Condo was in a great convenient location. Very spacious. We did a lot of sight seeing so didn’t spend a whole lot of time on site but it accommodated all of our needs!

The Beach Bum

CaitlynRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Our stay was great! The house has a really nice shower in the master bedroom and everything you would need in the kitchen. The house is also located on a quiet street with great places to take nice relaxing walks on the bayside and a free public beach on the oceanside.

Charming OBX Beach Bungalow in Southern Shores

NikkiRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Loved our recent stay at this beach house! The location is great, very close to the beach but felt private and secluded (on a quiet street). We drove to the beach with all our stuff, but could have also walked. No issues with finding parking at the beach, although we were here off-season in September. The house is very comfortable and had everything we needed to relax after a day at the beach (both inside and on the large deck). We grilled, had pizza delivered and drove a short distance to Duck for dinner a few nights. Had one rainy day where we enjoyed sitting in the screened in porch listening to music and playing games. Would recommend Laurie's place to anyone who enjoys charming beach houses (no bland, new build here): full of fun decorations, a spiral staircase and lots of charming personality!

CarolRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Loved our stay at this very comfortable house. They provided spices, olive oil, soaps, shampoos, 2 trash bags, a few dish pods, dish soap, coffee pods. Also had bowls for the dogs. Super close to the beach, nice quiet neighborhood. Hosts provided wonderful recommendations for restaurants and other things to do. Hot tub of course was amazing. There is a hose for showering off the dogs. Very dog friendly area. We would love to come back.

Forbes Fever-oceanfront, pool, sleeps 16 people

JodyRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Our family stayed over the NYE holiday and had a wonderful time. Everyone from the kids to the dogs to the adults enjoyed themselves. The kids loved the shuffle board table and the easy access to the beach. The elevator made it easy for my parents and for those of us who had tons of stuff to move up and down the stairs. There wasn't much counter space in the kitchen and only a couple of people could work on there at a time but we made it work with the use of the bar and other tables. There were 14 of us so we had to prepare a lot! The house was great for our fur babies as well. There were 5 dogs with us and the gated enclosure downstairs was perfect for them. The entryway deck has a latched gate too and the dogs liked sitting out there. I would definitely recommend this house and hope to stay there again!

Lucky You w/ Self-Check-in & Parking

AndrewRating, 5 stars5 days ago
We loved our week at Monika's place. We visted Cape Hatteras (the lighthouse is undergoing repairs), the Wright Brothers National Memorial, Jockey's Ridge State Park (beautiful sunset) and we did daily hikes around Nags Head Wood Preserve, which is a very short walk from the house. We also had some great food and enjoyed the available bicycles.

Oceanview,private POOL,AWESOME THEATER.Family Fun!

AmyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Great place. For its size and value, it literally has a ton of great features . The theatre room is amazing, especially with having kids. Has a beach volleyball court! The arcade has thousands of games and brought me back 25 years (Pac-Man, Mario, Galaga, Street Fighter, and 1,000’s more). We went when it typically would not be considered swimming weather, however, we had the option to have the pool heated at least a day or so before arriving and it made a huge difference and allowed for my girls and I to swim in early April (and I did jump in the ocean to compare and it was a 25-30 degree difference! Lol). The owner is very quick to respond, has the instructions available prior to arrival, recommendations for food, churches, , and activities. If you don’t mind a 3-5 minute stroll to the beach, it is honestly not that far away. Walmart, Target, Grocery stores, putt putt, dunes, Wings, fishing pier, are very close by. The aquarium was a 20 min drive but was worth it. Fun experience.

Obx condo 2 king bedrooms 2 full bathrooms w/pool

SarahRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Martin was a super responsive host. Anything we needed he was there to help. The place was gorgeous and in a really nice location. The unit was right next to the pool and tucked away from the main road. The pool was nice and it wasn't too crowded when we went. If you look really close you can see the ocean from the private balcony. Parking wasn't an issue for us. The beds were really comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed for our 3 day stay. Would 100% recommend staying here if you don't want to be right on the beach but close enough that it takes 3 minutes to drive the the beach access. Overall, this was the perfect place for our girls trip.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this condo at Manteo with my family! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the charm and comfort of the home. The space was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, providing clear check-in and check-out instructions and local recommendations that made our trip even more special. The location was perfect— beautiful views of sound and marsh, convenient yet peaceful, allowing us to unwind while still being close to nearby attractions. Highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting the area.

Your guide to Kitty Hawk

Introduction

Made famous by the Wright Brothers, whose celebrated flight put the area on the map in 1903, Kitty Hawk’s place in history often precedes its reputation as a quiet beach town. For the 3,500 people who live here, and those who’ve made the visit, it’s so much more than a landmark. As one of North Carolina’s barrier islands known collectively as the Outer Banks (or OBX), Kitty Hawk is a traditional seaside village with generous beach access, a small residential community supporting mom-and-pop businesses, and a vast forest reserve. The reasons the Wrights chose the area for their flight experiments — soft, sandy beaches; gentle hills; frequent breezes — make Kitty Hawk ideal for taking in the natural scenery, and welcome visitors to experience its local culture year-round.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Kitty Hawk

Kitty Hawk experiences a humid subtropical climate due to its position along the Gulf Stream. This means that there is little variance in precipitation from season to season, with hot, humid summers and mild winters. During the summer, the heat index can push temperatures to 88 degrees Fahrenheit, though Kitty Hawk’s naturally breezy air brings some welcome relief. During winter, temperatures seldom drop below the upper 30s, and typically hover in the 50s. The entire Outer Banks region is susceptible to hurricanes during tropical storm season (midsummer to early fall), so if you’re planning to book one of the area’s vacation rentals during this time, pay especially close attention to local weather forecasts, and keep a close eye on storm systems developing in the Gulf.


Top things to do in Kitty Hawk

Southern Shores

For decades, this area — which blends into Kitty Hawk’s northern border — was considered part of Kitty Hawk. It wasn’t until a land-parcel purchase in the 1940s that Southern Shores began to develop an identity of its own. These days, it’s a popular stopover thanks to its wonderfully quiet beaches, and quaint restaurants and shops.

Kill Devil Hills

Just south of Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills is a lively beach town lauded for its sandy beach, wealth of watersports (surfing and kiteboarding are particularly popular, given the wind), and nightlife. Most famously, Kill Devil Hills marks the spot where Orville and Wilbur Wright took their first successful flight, commemorated by the large Wright Brothers National Memorial in the heart of town.

Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve

More than half of Kitty Hawk’s geographical area comprises the Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve, an 1,890-acre maritime forest along the western border of the town. The topography varies from deciduous forest to freshwater wetlands, with plenty of critters — racoons, owls, river otters — to spot in between.
