Vacation rentals in Southern Shores

Meredith’s place has everything you need for your stay. The location is excellent, the view is pretty and there are lovely sunsets. Duck has a boardwalk where you can walk along by the Sound and plenty of interesting shops. All the restaurants we tried close by were good. We didn’t use all the amenities as we visited out of season but there’s a lot for just about anyone to enjoy during their stay. The only downside to our stay - and not Meredith’s fault - was an unusual giant cloud of midges which settled outside the house so we had to run the gauntlet through them! They don’t bite or anything, just annoying and we heard from locals it was an unusually large number. Hopefully they’ll be gone for the next visitors! If asked, we would definitely recommend Meredith’s home. It’s a really lovely place.

This is a peaceful and private gem. Good spot if you want to spend the day in OBX and come back to a quiet place in a nice neighborhood. The loft is not huge but every detail is planned so well that it ends up feeling much bigger. I loved how modern and updated everything was. Because the bunk beds don’t have a fully enclosed space, bring a noise machine if you want to create an added “sound barrier” between the bunk beds nook and the living room, if you plan to be up and watching TV etc after your kids go to sleep. I used a noise machine app on my phone that worked well. We really enjoyed our time here!

Wonderful home for creating family memories. Home was beautiful, bright, and full of thoughtful touches that made it so comfortable - kitchen stocked with everything needed to make family meals, including space for everyone to prepare and cook together; warm, fuzzy blankets to curl up on couch or in bed; porch and backyard firepits; deck areas with rocking chairs. Great location - walk to beach, grocery store, restaurants. Hosts have done an amazing job creating the perfect family vacation home.

This was a fantastic house for our family (six teenagers ~ three boys, three girls). There were bedrooms and beds such that almost everyone had their own bed. (two girls had to share a king which was perfectly fine). The kitchen was well stocked, there were ample paper goods (paper towels, tissues, toilet paper) and coffee pods to get you started. Each bathroom had a hair dryer and Tresemme shampoo/conditioner along with Dove body wash so you could pack at little lighter. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of room at the table/on the couch for all 8 of us (often when we rent houses the table/couches don't seat all of us at once). The house was very close to Wright Brothers Memorial, Jockey's Ridge, good restaurants, ice cream and grocery stores. We've stayed at the OBX five times in the last 5 years and this spot was the most convenient and comfortable. If it had a pool table it would be impossible to beat.

Outstanding stay. Great location. Quiet. Quick access to beach. Great pool for use. Short drive to local infrastructure (must eat: lighthouse bagels!). Proactive and well communicating host Lisa. Overall highly recommended. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

The home was very clean, organized, spacious enough for two. We enjoyed our stay and the communication was very thorough and proactive.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Velvet Oyster. Lovely and tastefully decorated 2 br 2 bath condo on the 2nd floor of a community of condos. Well-stocked kitchen. Bathrooms include shampoo, conditioner, and soap dispensers. Lots of windows throughout make it well lit, yet with privacy from all the mature trees. Lovely balcony overlooking trees and an inlet of the Sound. 5-minute drive door to door to the 1st street public beach access. We found street parking easily (off-season in April). Close to Publix and Food Lion, and all amenities. The neighbors were not audible except for occasional footsteps. Yuliya was wonderful and communicated very well with us. My 2 kids asked to stay again at our next visit to OBX!

We absolutely loved our stay at Kearney Castle and we will definitely be back. The rental was in the perfect location and the views of the ocean were perfection. I love that the owners allow us to bring our dogs. They loved the beach too! The hosts recommendations for local restaurants were spot on. We loved Mulligans and Noosa Beach Grille. The deck was awesome also. we visited off season but the street was quiet and the beach was mostly empty, which we loved for the dogs! The house isn't brand new but that's what we loved. We loved the handwritten note instructions on the fridge and the sea shell shelf as a guest book of memories for all the past guests!

We had a very relaxing stay at this home! It was charmingly decorated and had enough space for 4 of us to spread out. Communication was clear and the hosts were responsive. The home was well located, convenient to quite a few restaurants within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.
