Best Location On The Island! Amazing Ocean Views!

MariRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Kristen was such an amazing host! She communicated very well before and after to make sure I wasn’t confused. The airbnb was warm, welcoming and comfortable! Had everything we possibly needed. The attention to detail is spectacular. It was a relief when I realized what I had forgotten back at home was already in place here! We loved this Airbnb because of the amazing view. Seriously breathtaking. I was looking to take a day trip to decompress and clear my head, mission accomplished- my partner and I felt more connected afterwards. The location is perfect. It was relaxing being able to have restaurants and activities within walking distance. Not having to worry about parking, traffic or getting to point A or point B really allowed us to enjoy the trip.

New Listing - Home with Pool 2 min walk to Beach!

MilesRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This is a wonderful little beach house. We stayed during the off season so we didn’t get to enjoy the pool. That being said, the house offers loads of things for the family to do from board games to billiards and foosball. Al was also about the most responsible and helpful host I’ve ever had on here. It also features a kitchen that’s stocked well enough for you to cook at the house. Overall this was a great find for our off season visit.

Coastal Escapes Luxury 3 bdrm Oceanfront Condo

BillRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The weather did not cooperate and we had a 5 star time anyway. That says something for a family that really appreciates quality and cleanliness. The view was stunning, the condo was well appointed and very clean. My back did not like the enveloping of the memory foam mattress, but that is a personal preference and not a knock. Debi was very accommodating, responsive, and a wonderful host. We could not have asked for more. If we ever return to the area, we will stay here again!

Charming Family Friendly Beach Home With Golf Cart

LoriRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Cute little house n a quiet area but close to everything. Our family of 4 stayed in the main area and the 2nd floor was perfect for another couple and their toddler. We hosted thanksgiving and it was great to have the back deck and yard to spread out into. The house was well equipped and we would look to stay here again in the summer season!

* Barefoot Havens Paradise*

TanikaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
First off I want to say the photos are nothing like in person. It was a beautiful condo and I mean gorgeous. Very spacious for everyone to have their own space while vacationing. It was nice and clean. My son and I left the family games but thank God Christina had a supply of games. Christina was very nice and easy to work with. We also loved that the resort had a plaza for us to get some groceries and necessities. This was so convenient and helped me avoid all the traffic on the main road. I really enjoyed my stay and I will be back when I return to the beach.

The Fish Away!

EmmaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
The Fish Away is such a beautiful, peaceful oasis. The home was very clean, in a good location, the host was responsive and even let us check in early that fit our schedule better! It is on a good size lot for the lake so there is plenty of room outside. They have a beautiful back porch and pier where you can look out at the lake. Would definitely recommend! And would love to visit again!!

Captain’s Watch Home

GabrielleRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We are so happy that we stayed at the Rivers! Everyone young and old had a great time. The estate is so private and beautiful we could not believe it. The home is amazing and well stocked. We enjoyed the sun rises and sunsets so much. We had kayaks delivered and explored the area and it was something dreams are made of in a fairytale. The elevator allowed us to comfortably enjoy this home with older members of our family with ease. The nature and bird wildlife is just incredible. from the Anhingas swimming in the Cape Fear River and the Kingfisher flying back and forth over the pond to the plentiful Bluebirds we constantly entertained. We can’t wait to visit again and transport to serenity. Thank you for a vacation that will always be remembered ❤️

Family friendly & great location

AnthonyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This was a true home away from home! From the moment we arrived until our departure, my family and I felt at home. The only difference between our own home and this one was the address. The location was even better, nestled in a peaceful neighborhood where the residents welcomed and treated us as neighbors. The interior of the home was impeccable, with everything in its place. I would highly recommend this location to anyone seeking a home away from home.

Beautiful cottage a short stroll to the ocean

MichaelRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We had a wonderful visit to Carolina Beach. The house was spacious, beautiful and immaculate. We strolled the few blocks to the beach daily. The owners graciously helped us locate a tire repair shop as we had a flat tire shortly before arriving. The area was inundated with 20” of rain several days before we arrived. It was shocking how quickly the businesses recovered.

Our stay was great. The unit was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The area was quiet and close to places we wanted to visit. An easy drive to Southport or down into the southern end of Oak Island, an easy walk to the beach and across from Oak Island Golf Club. Watching the sunset from the porch was amazing! Amber was easy to work with and quickly responded to our questions. Thanks, we'll be back!

What can I say about Giselle and her beautiful home. She was amazing. I booked her place for my two uncles and she treated them like family. Her place was better than pictured. Giselle was very quick to respond to any of my messages. Her home was clean and welcoming, very well stocked and she even provided snacks. Going forward when I have family in town I will book with Giselle.
