Jockey Ridge State Park + Sound Beach + Hot Tub

JillRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Our family of 4 (2 adults, an 8 yo, & a 3 yo) stayed here for 4 nights and had an awesome time. The location is fantastic! It's an easy walk to the dunes and the sound, and there's lots of food options within a short drive. Erica's rental was incredibly clean and very comfortable. We cooked a lot of our meals and the kitchen was well equipped. Though the space is attached to the main house, everything felt very private. We would absolutely stay here again!

The Dock

TaylorRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We had an amazing stay at this cozy Airbnb overlooking the Currituck Sound! The location near the heart of Duck is hard to beat, with easy access to fantastic shops, restaurants, and local coffee shops. The views over the sound are stunning, and the peaceful setting made it a truly relaxing getaway for this time of year. Our host was incredibly helpful and responsive, ensuring we were set for a smooth check-in. 10/10 would recommend!

Beach Side Oasis in Prime Location, Heart of KDH!

Ashley BrookeRating, 5 stars8 months ago
This is a fantastic unit for a couple (or best friends!) retreat. The location is perfect - directly across the street from beach entrance, walking distance to great coffee shops, local ice cream, surf shops, brewery, food, convenience stores, and more! I liked the house was at the end of a cul-de-sac so no traffic on the street. The host is very friendly and responsive with great directions. Check in/out was hassle free. I will definitely be coming back for a long weekend getaway!

The Bungalow on the Lagoon - with boat ramp

JamesRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
What a neat little spot! The space was perfect for our family of three. Close to beaches, restaurants, shops, and the ferry. Gracie, her place, and her art gallery next door encapsulate what makes the Outer Banks so welcoming and charming very well. Will 100% be back in the future.

Rocking Hat Retreat WEST •Private garden on canal•

KatherineRating, 5 stars7 months ago
I had an amazing few days at Jayme's place. Everything was exactly as described. I look forward to returning. This may sound like a cliche, but it truly is a hidden gem. The apartment is spacious and welcoming. Perfect for a small family or getaway with a few friends. I was able to visit with my family, while having my own quiet space where I could work in the day and see my kids/grandkids in the afternoons and evenings. Just steps away, you can rent a bike and go anywhere. The area is also very walkable. A wonderful restaurant is also just steps away from the property. Everything is very close, including groceries, restaurants, and things to do. And, of course, there is a very easy short stroll to the beach so no worries about looking for parking :) Jayme is super friendly and helpful. It was a treat to meet her. I don't think I have ever met a host in person. I have been fortunate to have wonderful AirBnB experiences, but this has been one of my best.

Stylish Waterfront/Marina Condo

TracyRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Really enjoyed the condo it was a perfect base camp for a variety of activities in the OBX. There was a well stocked kitchen which was great as we did a lot of home meals. The condo was nicely decorated, and the beds were super comfy! James was easy to contact and communicated back quickly if asked a question. Was a great stay.

Canalfront, "Mariner's Retreat"

LorneRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We found the apartment to be very comfortable, neat and tidy. We liked the location and the fact that it was away from the noise and traffic of the main road. The apartment fit our needs perfectly. We would certainly come back and stay here on a return visit to the Outer Banks.

Ohana Hale Pet Friendly, hot tub, canal Front Home

FelisaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Beautiful home and setting- exactly as described. We didn’t have good luck with weather so the hot tub and area under the house were lifesavers. Probably the best stocked Airbnb we’ve stayed in and hosts are very responsive. I will mention that there are a lot of things that aren’t open this time of year, but there was enough for us to eat out a few times. Overall a great stay.

WAVES LANDING BEACH COTTAGE

CarrieRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Beautiful house, with great accommodations. We LOVED the hammocks, there are plenty of games and puzzles to keep everyone entertained on rainy days, and the pool and hot tub were fantastic. Beverly was a great host and gave helpful recommendations for area restaurants and things to do. She even checked in with us during our stay to make sure we were satisfied. We would definitely like to return!

High Tide’s Paradise

SallyRating, 5 stars8 months ago
This house was perfect for our family of seven. The house is very clean, cozy, and quaint with beautiful backyard having the Pamlico sound as their back drop. The kitchen came well equipped with everything we needed to make dinner every night. I liked that the house was one level. The owners were very pleasant and communicative before our arrival. Will definitely recommend to our friends and families.

Canal Front Cottage - Family & Pet Friendly!

KourtneyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a great stay! We visited outer banks for my mother’s birthday and she loved every minute. This home is very close to the Wright Brothers Memorial and all the nice beaches of the outer banks. All of their restaurant/eatery recommendations were spot on. Of note, if you are traveling with dogs, the neighbors on either side of the home have dogs and they are frequently barking. If you want a quick breakfast before heading out for the day, stop at the gas station down the road (TJs) they make a pretty egg and cheese on a biscuit!

Skystone View

MeredithRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Three friends and I stayed at Sheila's place for a long weekend for our annual reflection and intention-setting retreat. My friend had stayed there previously with her family, so we knew from her experience that it would be a gem. But the house and Sheila still completely blew away my expectations. The house and setting is absolutely stunning - amazing sunsets and views. Sheila was the perfect host and incredibly helpful with so, so many details. I can't recommend this place more. I hope to stay there again in the future.

Waterfront Oasis Pool Pet-Friendly Sale!

BethRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The house is in Duck. It was easy to find and the neighborhood amenities were lovely and well maintained. The house was well equipped and in good condition. The only updates needed are the outdoor cushions. The property manager was available and responsive and we were grateful for his quick and helpful responses. We hope to return soon!

Coastal living at Dock Landing!

JoanRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We enjoyed being in a quiet neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle of the beach traffic, but still being able to get anywhere that we wanted within 20-30 minutes. The view was wonderful and peaceful! Our 4 grandkids enjoyed the game room and there was lots of games to occupy their time. The house had everything that we needed, very well supplied! Cheryl was absolutely the perfect host! She checked on us upon arrival and during our stay to let us know that she was available if needed. This place is top notch, you will not want to leave! Already thinking of our next trip to Dock Landing!

The Calm Waves| Walk to beach, bars, restaurants

AndreaRating, 5 stars8 months ago
The calm waves is super cozy and has everything a family with young kids needs (including some toys and baby proofing). It is in a great location that feels very family friendly and short walk to the beach and restaurants. This was our second stay and we hope to visit again!

Our stay was pretty perfect! The views were amazing and the condo was comfortable. Easily accessible, very close to a lot of really great places like Swells’a Brewing brewery, which is a 5 minute walk. Gene was very responsive and helpful, he made the stay a breeze!

Island View - Waterfront Condo! Fully Updated!

JohnRating, 5 stars1 week ago
If we could leave 6 stars we would. The view was so amazing - we spent hours just looking out at the sound. We booked two extra nights and the host was very accommodating. The apartment was so clean and the furnishings were simple and modern. We cannot say enough about this apartment.

CABANA - HATTERAS NATIONAL SEASHORE

WillRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Private beach access and parking. We had a roof shell on our car so had to park in a spot that was just a few feet away from our condo. A local neighbor gave us the tip to park there. Quiet, beautiful, and you can hear the ocean from the deck 😍 Thanks John!

The say at ‘Sea Too’ was the most enjoyable, peaceful and relaxing stay I have ever had at Cape Hatteras. Beautiful sunrises, sunsets, and the perfect atmosphere. I really couldn’t have asked for more!
