Oceanfront 2bed/bath Penthouse with large balcony
I absolutely enjoyed my stay at Shirley’s place. I will most definitely look to stay again when visiting the area. As a host, she was top tier. Proactive, quick response, descriptive and so very wonderfully hospitable. Her place really felt like a home away from home. Not once did I feel I missed any creature comfort, not once at all. From cooking utensils, to streaming services during the evening and so many others. If you ever see this place available, I encourage you to book it as quick as you can. For what you pay, you receive so much in return and no worries in the least. Again, Thank you Shirley! I only hope that when I’m visiting again your accommodation is available. -Omar.

Kooks Kabana - Water Front
Perfect for an anniversary trip! Truly beautiful to wake up and have a cup of coffee on the canal… take advantage of the kayaks and bikes!! It’ll elevate your time here immensely. If you’ve got the time, Seabrisa’s and hurricane juel’s (a 10 minute ride away and right next to each other in little river) did not disappoint. If you go to hurricane get a side of hush puppies…. It’ll change your life! An easy walk to the beach or a quick drive to nearby pay to park areas if you’ve got supplies to tote! This spot also is conveniently close to many good mini golf courses if you’re feeling competitive! A truly special gem to find. One of our favorite spots we’ve been on our east coast beach travels!

Waterfront Studio Apartment
Let me start by saying the home is located in the heart of Jacksonville NC. The view is truly amazing! I felt safe, relax and at home. The home is equipped with everything that I needed. Melinda is a gem, she reached out with me a few times during my stay to make sure that I’m ok and have everything that I needed and also informed me the day she spotted dolphins were passing by. Love this place. Thank you Melinda for sharing your beautiful place.

Stunning Sunsets, Walkable Condo, Covered Parking
Great place and right in the heart of everything. We wish we planned more time, the place had beautiful sunsets.

Totally Beaching - Unit #2
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.

By The Sea: Waterfront! Million Dollar View!
Gail/Jerry are wonderful host. We stay with them a few times a year.

Riverfront sunset balcony + free covered parking
Audrey gave perfect instructions regarding how to find the unit, and getting in was extremely easy. We loved the peace and quiet around us and the walkability to several great restaurants. It was the perfect getaway for the two of us for a couple of days. The space had everything that we needed and was very comfortable and very clean.

Lil' Dock/Riverfront apt./Late Sunday checkout!
We had a wonderful and much needed get away - Exploring New Bern was great - so convenient and we really appreciated how peaceful Lil'dock was. More spacious that the photos showed and so clean and neat! Enjoyed sitting on the back porch and seeing the sunset.
Waterfront house rentals

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.

The Grey Goose (Waterfront) Historic New Bern - Private Beach - BRING YOUR BOAT!
Beautiful area with amazing view to wake up to every morning! Would definitely be going back. Glad I found this place.

Canal Front Gem!
My family of 6 and pup enjoyed our stay so much. The location was perfect for some kayaking and fishing on the waterway, and just a few minutes walk to the public beach access. The house had everything that we needed including a dog crate which was so convenient to not have to pack one. The kitchen was furnished with some extra cooking items that came in handy since we had forgotten a few things. There was plenty of extra blankets and towels and games for the kids. Overall, the house literally had everything that was needed with so many places to relax including hanging hammock swings, lots of deck furniture, a wrap around porch with beautiful views, spacious dock, swinging bench, and a large living room with big windows. We highly recommend this property!!

We had a great stay! Would recommend to anyone visiting Myrtle beach.

Beautiful waterfront home with private ramp/lifts
We always enjoy staying on this area. The view from the house was spectacular! We would definitely recommend staying here.

The Regency
Beautiful houseboat exactly like in the pictures. Being the end unit, it has the best view of the river and Battleship North Carolina. It also has better privacy and access convenience to the community picnic area. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Everything was perfect!

Oceanview - Waterfront w/ private dock
We really enjoyed our stay. All questions were answered in a timely manner. House was great. Really enjoyed the deck space. We also rented a golf cart and pick up and drop off were super simple.

The Dock House| Golf cart| Kayaks|Walk to Beach
Peaceful, quiet and relaxing!! If you are looking for a spotless Airbnb on the water, look no further than Maria’s dock house! This home is so beautiful! We spent so much of our time relaxing outside on the covered porch with the dogs. Views are 10/10. Sunsets from the porch are gorgeous. Easy and short walk to the beach. Quiet street and easy access to all of Cherry Grove Beach. Shopping center with Publix, TJ maxx, Chipotle, etc only quick 10 mins away. This home is fully stocked with everything you may need. Awesome tvs!! Tons of options for exploring the outdoors - kayaking, paddle board, golf cart rental, beach gear, games, grill, crabbing and fishing gear, you name it! We really enjoyed having all of our meals together at the outdoor dining table, kayaking, going crabbing and just watching the wildlife from the dock! Maria is very helpful, accommodating and responsive with any questions, needs, etc. We hope to visit again!

Marlin Quay - Beach, Inlet, and Marina Views
Very happy with our stay here! Beach is such an easy walk with access directly across the street. Pretty sunset views over marina. The restaurant at the marina next door is also very tasty! The beach was lovely and quiet during our stay. The condo is decorated well and has a nice layout. Our family of 5 was comfortable throughout the stay. Highly recommend!

Great weekend getaway. Close to all of the shops and restaurants. Parking was a huge plus, felt comfortable leaving my car parked in the garage all weekend.

we have visited our daughter at ccu often, and this condo was really nice. the view of the river was very nice from the balcony and especially loved seeing the pirate ship go by. the kitchen had everything you needed and loved the provided snacks and water. the place was decorated really cute and the hosts responded very quickly. would definitely recommend this rental.

Top Floor, Just Steps to Ocean 2B,2B Great Views
An absolute gem of a place. Location is perfect. 20min to broadway 30min to barefoot. Steps from the beach. Pools, hot tubs, gyms etc. Wal-Mart directly across the street from the entrance of the resort. The unit itself was absolutely beautiful and same goes for the view. Unit was super clean and even provided beach chairs, beach toys and a boogie board for the kids. My wife and daughters had an amazing time. The two bedroom two bath set up definitely helps having kids with you. Can’t say enough good things about our stay. We’ll definitely be back.

Panoramic River view Downtown Condo w/Balcony
Great stay on the Cape Fear riverfront in Wilmington. Mike's condo was as described on airbnb, extremely clean, easy check in, etc. Great location - central to the historic downtown, and walkable to everything. Mike communicated everything from check-in to check-out clearly and attentively. Highly recommend, and would stay here again on my next trip to Wilmington NC.
