3 bedroom condo with oceanfront just steps away!
Condo was in a great convenient location. Very spacious. We did a lot of sight seeing so didn’t spend a whole lot of time on site but it accommodated all of our needs!

The Beach Bum
Our stay was great! The house has a really nice shower in the master bedroom and everything you would need in the kitchen. The house is also located on a quiet street with great places to take nice relaxing walks on the bayside and a free public beach on the oceanside.

Duck, NC Short Walk To Ocean, Volleyball&Ping-pong
We had a lovely stay at Maureen's home in Duck! It was perfect for my husband, 2 year old daughter and in-laws. We all had our own rooms with private bathrooms. The additional basement space was a huge plus! We had plenty of space for privacy but also the large, open communal spaces were perfect. We enjoyed sunbathing on the deck, playing games in the enclosed porch, and cooking in the kitchen. The beds were cozy and the whole home was clean. The location is perfect for enjoying the beach and downtown Duck. I've stayed in Duck many times and Maureen's house is by far my favorite! We will definitely be booking again!

ALoHA BEaCHeS, Pets free$, Facing BeAch,Wi-fi

The house is close to the beach, grocery stores and restaurants. Our stay was perfect. We look forward to staying here again in the future. We highly recommend it for other travelers. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Lucky You w/ Self-Check-in & Parking
We loved our week at Monika's place. We visted Cape Hatteras (the lighthouse is undergoing repairs), the Wright Brothers National Memorial, Jockey's Ridge State Park (beautiful sunset) and we did daily hikes around Nags Head Wood Preserve, which is a very short walk from the house. We also had some great food and enjoyed the available bicycles.

Cozy Cottage
Had a great week! Awesome little cottage

Oceanview,private POOL,AWESOME THEATER.Family Fun!
Great place. For its size and value, it literally has a ton of great features . The theatre room is amazing, especially with having kids. Has a beach volleyball court! The arcade has thousands of games and brought me back 25 years (Pac-Man, Mario, Galaga, Street Fighter, and 1,000’s more). We went when it typically would not be considered swimming weather, however, we had the option to have the pool heated at least a day or so before arriving and it made a huge difference and allowed for my girls and I to swim in early April (and I did jump in the ocean to compare and it was a 25-30 degree difference! Lol). The owner is very quick to respond, has the instructions available prior to arrival, recommendations for food, churches, , and activities. If you don’t mind a 3-5 minute stroll to the beach, it is honestly not that far away. Walmart, Target, Grocery stores, putt putt, dunes, Wings, fishing pier, are very close by. The aquarium was a 20 min drive but was worth it. Fun experience.

Gray Pearl
Very nice beach house with everything we needed for our stay. Great hot tub, friendly neighbors, fenced in yard was perfect for our dog. Easy walk to the beach!

* Walk to Beach * Two Pools * Family Friendly Loft
Great location and comfortable space. Within walking distance of the beach and grocery. Everything I need was provided. Especially enjoyed the little balcony which gets nice light in the afternoon and evening. I’d come back.

Wonderful & tranquil beach retreat: 2BR/2BA Condo.
We had a wonderful stay at this lovely condo in Corolla! The location was perfect for us, being a short walk to the beach and a short drive to nearby stores. The condo was SUPER clean and had everything we needed for our stay! Host was very responsive and helpful. We will certainly be booking this place again in the future!

Atlantic Sunrise | Pool | Stellar Ocean View | MP9
Exactly as expected, pictures say it all! Very clean, easy to communicate with the host, well appointed condo. With 4 kids, it can be tough to find something everyone likes to do, no problem with the recommendations and coupons! Thank you!! We had a wonderful time and love that we could stay right on the beach!! Thank you for everything! Melissa

Oceanfront-"Sun-Sational Setting" in heart of Duck
Beautiful place, Amazing view ! Perfect spot to get in and out of to head around town. Definitely recommend! Thanks Rick! 😀

Obx condo 2 king bedrooms 2 full bathrooms w/pool
Martin was a super responsive host. Anything we needed he was there to help. The place was gorgeous and in a really nice location. The unit was right next to the pool and tucked away from the main road. The pool was nice and it wasn't too crowded when we went. If you look really close you can see the ocean from the private balcony. Parking wasn't an issue for us. The beds were really comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed for our 3 day stay. Would 100% recommend staying here if you don't want to be right on the beach but close enough that it takes 3 minutes to drive the the beach access. Overall, this was the perfect place for our girls trip.

Barefoot Bliss - Single Level Steps to the Beach
Lynn was an amazing host. So easy to reach and helpful. The location is ideal as you can walk to the beach and to the park, lighthouse and sound. There are also walkable restaurants near by so we didn’t need to move the car.

Scarborough Ln. Duck Y'all! Bikes, Pool & Beach!
What a great location! We could walk everywhere we needed to go and we were pleasantly surprised at the size and quality of the rental, the pictures do not do it justice! We would definitely rent this property again in the future.

Calypso Cay at Cambridge Cove in the Outer Banks
Our stay was awesome! Robert and his wife thought of everything that would make a beach vacation a success. It was very cozy and the decor was beautifully done.

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.
