/ nightParadise awaits! Enjoy the gorgeous sunrise over the Emerald Isle bridge, and the sunsets over the islands. Watch the dolphins play, fish, enjoy the refreshing saltwater, play on the swim-mat, kayak to the islands, endless adventure. In the evenings relax in the hot tub on the back porch. 2 miles to the beach. This is a peaceful and quiet home, the most noise you will hear are the boats going by. The water is steps away from the screened in front porch. Bring your boat and tie it to the dock. Our home is at the end of the Road, Very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. Most of our neighbors are older so we do ask that noise be kept down after 9pm. Not much traffic on Waterway drive, there is plenty of parking for 3 cars. We do ask that there not be more than 3 cars at the home. Waterway Drive is a private and small road.

April 2025 5.00This is the type of place that keeps me coming back to Airbnbs. Loved the dock and watching the boats go by in the AM.

April 2025 5.00Lovely stay right by the water! The neighborhood was very peaceful, the water was beautiful, and having super easy access was so much fun! We loved watching sunset from the dock and watching boats drive by, and had a blast fishing in the marshes on the other side of the inlet. The interior was well appointed, clean, and cozy. We want to come back!

January 2025 5.00This air b n b was a great find! Me and my friend just wanted to get away for a couple of days and it was perfect! We got to relax and had an awesome view of the water and were able to relax in the hot tub which was the perfect addition. It’s close to lots of stores, restaurants, shops. We also enjoyed the bar around the corner, Riptide’s, on our last night there. I highly recommend this spot!

December 2024 5.00I loved my stay! Beautiful views of the sunrise and sunset, and the home was so cute. The Christmas tree and coffee bar made it super cozy as well. And the stargazing! I enjoyed soaking in the hot tub a couple of times and it was so relaxing to while looking up at the stars. It's clear Jonathan and Misty have put a lot of care into creating a peaceful and welcoming space. I also really appreciated the guidebook. I’d definitely stay here again!

December 2024 5.00We really loved this place. It has a very nice view. We enjoyed eating in their porch or sitting in the living room with such a gorgeous view. We were able to cook our dinner and breakfast and drink a cup of coffee. We are hoping to come back during the summer and stay longer. Thanks Jonathan and Misty for being so helpful and great hosts.

September 2024 5.00Host was communicative when the weather had the potential to impact our stay. The home was clean, and the amenities well worth it.
Terra P.
September 2024 5.00Much needed mini-stay. Really appreciated all the amenities. It was easy to feel at home with lots of cozy blankets and plenty of towels. Very clean but not pristine to where you felt like you were in a museum.

August 2024 5.00My family and I had an amazing time. We loved the view and saw dolphins playing daily. We kayaked to the island and collected shells. We enjoyed the water mat and did some fishing. Had a great conversation with the neighbor George who told us about the home and was so nice. The home is in a perfect location and the views are breathtaking. Loved the screened in porch. I highly recommend this beautiful home and will definitely be going back.
Wendy M.
August 2024 5.00Sadly we went on days that were rainy, but we still went for a swim from the dock. took a drive to the beach that wasn't but like 12 mins away. the house was cozy, relaxing, we enjoyed our cup of coffee in the mornings either on the front porch or the dock. we saw dolphins swim by in the afternoons and mornings.
Richele H.
August 2024 5.00We loved are long weekend. The house was great for 5 of us and 2 dogs. The location was very peaceful and loved the early morning view. The only thing we were disappointed in was we couldn’t dock our boat at the boat ramp. We used a marina 5 min away but would’ve loved the convince of using the dock but the wake was way too much to keep at the dock. Not the owners fault at all just wish we knew ahead of time. Jonathan was very nice and accommodating.

July 2024 5.00Muy acogedora fue una experiencia fenomenal

June 2024 5.00Beyond our expectations! So clean and cozy! One of our favorite vacations so far! Location is excellent! Kayaking to the near by Island was our favorite! We felt right at home and felt safe sleeping in such a peaceful area! The neighbor was so sweet and helpful to us! We can’t wait to come back! Excellent host!!!
Samuel N.
June 2024 5.00We had a great stay! With 4 young children, it’s very difficult finding the right place to stay. This property is a gem and worked so well for our family. It really felt like a home away from home. We really enjoyed our time on the pier and on the flotation mat. The hot tub and kayaks were a nice plus. Also, the locals and neighbors were very friendly. There was a great balance of privacy and nice interactions with others. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at this property again in the future. 100% worth it!
Cody M.

AUstin W.
May 2024 5.00It was a lovely stay. We loved the water access and the proximity to beaches and major touristy areas. Sadly no dolphins for us but it was fun to watch out on the water lol.

