Kiteborn is ideal for kiters and windsurfers. Launch from our private dock/beach. We're in a private community with ocean beach access a two minute walk away as well. Kiteborn has amazing views of the sunset over Pamlico Sound. This is a great place for couples and solo adventurers, kiters, windsurfers, surfers, and other beach enthusiasts. This room has a desk for your laptop if you want to get some work done. Additionally, there is a folding card table in the closet which you can pull out for in-room meals, or an extra place to park your laptop. Under the house there is a kitchen with a full counter top, sink, 4 burner stove top, and gas bbq. Sorry, but we cannot accommodate pets or children under the age of 12. There is a Pet hotel/spa around the corner that will board pets while you stay here if that is an option you're interested in. Kiteborn is dedicated to being a calm relaxing location. We do ask guests to respect quiet hours 10pm - 7am in the common space.
The neighborhood/community is called Mirlo Beach. It is the first community as you travel south from the Pea Island Wildlife Refuge (and Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills, and Kitty Hawk). The community has a tennis court, a beach area on the sound (if you don't want to launch kites from the smaller area in front of Kiteborn), and private beach access across Hwy 12 for the ocean. The community has a tennis court, and its own private access to the ocean beach.
  • Staying here was like staying at your own place it was clean bright but warm, the coffee was FANTASTIC, loved the hot top very easy to get in and out of, perfect location especially if you are like us who enjoy the south end as much as traveling north. This home is nicely placed conveniently to south (hatteras ferry) and everything the north has to offer. Would stay here again!!

    Sally2020-03-14T00:00:00Z
  • All our needs and expectations were met or exceeded. We cant wait to stay at Kiteborn again.

  • Convenient, comfortable and everything you come to OBX for. Jared’s place is dialed in.

    Ryan2020-03-04T00:00:00Z
  • Highly recommended.

  • Jared, Becca and I had a wonderful time at your gorgeous house during the off season! First off, I’d like to say that your house is beautiful and I love the touch ups/ renovations that you have made to the bathrooms and living quarters. The house is very clean, the amenities that you offered were very nice for both the beach, bathroom and kitchen. Rodanthe is very quite and peaceful especially, your little neighborhood! There is a a private beach right outside the back deck which is really nice to lay out and catch the sunset off the dock! We enjoyed having morning breakfast on the back deck during our mornings . However, there is a way bigger beach right on open waters about a 5 min walk away! The hot tub is a great addition to your stay for an evening or morning dip as well! We didn’t get to talk to Jared to much however, his co host is very sweet as well. She was very welcoming. Nonetheless we didn’t see them to often throughout the duration of the stay which can be nice at times since you feel much more alone but the brief interactions we did have were very nice. Cozy home, nice bed, very clean, nice outdoor kitchen and beautiful place to be!

    Colby2019-12-09T00:00:00Z
  • Nice place, no living room, however.

    Ann2019-12-02T00:00:00Z
  • This place was great! Great parking, great hot tub, great room, and great amenities. It was wonderful to wake up with a water view every day.

    Rodanthe, NC, United States

    Welcome to the surf side in Rodanthe! One of the last untouched beaches on the east coast, we are home to miles of federally protected spaces that are ripe for exploration Located about 200 yards from the ocean front, this bedroom is a quaint and kitschy getaway. The perfect place to relax after a long day at the beach. The bathroom is shared with one other guest room. Rodanthe is a small village and it has that laid back beach feeling. Slow down and relax awhile.
    This room is subtlety beachy if not a little kitschy. It comes equipped with a mini fridge, microwave, and a coffee pot. It also has a Roku TV so you can log into your favorite streaming services and pick up where you left off. There is a small place to sit and enjoy your coffee.The dresser is in the large closet.
    Rodanthe is beautiful because the beaches are significantly less crowded than the northern beaches. If you wanted total seclusion, you would only need to drive about 5 miles into the refuge to park and walk. Or you can walk to the end of the street and take a dip in the morning (that's what I like to do). There is a great break right out front of the house for those that surf (or want to learn!) and about 400 yards down HWY 12 is our community's new skate park. If you are a skater, I highly suggest checking it out. Fun lines! Rodanthe has a charming village atmosphere. Everybody knows everybody.
  • Just what we were looking for. A great quiet place (off season) close to the water.

