4.99 out of 5 average rating, 76 reviewsHeated pool! Close to the Beach, Large Yard
Spacious home with high end furniture, window treatments and other amenities. Incredibly outfitted kitchen with multiple small appliances and cookware. Bedrooms were huge and beautifully decorated. Four full bathrooms and one half bath made it convenient for all of us. Pool was a huge hit with our family. Convenient mini kitchen on ground floor was a great addition! Neighborhood was so beautiful, private, and nice to walk.

My group and I had a great time! The house was comfortable & clean and had everything we needed. David was accommodating to requests, and made sure our questions were answered in a timely manner. The beach is only a couple minute walk, and the sunrise and sunsets are beautiful from all of the windows in the home. Would love to come back and utilize all of the outdoor seating on the porches! Overall a great experience.

What a find! We wanted to take a last hurrah of summer trip and this place was perfect! It is clearly so well cared for by the owners and well equipped to host our family with beach stuff, an awesome pool, and even some surprise toys and books we found in a closet that my little girls delighted in. Loved the location and would book again if it’s available! The hosts were very responsive and ready to make sure we had a wonderful trip.

We had a wonderful week here in December! The house is exactly as pictured, and the heated pool was a definite plus this time of year. We really appreciated all the detailed instructions around the house as well. The location was perfect for us…very close to the beach and the Ocracoke ferry. James responded quickly to the minor questions we had. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone wanting a peaceful Outer Banks getaway.

I recently stayed at this wonderful Airbnb for my sisters’ bachelorette trip and it was a fantastic experience! The house was incredibly cozy and clean. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to downtown, where you’ll find plenty of shopping and delicious restaurants. Additionally, the host was incredibly responsive and helpful, ensuring that all my needs were met during my stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient getaway!

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!

4.78 out of 5 average rating, 145 reviewsCharming OBX Beach Bungalow in Southern Shores
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!

Destination OBX was a great house for our crew of 13! We swam in the pool and the ocean almost daily. October really is a wonderful time to visit OBX. The house was spacious and clean. Having the kitchen and dining on the top floor was ideal for entertaining then heading down stairs for games. Fishheads Grill is an easy 1 mile walk on the beach from Barbara’s rental and even closer, the beach access from the house is a stones throw. We loved having bikes for the older kids to bike to the pier and boogie boards for fun in the ocean. Finally, there are great sunrise and sunset views. Would definitely love to come back!

I can’t possibly put into words the experience we had. From the time I booked till checkout. Communication was quick. Answered each every one of my questions. And trust me I asked a lot. Was checking in to make sure we were good. Check in was easy breezy. House is nice and spacious. We were a family of 12 and made out great. The kids loved having the whole bottom level. They weee close to the hot tub. Kitchen had a nicely stocked little pantry. We cooked our Thanksgiving dinner with ease. We were able to find all pots, pans and even storage containers we needed already supplied. The gas fireplace was my favorite. Really warms up the top floor nicely. The views from the deck of the sunrises were amazing. I just can’t say enough. Other than we will definitely be going back.

This place was just like home. Very comfortable furniture and beds. Kitchen was very well stocked and had everything we had for cooking meals all week. Wished the dune was just a little lower so you could see the ocean, but it was nice to be able to hear it and to be able to quickly access the beach.

I booked this home for a NYE celebration with family and our stay could not have been more perfect! Sasha’s home is lovey, warm and inviting, with innovative designs that provide a modern yet cozy atmosphere. The kitchen was stocked with everything I needed to prepare dinner and brunch. Games were available, and limited televisions allowed us to “unplug” and be in the moment. Sasha was responsive and accommodating. Her home truly felt like a home away from home. I cannot wait to come back!!! ✨

Perfect for 2 families to stay over Thanksgiving. Plenty of space, 3 mins walk to the beach for sunrise & strolls, well stocked kitchen, lots of seating, peaceful surroundings and we really enjoyed watching sunset from the Village Tavern at the end of the road. Tracey was really helpful. We’d love to come back again sometime!

Lucky You is a fantastic Airbnb, and Monika is a wonderful hostess! The house was exceptionally clean and tastefully decorated. The mattresses were really comfortable; the kitchen was well supplied and all appliances worked; the bathrooms were lovely with plenty of hot water for showers. We were so pleased that various cupboards were left empty and available to store our belongings. The back yard was secluded and contained areas to relax as well as eat. Monika went above and beyond for guest comfort, and we will definitely be happy to stay here again!
