Jockey Ridge State Park + Sound Beach + Hot Tub

ElizabethRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had the best stay at Jockey Ridge. Two adults, a 10yo and a dog. The space was beyond perfect, inside and out! The location was EXACTLY what we hoped for and more. The host was as fantastic as the property. Her attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed. We forgot a couple things, and to our surprise, it was included. Sound machine, etc. even poop bags for the dog! And a chew bone waiting for him outside. She made our vacation seamless. Not to mention being able to walk out the door and hike the beautiful sand dunes. Our 10yo loved sand boarding on a boogie board that she provided. We tried all the restaurants she suggested, and more. They were all a hit. What a special place! We booked it from what we saw online, out of hundreds of other locations, and something drew us to this place. And in person, it was better than we could have ever imagined. We hope to do it again next year, and maybe a couple times in between, too! Thank you Jockey Ridge. You made memories forever!

Windy Oaks guest suite.

FaissalRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Stay at Bonnie’s was fantastic! Everything was set. She was also super friendly. If you’re looking for a place for a short trip to OBX, I recommend staying at Bonnie’s. If you’re lucky, you may even come across Rowan the Doggo 😄

Beach Side Oasis in Prime Location, Heart of KDH!

Ashley BrookeRating, 5 stars8 months ago
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!

The Bungalow on the Lagoon - with boat ramp

JamesRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
What a neat little spot! The space was perfect for our family of three. Close to beaches, restaurants, shops, and the ferry. Gracie, her place, and her art gallery next door encapsulate what makes the Outer Banks so welcoming and charming very well. Will 100% be back in the future.

Rocking Hat Retreat WEST •Private garden on canal•

KatherineRating, 5 stars8 months ago
I had an amazing few days at Jayme's place. Everything was exactly as described. I look forward to returning. This may sound like a cliche, but it truly is a hidden gem. The apartment is spacious and welcoming. Perfect for a small family or getaway with a few friends. I was able to visit with my family, while having my own quiet space where I could work in the day and see my kids/grandkids in the afternoons and evenings. Just steps away, you can rent a bike and go anywhere. The area is also very walkable. A wonderful restaurant is also just steps away from the property. Everything is very close, including groceries, restaurants, and things to do. And, of course, there is a very easy short stroll to the beach so no worries about looking for parking :) Jayme is super friendly and helpful. It was a treat to meet her. I don't think I have ever met a host in person. I have been fortunate to have wonderful AirBnB experiences, but this has been one of my best.

Really enjoyed the condo it was a perfect base camp for a variety of activities in the OBX. There was a well stocked kitchen which was great as we did a lot of home meals.

No Ordinary Sunrise - Dog Friendly & Waterfront

TnishaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Thomas’s place was perfect! Very relaxing, quiet, and serene. I enjoyed the view overlooking the water. The apartment had everything that I needed to feel at home. I do wish there was a TV in the bedroom, but other than that it definitely earned a 5-star review!

Ohana Hale Pet Friendly, hot tub, canal Front Home

FelisaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Beautiful home and setting- exactly as described. We didn’t have good luck with weather so the hot tub and area under the house were lifesavers. Probably the best stocked Airbnb we’ve stayed in and hosts are very responsive. I will mention that there are a lot of things that aren’t open this time of year, but there was enough for us to eat out a few times. Overall a great stay.

Janelle and Adrian are absolutely wonderful hosts. Their home is beautiful and perfect. In every way the second you walk in you feel like you are on vacation and you don’t wanna leave.

Coastal living at Dock Landing!

JoanRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We enjoyed being in a quiet neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle of the beach traffic, but still being able to get anywhere that we wanted within 20-30 minutes. The view was wonderful and peaceful! Our 4 grandkids enjoyed the game room and there was lots of games to occupy their time. The house had everything that we needed, very well supplied! Cheryl was absolutely the perfect host! She checked on us upon arrival and during our stay to let us know that she was available if needed. This place is top notch, you will not want to leave! Already thinking of our next trip to Dock Landing!

SusanRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We stayed at this house for a long weekend. It was a girls trip for my mom’s 86th birthday. We loved everything about the house! We had a rainy first day… But it didn’t bother us a bit! We stayed in our PJs in your lovely top floor and watched movies! Lisa was very helpful and answered any question I had quickly. We all agree that we would definitely stay here again!

Private beach access and parking. We had a roof shell on our car so had to park in a spot that was just a few feet away from our condo. A local neighbor gave us the tip to park there. Quiet, beautiful, and you can hear the ocean from the deck 😍 Thanks John!
