The Sea Perch~ Cozy 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
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

Foster Your Dreams: 5 min walk to beach, MP 8.7
We had a great family stay here-the location is great for quick walks to the beach and the neighborhood was quiet and perfect for bikes rides!

Beach House with Private Hot tub & Firepit!
This Airbnb was the prefect place for a weekend getaway for my fiancé and I. We both have pretty hectic schedules this year between work, moving house and wedding planning! This home provided us with privacy, comfort and near by food and activities to enjoy during our stay. We want to thank the host's of this Airbnb for allowing us to relax and enjoy a moment away from our busy lives.

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* Pet Friendly Community Pool, Cottage KDH
We have stayed at this air bnb before and we loved it last year for valentines and my wife’s birthday weekend. Whitney remembered us and we booked it immediately. We love this location in kill devil hills due to the location to all our favorites restaurants and shopping and you could not ask for a nicer cleaner, just roomy cozy place. Come back from a day of shopping and restaurants and private back fence yard and wonderful hot tub. Just awesome. Wonderful host!

The Swingin' Dinghy: Hot Tub, Surf, Oceanfront
Perfect “get away” for our group of 5 and puppy. The location was close enough to restaurants, and shops, but far enough to get away from the busy part of Nags Head. The house was beautiful! We loved how much it felt like a home! Check in was easy, and the house was very clean. It had everything we needed and more! We didn’t plan on cooking during this trip, but the kitchen had everything, in case we did. The view was great, and at night, you could see every star in the sky. The beach was just steps away and beach chairs were already provided. Hot tub, outdoor shower, smart TVs in every room…they even had a crate with a pillow made up for our 19 pound puppy! There are so many great things to say about The Swingin’ Dinghy! We’d love to stay here again, the next time we visit Nags Head! Thank you so much Ashley & Bridget! You are awesome hosts! We appreciate how responsive you were when we had any questions!

Hot Tub + Dog Friendly Central KDH The MOON Tower
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.

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
Our stay at the Flat Top exceeded our expectations. Unassuming from the outside, you are transported when you walk in to a place that feels like home. From the extremely clean and inviting indoors to the spacious outdoor fenced-in area and the lively screened in porch, this is at the top of our list as one of our favorite stays. Not to mention, how close it was to the beach. We woke up daily to see the sunrise. We cooked in the kitchen and had all the amenities and accouterments needed. This place is perfect for pets and our dogs enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Dustin has been very responsive throughout and even let us know right away after we checked out that we'd forgotten something behind. Great attention to detail in the place and so many little nice touches to make you feel like home. Throughly enjoyed our time and would absolutely come back again.

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!

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!

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

OBX Tree House (Avon, NC)
The OBX treehouse was a great place to stay in OBX! Short walk to the beach, nice updates and very clean upon arrival. We very much enjoyed our stay!

Oceanside/Short walk to🏖/Fenced Yard/Dog friendly🐾
Great location, only a five minute walk to the beach and you can hear the waves while sitting on the top deck. The house had everything we needed. It was perfectly decorated and very comfortable for lounging after the day's adventures. The fenced in back yard was perfect for our family with dogs, and included a picnic table next to the grill which was perfect for seafood eating. Bikes were great and many other beach necessities for the summer months. Brian provided very detailed instructions and suggestions for restaurants and more. Great place!

Quaint Beach Cottage in 4WD-OBX
We stayed in the off season, and the houses nearby were unoccupied. It was wonderfully quiet and peaceful. The house was perfect and Kimberly was very friendly and communicative. We’ll definitely rent this house again!

The Cottage at Muddy Creek
It is not Roberta and Frank's fault, but some road signs are not in place. It took us a while, to drive around and try to figure out where we were, on our way to Lauren Lane from US 17. The area is quite beautiful, peaceful, and a sanctuary for wildlife - just what we like. We also like seeing the surrounding farmland. While the cottage is great, there is one negative. Since there are no bedroom walls, all the interior light is all around inside, like a motel room. All the electronics and appliances have very bright lights, which shine around the room at night.

Escape to Avalon | Exquisite Outer Banks Casita
Maria’s cozy little house was very comfortable, and we especially enjoyed the backyard and her beautiful paintings. The beach is nearby, though it’s best to drive due to a busy intersection. The Wright Brothers’ Museum is just a short drive away, and Maria was incredibly helpful in recommending places to visit.

Cedar Island cottage, short walk to beach
Great location for a slow, beach getaway with my family. We especially enjoyed the lovely, breezy porch and the beautiful, wooded location. Walking to the beach and to the ferry was easy. We appreciated all the extra amenities: beach chairs, puzzles and kitchen equipment. We would probably pack more water for drinking next time, but the little store had everything we needed. The drive onto the island, while truly stunning in many places, reminded us that our country is deeply divided and it will be a relief when the election is over.

Outer Banks Cottage, Steps to Ocean, No Pets
Beautiful place! Close to the beach and the main road. My family enjoyed some of the activities the hosts have available like the outdoor fireplace and the bicycles. Definitely will book with them again.

Albemarle Sound cottage with awesome views!
From beginning to end this cottage is off the charts. Cute, unique, functiinal, confortable, well organized, thoroughly supplied and the location is private and beautiful.

Adorable 2 BR Cottage in Swan Beach- 4WD required
My first trip to outer banks since I was a child some 50 years ago. Place was just as described, and Joseph seems to be a first class guy. Very responsive to messages, usually in minutes. Place was well equipped (beach chairs, coolers, surfing / snorkeling gear, etc..) You could basically show up and only need to buy food & your beverage of choice. Our place was at the smaller end of the scale, which was exactly what we wanted. Well worth the price, and when we go back, I’ll certainly be reaching out to Joseph. Also, regarding the horses, not a single day went by without us seeing them, especially driving along the beach at night. I’m convinced we saw them more than the folks on the paid tours. One word of advice: Bring a capable 4 wheel drive vehicle! You’ll see nothing but sand & water for miles once you leave the blacktop.

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
Swell Life is a great place to stay on the OBX. We will definitely be back. We really enjoyed being able to take our pup, he loves the beach. Swell life has everything you need to enjoy your vacation.
