Margaritaville 2-Walk to Beach/PrivatePool&HotTub

KaseyRating, 5 stars4 days ago

Gia was an amazing host. Very friendly & helpful. Great beach house. The beach was only a bike ride away. Parking at the beach was always available. The beach wasn’t over crowded at all. The house was about 35 min from jockey ridge, 1 1hr to cape Hatteras The pool & jacuzzi were relaxing. Having the bikes & outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach made it so much easier. I will be back!

Apartment in Kitty Hawk

*Sit N' Duck 2* Steps from Ocean + Community Pool!

EricRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Our stay at the Sit N' Duck was absolutely perfect! The residence is well laid out with amenities to make your stay as easy and care-free as possible. Mary and Larry provided everything we could have possibly needed, and the washer and dryer were a helpful additional touch. If we wanted a beach day, it was only a 2-minute walk to a very secluded and peaceful section of the beach with great views, the sound of the ocean, and pristine waves. We brought a small beach cart which was easily maneuvered out and down the beach access boardwalk, but if you're packing light it wouldn't be hard to carry everything for the short distance. Even in the rain, there are wonderful covered sitting areas to sit out and enjoy the rain as we read a book or just chatted. Additionally, there's no shortage of things to do nearby in a short drive up to Duck or down to Kitty Hawk or Kill Devil Hills. We couldn't have imagined a better trip to OBX and we look forward to hopefully staying again in the future!

OBXKNOBI - Family place super close to the beach.

SandeepRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

Stayed here for Memorial day weekend. Richard’s place is about 200 feet from the beach which was more like a private beach with less people. Richard is very thoughtful and included almost everything you need for a beach vacation. Kitchenette does not have a stove and a sink but there’s an outdoor stove and a sink on the deck. Overall, liked the place and location and would stay again in future. .

Charming 1BR Condo w/ Pool & Beach Access

DottieRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This was an ideal location in Duck, NC. The beach associated with the resort was devine! The surrounding area is mostly single family homes, making the beach very private to the resort. The unit is located away from the pool, so it was very quiet and lovely. The view is not really of water, but it's a great deck to watch sunsets. I would return to this AirBnB again!

A hot tub is positioned under a covered patio, with bubbling water providing a relaxing setting. Two drink glasses are placed in a built-in holder beside the tub. The background features trees and a grassy area, creating a calming outdoor view.

Bungalow on the Links

BrendaRating, 5 stars3 days ago

Super cute place in an awesome neighborhood. The beach pass, beach chairs, boogie boards and cooler were clutch. The outdoor shower was great for after the beach. Our family of 4 was very comfortable here. There is plenty of room to chill inside and in the backyard. The game room was fun, especially the legit foosball table. The weather was muggy so the AC felt amazing. Every night we were excited to see the cutest frogs on the back windows. We spent a week here and weren’t ready to go home thank you for sharing your home with us!
