Knot One - Balcony View of ICW! - Dog Friendly!
We loved watching the boats in the canal. The room was clean, and quiet. Gia was quick to respond to questions. We would stay again if we are in the area.

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.

Beach Oasis; Short Walk to Beach & Resaturants
This is a fantastic unit for a couple (or best friends!) retreat. The location is perfect - directly across the street from beach entrance, walking distance to great coffee shops, local ice cream, surf shops, brewery, food, convenience stores, and more! I liked the house was at the end of a cul-de-sac so no traffic on the street. The host is very friendly and responsive with great directions. Check in/out was hassle free. I will definitely be coming back for a long weekend getaway!

Pool | Stunning Ocean View | Balcony | MP 9
The location is amazing with just a few steps to the beach and views to the ocean. The appartment is nicely furnished and has all that you need (excluding beach towels/chairs), and everything is perfectly clean!

The Coastal Studio
We enjoyed our stay and loved the area. The weather was not good, lots of clouds and rain which was unusual for this time of year, but we could still find plenty to do. Would love a couple of comfortable chairs added as we had to spend more time than planned inside watching tv. We would definitely stay here again.

Stylish Waterfront/Marina Condo
Beautiful condo. We enjoyed our stay and will be booking again in the future. Host is always responsive in a timely fashion. Becky Revere, Hartfield, Va.

No Ordinary Sunrise - Dog Friendly & Waterfront
The home was clean and instructions were very easy to follow. Since we were looking for a peaceful location on this trip, it fit the bill. The view was worth the cost. We knew there would be others around, as it was described accurately and clearly as a condo community. Supplies were very sufficient for us, and the owners were responsive. Enjoyed this trip!

Canalfront, "Mariner's Retreat"
Great location for exploring all the OBX has to offer!

Canal Front Cottage - Family & Pet Friendly!
Dana and her co Host was amazing we had the best few days of vacation possible in the outer banks 100% recommend Dana’s place we will for sure be back next year and anytime we go to obx !

SERENE SOUND RETREAT OBX /Sandy Beach/Dog Friendly
This was our second year at Serene Retreat. It’s just such a wonderful place for young children to enjoy the beach. The fenced in yard is great for their outdoor play. We enjoy cooking in the fabulous kitchen and feasting at the table with a view. Better than any restaurant around! Thank you again.

Scarlett Sunset
Getting to the beach was most important to us, and Matthew's place was perfect for the beach! Quick walk to the beach, and the house included all the necessary beach equipment (wagon, chairs, umbrella, sand toys, etc). It was also very clean and comfortable with a beautiful sunset view off the back deck. Highly recommend. Thanks Matthew!

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.

'Loophole' | Oceanfront | Historic Cottage
This home certainly makes for a relaxing vacation, as you have direct walk-out access to the beach; it feels warm and welcoming, everything you need to unwind and simply enjoy the sea and sand. Ideal location. We would definitely stay again.

Bruce’s Retreat Waterfront Home Entire 3 Bd 2 Ba
The Bruce’s Retreat was the perfect location and the absolute best sunsets in the OBX! There were kayaks available, a cooler and beach chairs that made us feel right at home. The home was comfortable and close to all the restaurants and shopping. You can fish right off of their dock, but if you want to get into the bigger fish, it’s just a short drive away. It worked out perfect for me, as the fish I caught at the home dock, I used to catch my biggest Red Drum (34”) on the surf! Karin was a great host, and was a quick responder when we reached out. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again when we visit.

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.

OBX 5BR Flexible Stays Fishing Golf CommunityPool
House is great. The garage/basement is separated from the main house which is great if some people want to stay up late. Plenty of room for a large group. Host was super responsive and understanding about any issue that came up. Beach is walkable or you can use the public parking lot across the main road.

Oceanfront Luxury Penthouse w/Stunning Views!
The condo was very charming with new appointments and has a beautiful view of the ocean. We enjoyed sunrise each morning and the sound of the waves crashing each night. The kitchen was well equipped and had sufficient space for the two of us. It was also nice to have both a full and half bath as well as a door between the sink area and toilet/shower in the full bath. Having several options for coffee with espresso, drip, and a Keurig was a big plus A few observations we want to share. It would be very tight to fit 6 people in the place but you could comfortably have two couples or a couple with two kids with the second pair on the sleeper sofa. Overall it was a great stay for our anniversary weekend!!!

Oceanfront Condo, Heated Pool & Hot Tub, Beachside
Salty shenanigans was a light piece of heaven. Condo was exactly as described and extremely clean. Kate was wonderful providing us recommendations for a local restaurants and shopping excursions. Beach and pool just steps away (what more could you ask for!). Had an amazing time, would book again.

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.

Oceanfront | Pool | Stunning Views | Central
Incredible location and views (of sunrises and sunsets); great for kids! There was a problem with the storm door that Katie herself came by to fix when maintenance was unavailable on a holiday weekend :) The place was clean, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the pool was great (opening weekend and very clean). The only thing to note is that this might not be a great place for you if you're sensitive to noise - there was a wedding at one of the huge houses one night under a tent and we could hear every song they played, as well as footsteps from the people staying above us. This isn't a make or break for us, and we would stay at Katie's place again in a heartbeat.

Oceanfront OBX Condo - Suite Caroline
Our stay was Perfect! We enjoyed having the everything we needed right there! They make you feel right at home! The extra things like the beach chairs & neso tent was so perfect for our days at the beach. The pool was so clean! The entire house was so clean! We enjoyed being able to watch the Dolphins right from the observation deck! 🐬

Oceanfront 2BR Renovated Condo Linens Included
Great location within steps to the beautiful Outer Banks beaches. Steve's place is comfortable, stylishly decorated, and so close to the ocean that you can fall asleep to the waves crashing upon the beach at night!

Atlantic Ocean Front Bliss!
Great place! Good location. Had all amenities. Clean. Close to beach.

Sunburst Ocean View Condo @ Nags Head Beach
I really appreciated the communication I had with Dave as we definitely walked to the local grill next-door and had an amazing dinner! I thought it was a great location, could see the ocean and sunrises and public access to the beach was just a short walk! It was great. Thanks Dave!
