Jockey Ridge State Park + Sound Beach + Hot Tub
Erica's cozy apartment was perfectly situated and exactly what we needed for a sisters' getaway- walking distance from Jockey's Ridge State Park and lovely hiking trails, minutes drive to the pier and local restaurants with delicious food and friendly staff and less than an hour from several historic sites along the Sound. The best part of our stay there was returning from our explorations every night to take a soak in the hot tub under the cold clear starry skies.

The Dock
We had an amazing stay at this cozy Airbnb overlooking the Currituck Sound! The location near the heart of Duck is hard to beat, with easy access to fantastic shops, restaurants, and local coffee shops. The views over the sound are stunning, and the peaceful setting made it a truly relaxing getaway for this time of year. Our host was incredibly helpful and responsive, ensuring we were set for a smooth check-in. 10/10 would recommend!

Oceanside Oasis in Prime Location in Heart of KDH!
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!

Outer Banks Luxurious & Secluded Beach Getaway #1
I had a great stay at this Airbnb! The space was beautifully decorated. Everything was exactly as described in the listing, and it was clear that a lot of thought went into making the place both stylish and comfortable. The bed was cozy, and the bathroom was gorgeous. It was perfect for a short stay (I am sure it’s great for longer ones as well), offering all the essentials I needed. Communication with Tiffany was smooth—she responded so quickly and was also proactive. Check-in was a breeze due to clear instructions. I would definitely stay here again.

The Coastal Studio
Amazing spot! Really nice space, very clean and comfortable, awesome windows/light and views of the marsh. We loved the deck space, private dock, free bikes, and proximity to everything in the village - you're literally right next to shops, lighthouse, whalehead, etc. We were here in off season so lots of businesses were closed, but we still had a blast. Zoe was responsive and friendly. Would definitely stay here again!

Stylish Waterfront/Marina Condo
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. The condo was nicely decorated, and the beds were super comfy! James was easy to contact and communicated back quickly if asked a question. Was a great stay.

No Ordinary Sunrise - Dog Friendly & Waterfront
Thomas was so helpful and flexible to accommodate changes to our schedule at the last minute. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and the kitchen remarkably well equipped! Loved the view from the balcony over the water and up to the stars.

Canalfront, "Mariner's Retreat"
This year’s stay in Kitty Hawk was an eventful one, and my hosts went above and beyond to keep me both comfortable and safe. With the arrival of the large snowfall and the frigid temperatures, they provided me an extra heater in case of need, and shoveled me a walkable path from the bungalow door to my car. For their kindness, on top of so many reasons I continue to return to the Retreat: cleanliness, comfort, space enough to work from and relax in, proximity to local amenities (food, shops, etc.), to the beach, and to walking/hiking spots, and for the peaceful surroundings, I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend their sweet place for a stay.

Canal Front Cottage - Family & Pet Friendly!
Rainbow after rain was such a great experience!! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and it was perfect. The house felt very welcoming and homey. The canal access was a bonus my husband kayaked a few days in a row. There were additional kayaks and crab pots to have access to during the stay. We loved the area and there were recommendations and tons of things to do! One of the best stays on AirBNB we have had!

New Waterfront Listing~Marine Gecko~Community Pool
Great location close to Marina and could park a boat right behind the house

Waterfront with Private Dock
My family and and I had a very nice time staying at their house. The host is very accommodating. The house is very nice and in a good location. Will definitely try to book again.

The Salty Shoebox OBX Oceanfront.
Our stay at Travis's place in Kitty Hawk was outstanding! You are in one of the best locations, right on the beach. The views, especially sunrise, can not be beat. We watched dolphins, schools of fish and we were even lucky enough to see whales up close. We took morning and afternoon walks on the beach and enjoyed the huge deck. This place is great for entertaining and having fun! This strip of beach in Kitty Hawk is always less used, which makes it great for those looking to escape the crowds. You are in walking distance to great restaurants and you are right in the middle of all the OBX has to offer. Travis was super accommodating and we felt right at home. We will definitely be back!

Oceanfront! Private Pool,Views,Elevator,Amenities!
Our stay in Corolla was our first visit to the Outerbanks. It was everything we had hoped for due in part to the great accommodations. We will absolutely be back for another stay.

Coastal living at Dock Landing!
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!

Waterfront,Pool,Game Room,Beach,DeepWaterAccess
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!

The North Shore House- OBX
Our stay at No Worries was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by breathtaking 360-degree views of the Roanoke Sound. The sunsets alone are worth the trip; truly a picture-perfect moment every evening. The home is spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed to accommodate a larger group comfortably. The two waterfront master bedrooms were a dream, offering peaceful views to wake up to each morning. For those of us who needed to catch up on a little work, the dedicated workspace and strong Wi-Fi were perfect. Self check-in was seamless, and Kelly’s hospitality as a Superhost shined through in every detail. If you’re looking for a peaceful, scenic getaway with all the comforts of home and more, No Worries is the place to be. We can’t wait to return, highly recommended!

Turtle Tides - Oceanfront Penthouse Retreat
My husband and I loved our stay at Turtle Tides! The view was amazing, the condo was very clean, and Gene was responsive to any messages sent through out the stay. We were there during the winter and loved that we could stay inside in the warmth and still look out to a beautiful view! We even saw dolphins from the deck our last morning! We would definitely stay here again.
