The Sea Perch~ Stylish Beachbox with Hot Tub!
Very nice for a girls weekend get away. The neighborhood was quiet, and conveniently located to the things we wanted to do.

Easy Breezy beach house on secluded waterfront
Comfortable house with fantastic water view. We enjoyed watching the eagles and osprey and seeing the stars at night.

Foster Your Dreams: 5 min walk to beach, MP 8.7
Beautiful location!! The host was quick with responses and very safe area. The location is very close to the public access. Will be back in the future!!

OBX Beach House *Heated Pool&Hot Tub* in Duck
This is our 2nd stay here, and we have loved both visits! The kids love the pool, we love to walk to the beach and to town. Such a great house in a great location!

Seahorse Shanty
Kendra and Tim have thought of everything a guest might need or want for a perfect beach vacation! Awesome outdoor shower, hose to rinse off feet after a day at the beach, super comfy beach chairs (and plenty of them!), beach umbrellas, beach toys, and beach towels - truly everything! Additionally, the decor is beautiful and light-filled and Seahorse Shanty includes a fully-stocked kitchen. It’s a short and easy 5-minute walk to a beautiful beach (far less crowded than public access beaches), and you can hear the waves at night with the bedroom window open. We had a perfect stay and were so sad to leave. HIGHLY recommend!

Beach House with Private Hot tub & Firepit!
Shane‘s house is a very nicely decorated small home. The beds were really comfy. The kitchen, perfect and very well equipped. Everything was lovely. And we took advantage of the beautiful weather eating on the front deck. Never got around to the jacuzzi though. The neighborhood is very pleasant as are the neighbors. All in all our stay was just what we wanted. Would definitely recommend staying at Shanes house. Thank you Shane.

Kitty Hawk Cottage w/ HotTub, Fire pit, Ocean View
Pictures don't really do it justice. It is much brighter and lighter inside than shown on Airbnb. Very cute house, would consider it again for future bookings. Back yard is an oasis and the hot tub is a perk!

Hot Tub + Dog Friendly Central KDH The MOON Tower
We had a wonderful stay with our family and dogs at Allison’s place! It was so clean, especially for being dog friendly. We decided to drive to the beach and it was less than 2 minutes away. We enjoyed being able to walk our dogs around the neighborhood on the sound side. Can’t wait to come back and stay!

SALTY SAM's~Great for families, walk to sunsets
Had a great stay at Maria and Steve's! Place was clean and as listed. Only tricky part was the house is across the highway from the beach access which meant having to drive and find parking or cross a very busy road.

Classic Flat Top, Beach 3 min walk, Pets Stay Free
We had a great stay at the Flattop! The house was immaculately clean, had tons of great amenities, and Dustin was very communicative during our stay. We enjoyed the short walk to the public beach access and easy drives to many of the Outer Banks attractions and restaurants. Our dogs loved the fenced in backyard and the screened in front porch. Overall a great find that made for a wonderful vacation.

Juhl of the Sea
Awesome location for exploring the entire Outer Banks! This place is the perfect combination of comfort and convenience. The house has everything you need for a fun get away; beach gear, bikes, fishing poles, crab pod, etc. We loved having the “starter set” of toilet paper, dish soap. Laundry soap and trash bags. It was just what we needed to settle in quickly until we had time to run to the store to restock. The yard was a great size and our pup had plenty of room to run. The neighborhood was quiet and had great side streets for walking and bike riding. We loved that we could quickly get to stores, landmarks, beaches, and parks. One note: the windows are totally see through at night-use the curtains. In the morning, the birds throw themselves at the windows at their reflections. It sounds like someone is knocking on the doors or windows- it’s just the birds, LOL, and if you open the curtains you get an awesome close up view of all of the birds and squirrels. We loved our stay!

Cozy 2 bedroom beach cottage — Dogs Welcome!
We had a wonderful peaceful break from life in kitty hawk. The cottage was clean and quiet and well provisioned for a home. The area was close (less than 5 minute drive) to the beach. It was convenient to restaurants, parks and shopping. A great place for a get away.

