Beachfront holiday rentals in Atlantic Beach

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.

Great beach access…the unit was very clean. Had a view of ocean and felt safe in neighborhood. Was not but a block or two from shops. Overall thought unit was a little larger but it was sufficient for the 3 of us. We had a nice time!

Nothing beats waking up and immediately being able to see the Atlantic Ocean, great location! The kitchen has been recently redone, which was nice and spacious. The back balcony was half roofed so it was a nice place to sit away from the sun to take in the view. It was peaceful and quiet, everyone around us was respectful of everyone else’s surroundings. It was a blessing being able to take our dog with us on this trip. She felt comfortable in the house and fell in love with the beach!

We loved everything about this house! Perfect location, great and VERY responsive host, clean! We had an issue where we couldn’t find something (our fault) and they brought us a replacement. The views are amazing! Everything was in the house from linens, to bikes, the deck was great! I can’t say anything bad at all! We will definitely visit again!

Loved the location. I wasn't sure about everyone in our group liking being so close to the "hubbub", but that ended up being what something we really liked about the place. Lots of things to do that are walkable. Shops, restaurants, bars, coffee houses, a beautiful walkway along the intracoastal waterway, a kids playground... And the view can't be beat! Well stocked kitchen- like truly everything you could possibly need. Lots of seating on the deck. All the things! Mom was over the moon about her 90th birthday celebration.

I greatly enjoyed my island adventure. The captains to get you on and off of the island were great. Questions were answered immediately. The bed was comfortable and the setting was what I needed. It is Glamping in a small cabin and the weather greatly affects the experience. . If you are not pretty self sufficient this is not the airbnb for you, but if you are and need a place to get your head together and leave the world behind this is a perfect place. Pack plenty of ice and anything you would take camping. I enjoyed the kayaks and the access to crabbing pot. Thanks for a great experience.

The cottage is downright adorable, perfect for a getaway! Host is incredibly helpful and friendly.

We enjoyed our stay here! Close to the beach and within walking distance to a great restaurant. You could hear the upstairs room but we got lucky with respectful neighbors during our trip so it wasn’t an issue. The hosts were very responsive to anything we needed! Would stay again!

Carol is a fabulous host! This was our second year visiting Atlantic Beach and staying at her Airbnb. The location is perfect: oceanfront beach, awesome restaurants, and epic places like Shackleford Island and Cape Lookout. We hope to return!

Absolutely loved staying here! It was an end unit as described and the beach veiw from the balcony was breathtaking. Easy beach access, kid friendly unit, very clean and comfortable. It felt like home on arrival, we were able to unpack easily and still enjoy the rest of the day in the area. Stacy was very quick to answer when we had an issue and resolved it within the hour. Would recommend staying here, especially if you have kids.

We just completed our third stay with Marilyn. Our family absolutely loves this spot. It's so nice that our family of 6 can fit fairly comfortably and it's especially great that there are two full bathrooms. We also love how well kept the property grounds are, as well as how easy it is to get to the beach. We just got home a little while ago and my 4 teens are already talking about planning our next trip! Thank you Marilyn!

We absolutely loved our stay! The room was perfect for my husband and I. There were so many thoughtful touches that we appreciated like the welcome gift, extra plush towels, fan, and super comfortable bed! The room was exceptionally clean as well which is always important. The room had everything we could have needed! We can’t wait to come again and stay here. Thank you so much for sharing your space with us.

Fantastic spot right by the beach with access to two pools. Loved that there were games, towels, kitchenware and toys for kids.

Our family had a wonderful time. The space was extremely clean and fit the description in the listing and photos. The space is located in a quiet, gated community with lots of wonderful amenities and just a short walk to the beach via private access. Cathy was a wonderful host and was flexible with us during our stay. We’d love to come back for another visit soon!

Wife and I have been to Emerald Isle for the past 30+ years…Diane’s Dream is the most amazing accommodation in my opinion with a magnificent view of the ocean, well appointed kitchen and amenities, texts to check on you to see if you having the most enjoyable time and available to check in when told! Would give more than 5 stars but that’s the most I could give! Highly recommended!

I can't thank Brad enough. what a wonderful place, location, and the BEST host ever. We will be back!!

We loved our stay at Candi’s place! Beautiful property(beachfront), awesome condo(loved the decor), amazing pool/spa, friendly property manager, spectacular views, great balcony, convenient elevator!!! Everything we dreamed of when planning. Thank you for a memorable vacay…🩷

My wife, son, daughter, granddaughter, her guide dog and I stayed at Natalie and John’s lovely condo at Atlantic Beach, NC to celebrate our GD’s graduation from High School in Chicago. It was a 5 star stay. First of all, the house is mere steps from the beach. Plus, it’s only an across-the-intercoastal waterway drive to Morehead City and Beaufort if you’re looking for stuff not available in Atlantic Beach. Our GD really wanted to see wild ponies on islands in the area. So son, daughter and GD spent one day trekking the sands of Shakleford Banks (while we hosted the pup at the house) and another day with us on the island nature preserve in the harbor adjacent to Beaufort (where we could bring the pup). Lots of horses to be seen. In between horse visits we spent a lot of time sunning, swimming and walking the beach. It rained the day we checked out so we visited the NC aquarium in Pine Knoll Shores, a town next door. Hint: go early, as this place fills up fast, esp. when it rains.

Incredible!!! Whimsical Whale was perfect for our family! We felt as if we were staying the week with a distant relative. We felt welcomed and wanted but were given space even though they live upstairs. It was a beautiful, convenient and safe location. They do fail to mention in the listing that they have just about everything you think you need for a beach trip. A storage shed full of all the beach necessities, even a grill we were able to use. I believe out of all of the beach gear we brought, we only used our wagon. She even brought us assorted chocolate covered pretzels, they were delicious. They do have WiFi, and televisions. Although the only way to stream is through the blu ray player. I would suggest bringing some dvds if you have little ones coming along. 10 out of 10, 5 stars across the board!!!

The house was exactly as pictured & Beata was so friendly & easy to communicate with. The house was very clean (by far the most clean pet-friendly home we have stayed in). You would have no idea it was pet friendly if you were traveling without four legged children. We can’t wait to return next year!

Beautiful property, gorgeous scenery. Very homey and comfortable accommodations. Even little touches like snacks and fresh eggs from their chickens. The hosts were super hospitable, couldn’t ask for anything more. If you are looking for a sweet couples getaway, this is the place!

We absolutely loved our time at Amy's condo. Gorgeous view, great amenities, and steps from the beach. I appreciated the stainless steel cookware, beach chairs, and ample towels. Will definitely be back!

This was the 1st time staying @ Emerald Isle & Dan’s location was perfect. Quiet family oriented beach location. The house is well equipped with all you need for a day at the beach. Very clean with an adorable bunk room that the adults were envious of it! Comfortable beds & plenty places to sit in & out. Kitchen is well stocked for all your cooking needs.

We had an amazing weekend stay with our family. It was clean and cozy and perfect for a family beach vacation. Absolutely recommend!
