House rentals in Kitty Hawk

Direct Beach Access, Clean & Renovated + EZ Cart
We had the best weekend at this property! It was so clean, excellent location/ quick walk to the beach, and the host included so many thoughtful details to the space and our stay that made our trip wonderful. We will book again the next time we are in the OBX!

Gone Fission OBX: Updated Family Beach Box
We loved the close proximity to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. We held a week long competition with pool and shiffleboard. The house was well stocked with anything we might need or might have forgotten. It will definitely be a repeat rental!

Flat Top Bungalow
Wonderful place very close to the beach! Had everything we needed and the host was very easy to communicate with.

Chloe's Cottage - 7 minute walk to the beach
The place was very nice and a short walk to the beach. It was really nice to have a fenced in yard for the dog

2BR near beach & bay! Hot tub & Pet-Friendly!
Home matched the description and photos. Just a brief walk to the beach. Nice around to walk our dog around as well. Coffee shop close by. The hot tub was a nice plus for our stay. Host provided clear/helpful directions.

Sea La Vie- 800ft to beach, hot tub, dog friendly!
Fady’s place perfect for our family. The beach was a very easy walk. The house was so clean and comfortable. There is so much to do inside and outside of the house. The hot tub was really fun. We also loved the proximity of the shops, food and grocery. The recommendations from the host and the response time was perfect. Everything felt cozy and at home.

The Salty Shoebox OBX Oceanfront.
Wonderful views and easy access to the water. Good place with young children. (We had a toddler and a baby as part of our group.) The sitting area in the master suite was a great place to play board games and chat in the evenings without disturbing the little ones sleep. Great deck with sturdy chairs of the correct height to see the ocean over the railing. Lots of restaurants nearby and grocery stores and even a Target less than 2 miles away.

Cooper's Suite Charity - SPCA Supporters/Donators
Russ was a wonderful host and it was a pleasure staying at his place! The bed was comfortable, instructions and support were clean and quick. The area while drivers were crazy had some nice spots to check out and the beach wasn't far off either! If you are looking for a nice place to stay for the summer I highly recommend this Airbnb for you and your partner!

Bare Feet Retreat- Cozy Private Guest Suite
What a very cute little place. We loved sitting on the porch in the morning sunshine drinking coffee. We arrived late and left early so didn't get to meet our host but she was very nice and responsive.

Kitty Hawk Bay Sanctuary | Bikes | Soundside Bliss
Location, location, location...plus. Very nice, clean efficient place in a quiet and very safe residential area. Walk to the inlet to watch wonderful sunsets. People standing there, talking to each other - just like life should be. Very short drive to many restaurants and shopping.

Casa de la Luz (The Octagon House, OBX)
We had a great stay at Casa de Luz! It was a terrific home-base for our first OBX visit. We loved all of the thoughtful touches throughout the apartment. Lots of beach gear was provided, so we didn't have to buy our rent anything. Our kids loved the toys and games that Heather provided as well as the lovely park & playground across the street.

Little House in the Live Oaks
This is the perfect little place to stay! The Little House was tastefully decorated, extremely clean, private, and even cuter in person than the pictures! Mike and Erin had little details listing sunset, and the tide times, as well as a little letter board with our names on it. There was immaculate detail with directions to the house, where to park, and a welcome book with plenty of information about the stay, and local recommendations. We can’t wait to book again!

The House with Red Shutters
Super clean, beautifully decorated. Perfect historic cottage experience. Owners are so welcoming and thoughtful. Truly great hosts. They live in the other house if you need anything. All the towels and beach gear you need are provided. Crossing the road to the beach was easy in April, traffic very light. Absolutely coming back.

Beach House with Private Hot tub & Firepit!
We loved staying at Shane’s place. It was a great home base for the Outer Banks, close to grocery stores, restaurants, the Wright Brothers Memorial, and just a quick drive to plenty of public beach access points. We LOVED the hot tub (and it was the cleanest hot tub I’ve ever seen), and the TV and big couch was perfect for the rainy days during our stay. I’d definitely recommend.

Pet friendly beach cottage- 5 min walk to beach
Very clean - spotless kitchen, bathrooms and beds. Lots of amenities and little extras - like trash bags, coffee, hand soap, etc. comfortable beds. Walking distance to the beach. Close to Duck.

