Holiday rentals with a kayak in Onslow County

We had a fun week in Topsail beach. The townhome was clean and had everything we needed for our beach vacation. The only suggestion is a fan or mini split unit for the garage. We had a great time playing ping pong but at times it was quite muggy. The walk to the beach is short and easy. The beach itself is beautiful with lots of space for everyone. We also enjoyed the pool and pier. Overall a wonderful and relaxing trip. Thank you for sharing your beautiful and cozy home.

Phenomenal place. Located right on the canal with kayaks and stand-up paddle boards for use. It is only about a 12 minute walk from beach access 2. It is a Must stay place if you were in the area.

Excellent communication and response. Always a great place to stay and the hosts are the best.

The house exceeded our expectations. There is beach equipment/towels available for guests, along with a rise off area by the garage. The kitchen is fully stocked compared to other air bnbs I've stayed in. Check in/check out is super easy and the responsive hosts created a helpful guidebook to answer all questions and even included restaurant/activity recommendations. The walk to the beach access was much shorter than we thought from the map view, so this is a perfect location in vicinity to the beach. The house was spotless when we arrived, all of the linens are high quality and cleaned very well. The mattresses and pillows were also extremely comfy! We've decided that Topsail will be our regular beach spot and we'll be staying here whenever possible!!

Our family hadn’t all been together in over 8 years—the last time was for our father’s funeral. This trip was the first time we reunited simply to enjoy each other’s company, and The Kraken was the perfect place for it. The home was beautiful, clean, and so thoughtfully designed. Every room suited someone in our family, and my husband and I especially loved the cedarwood bedroom on the first floor—it smelled amazing and felt like a true retreat. The deck and backyard were our favorite hangouts, and the easy water access made for nonstop fun. The hosts provided everything we needed—including water toys for both adults and kids, which our grandbaby especially enjoyed. The golf cart was a great bonus, and the location made exploring easy. Melissa and Shawn were incredible hosts—friendly, responsive, and so helpful from start to finish. They truly deserve their 5-star rating. This home gave us the chance to reconnect, laugh, and create joyful new memories. We’ll never forget it. Than you !

Rob and Jenifer were very accommodating hosts. Their beautiful home was everything we needed during our stay.

I would highly recommend booking this house! Chad was very responsive and open to any questions or concerns I had. He went out of his way to help us book his house and was very friendly. If you’re looking for a house with s great view I highly recommend this house as it overlooked the marsh with a beautiful sunset. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would definitely visit again!!

We had the most wonderful time at this beach house! It had everything we needed for a perfect family getaway, from beach chairs to sand toys, every detail was thoughtfully provided. My kids especially loved fishing off the boat slip, which was such a fun and unique bonus! The location was peaceful and quiet, making it easy to relax and unwind. The house itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and felt like a true home away from home. We made such special memories here and can’t wait to come back again!

We had a great long weekend stay. The house exceeded our expectations, was spacious and the views were incredible. Only a half mile drive to the bridge leading to the surf city pier.

Beautiful, clean home and bug-free, which was really important to me in such a humid area. We enjoyed the views from the deck right outside our bedrooms and spent lots of time drinking cocktails in the big screened-in porch. We also loved the little bar area with ice machine. Only thing to keep in mind is if you bring a boat, you can’t tie it to their dock, and the boat ramp is small and not easy to get in and out of. Everything else was great. Frederick is an awesome host, always responsive and accommodating with any questions we had. We would definitely recommend this place for a summer getaway.

very nice get away from your everyday life, especially when visiting from the city. only about 15 minutes away from the beach. The place looks exactly like the pictures. Extremely beautiful and peaceful my family really enjoyed their visit.

Our stay was wonderful. Richard was very hospitable and communicated with us very well throughout our trip. Would definitely stay again! The house was beautiful and full of games, activities, and very private.

We loved the house it was very clean and cozy. She had everything we needed and more.

We had a great week at the beach staying at Sue’s house! The house was the perfect size for our family of four. It was just a short walk to a public beach access. We also enjoyed kayaking in the creeks behind the house, watching the beautiful sunsets on the back deck, and grilling and eating in the awesome area under the house. Sue was very responsive whenever we needed anything. We would definitely stay here again.