    Christian2020-02-29T00:00:00Z
  • Great place, great location. Really enjoyed that hot tub!

    Jeff2020-02-22T00:00:00Z
  • Abbe’s place is great. We shared a bathroom with another couple but it worked just fine. There were two other couples staying on the same floor but everyone was pretty quiet. Everything is quiet out there. It’s so peaceful, you can see the stars really well on a clear night. SO close to the beach. We loved it. It was our first Valentines weekend as a married couple and this weekend getaway spot was just what we needed. Clean, cute, and relaxing. The hot tub was amazing. Can’t wait to get back!

    Beatrice2020-02-16T00:00:00Z
  • Abbe's place is an ideal getaway spot that's close enough to the ocean to fall out the door for a day on the beach. This house is gorgeous and the rooms are clean, sunny, and spacious. Even though my room had a mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, I was welcomed up to the main floor to use the stove or French press if I wanted. Also, you can't beat that hot tub or the hammock with an ocean view on the guest balcony. There were others staying at the house while I was there, but I still felt like I had the whole place to myself as everyone was quiet and respectful. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a spot to take a load off on Hatteras for a short stay or a long one, and honestly, the price was incredible. I was bummed to have to leave such a comfortable space that felt like home.

    Liz2020-01-16T00:00:00Z
  • I had a great time staying at Abbe's place. Abbe was a great host and her place is in an amazing location. Highly recommended!

    Donnie2020-01-14T00:00:00Z
  • Great location, very nice room. Would stay again!

    Rhett2020-01-01T00:00:00Z
  • Cool place, amazing location! Nice house. Abbe is chill. I had a great time.

    James2019-12-28T00:00:00Z
  • Great Airbnb for the outer banks. It's ideally located between Corolla to the north and Hattaras to the south. The host is very friendly, helpful, and responsive. The hot tub is an unbeatable amenity in the Winter, so we were extremely satisfied with our stay.

Perfect for a couple's retreat or anyone who wants to enjoy the beachlife on Hatteras Island. Affordable, centrally located, quiet area. Two beach cruiser bikes available. Brand new outdoor shower.

Deck for lounging, yoga, or cooking out. Private beach yoga classes and organic fruit smoothies available upon request!
    The house is located at the end of a private drive. You can usually hear the waves crashing from the house. For those who have never been to this area, this is a very small town and does not have a big night life scene. This area is most enjoyed by those who like to play on the beach, explore the island, surf, kiteboard, paddleboard, kayak, sail, or otherwise enjoy nature, meet neat people, enjoy live music while watching the sunset, or having a bonfire under the stars. There are plenty of restaurants and stores in the village to enjoy. We are located within a very short walking distance to Hatteras Island Surf Shop for your watersports rental needs. We are about a 5 minute walk to Watermen's Bar and Grill, and 10-15 minute walk to Boardwalk South Restaurant, Waves Market and Deli, Atlantic Coast Cafe, Dairy Queen, and Sheila's Country Kitchen.
  • We stayed for 3 nights and loved it. Everything was as described. Provided condiments and toiletries were perfect. The bathroom is actually much bigger than it appears in the photos. The space worked very well for a couple! The short walk to the beach was very pleasant. We felt comfortable and safe the entire time. The bed was very comfortable, and the curtains in the bedroom did a great job blocking out the bright sun in the morning (if you like to sleep in!). We enjoyed the private back porch and loved hearing the ocean a few blocks away.

    Julie & Logan2019-12-01T00:00:00Z
  • Loved the coziness, very neat and clean! Great place for us to have alot of privacy and closeness to everything!! We enjoyed our time there!

    Jeanne Annette2019-11-14T00:00:00Z
  • Great value for the money. A good place to stay as a base of operations for days (and evening) at the beach and exploring—we stayed 9 nights. The place and immediate area isn’t high end but it is literally “hidden away” inside of such a neighborhood and is very clean and comfortable. It has a real “locals” feel about it. Quick and nice walk to the beach., close to most everything you go to OBX for. Very good outdoor shower for rinsing off salt and sand. Nice deck with large picnic table and 2 lounge chairs—a good place to cook out if you like that. Lindsey was very nice, helpful with advice when asked,and respectful of our privacy. We will definitely return!

