OBX Beach House *Heated Pool&Hot Tub* in Duck
This is our 2nd stay here, and we have loved both visits! The kids love the pool, we love to walk to the beach and to town. Such a great house in a great location!

Saltwater Pool + Hot Tub - Gated Kitty Hawk Locale
Beautiful home and wonderful stay. Perfect retreat for my visit home to NC. Warm and welcoming, awesome amenities. All of my friends and family wanted this Airbnb stay link so they can book it for future stays. Thanks again! I hope to be back soon!

Perfect Outer Banks lakefront Vacation Home w/pool
The home was spacious and clean. Stores, beach, restaurants, and activities all within walking distance. Highly recommend! Sandra was very responsive and the maintenance people were quick to arrive and address a burnt out light bulb even though we advised it wasn’t an emergency. Great place to stay and great people to work with.

Moondance - 2nd Row, Pool, Hot Tub, Fenced Yard
Great location, perfect walk to the beach, almost like oceanfront. Great hang out space and kitchen. Lots of extra blankets, fan for the white noise people. Great outdoor shower and basketball hoop. Walk to the beach was quick and not too challenging. Clean pool and hot tub!!! Would definitely come back!!!

Seashells, Hammocks & Vinyl—Your OBX Escape!
We had such a wonderful few days at the Mermaid Lagoon. The house was absolutely beautiful and very clean. We felt right at home. We will definitely come back.

OBXLanai Pool Hot Tub & Private Duck Beach Access!
This was a perfect place for a large family to stay. The location is perfect as it's walkable to private beach where there is hardly any crowd. There are various restaurants within a mile of this location and everything was available for a great time.

OBX Beach House *HOT TUB*
We had the best time here, its exactly like the pictures and the host goes above and beyond with recommendations/ items provided and cleanliness!

Sandmor - Heated Pool and Hottub
Lisa was very accommodating during our stay and was able to get the pool open for us to use!! Thanks so much, the house is very large and there is plenty of space to spread out.

Vitamin Sea
This listing is exactly what you see and is perfect for one or two people. I loved the decor, it was very quiet, and the walk to the beach is 5 minutes on the nose (I timed it). I had a few questions and the hosts were very friendly with a fast response time. I loved the outdoor shower to rinse all the sand off. I would stay again and highly recommend.

Direct Beach & Pier Access, Clean & Renovated + EZ
The bungalow was just perfect for my husband and I and our dog! Quick walk to the beach, which was so beautiful during the Spring! Fun restaurant just a 2 minute walk from the cottage! We didn’t cook but there was a full oven/range and just about everything you’d need to prepare meals. The hosts are very proactive and included great recommendations and instructions throughout the bungalow. As noted in the description, it is a small beach bungalow. Great for couples, especially if you like to vacation with your dog!

Dog House Surf Ranch (MP6.5 KDH) - Dog Friendly
This was the perfect dog friendly place we were looking for. The enclosed deck and yard allowed to let the dogs out and run around the place without issue. The house itself is pretty close drive wise to everything. Plenty of space as well. Would definitely come back here again especially if we brought our dogs.

Peace, Love, and Sunshine
Host was very nice and helpful. She answered all questions! Great place very peaceful and quiet while close to everything.

Dog Friendly - Between the Highways
We always love staying at Terra’s place and would not go anywhere else. We will be back again next year!

BEACH BARN mp 10.5 including YMCA privileges!
My family loved our spring break trip to the Beach Barn. The house is in an amazing location just a short walk to the beach and lots of shops and restaurants. The central location in Nags Head is the perfect jumping off point for exploring all parts of the Outer Banks. Alison provided excellent instructions and flexibility with check-in, and was very responsive when we had a minor issue with the washing machine during our stay. The house itself has everything you would need for a beach vacation, especially with kids. There were toys, books, games, and beach supplies available. Amy kids particularly loved the Super Mario Brothers monopoly and bunk beds. Would definitely recommend!

