Beachfront vacation rentals in Appalachian Mountains

The location was great for what we needed. One mile away from Topsail Manor where my son was getting married. Easy access and close to the beach. Beach was very clean. House was also clean except for sand on the floors and in the sheets. House also had a lot of needed necessities. I would stay here again.

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!

Perfect little place, for my solo shelling trip. The location could not be any better, when I’m not on the beach, I am on the porch taking in the ocean views. This was my second stay at this lovely cottage, and I have already booked my next stay.

Place was very nice and though we did not need anything, Cindy reached out multiple times to make sure all was well. Seven men on a golf trip and my son’s birthday. Plenty of space and pool was really nice after golfing in the morning and afternoons. Kitchen table was big and had plenty of room for meals and cards at night. Home was as advertised. Plenty of room for all of us. Short ride to many golf courses and Muriel’s Inlet for the restaurants. Would definitely stay there again.

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!!

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!!

Excellent location; could not get any closer to the beach! Well stocked kitchen, relaxing living room with great views. Sound of pounding surf and pelicans flying overhead was a memorable OBX experience! Will be back; Thankyou Andrew!

We had a wonderful and pleasant stay! The host was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. The place was clean, comfortable, and welcoming. We’re already planning to come back again. Highly recommend!

Lisa’s place was the perfect beach getaway for our family. We loved being able to walk to the beach easily, sit out on the patio, eat meals in. She had everything we needed to make our trip seamless.

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.

Although we stayed at a home that we did not select (due to homeowner emergency) we were provided a home with identical amenities. Nicole was very responsive and her property was well taken care of. The location was awesome! Just a few minutes walk to the beach. She provided lots of recommendations and the house was more than adequately stocked. Each bedroom offered extra linens, extra bath towels and more than enough kitchenware. Will definitely stay at one of Nicole’s properties again!

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!

Awesome place! The pictures don’t do it justice, the view is beautiful. Elaine and Peter were great hosts. This place was fully stocked, towels, linens, ziplock bags, paper towel, utensils, cooking stuff, you name it. Lots to do too, the beach is right there and they had paddle boards and kayaks to use. We travelled with two young kids and Elaine went above and beyond setting up the pack and play and high chair for us before we arrived. 10/10 would recommend!

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!!!

Third year we’ve stayed there. Very well equipped unit. New sofa this year. The screened in porch overlooking the beach is a big attraction for us. You’re on the beach, so access isn’t an issue. Not one of the busier sections of the beach, but it’s a short walk to the areas with shops. An always accessible parking space, and an elevator to the upper floors is a plus.

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!

Our stay here was phenomenal!! Nhiza was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. The house is right beside a public beach access so we were able to walk to the water very easily. It was also well stocked with dishes and towels for us to use. I would definitely stay here again!!

Erin's beach house was a piece of paradise!! Erin was responsive! My kids loved the beach and relaxing in the sunroom! We enjoyed our stay and would love to come back in the warmer months!!