    Erroll2019-11-12T00:00:00Z
  • This place was very nice. We could sit outside and eat. There was a clothesline to hang our clothes. We were close to pea island which was a great nature refuge.

    Deb2019-10-26T00:00:00Z
  • Very comfortable and clean place two blocks from beach and restaurant in quiet neighborhood.

    Peter2019-10-06T00:00:00Z
  • The description of the property was spot on, Lindsy has prepared a local guide that is very helpful with navigating the area if you have never been to this part of the Outer Banks, she is available by phone should you have questions or problems, she makes the stay personable and so not to spoil anything you will have to experience that upon your arrival. Wi-fi is available and the bathroom and bedroom is more then adequate for one or a couple. There is no TV but I went down for a week to fish and it was good to get away from all of the electronic leashes that most of us are attached to. I would not hesitate to return and hope to do so next year, Lindsy is a first class hostess and will go out of her way to assist you. I’d rate her as a 5 star person.

    Happy Hours is a family & pet friendly sound side beach cottage conveniently located next to Hatteras Jacks tackle shop in Rodanthe, NC on Hatteras Island. In this well stocked 2 bedroom 1 ½ bathroom home relax & enjoy amazingly beautiful sunsets with a non-obstructed view of the sound, with just a short walk to the beach!
  • Such a great, cute little house! Very clean, many thoughtful touches such as provided dog crate, beach wagon, a binder with restaurants and activities et cetera. Walking distance to beach and gorgeous view over the sound. Great host in general! Definitely recommend this place!

    Johanna2020-01-03T00:00:00Z
  • Happy Hours is a very sweet space. Megan had thought of everything. We wanted to cook and found all the tools we needed. The space was awesome for dogs. My dog spent most of his time hanging out in the enclosed porch. The beach is a little awkward to get to, but the sound is right next door. We are already planning our next trip :)

    Rebecca2019-12-26T00:00:00Z
  • Great house & great host. Anyone would live to stay in this immaculate pet friendly home. We will definately look it up for our next visit to Outbanks. Thanks Megan for your quick answers to all our questions & especially your hospitality. M Brown

    Mary2019-10-23T00:00:00Z
  • Megan was super attentive and made our stay very comfortable. Her home was perfect for us with the Sound behind the home and next door to a tackle shop (Hatteras Jacks) with people working there. Looking forward to returning!

    Victor2019-10-18T00:00:00Z
  • Megan’s place was the perfect place for our trip. We planned this very last minute and she accepted immediately. There was an issue with booking but that was not her fault, Air BnB double booked so we had to check out a day earlier than we planned, Megan called within minutes to advise us of the issue and was very apologetic. The access to the sound was steps away and the views were amazing! The house was very clean, she has a binder of things to do in the area, rules and expectations for leaving, and places to eat. I highly recommend this house and would stay there again. Thank you!

    Robin2019-10-04T00:00:00Z
  • Absolutely the best airbnb I've rented to date. Megan's place is very clean and offers more amenities than any place I've ever rented via airbnb; she even provides amenities for your furbabies (an indoor kennel for their leisure). Megan has even taken the time to compile a guide book with any and everything you need to know about the rental, as well as, the surrounding attractions. I also enjoyed the books detailing the history of the OBX provided at the rental. We chose to stay in Rodanthe as sort of a midway point in order to visit all of the sites we had on our list, and Megan's place provided that opportunity. We traveled as far north as Corolla, and to the furthest point south we could go on Hatteras. We most definitely will be returning to the OBX, AND this will be our go to rental -provided it's available. Fellow Jeepers... You have to drive the beaches here!

    Tina2019-09-28T00:00:00Z
  • This is a happy and fun place to stay.