May 2024 5.00We loved our stay and will certainly stay again! The house, the lakefront, and the private community were all great advantages of this stay.

Drake C.
April 2024 5.00It was my first time personally renting an AirBNB. The host was AWESOME and the location was even better! Right on the intercostal waterway, with access to a private dock and kayaks. We used this beautiful property as our weekend getaway after my wife and I got married. Our whole family had a great time. Our 5 month old got to experience the aquarium, the beach, and sitting on the dock with dad fishing, all in 1 weekend. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to finish off our wedding weekend.

April 2024 5.00We had an amazing time at our Airbnb stay! The location is perfect! Very quiet and peaceful. The water was beautiful and we brought our small fishing boat and had a blast. Jonathan was very helpful and quickly responsive! We will definitely be back.
Mark V.
April 2024 5.00House is nice, dock is great. Was windy, real windy, first 2 days of our stay but such happens on the coast. The current is very strong due to tides. Caught sharks, sting rays, snd some pinfush/croakers. I imagine when certain fish are running, especially drum, fishing could be crazy. We saw dolphibs every day but only once were they there for a long while. I would certainly stay here again.
Madison S.
March 2024 5.00Wonderful stay during the kids spring break, we definitely want to come back for warmer weather!
Ge S.
March 2024 5.00Great place to take a rest and really enjoy the hottub time every day. Homeowners are very friendly and helpful. They sent me plenty of travel guides information which is very useful for our first time tour here. We tried the restaurants the guides recommended and really like them. We went to the beach which is super wonderful. Anyway, it was a nice trip.
Tom W.

Ben B.
December 2023 5.00This house and location was the perfect sanctuary and exactly as described. The hosts provided every accommodation we needed and they are super nice. The house was spotless and offered beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We saw dolphins on day 1 and caught fish off the dock on day two. We couldn’t have asked for anything more! A fantastic, peaceful getaway!!
Sue S.
December 2023 5.00Wow! Jonathan's place was amazing. The house was clean had everything we needed. We loved sitting out on the dock to watch the sunrise and loved spending our evenings relaxing on the screened in porch. The hot tub, kayaks, extra blankets, snacks and coffee bar all made for an amazing stay!!!
Jen H.
December 2023 5.00So peaceful and private. Really enjoyed our weekend! It was so nice to have a private dock and screened in porch. The hot tub is on the other side of the house (so it’s not near the water) but it was still a nice! Jonathan was very communicative and we had no problems during our stay!
Nancy W.

December 2023 5.00Great stay. Wonderful place and amazing hosts.
Carolyn M.
December 2023 5.00We couldn’t be happier with our accommodations, so many little extras on top of what was in the description. A beautiful area, lovely dock and town, just a winner all around. We went when chilly but still got to play and fish off the dock. Hubby caught several fish which was the icing on the cake! Made for a memorable 70th bday. Thank you to Jonathan and his wife for all the thoughtful touches! Will definitely be back when we can kayak and explore.
Jennifer W.
November 2023 5.00Stay was great. Hopefully we will go back in the summer!!
Deborah M.
November 2023 5.00Had all the essentials for a great Thanksgiving get together. Not a better place to watch the Swansboro Christmas boat flotilla!! We watched from the spacious screened porch and the property’s private dock. Staying at this cottage for Thanksgiving could become a family tradition!

October 2023 5.00This home was absolutely perfect for our family of 4 during our stay in Emerald Isle! The area is beautiful, the home was very clean and the hosts were super friendly and easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay again and recommend it to other guests!
Suzanne G.
October 2023 5.00We were so glad that we chose this particular house verses one off the beach in Emerald Isle. It was the perfect waterfront spot to do a little fishing and to relax. Because we were there off season, the street and waterway were quiet and peaceful. We had the perfect weather week of 75 to 80 degrees during the day, sunny skies and cool nights. The cottage was perfect. It was clean and well stocked. We ate dinner both nights on the screened porch over looking the water. I could not have asked for a better spot to celebrate my birthday with my husband. We loved exploring Cedar Point and Swansboro. We caught a few fish. The water was too cold too swim but the hot tub was perfect for two people who have worked a lot of hours in the past several months. Our hosts were so nice and very responsive. Thank you so much for sharing your adorable Airbnb with us. We definitely want to come back and we highly recommend.

August 2023 5.00Great location!! Absolutely beautiful views. Hone was well stocked with everything you could think of. Swimming and fishing on site was wonderful, boat dock available. People were friendly and responded quickly to the few issues we had. The only negative thing was the screen doors on the house and screened in porch did not latch. Overall we enjoyed our stay and plan to stay here again.
