Beachfront home rentals with a pool

Private Pool | Oceanview | Hot Tub | 6 BedRoom
Ashley was a GREAT host, very responsive and a caring host. Provided high chair requested, allowed an earlier check-in to help accomodate special needs child and was very concern when access lock was having problems and responsive. Problem was pribably our mittle hands tiuching all the numbers. Pool was extremely clean and as described in pictures and notes. Had family of 17, 8 adults and 9 kids ranging in age from newborn to 13. Bedrooms were good size to accomodate and all suites having own bathroom was wonderful for 5 families.

*New* Oceanside,Pool,Walk 2 the beach,No Stairs
The place was amazing, private, really close to the beach where you could see the horses Inside you had everything you need The only thing is they didn’t have bath wash and shampoo or conditioners Only dish detergent But besides that the place was equipped with all you need

Duck Oceanfront with Private Pool
The house, location, and everything about the stay was perfect. The house was very clean, and exactly as described. The pool and hot tub were both great and enjoyed by all. I keep thinking about the view from the living area of the ocean. Was definitely the most relaxing, stress-free vacation we've had in a long time, we'll be back!

Ocean Views, Game Room, Pool/HT & Pet Friendly
We loved the house! It was a perfect spot for myself, three children and our pup. Very clean, well-appointed and spacious. The pool and ping pong tables in the basement were a perfect downtime activity. The beach is very short stroll and the restaurants that we could walk to made the location even more ideal. We hope to return soon!

*Oceanside*Oceanfront Pool*2 Master Bedrooms*
Great spacious house, responsive hosts that seemed eager to fix issues.

Ocean view, near beach! Large pool/new hot tub
Place was equipped with everything needed for preparing meals, beach time, and chill time in the home. Places to eat and stores within walking distance. Heated pool and hot tub were awesome for the kids! No complaints, nice people and nice home and nice area!

Remodel! Pool. Hot tub. Fire pit. Steps to beach.
Amazing house, amenities and stay.

OceanFront! Amazing Views! priv pool, pets ok!
We enjoyed our vacation at this home very much. the description was accurate and the house very clean and well organized. We had to reach out to the host a few times and they were extremely responsive in a timely manner. The location of this house is awesome, grocery store and restaurants are just a short drive or walk. We enjoyed the 2nd story hot tub and the beach access was very convenient. The large recreational room on the 1st floor kept the kids entertained!! Overall, we had a fabulous week at this home and it was perfect for our large family.
Beachfront home rentals with a hot tub

Beach front Haven. Just 75 steps to Paradise.
Our stay was truly delightful- this was the perfect choice for my small family retreat. The rental is bright and clean as well as adorably decorated. Everything necessary and desirable for an enjoyable beach stay is supplied. (There's even an InstaPot!) The bedrooms, kitchen, and living area are very comfortable. The host, Gordon, is very friendly and helpful, which I really appreciated. I found it amusing that the pictures in the listing are highly accurate, yet still don't give a sense of how close the ocean actually is to the rental. IT'S RIGHT THERE!!! The waves are visible from the unit, and it takes only about two minutes to walk and find a wonderful spot on the beach- this was a real high point for us. We visited April 7-9, just before the season picks up due to warmer weather, but... we had the beach all to ourselves! Spending hours at a time playing on the beach was a dream come true for my 12 year old. Thanks to Gordon for hosting us! We would love to stay here again.

Easy Breezy beach house on secluded waterfront
Easy Breeze is a wonderful place to stay. Alex has made sure that even the smallest detail has been taken to make your stay exactly what you are looking for. This is our 2nd visit and while we were there, we booked our next vacation for a week in October! It's perfect if you want peace, quiet, fishing, kayaking, and many other water sports. Thank you, Alex

Relax, Chill, Breathe - 1 bed, spa, beach
Sure, here's a draft for your Airbnb review: I had a fantastic stay at this property! The close proximity to the beach and various activities made it the perfect location for a relaxing getaway. I especially enjoyed unwinding in the hot tub at night and cooking meals in the well-equipped kitchen. The house was clean and welcoming, making me feel right at home. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay.

Sof'Shell ~ Wide Beaches, Dog Friendly, Hot Tub
This house was just what we were looking for. Everything looked exactly like the pictures. It was right on the beach with beach access just one house over. We loved being able to walk back and forth from the beach whenever we wanted. The beach access also appears to be the only one in the area with a viewing platform which was great! Gorgeous deck views for ocean and sunrise watching. Hot tub worked great and amenities were as listed. Areca reached out and was available for questions. Wonderful weekend!

NEW! 3 bdrm condo w Private Hot Tub - "BEACH DUNE"
I will definitely stay here again! The host was extremely helpful and responsive when I had difficulty locating the place. Take the time to read the directions given in the booking - Google maps had me do something different. I loved the location and the clean home. It was nice having an inside that was comfortable and without the tacky beach decor. I loved the location’s proximity to shops, parks, the beach, and restaurants!

