Cottage holiday rentals in Cape Fear River

Great little cottage on the lake. Make sure you're on the deck for the sunset!

This lake house was just perfect! From beginning to end, the stay was awesome. The house has everything you could possibly want or need. We looooved the outdoor space! Beautiful deck with lots of sitting room, lights, and fans. The hot tub was so awesome! Super nice fire pit area. A nice dock extending into deep lake water. We visited several local towns around the lake and were blown away with how friendly everyone was. We got all of our groceries at Perry’s Produce, a local produce stand; including meats and even butter and coffee creamer. We went to a vineyard nearby, and Morrow Mountain Stare Park for a beautiful hike with breathtaking views of the mountains. The area and the beautiful, cozy house with lots of amenities made this lake vacation one of the best we’ve had!

Staying at this Airbnb felt like a true escape. The location couldn't have been better – being mere steps from the beach was such a treat, allowing for spontaneous walks and the calming sound of the waves. It was wonderful to find such a genuinely dog-friendly place; my pups absolutely loved it, which made the stay even more enjoyable for me. The entire atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and I found the off-season to be a particularly lovely time to visit, with beautiful weather and a sense of peacefulness. The property itself had everything I could possibly need, making it easy to settle in and feel comfortable. Amy was fantastic – always communicative and helpful, ensuring a smooth and easy stay. While there were plenty of options for things to do in the area, I also appreciated the opportunity to simply unwind and work remotely in such a serene setting. The upper deck was my favorite spot for getting sun many hours of the day. I’ve stayed in many airbnbs and this is a favorite!

This place was perfect and so cute! We had everything we needed and the kids loved the hot tub! Kristy was very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely be back!

Tonya's place was spotless and looked even better than the pictures. You can tell she's very thoughtful of her guests & includes tons of little amenities in case you need it (toothbrush, razors, makeup wipes etc). Hot tub was clean and warmed up really quickly. Roasted marshmallows in the fire pit... ooh and the silk sheets. The list goes on, we loved this place. Perfect oasis to relax & the decor is icing on the cake. Would recommend to all my girlfriends back home!

This was an absolutely perfect Topsail vacation home! We loved every minute of our stay. The location is absolutely fantastic. So close to the little local shops and restaurants as well as super close to the bridge going over to the mainland.. The house itself was spotless and quite comfortable. Had everything we needed to cook full meals. Plenty of kitchenware for our group of seven. Proximity to the beach is by far the most fantastic detail of this house! The little private sandy beach *yard* attached to the deck is awesome for kids and the beach itself just down a few steps is so amazing. We could even sit in bed and see the ocean waves! This is the best house with beach access and views we've stayed at in Topsail. Also positive to note, the entire property being fenced in felt incredibly safe for kids and was fantastic for our dog. We realized the apartment was a part of the rental unit and we were so pleasantly surprised! It was a great separate space! Overall highly recommend!

The house was in a beautiful neighborhood. The cupboards were stocked with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. There were even Half-Caff coffee pods—which is exactly what we brew at home! The house was immaculately clean and the bed comfortable. We will definitely book Kathi’s house again if we return to the area.

This was my first time staying somewhere through Airbnb and it was such a good experience! Home was clean, on theme, and so spacious. The covered porches and hot tub make it that much better - 5 stars all around!

We really enjoyed the proximity to walking distance of all the restaurants. Our dogs enjoyed exploring the fenced in front yard. The place was perfect for our stay. We will keep this place in mind when we return to Wilmington.

wonderful stay! first vacation as a new family 🥰

Great stay and location. We would love to do it again.

A lovely place I live just 3 doors down the street in the same house style. My house is being restored due to water damage. Beautifully remodeled l

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 had a great stay! The house was clean and cozy. The beds were comfortable, the decor was cute and we felt right at home. We would recommend this place to anyone!

Very beautiful view, hopefully I get the chance to experience it in the summer months. I recommend it 100% 👌

When my family and I arrived we felt right at home! The home is very clean and as described. Our pups felt right at home as well, and a fenced in backyard where they could run, and play was a huge plus. Lisa absolutely thought of everything. I really appreciated the coffee and Nespresso machines that were provided. Anything you would need for the beach such as chairs wagon etc was provided as well. Lisa left guides to local restaurants and attractions. I loved that she left a camera for us to share pictures of our pups and a photo album to see all the pups that had stayed there previously. I highly recommend this place and we will definitely book with Lisa again!

Donna’s place is such a charming home away from home. The cottage really feels like you’re in the middle of the forest, and we rest enjoyed Donna’s beautiful property full of flowers and birdsong. She was also a very responsive and welcoming host!

We had a wonderful weekend here! We were in town for a half-marathon, so we weren’t expecting to be at the house too much, but once we got there we didn’t want to leave. The host was so kind and friendly, left us snacks and a note upon our arrival. The view of the water was divine, too. We are already looking for ways to come back to stay here!

My husband, pup, and I traveled to Jacksonville, NC to visit our Marine, his wife, and their new baby. The home was beautiful, clean, well stocked and very comfortable. The expansive outdoor area made it feel as though you were in the middle of nowhere, yet in reality you are close to everything (restaurants, grocery, gas, etc...). The huge walk in shower has made me rethink my own bathroom, as I would love to have something similar in my home. Cathy, the host, was always available and checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. If available, we will definitely stay here again next time we travel to the Jacksonville area.

David is a great host! We have stayed at his cottage many times. Clean and comfortable! Highly recommend!

This cottage on pages creek was stunning, peaceful, full of nature and relaxing. Every detail was thought of, a very pleasant restful visit and an oasis at this destination!

We and our dog Sammie absolutely loved our stay! The beautiful and peaceful farmhouse was exactly as listed—spotlessly clean and fully equipped with everything we needed. It was so relaxing watching all the animals around the property. The host was quick to respond to any questions, and both they and the handyman were incredibly friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Super cute place! Had very nice appliances and was decorated nicely. The fan in the bedroom next to the balcony was very slow and it was kind of hot at night. And for anyone staying with kids, there are two small beds and one blow up mattress. The beds were a little smaller than expected but im glad the blow up mattress was there. Overall, really quiet place and felt safe. Would recommend!

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Nice private location within driving distance of base, the gym, and parks all things I was looking for. Debra was very friendly and responsive and had chocolate cake waiting for me upon arrival! Would stay here again!
