The Dock
The space was lovely and very clean. The view out the window over the sound was excellent, and we could go downstairs for great sunsets on the dock. We enjoyed walking distance to everything - beach, shops, restaurants. Erin was very responsive and flexible to our needs.

Ocean Front Beach House Kearney Castle
We had a great three night stay, my three adult children and I. The beach was surprisingly almost ours to ourselves. For an older traditional OBX house, it was well updated and very well appointed. The central floor plan is very open. I love it when you can be in the kitchen cooking while talking to everybody in the living area and those around the dinner table at the same time. Awesome view of the ocean off the back deck. We sat in the hot tub and still see the ocean. Im sometimes leary of hot tubs at the beach, a lot of times they are not well maintained. Danielle's was spotless and the water chemistry was perfect and safe. There was absolutely nothing we needed or any place where we needed to go that was not within a 5-minute drive. All of my family are fisherman. if you like to fish, there's not a better place to stay. getting from the house to the beach to surf fish takes less than a minute. we walked up to the OBX Pier several times to fish, probably less than a 5 minute walk.

*Pet Friendly*Island Beach Shack with Pool!
Hands down my favorite stay in the OBX, great location, perfect for my puppy, can walk to the beach, local convenience store/food. Host was amazing gave me great recommendations!

Cozy Beach House 4BR, Hot tub, Pets OK
Great place to access both beach and sound. Both walking distance and private great communication with the owner and friendly response. Wish it was not in front of highway though. This was the only negative aspect of our stay but no fault of the owner or house.

A Stones Throw
We loved our time at A Stones Throw - perfect location across from a beautiful beach access, we loved all the outdoor decks and porches, comfortable furniture on each level, and beds were comfy. Huge table in living space for family dinner and games. We enjoyed the pool one day and the hot tub and also roasted marshmallows at the fire pit. It was a a really nice visit.

Historic Beach Cottage 700ft to ocean #singlestory
We absolutely loved our stay in southern shores! This lovely cottage is a 2 min stroll to the beach on a quiet dead end road and a 10 min bike ride into the town of duck! We enjoyed the peaceful beach as well as the wonderful screened in porch to start and end each day! The beach toys and bikes were a great addition! We can’t wait to come back for another visit!

Ocean View, Family Cottage Located on Beach Road
This cottage was SO cute. It is in a good location with a very short walk across the street. The street is not super busy because it’s not the main busy road going through town. The cottage was clean, comfortable beds, shower amenities provided and even coffee pods. Sarah was SO nice and responsive to questions we had. We would stay here again.

ALoHA BEaCHeS,3-night min in season. Pet$0, beach!
Excellent place to stat at OBX! Everything was as described. Excellent location close to plenty of things to do. Excellent hosts all around!
Beachfront home rentals with a pool

Scarborough Lane Hideaway - Beach, Pool, Bikes!
The place was exactly what we were looking for. We were in town for the Jazz Fest which was across the street, so it was perfect. The beach was a little bit of a walk, but wasn't the primary reason for our visit so it was fine. The place is really cute and comfortable.

Turtle Tides - Oceanfront Penthouse Retreat
Beautiful condo that is right on the water. The view from the balcony is worth staying at this condo. There is easy beach access and the condo is clean. It is the perfect size and location for a beach getaway. Gene is extremely friendly and responsive as well.

Heathsville OBX - 100 steps to the beach!
We cannot say enough great things about our stay! Believe all of the amazing reviews— there is definitely a reason Pat and Chuck have so many! Pat was extremely welcoming and began communicating prior to our stay. She was prompt and was waiting for us when we pulled in. Chuck was just as friendly and so easy to sit and have conversations with. They welcomed you in with open arms. The place was so clean and smelled wonderful! It may not be the biggest of spaces, but it was perfect for two and Pat literally thought of EVERYTHING you could need during your stay. Forgot your toothpaste? She’s got it. Forgot your sunscreen? She’s got it. Need a beach chair or extra towel? She’s got those too! Need a snack? There’s plenty and a couple drinks also! Looking for recommendations of things to do, places to eat, etc? She’s got folders with everything for you to look through. We cannot wait to visit again! Hands down the best Airbnb experience we have ever had. Thanks again Pat & Chuck!!

Special Sale! NEW Luxury Oceanfront, Heated Pool
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Brian is an excellent host. The home was very clean and neat. The kitchen is the most well stocked kitchen I've had the pleasure of using at an Airbnb. The location is great. The beach is very nice and was not very busy. We hope to come back soon!