Studio Apartment for Two, Perfect couples getaway.
Perfect spot for a golf vacation at Seascape Golf Course! Ideal for 1-2 guests only. Close to Nags Head restaurants. Extremely clean. Easy checkin. Quiet golf course community. We definitely would stay again!
Condo rentals in Kitty Hawk

3 bedroom condo with oceanfront just steps away!
Whitney was a great host, very proactive, had clear instructions on checking in and responsive. This is a great location, the pool was perfect and had plenty of chairs. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space for us. We enjoyed our stay!!

Dancing Dolphin - Oceanfront Retreat
Dave's place is amazing! The listing is exactly as described, and was perfect for our family of 4. Communication with Dave was thorough and timely. The location is excellent, with a view of the ocean from the front porch. We loved the sliding door in the master bedroom that allowed us to walk right out onto the porch. It's so close to the beach! Less than a 1 min walk and you're on the sand! I've never stayed in a more well stocked Airbnb! Everything from extra linens to toiletries is provided! Beach supplies and all! We walked to dinner, or drove less than 10 mins to some great places. We already decided we want to book a longer trip next summer! It was fantastic!

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.

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.

* Walk to Beach * Two Pools * Family Friendly Loft
My little family loved staying here! Cozy condo! Great location and an easy walk to the beach. We would definitely stay again. Very nice and clean place.

Atlantic Sunrise | Pool | Stellar Ocean View | MP9
Had a wonderful stay! Perfect for a small family. Katie was very easy to communicate with she answered all my questions in a timely manner. Will definitely be back.

Island View - Waterfront Condo! Fully Updated!
Absolutely wonderful condo in Manteo! The space was clean, super comfortable and the location was perfect. Looks exactly as the pictures show, but with an even better view of the water from the patio. The hosts are lovely and very responsive. We went to see The Lost Colony at Fort Raleigh and was able to walk via an easy walking path right outside of the condo. We will 100% stay again and recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Waterfront Luxury Beach Home-Sunset View,Spa Baths
Thank you Meredith .. such a blessing! My family had a great time and loved your place. We highly recommend staying here. Blessings to you :)

Your guide to Kitty Hawk
Introduction
Made famous by the Wright Brothers, whose celebrated flight put the area on the map in 1903, Kitty Hawk’s place in history often precedes its reputation as a quiet beach town. For the 3,500 people who live here, and those who’ve made the visit, it’s so much more than a landmark. As one of North Carolina’s barrier islands known collectively as the Outer Banks (or OBX), Kitty Hawk is a traditional seaside village with generous beach access, a small residential community supporting mom-and-pop businesses, and a vast forest reserve. The reasons the Wrights chose the area for their flight experiments — soft, sandy beaches; gentle hills; frequent breezes — make Kitty Hawk ideal for taking in the natural scenery, and welcome visitors to experience its local culture year-round.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Kitty Hawk
Kitty Hawk experiences a humid subtropical climate due to its position along the Gulf Stream. This means that there is little variance in precipitation from season to season, with hot, humid summers and mild winters. During the summer, the heat index can push temperatures to 88 degrees Fahrenheit, though Kitty Hawk’s naturally breezy air brings some welcome relief. During winter, temperatures seldom drop below the upper 30s, and typically hover in the 50s. The entire Outer Banks region is susceptible to hurricanes during tropical storm season (midsummer to early fall), so if you’re planning to book one of the area’s vacation rentals during this time, pay especially close attention to local weather forecasts, and keep a close eye on storm systems developing in the Gulf.
Top things to do in Kitty Hawk
Southern Shores
For decades, this area — which blends into Kitty Hawk’s northern border — was considered part of Kitty Hawk. It wasn’t until a land-parcel purchase in the 1940s that Southern Shores began to develop an identity of its own. These days, it’s a popular stopover thanks to its wonderfully quiet beaches, and quaint restaurants and shops.
Kill Devil Hills
Just south of Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills is a lively beach town lauded for its sandy beach, wealth of watersports (surfing and kiteboarding are particularly popular, given the wind), and nightlife. Most famously, Kill Devil Hills marks the spot where Orville and Wilbur Wright took their first successful flight, commemorated by the large Wright Brothers National Memorial in the heart of town.
Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve
More than half of Kitty Hawk’s geographical area comprises the Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve, an 1,890-acre maritime forest along the western border of the town. The topography varies from deciduous forest to freshwater wetlands, with plenty of critters — racoons, owls, river otters — to spot in between.