Argyles Place 3 beds/Spa bath/kitchen pet friendly
We had a great stay! Everything was exactly as described. The place was very clean, comfortable, and well taken care of. We also really appreciated how kind and responsive the host was through messages. We would definitely stay here again! ♥️♥️♥️

Little Beach Cottage
Mary’s place was perfect for myself and the pup for our four night stay in Nags Head. It’s comfortable and has everything you need to unwind and enjoy the proximity to the beach (1 block!) along with great area restaurants, coffee shops and other amenities. The bungalow layout on the property is nicely set back from the other rental home in a way that provides for a bit of privacy which was perfect. Mary was so generous with recommendations on things to do and how to make the most out of our stay. Highly recommend!

Jewel on the Sound- Condo in Kill Devil Hills, OBX
The condo is in a great spot with some nice amenities. The tennis courts were empty, so it was easy to play if you wanted, and while I didn’t swim since it wasn’t the season, the pool looked like it would be nice in warmer weather. The location is perfect—close to Bay Drive with the wide sound-side walking path and an easy walk to the monument. There are three flights of stairs to get to the unit (this was mentioned in the listing, so I knew ahead of time). I didn’t mind at all, and the upside is no one above you and amazing views from the porch. The condo is simple but had everything I needed, and I was very comfortable. It’s also absolutely spotless—they clearly put a lot of effort into keeping it clean, which was so reassuring. Easily the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. Thanks so much for hosting!

Grouper Therapy
Grouper Therapy is conveniently located - walkable to beach, sound, restaurants/stores in Duck, and neighborhood pool. The house had a floor plan with 3 King bedrooms + 1 more that worked perfectly for our family. The kitchen was well appointed - provides everything you need if you want to cook in. We appreciated all the extras provided - high chair, beach chairs, carts, tv in every bedroom. Our family really enjoyed our week in Duck.

Heated pool! Close to the Beach, Large Yard
Spacious home with high end furniture, window treatments and other amenities. Incredibly outfitted kitchen with multiple small appliances and cookware. Bedrooms were huge and beautifully decorated. Four full bathrooms and one half bath made it convenient for all of us. Pool was a huge hit with our family. Convenient mini kitchen on ground floor was a great addition! Neighborhood was so beautiful, private, and nice to walk.

Duck Cottage w/ pool and 5 min walk to beach
Even with all the rain during our beach week, we had a great time at this dog-friendly cottage. The screened-in porches made catching up with family outside bug free. Nice pool, corn hole and hammock were nice to have as well. Short walk down quiet unpaved street to beautiful beach. So many restaurants & activities nearby!

6br, 6bth, short walk 2 everything beach, shopping
Last minute trip planned. There were 12 of us and this house was a great size with plenty of space where we did not feel like we were on top of each other. 4 teenagers the area was perfect. They were able to go on their own and explore Corolla, walking and biking. We look forward to visiting Outer Banks again.

Serene Lake Front-Pool Access-Pet Friendly
Great house and great host. Had to make a last second change from a previous house we were staying in and Michelle was able to fit us in the night we asked and even before our allotted time. Made sure we had everything we needed and was always responsive. Very appreciative for her and her flexibility. Home was clean and had everything we needed. Would recommend to stay here.

Gorgeous 5-bdrm in Duck
Location was great! Duck is super cute. Stayed with my kids, my brother and kids kids and my sister. It was plenty of space for all of us and we loved the outer banks!

7BR/Pool/PickleBall/Pirates/Gym/Golf/DolphinInnOBX
I can’t possibly put into words the experience we had. From the time I booked till checkout. Communication was quick. Answered each every one of my questions. And trust me I asked a lot. Was checking in to make sure we were good. Check in was easy breezy. House is nice and spacious. We were a family of 12 and made out great. The kids loved having the whole bottom level. They weee close to the hot tub. Kitchen had a nicely stocked little pantry. We cooked our Thanksgiving dinner with ease. We were able to find all pots, pans and even storage containers we needed already supplied. The gas fireplace was my favorite. Really warms up the top floor nicely. The views from the deck of the sunrises were amazing. I just can’t say enough. Other than we will definitely be going back.
