Totally Beaching - Unit #2

LeAnnRating, 5 stars3 days ago
This was a great experience from the first attempt to book at the last minute. Ervisa was quick to respond so we could relax and know we had a place to stay that night. We had stayed at several places during our vacation and this was by far the nicest and SUPER clean. They were again very accommodating when we wanted to add on a night. I only wish we had more time to actually hang out and enjoy the place.

Breezy Oasis - Pool-Jacuzzi-Walk to Beach-Snowbird

DejaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This unit was worth every penny to stay there. It was very big and spacious, had a fantastic view, nice screened in balcony and was a very short walk from the beach. Everyone in the neighborhood was friendly and very welcoming for both myself and my fur baby. I can't say anything bad about the place and am already making arrangements to return in the future.

Cape Fear Landing 1

AmeliaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Stayed in this AirBNB for my wedding weekend last week and can’t say enough wonderful things about it! The views were just absolutely breathtaking and being able to see the sunrise from the comfort of our room each morning was so priceless. Our wedding day photographer kept raving about how much of a dream the BNB was to shoot for behind the scenes footage throughout the wedding morning - truly the views are unmatched! The BNB had everything we needed including shower products, plenty of towels, extra blankets, and kitchen supplies. Pam was so easy to communicate with and made our stay so seamless. You really just can’t beat the location or the views, so don’t hesitate when booking!

FREEDOM! 100 yds to the Beach with lake view too!

AndreaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
The house was in a perfect location, easy access to beach. Loved the open floor plan and kitchen was beautiful and had everything we needed. Sherri was a great host and very accommodating. Just to be aware it has a significant amount of front steps to get in the unit so might not be great for elderly or anyone who has trouble going up and down stairs but we had no complaints

The Mazelle Porch at Gause Landing

AllanRating, 5 stars9 months ago
Amazing place to stay! Celebrated my wife’s 40th birthday with family that came in to town from Arizona. The house comfortably fit 4 families and had the most beautiful view!! Plenty of space and was close to stores and restaurants. It is at the end of a very peaceful street and felt safe and secure. Highly recommend!!

Waterfront Home with Gorgeous View of Canal.

LindsayRating, 5 stars10 months ago
We have been traveling to NMB for 14 years and have rented quite a few different houses in Cherry Grove, and this one ranks among the best we've had so far. Hosts are super friendly and welcoming, the house itself is fantastic, and if you like to fish from the dock out back, this was great. My husband was catching flounder, croakers, black drum, and even landed a stingray (all released). The view from the kitchen is just incredible, my very favorite of them all! Beds and linens are very comfortable, lots of comfy seating and TV's throughout. Hats off to the cleaning service because the place was absolutely immaculate when we arrived. Most importantly - it is obvious that this house is very much loved and enjoyed by its owners and we are so thankful that they shared it with us. Truly felt like a welcomed guest in someone's home rather than a customer. If they continue to rent it out, and if our schedules line up, we'd love to be back again. Thank you for a memorable vacation stay!

Pa's Place with Boat Dock - Oak Island, NC

DavidRating, 5 stars7 months ago
We loved our stay at Beverly’s place. We are a fishing and kayaking family, so the dock right on the sound was our ticket to adventure. We also loved the roomy Great Room with great views of the water. Everyone in the family said thay would go back to this place!

Intracoastal Waterway Cottage Boat Dock Fishing

YiaRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Great place to stay and relax. Picked a place on the intercostal water to crab but only caught a few. Maybe August was too late. I liked how she had a lot of towels and labeled where things went in the kitchen. Plenty of stuff such as paper towel, trash bags, dish washer pods, and laundry pods, etc. I’ve rented places before where we had to go buy trash bags and other stuff for the stay.

A Wave from it All

AllisonRating, 5 stars9 months ago
A Wave From It All was a perfect vacation. The views and house are pristine, peaceful, and clean. The accommodations perfectly housed 8 of us. The screened in Carolina Room offered plenty of seating and beautiful views. The beds and linens were super comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked with pots, pans and spices for cooking and beautiful dinnerware for entertaining. We loved the decor…it was kind of unique romantic-gothic-coastal-Victorian (I know a mouthful but if you see it you get it). It looked as though the owners had made it a hobby to collect beautiful original pieces of art. The house has a dock that we utilized for fishing, crabbing, floating, and kayaking. Under the house there are two kayaks, a paddle board, floats, chairs, skim boards and boogie boards. You can walk, bike, or golf cart anywhere. The hosts were by far the kindest and most thoughtful we have ever experienced. They offered excellent restaurant recommendations. 10/10 recommend!!! The island is beautiful.

Beach vacation condo at Ft Fisher! Riggings

DevendraRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Besides his condo being on the ocean front, with a partial view to the ocean from the living room, kitchen and outside porch, being squeaky clean and nicely decorated, Chad deserves the highest remark for being an outstanding host. He called us, while we were on our way, to let us know that the condo was ready to check-in half an hour before the check-in time and arranged an ironing board and iron we needed to iron our clothes for attending a wedding. I wish I could give him more than five star rating as a host. My impression about the condo as well as the host aligns with all the reviewers who rated as being five star facility at Kure Beach.

An expansive view of the ocean is visible from the top floor balcony. Soft waves gently lap against the sandy shore, where a few people can be seen enjoying the beach. Lush dunes and grass lead toward the water's edge, creating a serene coastal landscape.

Spectacular Oceanfront getaway

BrittanyRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Absolutely wonderful vacation at Linda’s place. It’s in a great location. Private area yet close to anything that you want to do activity or restaurant wise. The condo is stocked with anything and everything you could possibly need on vacation at the beach. I have 2 toddler boys. We brought some things, that were already there for guest use. We will definitely stay again!

Direct Oceanfront Penthouse Corner Condo w/ Pool

TraciRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
This place is beautiful, quiet, not busy (at least in early April), beach is clean, friendly neighborhood-if we return to this area we will try to obtain the same condo. Rebecca our host went so far above and beyond what was expected-when I arrived at the wrong place, when I asked about early check-in, and when I drove off with their parking pass. We have rented Airbnbs many times all over the US and Central America, and I can tell you Rebecca is by far the best host we have ever had. Her immediate response to some of my questions was priceless.

Fully Renovated Beautiful Oceanfront 2 BR Condo

JessicaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
My friend and I had a great stay in this condo! It's exactly like the pictures and was very peaceful. It's pretty close to the Boardwalk and other restaurants, but not too close to be in all of the congestion and hustle and bustle of CB. Stephen was wonderful and very responsive. I would recommend this place to everyone and would stay here again!
