
The serene and peaceful setting was beautifully located on an 11 acre lake. It had a walking path, and there was a 5 minute walk to the beach. The house was located on a dead-end street and was very quiet. It was immaculate, roomy and had a fantastic front lanai. Hosts checked in a number of times and were always gracious. Plenty of places to eat. The Veggie Wagon, a 3 minute walk from the house had many food choices, including ready-to-bake meals we could just pop in the oven. This VRBO is just as advertised. Both of us would highly recommend The Happy House, and will return.

Waterfront Retreat with boat lift/dock & 2 kayaks.
Denise’s place was beautiful fully stocked with everything you would need definitely would recommend.
Cottage rentals with a kayak

Oriental Water Front Cottage on Broad Creek
This was our second stay at Chris's waterfront cottage. We were lucky enough to be here during the local Christmas holiday festivities in Oriental. Chris's place was so peaceful and serene. We can't wait to stay again!

Newly Renovated Cottage on a Tidal canal
Second time staying here, and we still love the lovely house, the location, the views of the canal and OIB. Plenty of space for our 6 member family, close to beach (3 minute walk), private canal pier. Highly recommend, just make sure to pack toiletries and linens!

Carolyn's Lighthouse a Bright Spot on the Horizon
Great location off the beaten path but still close to all the stores, restaurants, and coastal activities. Very quiet and peaceful. Everything we needed to enjoy a stress free and relaxing holiday with our family of 6. Richard reached out ahead of time to allow early check-in and make sure we had everything we needed. Excellent option if you’re looking for an alternative to the traditional "beach rental"

Canady House Cottage by the Water
Steve and Hannah’s home was perfect for a family get away. The house was cozy and had beautiful sunrise and sunset views!

Sunset Sound Cottage
As advertised! Would recommend and hope to return. Everything was great! There is not one negative I can think of. One of the best places we have stayed through Air BnB. Sue was a great host, super clean, comfy beds, plenty of space, well equipped kitchen, excellent location.

Weigh Anchor Cottage - Quaint, 40s Classic
Great home in such a beautiful town. We had everything needed and much we needed more time to use! Visited Mill Whistle Brewing, which was just few minutes walk with a great selection. Front Street shopping & restaurants only 25 minutes walk. The front porch was a favorite for our stay! appreciated the flexibility with check in/out times. We hope to visit again.

ICW Waterfront Beach Cottage - Sleeps 9!
We loved everything about his place. My grandkids loved the dock because they could fish right in the backyard and we could see them from the back decks. We saw dolphins a few morning and even saw a stingray from the dock. Frederick was an awesome host. We would love to come back early spring or fall so they could catch some fish. Thank you we made some great memories! Beautiful and so peaceful!

Waterside Cottage 'HoriZen'
Second time that I have been here and it was just as amazing as the first time. It is literally a play ground with all the water activities right at your fingertips and the sunrises and sunsets are picturesque!!!