Newly Updated Beach House - Ocean View!
I can't say enough about Carrie's place... It was perfect for what we were looking for. There were still some Christmas decor remnants that made it even more cozy and special. The place is beautifully decorated and feels like home. Location was private and in an area that isn't TOO commercial, but still close enough to some great places that are walkable, including fine dining, great breakfast, golf... Oh, and the beach! Going to try to figure out when we can get back in slightly warmer weather... Looking forward to a re-visit!!! Thank you Carrie. 😊

Flip Flop Life is the Best Life
We had a great time at Flip Flop Life! The place was spotless and we felt right at home. There was plenty of space for 4 adults and a baby. We were close to great food, beach access, and we highly recommend checking out the sound park. Cathy was super friendly and helpful. I hope to visit again soon!

Luxury Water Front w Private Pool, Hot Tub & Dock
An absolutely amazing space to be with family and celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. The house has everything you need for a relaxing get away and the space is so quiet with spectacular views including gorgeous sunsets every night! Elissa was super communicative and the house was exactly as described. The decor is beautiful, beds are comfy, two refrigerators made it convenient for people on all levels, lots of space for everyone to have their own areas to unwind. Hot tub was awesome with such great views of the sound. Cannot wait to be back! Thank you for a memorable vacation for our family!

Ocean VIEWs, NEW, Direct Access, CLEAN + EZ Cart
We stayed here with our dog during the off season St.Patricks day week and loved it!! It was more house than we needed so we were mainly just on the top floor and it was a little too windy and cold to use all the porches so we'll have to come back and utilize all the great space. We appreciated the fenced in yard and the warning about sandspurs. Our dog was fine using it anyway and we just picked them off afterwards. Perfect location and beach access. We used it almost every day to walk the dog. Loved the pier is right there too! Very clean and comfortable house with great hosts who were very flexible and communicative. Great spot!!

Vitamin Sea
This listing is exactly what you see and is perfect for one or two people. I loved the decor, it was very quiet, and the walk to the beach is 5 minutes on the nose (I timed it). I had a few questions and the hosts were very friendly with a fast response time. I loved the outdoor shower to rinse all the sand off. I would stay again and highly recommend.

Laughing Whales - Not your average rental!
Great dog friendly rental in OBX! Having grass and a small fenced yard for late/early potty breaks was so convenient. Our dog relaxed right away on arrival, immediately getting a drink and dog biscuit from the provided bowls. What a rare treat to find a place so special for our four-legged family members. :-D Everything was very clean and comfortable and cozy. Loved reading in the sunroom. The house was stocked with more than we could possibly imagine needing in terms of food and supplies (so it's a bit cluttered and not a lot of space for your own items, but nothing you cannot work around). As others have said, definitely felt more like HOME than a rental and we truly appreciated that! Thanks for sharing your home and for a lovely getaway!

Historic Beach Cottage 700ft to ocean #singlestory
Loved this cozy historic flattop for our Thanksgiving weekend. Such cute artwork and decor, amazing fully-stocked kitchen, the best covered screen porch I’ve ever seen and a beautiful Christmas tree! We loved walking down the pretty quiet street to the beach access. Loved being able to bring our dog Molly to be with us for Thanksgiving. We all felt so comfortable and happy in this home… would definitely stay here again. Great easy access to Duck too.

Sea Captain's Cottage 3 (Oceanfront Cottage Court)
Cute little cottages built in the 1940's. Nice change from the new mega beach front properties. There were a couple other families staying in the other cottages. Was quiet setting and cottages were nice distance to the beach. Host was response to an issue we had while our stay.

Four Winds #1-pets,sleeps5,fooseballcoffeetable
I had a very enjoyable stay. The cottage was spotless, very clean, beds were comfortable, it was exactly how it is depicted and described. I needed a place to decompress after my dad’s funeral and this was just the place. I traveled with my German Shepherd and we were able to take long walks on the beach right across the street. The host was very responsive to any questions I had and communicated when the place was ready early. Would totally recommend.

OBX Dog-friendly Ocean Cottage 3- Steps to Beach!
Had a great time , steps from beach, the pool was super nice!!! Was offered hotdogs, cheeseburgers, and watermelon for 4th of July at no additional cost for everyone staying in cottages. AC worked great!!! It was record breaking heat and we where more than comfortable!!!

Casa de Calypso Unit B - Beachside, Dog Friendly!
This was our 4th year staying here, and we will be back next spring to make it 5 years. The house is great, comes equipped with a ytbing you could possibly need or want. Joseph wa very responsive with a couple questions we had for him. I definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a place to stay in OBX. The overall experience with the house and Joseph was top notch!