Duck Cottage w/ pool and 5 min walk to beach
Even with all the rain during our beach week, we had a great time at this dog-friendly cottage. The screened-in porches made catching up with family outside bug free. Nice pool, corn hole and hammock were nice to have as well. Short walk down quiet unpaved street to beautiful beach. So many restaurants & activities nearby!

Direct Beach & Pier Access, Clean & Renovated + EZ
The bungalow was just perfect for my husband and I and our dog! Quick walk to the beach, which was so beautiful during the Spring! Fun restaurant just a 2 minute walk from the cottage! We didn’t cook but there was a full oven/range and just about everything you’d need to prepare meals. The hosts are very proactive and included great recommendations and instructions throughout the bungalow. As noted in the description, it is a small beach bungalow. Great for couples, especially if you like to vacation with your dog!

MoreBeachTime
Great place to stay. Very nice and clean!!! Great location!!! Nice community!!

OBX Tree House (Avon, NC)
The OBX Tree House was a GREAT spot for a family spring break vacation. It honestly couldn't have been anymore rejuvenating, relaxing and recharging. We already can't wait for our next trip to the OBX ❤️

Outer Banks Cottage, Steps to Ocean, No Pets
My coworkers and I came for a beach week and had the best time here!!!! This was the perfect place to stay and exceeded our expectations. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. They have a cute and delicious açaí place next door that we enjoyed every morning. The home was clean and conveniently right next to the beach. I could not recommend this space more to stay at! We hope to come back!

“Crew’s Quarters” at Captain’s Choice Cottages
Greg’s listing is just as described. Very comfortable and cozy with everything we needed for a full week at the beach. Beds were comfortable and everything was so clean and fresh. The kitchen had anything we needed to make our own meals. The fenced in yard for our pup was a real benefit! He loved it! Sitting on the front porch early in the mornings, sipping coffee with that good salt air and hearing the waves was incredibly peaceful and beautiful. Beach access is just across the street. We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you for a much needed break from the business of a full life! We’d like to come back and stay again!

Charming cottage close to the beach & woods in KDH
We had an amazing stay at Katie's cottage! The cottage was cozy, clean, and in a fantastic location. It's tucked slightly away from the main drag, offering a private feel and is a quick drive to the beach. It's also conveniently located down the street from Nags Head Woods Preserve, where we enjoyed a long hike. Katie's on-site guidebook led us to several local restaurants, coffee shops and Jennette's Pier where we saw about a dozen manta rays! Finally, Katie was incredibly accommodating when we decided to extend our trip by a day. Overall she is such a sweet and a fantastic host. We would absolutely stay at Katie's again, and can't recommend her cottage enough!

*Hot-Tub* Pet Friendly Community Pool, Cottage KDH
My husband, dog, and I had an amazing stay here! The house was spotless and well stocked with everything we needed. We accidentally locked ourselves out the first day and Whitney came to our rescue within 10mins! Location was very convenient and the neighborhood was nice. EV charger in the garage was also a big plus for us!

Sea Life Cottage
This a great little gem of a space. We loved it for our family. It was conveniently located to the ocean side, stores and a great spot to watch the sunset!

100 Year Old Cottage! Simple, Rustic, Charming
This historic beach cottage is in a peaceful, beautiful neighborhood. It’s centrally located, so it was a quick ride to visit friends in Duck, as well as my favorite restaurants in Kitty Hawk, KDH, and Nags Head. I was traveling with my dog, and Ginger had toys/treats ready for her after our long drive from Connecticut. I will definitely book again next time I’m in town.

"Swell Life" Cozy Oceanside Cottage, Walk to Ocean
Drew’s space was the perfect spot for an Outer Banks adventure! Being able to walk to the beach and swimming next to a shipwreck was amazing. It was also a great location to get to other parts of the island. When we got there and realized that some linens were missing, Drew was on it and remedied the situation immediately and was very helpful. I highly recommend the Swell Life and we can’t wait to be back!

Historic Lennon Cottage at the Mother Vine
We stayed at John and Kerry's house during Thanksgiving weekend. The house is wonderful and very comfortable with all the amenities. We watched movies, played games, and cooked a lot and the house has everything one needs for all of that. Beds and linen are comfortable. It feels like being home. The house is in front of the historic Mather Vineyard and it is wonderful to be able to walk around the neighbor. A great stay that is highly recommended.
