Semi-Oceanfront Beach Cottage I
Chase’s place is a perfect get away for 2-4 people. It’s soooo close to the beach, just a 3 min walk over the dune. It was quiet and private and had great outdoor space including chairs on the upper deck and picnic table below to toss all the beach stuff when returning from the beach. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning and wi fi were strong! We were able to walk for coffee at Muffins and Scones and wine & beer at Cork and Bottle, both of which were fantastic! So refreshing to find an air bnb with all the furnishings in an area dominated by rental companies that require you to bring or rent your own linens. Thanks Chase!

Waterfront Beach Bungalow
I have so many good things to say about Craig’s guesthouse. First of all, the views are amazing! I didn’t want to leave and will definitely be back. Such a unique little bungalow! I needed a getaway for just me, myself, and I and I felt very comfortable staying by myself in the guesthouse. Don’t hesitate on this one! Nice quiet location but close enough to the outer banks for food or activities. Definitely recommend and Craig was an amazing host. He gave specific directions and was there when I needed to call on him once during my stay.

*Pet Friendly*Island Beach Shack with Pool!
My two boys and I stayed at Dawns Beach cottage for spring break. There is so much to do or not do on Hatteras depending on your mood. Her place is convenient to the beach and convenient to restaurants and the skate board park. We went to Edge daily and Waterman’s. Also highly recommended the Filipino food truck Hoy Lechon!!! The cottage is a simple one bedroom one bathroom that was well furnished and clean. We spent the day fishing and at the beach as well as exploring Hatteras island. The memory foam king mattress was very comfortable and the kitchen was well supplied although we only ate breakfast at the cottage. My boys enjoyed the free range chickens that would visit us and my dog enjoyed the walks all over town. We would definitely stay again.

Romantic Soundfront retreat private hot tub/deck
Amazing view and very cozy space. Had everything we needed!

Beach Retreat - Private Studio Apartment
Really enjoyed our second stay at Sonny and Mikaila's place this summer! Really a perfect location, close to everything. Great time of year to have the beach to yourself! Enjoyed climbing Currituck Beach Lighthouse and visiting the Wright Brothers Museum and Memorial. Great dinner at Mama Kwan's (as always!) and a great sunset dinner at Miller's Waterfront. Been coming to OBX for over 30 years and it never gets old! Thanks for a great stay, see you next summer! Ally Tequila Sunset, Harpers Ferry WV

Green Door Guest Room at OBX Beach
I stayed here for for a nearby wedding in Duck and the location could not have been more convenient to the venue and the fun downtown Duck area with shopping, restaurants, etc. The size of the apartment was perfect for a few people and very peaceful. We loved the screened in porch. I would strongly recommend this as a great option for an obx stay!

Farm Cottage at the beach
Dorothy's place was fantastic, a very unique spot and friendly host. Location was great - central in the outer banks for us to get to everything we wanted during the few days we were there, secluded from the highway and felt like we were part of the neighborhood. We took Dorothy up on her offer to show us around the property, our two girls 5 and under really enjoyed the chickens, butterflies, flowers, tractor, honeybees, and frogs! The space had everything we needed to cook some meals in, and plenty of space to feel comfortable on the great furniture they had. We'll be back next time we're in the outer banks!

Colington island guesthouse
We loved our stay! It was so nice to be close enough to the beach and great restaurants for easy access and still be able to come to such a nice, quiet, peaceful home to relax. We loved the outdoor space and ate most of our meals either upstairs on the deck or on the picnic table by the grill. Full kitchen, fully equipped, easy to find everything. Her pets were very friends and we made friends with her two cats and Tobi, the dog. There was a nice green space to play games and small channel behind the house where we could feed turtles with the turtle food provided. Our host was amazing and very helpful. 10/10 would stay there again!!

Our Lucky Charm
Great little spot for our lads fishing trip. House is really clean and modern (not corny beach decor) which was appreciated. Wes was friendly and welcoming. Our nephew loved fishing for Pinfish in the yard. Really enjoyed our brief stay. Thanks!

