Waterfront apartment accommodation

Waterfront Studio Apartment
Great location tucked back in an older neighborhood on the water, clean and comfortable sleeping arrangements.

Beach Front Condo- sleeps 4!
This is a great little place! The location was great. I admit I would have like a better view out the window, but all I had to do was take a few steps to see the water. Shirt walk to the ocean, nice pool. Would definitely stay here again.

New! Oceanfront 2bd/2ba - Penthouse View!
We enjoyed our stay here! The beach supplies were amazing, and we had everything we needed for traveling with our toddler. One thing to note is you do have to put the sheets on the beds yourself. That wasn’t clear in the listing, and we waited until we were exhausted to do it later that night which wasn’t very fun. But very minor action in what was a wonderful family vacation with great views!

Blue Heron Shack
My husband, daughter and pet dog Mocha enjoyed our stay. We very much enjoyed visiting the Shackleford Banks and seeing the wild horses and dolphins. My daughter and I spent some time on their dock our last night and it was very peaceful, I only wish we took advantage of that more as well as maybe kayaking over to the little island across the way. My only fall back was I kept bumping my head on the walls of the apartment but I was the only one that had the issue, my husband ( who is taller) and daughter did not. Most likely my very own perception issue😜

The Boathouse
Really enjoyed my stay at the Boathouse Apartment! Beautiful surroundings on the water and a really cozy private one room apartment. Great utilization of space and perfect for an individual or a couple's retreat. Great location in close proximity to Morehead City and the boat harbor docks with plenty of shops and restaurants. William was a great host who was prompt and helpful in communications and was very accommodating. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a relaxing stay near the water in Morehead City!

Lil' Dock/Riverfront apt./Late Sunday checkout!
Lil’ Dock was fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend visit. Downtown New Bern is just a short drive away, and we also got the quiet river view that comes with not staying right in the city. We would absolutely stay here again!

Oceanfront- Crystal Coast Persuasion
Fantastic stay! Fantastic, relaxing setting.... we loved the view of the water. There were some cute Easter decorations inside. The two dogs that live there are amazing! We missed our dogs so much and loved that theirs came to visit! Perfect stay for our family!

Pet friendly 1 bedroom unit with a view!
perfect place to visit with pets. easy in and out and walkable to all the fun Beaufort locations and great restaurants.
Waterfront house rentals

Oak Blue
The home was very beautiful and well appointed. Anthony was extremely responsive and was very accommodating. The house is a great location with access to beaches, shopping and restaurants and was anywhere from 10-30 minutes away. I won't hesitate to book this location again!

OceanFront 3Bedroom/2.5Bathroom Dog Friendly home!
What a delightful experience! The house was as advertised and more. Kate provided many thoughtful touches (easy entertainment navigating, extra kitchen and food treats, fully stocked kitchen and cooking aids, games, beach supplies), which were wonderful surprises. She operates a pet friendly house, with pet supplies too. The location is marvelous, and the Surf City beaches are wonderful. She truly is a five star hostess, and this lovely home is perfect for a family/pet holiday.

Oceanfront Oasis Emerald Isle, NC
Penny’s place was absolutely amazing! From the minute we walked in the door it exceeded our expectations! The home is beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean and fully stocked with all you need for a family beach vacation. Penny was very responsive with any questions we had and gave many great recommendations for places to eat and shop. Would highly recommended her home and we hope we can come back very soon!

Waterfront Retreat! Beach/Sound Access/Sunset view
This place has an amazing feel of comfort, cleanliness, decorated perfectly, beds sleep absolutely amazing, view of sound is perfect, nice window views, great neighborhood and just all around beautiful and bet it’s hard to beat on all these points! It’s a must stay and great host! 100% gonna be back!!!

Coastal Retreat on Waterway w/Hot Tub
We had a wonderful stay! The property was peaceful and private with a beautiful view right next to the canal. My kids especially had a blast fishing off the dock — it quickly became their favorite part of the trip. The setting was perfect for relaxing and spending quality time together. We would definitely love to come back!

Waterfront Vacation Home away from Home
Jessie’s place was absolutely amazing. Extremely clean and very well appointed. We loved the pool and it was a very short walk to the beach. The location is very close to restaurants and public beach’s as well. The only issue was that our vacation was cut short by tropical storm Debbie. Can’t wait to rent with Jessie again in the future.

Venice Cove
Beautiful and very clean home on the sound. Great place to relax in a coastal atmosphere. We enjoyed our stay and meeting our host Deanna.

The Hanner-Luxury Ocean Front Home
Absolutely beautiful! There was so much that we loved about this Airbnb that it would be impossible to list everything. My daughter loved how quiet, peaceful, and roomy everything was to help her prepare for her wedding day on March 30th. Kitchen was perfect to make cinnamon rolls and the balconies were amazing for the other family members to be able to read and enjoy the sunshine. Everyone wants to come back and experience this stay again and I plan to recommend it to everyone at work tomorrow. Thanks so much for a memorable weekend!
Waterfront condo accommodation

By The Sea: Gorgeous ocean views with balcony!
We had such a wonderful and relaxing stay. The condo was just as described and you couldn’t get any closer to the beach! It is literally short walk from the door and down one flight of stairs! High tide only came all the way up one day of our stay. The beach was gorgeous! Alan was very responsive to the few questions we had and very friendly! The condo is perfect for 2 people! Would highly recommend if you want a place close to the ocean!

Blue Space - a couples retreat
This was our second family vacation to this rental and we were not disappointed. we watched the dolphins while drinking coffee off the balcony. walked down to the beach every day and enjoyed the convenience of having everything just steps away. Christine has chairs and beach toys available for you to use so it's perfect if you're flying in. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Why Knot Getaway. Rooftop with WaterView! Unit E
Prime location, right in the middle of the waterfront area. The place was as advertised, definitely on the small side but not a surprise as they clearly communicated the square footage, didn’t feel cramped. Great amenities as well, loved the rooftop deck for evening cocktails prior to dinner.

Oceanfront First-Floor Condo with Stunning Views
We had the most incredible stay at this stunning beachfront Airbnb in North Topsail Beach! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views of the ocean. Waking up to the sound of waves and sipping coffee on the private deck as the sun rose over the water felt like a dream. The apartment itself is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully decorated, with a cozy coastal vibe that instantly makes you feel at home. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and the living space was ideal for relaxing after a day in the sun.

MillionDollarView-Oceanfront 1BR-Updated!
If you like being right on the beach, this place is for you. Beautiful moon scapes at night. Very quiet area of the island.

Beachfront Condo ~Pool ~Hot Tub ~Relax & Play
Love, love, love! Everything as described, extremely clean and super easy access to the beach. Extra amenities all very thoughtful and so appreciated! All ramps to access beach which was perfect for my jogging stroller with my littlest! Highly recommend!!

Serenity by the Sea, cozy beachfront with a view
Great place to stay. Very relaxing. High tide is right up to the sandbags so you can access the beach until later in the morning which was fine for us. After that the beach is open all day. Highly recommend this place. We will be back.

Luxurious 3 bedroom condo
Anita was great reaching out to make sure our arrival was good, and that there were no issues. We have stayed numerous times over the last 5-6 years. It is a great location, plenty of amenities, and feels the comfort of home. I highly recommend her place you are planning to stay in the Beaufort/Morehead city area. She is one of the best host I deal with when using Airbnb!