    Ruth2019-09-22T00:00:00Z

    Check out our great off season prices!! AS LOW AS $50 a night! If you’re looking for a winter getaway our special is November-March for $1500 per month! Books up fast, perfect for soul searching and miles of secluded beach walks. Amazing Hatteras Island retreat cottage a few short steps to BOTH the ocean and the sound! Walk across the street to the ocean sunrises, or walk down our road to the beautiful sound sunsets! You won't get any closer to both bodies of water anywhere on the island.
    The private room features: - 1 King bed in bedroom and Queen pull out couch sleeping 4 total. Includes all linens and towels (1 towel and 1 washcloth per guest) - Full kitchen with coffee pot, microwave, including all utensils and cookware needed for a comfortable stay. (Please bring your own preferred spices) - Cable with movie channels - Wifi - TV with Roku including Netflix, HBOGO and much more - Full private bathroom - Beach chairs and umbrellas included - Pool with large deck and lounge chairs (Pool season starts around Memorial Day and goes to about Labor Day sometimes into October..this is also dependent on the climate in early spring and late fall and could start earlier and end later.) - Charcoal Grill THIS IS ONE OF 2 OF OUR RENTALS ON THE PROPERTY. If this space doesn't suite your needs, we also have a studio apartment on the lower level of our home (not pet friendly). Check em' out on my page!
    Whether you're here to surf, kiteboard, fish, kayak, beach walk, sightsee or even go horseback riding....we have you covered! Everything is either within walking distance, available on site, or a short drive away. Rodanthe is an amazing part of the island and centrally located on the Outer Banks! Being that it's the smallest section and directly next to the wildlife refuge, the beaches are a lot less crowded than the beaches north in Nags Head or south in Avon. There are a few restaurants (only 1 late night bar) and other conveniences nearby but outside of that, the island is quiet and relaxing. If you are here for kiteboarding, Hatteras Island Sail Shop (HISS) is down the road, Barton and his son Reider are hands down the people to see if you're looking for lessons or anything surf/kite, they will give you a great value and a more personal experience. Special discount to our guests on lessons and rentals with HISS making this the best deal on the island for kiteboarding lessons! Watermans/REAL is about 2 miles away. They have live music nightly and a restaurant in the summer along with a great sunset view. There are a few other local restaurants within walking/biking distance and all locally run. Hatteras Lighthouse is a 30 minute drive away and the Bodie Lighthouse is 20 minutes away. You can ride horses on the beach in Buxton only 30 minutes away or you can get a surf lesson by your host, Jeremy, with given notice before your stay.
  • This place exceeded my expectations by a long shot its absolutely beautiful the beach is so close and Dawn and Jeremy are so nice! Will most definitely be back and not only is Dawn's family amazing so is everyone here in town! I cant say enough about how absolutely incredible our stay was!!

    Kirstin2019-10-31T00:00:00Z
  • This super spacious cottage was perfect for my family of 5 (one of us is furry with paws!) We met Jeremy and he was super informative about what to expect with the area and made us feel welcome and comfortable staying next to his family home. Having access to the beach right across the street allowed us to spend every single day there. The outdoor shower right outside the cottage was perfect for cleaning up after each beach day. We checked out Cape Hatteras light house, the Salvo Sound area, and different beach spots. The local restaurants were tasty but pricey! I would absolutely recommend Dawns place to anyone and definitely plan on coming back! Thank you guys again!

    Briana2019-10-28T00:00:00Z
  • Dawn's place is a FANTASTIC place to stay! It's perfect for two people, looking to get away and relax. Rodanthe is pretty much mid-way down the outer banks and is in a perfect location. Exactly what you'd expect from the quaint, windswept dunes and perfect sand beaches. Not a lot of hustle and bustle but that is exactly what we wanted. Dawn is VERY responsive and was full of great suggestions! HIGHLY recommend this property!

    Steve2019-10-20T00:00:00Z
  • Beautiful area and this is a great place to stay. Close to the beach for convenience. Comfortable living space.

    David2019-10-16T00:00:00Z
  • Good place, great value

    Tim2019-10-15T00:00:00Z
  • I couldn't have asked for a better host or location! My boyfriend and I were in need of a break from city living, and Dawn's beach "shack" was the perfect spot. It was cozy and comfortable, and just steps from the Atlantic and the Sound. Dawn is fantastic - and couldn't have been more understanding and hospitable when the weather threw us a few curve-balls. We hope to be back soon!

    Audrey2019-10-11T00:00:00Z
  • Great stay! We enjoyed the location being only steps from the beach and not far from some restaurants and shops. The amenities were very nice with provided beach chairs, outdoor shower to remove sand, and a nice pool. Overall a great value for the location. We especially loved being greeted by Miss Kitty when we headed out to explore the area each day. Highly recommend.

