"Sea-rinity" Oceanfront retreat

CatherineRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This was thought to be ideal for our stay of six which included four kids ranging 6-16 yrs old...This place exceeded our expectations! Cozy, neat, clean, spacious, loved the gold accents, a balcony w/ beach view and located close to the indoor pool & hot tub for the cooler weather we had. My teenagers enjoy playing outdoor basketball, we all enjoyed the pool and hot tub & walks on beach. Has a lot to offer to keep kids entertained. This is a gated community w/ an active HOA -was a good experience- friendly & helpful with my questions. I did have to reach out to our host first night regarding extra sheets for the trundle bed -they answered quickly and we had the sheets inhand before bed -amazing response and resolution timing. The only thing that could have made this stay better was if there wasn't active construction on and around the buildings and other community buildings BUT that did not stop us from enjoying our stay! We will book again next year.

Mermaids Last Resort

TylerRating, 5 stars4 months ago

Our stay here was wonderful! We were within walking distance to the best parts of downtown Morehead City! Elizabeth was extremely accommodating, allowing for us to have both an early check in and a late check out. We had some trouble with the door lock but Elizabeth was able to rectify it very quickly! We would love to stay here again!

Water View/Access Retreat Minutes From N Topsail

ShannonRating, 5 stars7 months ago

We are so very thankful to have been at Jenn and Ian’s home during our military move and house hunting. We experienced no less than absolute kindness and consideration, and all aspects of our stay were such a respite! We have a large family and pets, and each of us was not only comfortable and easily accommodated in the house layout, but also found plenty to do to occupy our downtime. The kitchen was well stocked, everyday supplies were readily available in ample provisions, and communication with the hosts was seamless and always a pleasure. We would not only highly recommend this home to other guests; we would be more than happy to stay again!

Carolyn's Lighthouse a Bright Spot on the Horizon

MichaelRating, 5 stars8 months ago

Our stay at Carolyn’s Lighthouse was exceptional from start to finish! The accommodations were top-notch, blending comfort and style seamlessly. The highlight was definitely the hot tub and outdoor movie theater—both were perfect for relaxing evenings after a day of exploration. We especially appreciated the host's, Richard’s, friendliness and attentiveness, making us feel right at home. The quick trip to the nearby beach was a hit with everyone, offering a refreshing and fun escape. Overall, this stay exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommend!

Anchors Aweigh Topsail - Oceanfront Condo w/pool

SopheapRating, 5 stars8 months ago

We had a wonderful time!(family of 4- 2 girls ages 5 and 8). There wasnt anything that wasnt set already if you might have forgotten something, there might be a spare there. Very thoughtful. The place was set nice and the girls loved the bunk beds! They turned it in to a fort and had a blast! Jana was a great host and was quick to respond with any concerns and questions we had. Thank you for everything. We hope to return again.

Ole Pro’s Sound Side Haven

CrystalRating, 5 stars5 months ago

This place was everything we were looking for in a long weekend getaway. It is clean, cute, comfy and is located on a quiet street yet close to restaurants, historic area and local beaches. The water view from the deck was perfect for enjoying our morning coffee and the sunsets were stunning. Our fur baby enjoyed the gated deck. The hosts are friendly & attentive but not intrusive. We are definitely going back.

Over the Rain-Beau in Beau Coast Historic Beaufort

JamieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Susie’s house had everything we needed for our visit to Beaufort. It was close to restaurants and shopping and near the Beaufort Hotel where our daughter was getting married. The kitchen was well stocked, the bathrooms had everything we needed including items like shampoo, body wash, and paper towels that are not typically included in a rental. The bikes and games in the garage were an unexpected touch! We look forward to coming back for another visit!

2 Good 2 Be True golf cart paddle board kayaks

JillRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

The house was clean and spacious and the views were calming. The living room was really a place for gathering friends and watching the final four on the lovely sectional couch and giant loveseat chair. We ate our dinner around the dining table with plenty of room. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of room in each bedroom for our belongings. We walked to the beach and took the golf cart to the beach as well. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. The only downside was there was not enough seats on the outside decks where we spent most of our time. There were only two chairs and a love seat. We would stay again!
