Beachfront vacation rentals in Harbor Island

There is only 1000 character limit, so I will try my best to wrap this review up. If I could give this place a million stars I absolutely would! The location was absolutely amazing, being able to walk to the beach in less than a minute alone gives this place 5 stars. The host was incredible and responded to our questions in a minute or less! The beds were fantastic, the water was nice and hot! The kitchen was incredible! I absolutely loved how the entire bottom was fenced in, our dogs got to run around have freedom! Everything we could possible need was already provided( I had brought a few things for the kitchen to use and turns out I didn’t even have too) the house was very clean, board games were provided also! I would strongly recommend this to any of my friends/family and we will definitely be coming back to stay here. If you’re considering an air bnb right on the beach, look NO FURTHER, this place is it!! Top tier! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

The place was as described, a great deal and right in the ocean's edge. Amanda's responded quickly when we reached out with a question.

We always love staying here. The condo is so warm and cozy. Rob is a fantastic host. The views are amazing and the location perfect. We can’t wait to return yet again.

This place was perfect for my wife and our dogs! Beachfront location is amazing! Updated, beautiful & fully stocked kitchen was helpful. Host was extremely responsive, very timely and answered all our questions. We will definitely look into staying here again!

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

We couldn't ask for a better place to stay. The fenced in yard under the house was a great place to drop off our beach gear at the end of the day. The view of the ocean was incredible and everyone had an amazing time. 5 Stars for the Millers.

We love this beach cottage! It is right on the beach but also offers a private, shady porch to watch the surf if you've had enough sun. A grill, outdoor shower and hammocks complete the beachy vibe. We have stayed at the cottage three times over five years and hope to go back.

Perfect little beach getaway! Walking distance to the beach, bars, and restaurants. Really enjoyed this cute little surf shack!

This was a very last minute trip without much planning & Kellie & Russ were great to work with! Very responsive! Made sure we got into their condo without any issues.. suggested some local eateries.. but ultimately, their place is just steps away from the sand of the beach.. very quiet complex & that’s exactly what we were looking for! CB is just a couple minutes away if you’re looking to get into more things, especially the end of May when the Boardwalk opens up fully, but this trip was just for peace and quiet & a mental reset with three of my kids & my daughter’s best friend. Fort Fisher was just a short walk away and we enjoyed going and learning about that era and walking the battlefield. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for laid back & relaxed! Completely equipped kitchen and linens was a bonus! Wish we could have stayed longer, but back to school and work tomorrow!

This was the perfect weekend stay for our small family! The condo was spacious, clean, and surprisingly toddler-friendly, which we really appreciated with a 2- and 4-year-old in tow. It’s just one block from the public beach access, and there were plenty of fun places to explore within a mile. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot for a relaxing family getaway!

This condo was exactly what we needed for our weekend getaway! The home was clean and in a perfect location. The only downfall was the guest bedroom that has the bunk beds, didn’t have a ceiling fan for our little one. Other than that, it was perfect and we loved staying here!

My husband and I just wanted to get away and relax, and it was also his birthday. We were blown away by the view, the sunrises were amazing! It was perfect for just the two of us! We walked to the boardwalk which was 1.7 miles, had lunch and walked down the beach back, but if you just want to hang out on the beach it’s a simple walk and you are there. The best part is the sound of the waves. There is nothing better than going to sleep to the sound of the waves. We spent our last night on the patio playing Yahtzee, (which was there in addition to other games) while we listened to the waves. We had so much fun playing, I hope we didn’t wake the neighbors! It was a very peaceful, relaxing trip.

I stayed at the townhouse for a couple of nights with my family, including a couple of kids. We had a great time, the place is in great shape, clean and in a perfect location (across the street from the beach, right next to a public beach access). The house was exactly as described in the listing, and was very kid friendly (e.g. pack and play and kids cups). We had a few questions during our stay, and Diane was super responsive. I don't really have much to complain about, and I'd definitely stay here again.

The host was extremely responsive. Loved the place. Everything in Surf City is super close. Had a great stay. Would rent again!

Beautiful place, excellent location!!!

We had a lovely stay at Jim’s place. It was exactly as described and pictured. I’d say even better. Jim has really thought of the little details, such as phone chargers, water in the fridge, and some beginning toiletries. The beach was fantastic and so close. Location is prime. Right in Surf city close to everything. Can’t wait to come back.

Loved staying at chads place close to the ferry and fort fisher. He recommend a place to eat and was a good recommendation. Very responsive.

We loved staying here! It was the perfect girls getaway! It was cozy and had plenty of space! If we could have stayed longer we would have. We were able to walk to a little park that was having a spring festival and the area itself was so quiet and peaceful. Amazing porch view too! Absolutely loved the home and would definitely stay again!

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!

Perfect beach cottage on Oak Island! It was incredibly well stocked and we wanted for nothing. The house is also adorably decorated, the linens and mattresses are very nice quality, the appliances are well kept and work as expected. The view from the front porch is heavenly and the outdoor furniture is ample and comfortable. We were also surprised to find swings beneath the house that the kids used all the time! Perfect area to hang out when getting ready for the beach or while taking a break. Outdoor shower on walkway and under the house have hot water! I honestly can’t say enough good things about this rental. We will book again and again!

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!!

Loved Dawn’s place! The view is absolutely breathtaking! That was my favorite part of walking in, going to sleep, and waking up. The view made me feel like “Okay now this is a vacation”! Dawn was so friendly and responsive! Ready to lend a hand if needed. Will definitely keep this on my list of favorites.

The place was great for our family of 6. Every person had a bath towel and one wash cloth. The decks were great to sit outside for the sunrise! The kitchen amenities aren’t specifically listed, but they are enough if you want to do a bit of cooking. Bring your own beach towels - 2 are provided. We loved how quiet this place was down on the sound end of the island. It is a clean and cute place! We’d definitely come here again, though we were a bit put off that there are three hosts listed and no one responded to the two messages with questions that we sent before and during our stay.

Had a great weekend at Sandi place. Great location with great views. Perfect for my family of 4.
