This is an absolutely stunning location! It was close to everything! 15min to the beach. 15 min to the grocery store. There were lots of attractions to check out but we just stayed on the property. The variety of places to sit and just relax and take in the views from the deck or the back yard or the dock. The house itself was spotless with the most comfortable bed I ever slept on. The kitchen is a joy to cook in. Over all, it was a gem for our family.

Our family loves this house and have been coming here for many years! It is always the perfect house and we never have any issues. Everything is very comfortable and the views are amazing! Unfortunately this time the Kayaks seemed to have been left out from the previous tenants and were dirty/full of water so we didn’t get to use them, they do seem to have a bit of an ant problem and I think the cleaners were in a bit of a hurry because everything the counters, floors and most of the dishes were dirty. BUT other than the few little problems we had a great time as always and will definitely be back again. Check in and check out process is extremely easy and the host responded immediately when I was having trouble with VRBO. Overall it was a great time and we will be back next year! :)

Great location and amenities

Kayaks, grill, hot tub and plenty of outdoor seating overlooking amazing view of the sound and bird life. Fantastic peer with easy kayak launching. Kitchen well equipped. Would recommend blinds on the east facing loft glass door. All in all would definitely stay here again.

Our favorite place

This home is a gem. The views, the jacuzzi, the kayaks, we love it all. We also like how it’s near Swansboro and not too far from the ocean. We can’t wait to come back next year.

Home for the holidays

This was the perfect rental for our group of two families (4 adults, 5 kids) returning home to Swansboro for the holidays. The owners were very responsive to my messages and the check in / out process was a breeze. Would certainly recommend this rental to others.

Race week getaway

We came down to race at Carteret County Speedway and enjoy the beach. Plenty of parking, 10 mins from beach or track, plenty of restaurants. The dock/pier out to the water was great. Sunrises and sunsets! This is a great location!

Expectations exceeded

The Kayak Kabin provided the perfect accommodations for our group. We loved the back yard and deck areas which provided beautiful and relaxing views of the water and wildlife. Sunsets with cocktails were a must every night! We also really enjoyed the hot tub. Everything was clean and the beds were comfortable. We hope to stay here again.

Wonderful Week at Kayak Kabin

Our family (2 adults and 6 children) had a wonderful stay at Kayak Kabin! The pictures don’t do it justice. The dock was beautiful to sit on during the mornings and evenings. The location was perfect! Thank you so much!

Great location - beautiful property!

This was my second stay in the Kayak Kabin. It is such a peaceful setting and the house is spotless and beautifully decorated. It has every amenity imaginable. The hot tub was a bonus. I contacted the host with a question and received a response within a couple of minutes. We would love to return in warmer weather to take advantage of kayaking and all that Emerald Isle has to offer.

Clean, Beautiful & Convenient

Our family of six had a fantastic experience at the Kayak Kabin. Seemless check-in, well stocked home that was spotless and near all the places we wanted to visit. We saw so many birds in the mornings and enjoyed kayaking one evening. The hot tub was a hit and so fresh and clean (wow!). We had everything we needed and wanted at this location. Our host was so responsive and helpful. Thanks!

Last minute NYE

We had a great 3 nights over NYE. We booked 36 hrs before we arrived. All the reviews are on point about this property. Excellent views, comfy beds, well stocked property (although some more forks and teaspoons would be great). You can hear the road especially if the windows are open at night but that didn't detract for us. Great hot tub, corn holes (one of the red bags had a hole), ring game, puzzles/ games, kayaks our 13 yr old actually enjoyed spending time with us! The boat ramp across the road was perfect our cousin pulled their boat up and took us off up the ICW.... and of course great seafood from Phillips just up the street!

Wonderful Property

This property is exactly as listed. It is the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in. The house is comfortable and the dock and hot tub make for a pleasant alternative to staying on the beach. We loved the proximity to Swansboro for dining. We did not make use of the Kayaks as we didn't have the energy to haul them down the dock, but we did catch many crabs at the end of the dock. The road is busy, but the privacy of the house and the beauty of the river more than make up for it. The owner is very responsive and I appreciated that linens were included along with other thoughtful items like charcoal for the grill and extra garbage bags and toilet paper. You can tell the difference when renting directly from and owner compared to renting from a property managed by a real estate company.

Gorgeous and welcoming slice of paradise!!

Kayak Kabin provides a welcoming atmosphere and a spectacular water view. The house offers a warm and spotless “home away from home” feel. In particular, we felt cozy and safe during our absolutely frigid Christmas stay. The ample living room gave the family the perfect setting to watch a few Christmas movies and to enjoy each other’s company. The hot tub was a welcome addition that we enjoyed, especially during the frigid temperatures. It is not an overstatement to say that the river views are breathtaking and serene. These views are available from almost every room of the house. The owners were friendly and helpful. Check-in and check-out were the easiest and most streamlined we have ever experienced. We loved visiting various shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues found in Emerald Isle, Cedar Point, and Swansboro. As a family, we certainly hope another trip to Kayak Kabin is in our future!!
