Townhouse in Duck

Waterfront Stunning Beach Home with Amazing View

LyndaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

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.

Frank and Martha’s place is super cute. The lake is beautiful and peaceful. The house has lots of open space and is a short drive to all the essentials. Frank’s and Martha were very communicative and accommodating leading up to my stay. Highly recommend!

Loft in Kitty Hawk

FAMILY FRIENDLY LOFT APARTMENT IN SOUTHERN SHORES

EricaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

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!

Southern Shores Personal Resort

MelanieRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Without a doubt one of the best places we have stayed in. Alan was easy to communicate with and super responsive . The house was beautiful and in a peaceful area. Neighbors were wonderful. Kitchen was easy to cook meals in and had everything we needed. Beds were clean and comfortable, showers were hot and towels were fluffy! The sound was a walk down the driveway and had great sunsets. Beach access was less than a 8 minute drive. Beach towels and all things you need were available. Pool was perfect and clean. The canal at the back of the house was great and lots of wildlife to hang out with. We would without a doubt come back again!! Just loved this place so much!! Thank you Alan for making our vacation so stress free and enjoyable!!

Hot Tub | Stunning 5 Bdrm Beach Home | 3 King Beds

KristiRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

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.

CheriRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Tony and Jeanne were wonderful, responsive hosts and their house was perfect! It was beautifully decorated, with comfortable furniture and an amazingly well stocked kitchen! The view from the back porch across the water was so peaceful. Check in was easy and the location was just right. We visited the area to see the swans and snow geese as they gather in their wintering location and were treated to quite a display! Thousands of birds at Lake Mattamuskeet and Pungo Lake! We would love to come again and stay in this house, in warmer weather or cold! Well worth the trip! Thank you Tony and Jeanne!

Welcome to Velvet Oyster on the Outer Banks!

KananRating, 5 stars1 week ago

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!

Vacation Retreat - 3-Bedroom/Den waterfront home.

CathleenRating, 5 stars4 months ago

The family met at Jim’s place to celebrate an early Christmas together. There was room for all of us. The kitchen contained all the necessary essentials. The town of Washington provided excellent choices for a dinner or two. I don’t doubt my choice in choosing Jim’s airbnb!

Sandy Beach Bungalow

AliciaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We loved our short stay here! What a great update they've made to a unique beach space! This was perfect for our small group, and is right across the street from the beach. Tons of restaurants, bars, and stores within walking distance, or easy biking distance. (there were also two bikes there for use!) Host was SUPER responsive when we had questions. As another guest review suggested, the front patio area is great for hanging out and even better, the bedroom tv can be turned so you can watch it through the bedroom window perfectly. We will definitely plan to be back again!

I wish we had more time here! I hesitate to say it felt “homey” because sometimes that’s a euphemism for something else. But this place is truly homey; you instantly feel at ease and welcome! I would highly recommend staying here if you’re in the area!

We had such a wonderful stay! Everything we needed (especially the beach) was close by. The house was clean and spacious. When the coffee machine wasn't working, they replaced it almost immediately! Would definitely stay again.
