*Pet Friendly*Island Beach Shack with Pool!

IvaniaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This place was beautiful. Perfect for a couple or four friends. The beach was an easy five min walk from the Airbnb. She also had an under full of activities to do around the area. The downside is that you will have to drive 30-45 mins to get to some of the places. Other than that, at the Airbnb you can meet the chickens, dogs, and miss kitty near the home if you’re an animal lover. They’re super friendly. The pool was also really nice. Perfect for a tan and the water was cold. I would definitely stay again!!! I loved the place.

Ocean Views, Game Room, Pool/HT & Pet Friendly

KelliRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved the house! It was a perfect spot for myself, three children and our pup. Very clean, well-appointed and spacious. The pool and ping pong tables in the basement were a perfect downtime activity. The beach is very short stroll and the restaurants that we could walk to made the location even more ideal. We hope to return soon!

Ocean view, near beach! Large pool/new hot tub

DrewRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We loved our stay at Sunrise Surf on the southern Shores! The location was great. The house was even better than expected/than the pictures. Everything was well stocked and we really appreciated that. The heated pool and the hot tub were amazing for our spring break vacation. I would not hesitate to book this again!

Sea Captain's Cottage 3 (Oceanfront Cottage Court)

CourtneyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Overall, we had a great stay. Having a gated deck was great with dogs. Beach access was awesome! Parking was clearly labeled and easy to park at. Laundry facility, outdoor shower, and grill were very convenient. The location was quiet (mid-April) given how close the cottages are to a lot of restaurants, shops, and attractions. Whitney was very responsive and helpful!

KimberlyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I had a very enjoyable stay. The cottage was spotless, very clean, beds were comfortable, it was exactly how it is depicted and described. I needed a place to decompress after my dad’s funeral and this was just the place. I traveled with my German Shepherd and we were able to take long walks on the beach right across the street. The host was very responsive to any questions I had and communicated when the place was ready early. Would totally recommend.

New 2 Bedroom w 5 Beds | Walk to Beach/Pool/Tennis

BrittanyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Clean space within walking distance to not only the pool but also the beach which was awesome for the kids! Definitely bring a wagon for the beach goodies and cooler to camp out with the waves for the day. The outdoor shower was awesome for keeping sand out and rinsing things off before putting them back in the car!

Semi-Oceanfront water views Private Heated Pool O

RichardRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Kate was great! The place was beautiful, and all amenities were equal to or better than advertised. Everything was clean. The heated pool and hot tub were ready for us... The decks were great, especially the upper roof deck where you could start early and watch sunrise and go back up at night for sunset... Although the house is in a neighborhood this house is situated so that nobody is near you. The only sort of nearby house faces away from you, so privacy was high, and noise was low. The only thing we contacted Kate about was that when we got there the wifi wasn't working. She responded promptly with the news that the entire Outer Banks wifi was down. So not only was it out of her hands, but she also sleuthed out the problem and reported it to us right away. And it was back up the next morning. Avon is pretty small, and that's a big part of the charm. But we found several good restaurants. Ketch 55 in Avon was very good. Others a few miles south...

Isle Be Back Coastal Cottage

EmilyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved our stay in Hatteras at the Isle Be Back! James was a great host - communicated well - both proactive and responsive. The listing was very consistent with our experience. We utilized the kayaks and one of the bikes, as well as the sand toys. It was wonderful for my kiddos to have an indoor, heated pool (which was very secure to keep them safe when we weren’t swimming). Great location. Very close to a few great beaches and the ferry docks. We would love to come back!

Beach front Haven. Just 75 steps to Paradise.

JanhaviRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our family of four had a great 1-week stay at Superheat Retreat. The home itself is beautifully decorated with all the conveniences and right touches. It is literally steps from the beach (one of the cleanest I have seen) and an easy drive to all local tourist spots. We also used the clubhouse and tennis courts. Plenty of restaurants close by and walkable to Papa Johns to pick up a quick pizza. Overall a great find and would definitely stay here again in the future! Thanks to Gordon and Jan for hosting us!

Beech I Told U So! New Build

RocioRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Our stay at Timothy’s place was excellent. The weather was terrible during our stay due to a tropical storm, but the beautiful house made up for the weather. Timothy has thoroughly thought of every detail in the home. It is beautifully furnished and decorated. It has a great outdoor space. There were plenty of televisions to keep everyone happy given the weather. The hot tub is frequently serviced and clean. It has a very nice outdoor tub as well. The outdoor showers are beautiful and well designed. He has hoses on every level to minimize tracking sand into the house. We felt very relaxed. We would definitely recommend Timothy’s place. Very responsive host. Timothy definitely cares about his property and the comfort of his guests. We would come back and recommend this house.

Colorful Beachhouse Is Only Steps to the Dune

FranceneRating, 5 stars7 months ago
While we were on our way to Arlene's house she contacted me to let me know the street and driveway were flooding due to the high waves. She said if it was too hard to get in, her husband would take us to the house in his truck. We were able to make it in but it was a very kind offer and went above and beyond! Arlene's house was comfortable with an amazing view. A lot of the beach had receded away due to storms which made walks on the beach difficult at times but the view from her decks made up for it. The only thing we could have wished for was a bit more yard with less tall prickly vines to walk our pup and to walk thru to the beach due to the driveway and road being flooded. All in all, we had a WONDERFUL time and I would come back again. Thank you Arlene for your very fast responses and offer of your husband's truck to get in! If we come back to the area we will absolutely see if your home is available again.

Heated Pool/Watefront/Private Pier/Tennis/FastWiFi

TamaraRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Heaven sent! My family arrived at another rental we had booked for 2 weeks in Rodanthe only to find it inaccessible due to flooding so we were homeless at 5:30 on a Saturday afternoon. We found Natalie's listing for this property and quickly contacted her to request an on-the spot booking. She responded immediately and graciously accepted. We had no idea what to expect, having had no opportunity to thoroughly research the property in advance of booking. Natalie indeed has a true gem in this listing. Being waterfront on the sound side was a new experience for us, we have been lifelong oceanfront renters. The property, pool and grounds were exceptionally well cared for and the pier and sea wall provided ample fishing opportunities, bringing in several nice Red Drum and Blues among the usual assortment. The house itself provided ample room for our family to spread out and also enjoy being together. Natalie saved the day and we had a fabulous stay - I highly recommend this listing!
