Cottage vacation rentals in Ocracoke Island

This is our second time staying here so that should speak for itself. Great place, great host!

Our second visit in three months, my husband and I returned to the Best Box for a longer stay between Christmas and New Year’s. Five nights was perfect and let us forget all our troubles. Amanda has thought of everything you could need. Even some lovely Christmas decorations that blended it beautifully with the rest of the interior design. Amanda is a super host - so thoughtful and responsive and wants to make sure you get the most out of your time at the house. Whether you want to be active on the water or chill out with incredible views, this is the perfect home to do everything and nothing. We can’t wait to come back to this very special place.

Beautiful home! This is a well designed home with easy access to the beach. I loved the private beach walk and campfire area. The bedrooms were perfect. The 2 level decks have a beautiful view of the ocean and lovely hammock and chairs to enjoy the sunset. The hosts were so helpful. We would stay here again.

We used this for two couples and a toddler on spring break. It was perfect. Chill, spacious, and well cared for, the whole house made for a relaxing getaway for all of us.

Everything you need and more! Super cute little cottage with lovely decor and comfy furniture. Plenty of room for up to 6 people. Every kind of dvd was available. These really came in handy as we were without internet for much of our stay due to hurricane Helene. David and Misty were super easy to get in touch with and very helpful with trying to help when the internet did not cooperate. I would not hesitate to come back to this house in the future.

My family and I had a wonderful stay, the house was well stocked. We had trouble getting the TV to work, Sandy was very quick to try to help. Unfortunately there was an outage on the island, but she still tried to help! Highly recommended!

Just Enough was that and so much more. Beautiful area, super porch for viewing the canal, really comfortable house. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking up some great fresh seafood. The seafood shop was just up the road by the way. Restaurants and grocery were all close by. Evenings on the porch were such a super way to relax after beaching, biking and kayaking. Really loved our stay

Perfect for a few days at the beach. The master bedroom was a little warmer than the rest of the house. I think the window unit in there isn’t really cooling. It was still comfortable. We would rent again. Location is perfect for going anywhere in the OBX.

This was the cutest little beach cottage! We went for a 4 day get away with our small children and dog. Our 12 year old son absolutely LOVED fishing in the canal in the backyard. He’s an avid lover of fishing so this was perfect! We rented a kayak & had it delivered for him to use. We frequent the Hatteras area and this cottage was one we’d never tried but would definitely stay again! Thanks Gisa!

My spouse and I were looking for an unplugged getaway, and wow oh wow - Rhonda's place was it! The ocean front view combined with a cozy, well-loved and thoughtful interior made for a perfect quiet vacation. Rhonda was an incredibly helpful host and offered great recommendations for places to find local seafood and go for walks. This home is a treasure!

We had a great stay at Out of the Blue. Margot was so responsive and helpful. Perfect location to get to/from beach easily and close to grocery, restaurants. Comfortable home. Would definitely return!

Amy's home was a great place for our family of 5 adults to gather for Christmas. Each of our adult children had their own room plus there are two gathering places for TV watching and activities. Spacious dining area. Very well equipped kitchen!! Whatever you want to make, Amy has a pan for that!! Easy walking distance to beach and lighthouse. Her beautiful Christmas decorations were a nice touch for the season. We would rent this place again if our travels take us back to OBX.

Loved loved loved it!!! Family vibes all around! Great loving dog and had some bikes to get around! So close to the beach! Wish I could live here forever!

Morgan's house is tastefully furnished and full of light. The kitchen is well equipped, beds comfortable, and everything very clean. The beach is very close and was absolutely glorious because we went out of season and although it was sunny and warm there were few people about - only a few locals fishing. The children appreciated all the equipment for building sandcastles. We found some good restaurants open.

This was a wonderful home base for adventuring in the off-season. It was a short bike ride (and an easy, affordable bike rental from Ride the Wind) into town or to the beach, and I loved being able to put a kayak in at the house.

This place is so gorgeous! It’s spacious, bright, beautifully decorated with cozy beachy home vibe. You can spend time on the deck, in the screened porch, the cozy living room or the dinning area with beautiful view. Plenty of lounge furnitures to sit down and relax, plenty of towels, plenty of cooking/dining supplies. It is so well stocked in every way. I also LOVE the location, walkable to the beach, and since there is no light pollution here in the night, the Staring sky is breathtaking. If weather allows, I would strongly recommend to see the sunrise and stars. There is not much night life in this area, but we didn’t mind driving 30 mins to nags head area on the nights we want to hangout late. All in all, we enjoyed our stay a lot, I would stay here again if I come back to this area.

We enjoyed our stay! Everything was great from location, cleanliness and ease of checking in and out. Dylan was a great host and we will return!

Really a great place to stay. Location was great. Everything very clean and everything available. Probably my new best airbnb place to stay.

A group of 6 of us stayed for only one night and we all loved the place. It was super clean, everything seemed new, plenty of towels which was nice. Super easy to get to the beach from the house. Jacquelyn was quick to respond to our questions. Wish we could have stayed longer, would stay there again.
