Cottage rentals with a hot tub

The Crab Shack! hot tub, 10 min to beach & base
Absolutely wonderful place to stay! My wife and I felt it was the perfect weekend getaway, and Carol showed great hospitality/communication. The place smelled as clean as it looked, and it was very well stocked. Couldn't have asked for a better time!

The Salt Box Beach House of Surf City, NC
Staying at this Airbnb felt like a true escape. The location couldn't have been better – being mere steps from the beach was such a treat, allowing for spontaneous walks and the calming sound of the waves. It was wonderful to find such a genuinely dog-friendly place; my pups absolutely loved it, which made the stay even more enjoyable for me. The entire atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and I found the off-season to be a particularly lovely time to visit, with beautiful weather and a sense of peacefulness. The property itself had everything I could possibly need, making it easy to settle in and feel comfortable. Amy was fantastic – always communicative and helpful, ensuring a smooth and easy stay. While there were plenty of options for things to do in the area, I also appreciated the opportunity to simply unwind and work remotely in such a serene setting. The upper deck was my favorite spot for getting sun many hours of the day. I’ve stayed in many airbnbs and this is a favorite!

Lake House w/pool&tub 10min to beach Dog friendly
Everything excellent, a very quiet and private house, very close to the beach and shops, I loved being there

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.

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!

Tranquility Now
We very much enjoyed our stay at Zach's Place. He was very helpful and accommodating to all our questions. We felt right at home!

Pamlico County Cabin - Fish, Hunt, Visit!
This place is really fit for purpose. I take a group of guys there every year. We eat we sleep we fish we repeat.

Pet Friendly Beach Cottage at Emerald Isle
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.

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!

Seaside Cottage - Ocean View - Steps from Beach
Hilda was very helpful and responsive. Her home was perfect for our family vacation, we loved sitting on the porch and enjoying the views. The beach access is a short walk across the street. The home was very comfortable to stay in, a nice quiet neighborhood. Restaurants and grocery stores are only about 10 minutes away. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Hilda!

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.

OCEAN & SOUND VIEWS, beach access right out front!
Great location. The home is clean, well maintained, and nice appliances including a nice coffee pot. Everything is well stocked - plenty of trash bags, soap, toilet paper, detergent etc. Information and instructions were posted in convenient locations.

Clean interior! Great Location! Pirates' Hideaway
This was our second time staying at Diane’s beach cottage and it didn’t disappoint! We absolutely loved staying there! It was the cutest place with so much to do nearby. It was such a great, relaxing place and it had everything that we might need. Diane was so friendly and very responsive to any questions that I had. The house was perfect, very clean. We had the best time and will definitely be back!

Neuse River Cottage
Perfect setting. We loved it

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!

Morehead Retreat
Enjoyed our stay. It had everything we needed except a personal chef. Clean, spacious and as advertised.

Zzz Shell -- Quiet Emerald Isle beach cottage
We had 8 adults in this space. It was perfect for us all. Everyone agreed that it couldn't have been better for 8 adults. Even our evenings at home the living area held us well.

Cozy 3BR Cottage |Fishing|Private Dock|Boating
Coastal Cottage is located in a beautiful area and close to Beaufort, Morehead City and surrounding cities. The cottage was beautifully decorated and it was very comfortable for our weekend trip. Definitely recommend this area and Coastal Cottage. Wish we could have stayed a little big longer. Kim was very responsive and helpful! Thank you for your hospitality!

NEW 3 bedroom cottage steps from the Pamlico
Richard’s place is great! Very clean and felt brand new. this house was perfect for our group.

Mermaid Lookout Cottage
wonderful place for a getaway. peaceful area, super neat and clean. Denise had everything in place that we would need and lots of little extras from phone chargers, movies, books and games, toothbrushes, shampoo,etc. We felt very welcomed and at home. Hope to come back for a longer visit in the future.

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.

"Once Upon A Tide" Waterfront cottage
Our stay was Great! Cathy was so easy to deal with and very responsive to all inquiries! We would definitely stay at Cathy's place again!