Remodel! Pool. Hot tub. Fire pit. Steps to beach.
Great location and home for our friends with family trip! The pool and backyard was the perfect hangout and the beach was a quick walk away. Very comfortable for 3 families all with kids! Grateful our fur babies could join as well! Travis was very communicative and helpful. Highly recommend this spot!

Sounds Groovy OBX: Waterfront Home w/ Dock
We had a wonderful stay… the OBX is now our favorite vacations spot! Sounds Groovy was Awesome with wonderful and responsive hosts.

Pool | Stunning Ocean View | Balcony | MP 9
We spent this past week here for our honeymoon. Beautiful space, very clean, amazing view. Plenty of things to do in the area as well. Very clear check in and out instructions. We would definitely come back and stay again (maybe this time when it’s a little warmer and the pool is open)

Changing Tides in Duck, NC, OBX
Absolutely beautiful, clean house. Joy was great with response and accommodation. View was beautiful and everything was as described. Thank you for memories.

Oceanfront Nags Head Beach House - with extras!
We have stayed in lots of Airbnb’s and this is my favorite! The house was spotless. It is decorated beautifully… and comfortably. It looks like a better homes and gardens beach house. Clearly Carrie pays attention to details. The kitchen is very well stocked. She even provided a new sponge for dishes. The views are fantastic and the access to the beach was so much fun. Carrie has lots of games, a myriad of books, and toys for kids. The house felt homey and so comfortable. We had a wonderful family trip!

Beach Haven 4~ Where Waves meet Relaxation!
We stayed here as a „relaxing-spot“ during our east-coast-roadtrip. It was such a wonderful stay, we really enjoyed the short time here, not just the the beach nearby but also the whole beach-haven-area with all the beautiful small detail we felt in love with. especially the sun-deck, the porch swing and all the cute decorations - not to forget the the cute dogs!! :) we approciated the bycicles for our daily sunset-tour. Thank you Shelly and Jason -Tobi & Anna

Your Oceanfront Oasis Awaits You! Walk In Shower!
This listing is an unbeatable location - literally on the beachfront. We enjoyed the beautiful sunrise over the ocean each day from the large sliding glass door windows in the bedroom. The morning light is awesome. We were entertained by merely sitting on the comfortable balcony watching the sea life (dolphins!) and the shore birds, the boats, the beach walkers and wind surfers. So peaceful in April. The place is well appointed, just as described in the listing, and the host is responsive. We appreciated all of the information provided by the host for restaurants and local attractions. The location is excellent for access to many food and entertainment options, but is just far enough from the "main drag" to feel private and quiet. If we should pass this way again, we will look no further for accommodations - for we have found "our place" in the Outer Banks.

Cuddy Cottage: Cozy Tiny Beach Cottage, One Block
We loved our stay here at the cottage! It was so cozy and made us feel like home. Also very clean which I greatly appreciated. The location was fabulous and the cottage was in such a great location across from the beach. It was a highlight of our vacation. We’d love to come back again!

Semi-Oceanfront | King Bed | Central Location (A2)
Tara’s place worked perfectly for our family (two adults, two young kids) and honestly restored my faith in AirBnBs. You can tell she really puts effort into making it an awesome place. It was kid friendly - spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated without being fussy. The appliances are all brand new, the bed and linens are super comfortable, there’s great water pressure in the shower, the kitchen is well stocked, and the washer/dryer was so helpful. It’s super centrally located with a ton to do in the area, and it’s easily walkable to the beach. (Though there’s no real ocean view, if that’s your thing.) It was our first time in the Outer Banks and we’d probably choose a quieter town in the future but if we were to come back to KDH rebooking here would be top of our list.

Dog Friendly Beach Cottage
Our family had a great time at this very dog and kid friendly home. Our furr baby ran around the yard and had a great time playing in the sand pile. I don't know if that is temporary as the fence just went up, but the kids really enjoyed that feature too. The kids are already asking when we can go back and want to stay it this house again. Thank you Jordan for making this available! Thank you, Shelton and Jane P

Waterfront studio with sound views!
We enjoyed our stay at Nikki’s apartment very much. The space is very clean, inviting and had all the amenities listed on the description. The photos are accurate and reflect the second floor apartment well. We like to cook a few meals while traveling and found all the pots, pans and utensils we needed in the kitchen. New appliances are also available. It is located in a peaceful, quiet and safe neighborhood. Nikki and her husband were friendly and available if needed. Would definitely consider returning again.

Salt N Sun studio - Moments from the waves
We were visiting to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and Ashley was super accommodating to help me celebrate it!! I mailed a few decorations ahead of time to surprise him and Ashley hung them up before we got there. I would have loved to be able to stay longer, the location was perfect and the beach was quiet. 10/10 ⭐️