The Beach Palette Outer Banks - Tiny Home
My husband and I cannot say enough about our stay at the Beach Palette!! Their attention to detail and ways they added little things to make our stay comfortable and seamless was truly appreciated. The decor and amenities were very charming and carefully chosen. This property was truly a hidden gem close to a bunch of great restaurants, beach accesses and golf! They also helped us by providing restaurant recommendations which we found a new fav spot! We have already decided we would like to come back next year! Thank you again, Carolina and Brian for a wonderful getaway! :)

Couples Getaway-Central Location-Hey, Get A Room!
We had a great time and really appreciated being able to borrow bikes during our stay. The space was very clean and cozy.

OBX Village Studio
Tyler’s listing is clean and well appointed. I stayed for a month during a contract and looked forward to going “home” at the end of the day.

The Soundside Studio
This was a lovely place that was centrally located. We went south towards the lighthouses one day and north for duck donuts and ice cream the next. During other times we enjoyed fishing, good food and very friendly people at some of the local establishments. Looking forward to coming back soon! Great house, great host, great hospitality!

Driftwood Lane
Shannon & Rob’s place is a hidden gem! Everything was exactly as described, clean and in the perfect location. It was the perfect stay while traveling with our dog - we will most certainly be back!

Pier No Pressure
Laura has a great place to stay at here. Close to the pier and a lot of other amenities.

Barefoot Bungalow - peaceful oceanside studio
If you can plan a weekend getaway, this is the place to stay! We love visiting Rodanthe any time of the year and Carrie’s place was perfect. Quiet and secluded, but close enough to hear the waves along the beach. We will definitely stay in the bungalow again!

OBX Spring BEACH Cottage HotTub 2min- Beach
Anchor-In 2 is perfect. Its renovation was done with quality and taste. It is private and quiet yet close to the beach and walkable to coffee. You have views of the ocean. We used the very clean hot tub twice a day. We rested well. The hosts were proactive and very interested in making sure we had an excellent experience. We would definitely stay again.

1st Floor Creekside Apartment on Four Acres
When the app says that Mariano is a superhost, they are right on the money! This property is beautiful, well stocked, very spacious and just lovely! We stayed here twice in 2 months and and will definatrly be back soon! Thank You Mariano! You are awesome and very responsive! Hope to See you agsin soon!

Studio under the Live Oak, Pet Friendly
It was located near beach and one can enjoy both beautiful sunrise and sunset near the place. The host family was extremely kind and I felt like visiting old good friend’s home. The host guided us to the beach to see sunset and explained history of the town which otherwise I would never know. I really appreciate for having us and definitely stay again if I revisit the town.

Short walk to beach AND sound! New Construction!
Lots of OBX beach houses are weatherbeaten and sometimes a bit shabby, this flat is brand new and pristine. Amenities, location, communication all great. Not beachfront but you can see the ocean and beach/sound access are nearby. Frisco is well away from the Nags head crowds. We will be back.

Central Location in KDH
Very comfortable accommodations. Unit was very clean and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Near a paved walking path which was very nice. Howie answered our questions promptly. Would definitely stay here again.

North Duck Bungalow - Short Walk to the Beach!
We had a great experience and would stay here again! The bungalow was very cute and in a great area. We were an easy 7-10ish minute walk to the beach through a very nice neighborhood. Michael was responsive and gave clear instructions to make check in/check out a breeze.

Owl’s Landing in Southern Shores
Perfect stay. Very clean and nicely finished house. We loved this location in OBX of anywhere we visited during our stay. Access to the local HOA private beaches is really nice, and a nice benefit we hadn’t considered before booking. Duck town is not too far. The only thing we couldn’t think of is the pictures don’t do the place justice, it’s much nicer in person!

The Caroline Cottage
The Caroline Cottage was perfect for our stay. The cottage was spotless and it had everything we needed. Great location and one can walk anywhere they need to go in Manteo. It's close to restaurants and shops. It's also close to the Manteo waterfront, within steps. I would recommend the cottage 100% and I plan to return.
