Family-friendly vacation rentals in Surf City

Very nice place to stay! Would def stay again. Private and perfectly located in safe neighborhood.

Karl was a great host, always very responsive. The place was nice. Went during off season, so it was nice and quiet. Barely ran into other people staying in the homes or at the pool/gym. Great location, can sit on the deck and listen to the waves.

The kids and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Very conveniently located, with lots of restaurants and eateries around. Ideal location with TONS to do!

We enjoyed our stay and a short walk to the beach. Nice location. Would come back. Thank you Karl 😊

From check in to departure, our experience was Great! I would definitely work with Bryant Real again!

I had an amazing stay at this beach rental house! The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day of fun in the sun. The house was spotless and well-maintained, which made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The host was exceptionally responsive and made sure we had everything we needed, from check-in to check-out. We appreciated the thoughtful initial items provided, which made settling in so easy. The location couldn't have been better—just a short walk to the beach and close to great restaurants, making it so convenient to enjoy everything the area has to offer. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic beach getaway!

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.

My husband and I and our dog had a great stay at Susan’s place! Everything felt very clean, comfortable, and private! The best part of this place is the location to the beach and the beautiful live oak trees surrounding the place! The place is also very close to Southport, so we were able to shop a little and see some of the filming locations of Safe Haven during our visit. Susan was also very responsive whenever we had any questions! I would recommend staying here!

Great location, and a great time. Backyard with pool is perfect with plenty of room for activities and entertaining. You can walk to the beach and restaurants within minutes.

We loved our week at Blue Turtle Cottage! It’s bright, clean and charming. Just a short walk to the beach. Leslie and Kay were lovely hosts. We’d definitely come back if our plans bring us to OKI. The king bed is super comfy!. Thanks for hosting us! 💙🐢

We stayed 2 nights. We arrived early and Katherine allowed us to check in early. Parking is available in front, but the street was very busy and Katherine made accommodations to park off street. Katherine made us aware of a parade the next day on the night before we left, which prompted us to leave earlier and miss the traffic. EXCELLENT host!

This is a fantastic place to stay. The location is phenomenal - close to the beach and walking distance from breweries, restaurants, etc.! The hosts were accommodating and very hospitable. Highly recommend. We will absolutely be back!

Great place to stay just a few steps to the beach. Place was clean and had several supplies for us to use in the kitchen and bathrooms.

We hated to leave this peaceful little cabin! The cabin is just as described - we loved the decor, our outdoor space, and being able to disconnect and enjoy our time together. The location is perfect to explore the area with great restaurants only minutes away.

Amazing hosts! Andres and Emily are extremely responsive and give great instructions. Kitchen was well equipped for our breakfast on the patio desires.

Very clean. Great for kids and family time. Lots of amenities but very close neighbors. Although they were to themselves and hardly seen or heard them.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Marooned Five as a family of five and we all love it! Our 2 younger kids love the loft and my older kid loves the second bedroom to himself. It’s not easy finding room for everyone when we travel but we don’t have to worry about it when we stay at David and Kris’ place. The two golf carts give us flexibility to split up and we also love riding bikes on the island. Marooned Five comes with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. We have stayed here during the off season and prefer it but will also be back during the summer season. Some of our favorites to do here: climb Old Baldy, eat at Jules and Jailhouse, beach days, have a date sans kids at Bald Head Bottle, visit Turtle Central and complete their scavenger hunt around the island. We went to Sunday service at the Chapel and had breakfast afterwards at The Boathouse. We shopped at the Maritime shops and scheduled a guided kayak tour (that was canceled due to rain). But we’ll be back!

The location was amazing. The beach was not too far and plenty of things to do.

We were very impressed with the condo! Clean and updated! Beach was steps away! We really liked decor and homey feel of everything! Felt more like walking into your home than anything! Highly recommend! Lauren is extremely fast to respond and always had the best and most helpful answers! Do not hesitate! You must go!!!!

Such a wonderful place for me and my family to stay. So clean and well kept. So many wonderful places to walk to and things to do for the whole family. 100% plan on booking this place again!

Great location, between the marina & across the street from the ocean. Within walking distance to restaurants & the boardwalk. I thought the place was a little small for the $425/night cost (after all of the fees were calculated), but it worked out just fine for our short stay. Host accommodated us rescheduling due to the hurricane, so I was definitely happy about that!

Beautiful place, excellent location!!!
