Coastal Cabana - 1 Block to beach with sound view
Grant and Laura’s Coastal Cabana was the best Airbnb for a little getaway for Easter. The place was so cute, clean, and close to the boardwalk and the beach! The kitchen was the perfect size to cook an Easter meal and it will be an Easter for us all to remember. Grant and Laura were super responsive and very accommodating, I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in Carolina Beach! Thank you Grant and Laura!

6/28-7/5 DEAL! 4BR Oceanfront Beach Home Gorgeous!
We enjoyed our week at Emma’s Dream! It was a beautiful home and description was accurate. There was lots of room, beautiful views and relaxing decks to spend time together. The beach was quiet and house is conveniently located near the pier and restaurants. We would definitely rent this home again.

Beachfront cottage with views from every room!
My family and I went down for spring break. The home was right on the beach and had a very convenient walking path to the beach. Upon arrival, the house was clean and clutter-free. We didn't need anything. The host was highly responsive and accommodating when I reached out with questions. Book this place! It is a very deal and worth the peace it brings when you're sitting on the porch drinking your morning coffee!

Channel Six
Walt’s place is awesome! The home is gorgeous and the location is ideal. Perfect spot for anyone who wants to be close to local bars and restaurants. We enjoyed the amenities and the close proximity to the beach. Would love to stay here again in the future.

Steps to the Beach: Weekly Discounts
This cottage was the perfect spot for a long weekend over Easter. We only had 4 people and 2 dogs, so plenty of space for our crew. The location is awesome. It’s only steps from the beach making it easy to go back and forth as needed without any hassle. The added bonus was all beach chairs and towels were included helping to greatly lighten the packing load. The house was super clean, greatly stocked, and organized. This was a big plus! Lindsey and Billy were super with communication, friendly during our stay, and allowed some flexibility with check in/out. With a child at UNCW, I feel certain we’ll be back. Thanks for everything!

Point Break Historic Beach Cottage
Loved our stay! Was able to check in early and was in a great location! We will stay there every time we visit.

5 BR best ocean views from all decks
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this Airbnb . The location is unbeatable - just a short walk to the beach. What truly set this stay apart was the attention to detail from the host. It was the perfect place for a relaxing and memorable vacation!

Boardwalk Beauty - 3 Blocks to Beach - Hot Tub
My friend and I took a mother’s & daughters trip with our daughters and it did not disappoint! We would stay here again :) super cute place and the beds were comfy!!
Beach house rentals with a pool

Shake it Off
My family and I had the pleasure of staying at Erin’s Home for Labor Day weekend. We were there to celebrate my birthday as well as time as a family. The home was well prepared for our stay and the necessities needed were all available. It’s such a beautiful home and having access to a pool on the premises was an added plus. The homeowners also provided us a list with information to any questions we may have needed answered which was a nice touch. I recommend anyone interested in renting a home to spend with family or friends, to consider a stay here. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you again to Erin for making us feel welcome at your home. 💛

Beautiful home ! My family and I truly enjoyed our stay! Great location with a short walk to the beach! Brook is an awesome host!

5 o’clock Always
This was an excellent rental experience. The house is even better than the photos and our family had a lovely vacation. The pool and the backyard is very private and relaxing. We also rented the golf cart which was a highlight of the trip!

Making Waves-Scenic Getaway- Heated Pool & Hot Tub
Exceeded our expectations! This home was indeed a "home away from home", that provided everything needed for our stay. The host thought of everything. The beautiful home was supplied with all essentials for a wonderful getaway. The pool and hot tub was an added bonus. The neighbors were so friendly and personable. Having the beach within walking distance was the cherry on top. I appreciate Jessica being available when needed. We will definitely be back!

Updated Luxury, Family Friendly - Dock, 2 Clubs
Five Stars All the Way! We had the most incredible stay at Vaycash on Bald Head Island! From the moment we walked in, it felt less like a rental and more like staying at a dear friend’s beautiful home. Stef has thought of everything—the home is gorgeously decorated, full of charm, and stocked with more amenities than any place we've ever stayed. This was hands-down the most above-and-beyond experience we’ve ever had with an Airbnb. Every detail was thoughtfully done—from the fully equipped kitchen (a dream to cook in!) to the peaceful, tucked-away location in the woods that gave us the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. The golf cart made exploring the island a breeze, and the kids were thrilled with the bikes and kayaks. Stef’s generosity and attention to detail made this getaway truly special—we didn’t want to leave! We can’t recommend Vaycash highly enough and are already dreaming about our next visit.

Sip&Dip*Saltwater Pool*PeacefulPrivacy
We really enjoyed our stay! Dana was extremely responsive and the house was so great, especially the pool. It was also wonderful to have access to the beach gear and bikes. The walk to the beach was a little bit far for our younger kiddos, but there was lots of paid parking available. Highly recommend!

Coastal Hideaway ~ 1/2 Mi to Beach + Boardwalk!
We had the opportunity to stay at the Koi house during Spring break. It was a very comfortable stay. My toddlers loved it did we (mom and dad). We loved that our pet had a large space to roam around in the backyard. I recommend the Koi house and I would go back. My three year old mentions still that he wants to go back to the “Koi House”. We loved house pretty and peaceful it was.

Beachhouse-Private Dock & Boatslip
We stayed at Ric and Chelsea’s place for a week and everything was great! House was wonderful and exactly what our family needed. Lots of things to do at the house and in a very walkable location. Ric was very communicative. All around great stay.

House on the Marsh, two minute walk to the beach!
We had a great time! The Oakland marathon was a blast. Elisabeth’s place was easy to access and perfect for what we needed. The kids loved the bunk room. It was walkable to the beach, clean and the perfect amount of space, we slept well & had what we needed for a comfortable stay. Grateful for the wagon beneath the house to use back and forth to the ocean & the lego’s were a huge hit. Thank you!!

Coastal Comfort | Perfect for Groups | Games+Deck
My son and his family were visiting from Florida and they loved the house. The house was reasonably priced and it was in a great location close to other family. The inside of the house was beautiful. It was very cozy, spacious and clean. We loved that the house had games for the kids. My grandsons especially loved the air hockey table. Justin was an amazing host and when my family visits again, I would definitely like to rent this house for them again if it is available.

Luxury CB Rental with Bunkroom - Steps from Beach
The home is even better in person - so beautiful and cozy. We love the minimalist decor and high quality furnishings. The sound machines in the rooms are a nice bonus. It was easy to feel at home in this lovely space. Thanks for having us!

Super Contemporary Beach House for family fun!
We had a little family reunion here and the house accommodated us perfectly. There were plenty of beds, living space and things to do for all the ages. The kitchen and outside grill had everything we needed. We only went out to eat once! There was everything you could possibly need for the beach or inlets! It was the perfect vacation home!

Beach Music
We had a wonderful stay in bald head island! The home was well stocked and clean. The beds were very comfortable and bathrooms spacious. The owner even allowed our groceries to be delivered prior to our arrival. We would love to stay again!
