Jockey Ridge State Park + Sound Beach + Hot Tub

ElizabethRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had the best stay at Jockey Ridge. Two adults, a 10yo and a dog. The space was beyond perfect, inside and out! The location was EXACTLY what we hoped for and more. The host was as fantastic as the property. Her attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed. We forgot a couple things, and to our surprise, it was included. Sound machine, etc. even poop bags for the dog! And a chew bone waiting for him outside. She made our vacation seamless. Not to mention being able to walk out the door and hike the beautiful sand dunes. Our 10yo loved sand boarding on a boogie board that she provided. We tried all the restaurants she suggested, and more. They were all a hit. What a special place! We booked it from what we saw online, out of hundreds of other locations, and something drew us to this place. And in person, it was better than we could have ever imagined. We hope to do it again next year, and maybe a couple times in between, too! Thank you Jockey Ridge. You made memories forever!

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 Coastal Studio

Kimberly And JeremyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Landing here made the drive through Nags Head and Kitty Hawk so worthwhile! Waking up from a very comfortable sleep to this amazing view every morning is indescribable:). The loft had everything we needed for our 3 nights there and the location was perfect. Several places are seasonal, so do your homework, but we had no problem finding a good meal:). Plan ahead also if you want to see the horses.

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.

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!

The Salty Shoebox OBX Oceanfront.

KatherineRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Wonderful views and easy access to the water. Good place with young children. (We had a toddler and a baby as part of our group.) The sitting area in the master suite was a great place to play board games and chat in the evenings without disturbing the little ones sleep. Great deck with sturdy chairs of the correct height to see the ocean over the railing. Lots of restaurants nearby and grocery stores and even a Target less than 2 miles away.

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!

SusanRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We stayed at this house for a long weekend. It was a girls trip for my mom’s 86th birthday. We loved everything about the house! We had a rainy first day… But it didn’t bother us a bit! We stayed in our PJs in your lovely top floor and watched movies! Lisa was very helpful and answered any question I had quickly. We all agree that we would definitely stay here again!

The North Shore House- OBX

MarioRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Our stay at No Worries was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by breathtaking 360-degree views of the Roanoke Sound. The sunsets alone are worth the trip; truly a picture-perfect moment every evening. The home is spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed to accommodate a larger group comfortably. The two waterfront master bedrooms were a dream, offering peaceful views to wake up to each morning. For those of us who needed to catch up on a little work, the dedicated workspace and strong Wi-Fi were perfect. Self check-in was seamless, and Kelly’s hospitality as a Superhost shined through in every detail. If you’re looking for a peaceful, scenic getaway with all the comforts of home and more, No Worries is the place to be. We can’t wait to return, highly recommended!