This time around there was a nice addition, an Amazon Firestick, for all of our streaming needs. We also brought along kayaks this time and there was enough room on the front porch to put 2 11ft kayaks while we explored other areas of the island. Neighbors are friendly too!

    Remodeled in April 2019, Sandpiper is a quaint house nestled in the village of Salvo. Ideal for couples seeking a romantic retreat and small families wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, Sandpiper feels cozy while maintaining Hatteras Island charm and natural beauty. A well-appointed cottage with comforts of home, Sandpiper invites you to unwind and relax with hours of fishing, surfing, beachcombing, shopping, kiteboarding, shell hunting, sunbathing, and family time.
    Built in 1979 by the current owner’s grandfather and father, this cozy cottage was one of the first rental properties in Salvo. Over the last 40 years, Sandpiper has continued to host and amaze visitors with its prime ocean-side location, just yards away from the Atlantic Ocean, and stunning views of sunsets over the Pamlico Sound. Modern upgrades and renovations were completed on the property in April 2019. Beautiful craftsmanship, natural lighting, and simple comfortable furnishings create an aesthetic that allows your mind and body to unwind after a day of fun. The main gathering area is open with a fully-stocked kitchen, living, and dining areas. There are two private bedrooms, both with new queen size beds and doors that lock for your privacy, and one full-sized bathroom. A gabled covered porch runs the length of the house and offers additional entertaining space; allowing you to live indoors or out. On the west side of the cottage, a private shower helps you to rinse off the beach and enjoy the splendor of outdoor bathing. We are friendly to all guests, but please note that we do not provide a crib, high chair, and other items for infants and toddlers. But please feel free to bring what you need if you are traveling with small children. Also, due to local regulations, infants and toddlers must be included in the total guest count. There is off-street parking for up to two vehicles in an unpaved driveway next to the cottage.
    Sandpiper is located on an ocean-side street less than 300 yards to the beautiful and surreal Cape Hatteras National Seashore overlooked by the Old Richmond; a Civil War era shipwreck. Sandpiper is minutes away from a multitude of Hatteras Island’s hidden wonders and historical landmarks including the Salvo Day Use Area, four-wheel drive beach access, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Chicamicomico Life Saving Station, Kitty Hawk Kites, and miles of untouched beaches.
  • Great trip super close to the beach!

  • Charm is what you should expect with this support clean cottage. Very up to date and decorated so well. Simple but had all the necessities you could think of. Having less than 3 steps to enter the nice porch area was a great plus to us. Friendly Street that was close to a market with deli and Waterman’s Bar and Grill with seafood. Both were suggested by host and both were excellent! Highly recommend this host👍❣️

    Angela2019-10-27T00:00:00Z

    Gary2019-10-20T00:00:00Z
  • We loved it and can't wait to come back! The neighbors were great and we loved how simple the cottage and street were - not overwhelmed by imposing huge houses. The personal touches like the flowers and how linens were provided made the stay so very comfortable. The beds and everything else were so comfortable and clean. Great place for a getaway!

    Leslie2019-10-19T00:00:00Z
  • This house is the perfect get away for a party of two or four. Immaculate and well appointed, this home makes a trip to the Outer Banks a wonderful occasion. An extremely attractive value for the price.

Kiteborn has amazing views of the sunset over Pamlico Sound. This is a great place for couples and solo adventurers, kiters, windsurfers, surfers, and other beach enthusiasts. Under the house there is a kitchen with a full counter top, sink, 4 burner stove top, and gas bbq. Kiteborn is dedicated to being a calm relaxing location. We do ask guests to respect quiet hours 10pm - 7am in the common space. Sorry, but we cannot accommodate pets or children under the age of 12. There is a Pet hotel/spa around the corner that will board pets while you stay here if that is an option you're interested in.
    The neighborhood/community is called Mirlo Beach. It is the first community as you travel south from the Pea Island Wildlife Refuge (and Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills, and Kitty Hawk). The community has a tennis court, a beach area on the sound (if you don't want to launch kites from the smaller area in front of Kiteborn), and private beach access across Hwy 12 for the ocean. The community has a tennis court, and its own private access to the ocean beach.
  • This was my first time in an Airbnb and did not know what to expect. We chose room 2 which I would recommend because we had a back porch and had a breathtaking view of the sound (which was amazing to look at every morning). The room was a lot nicer than in the pictures, the rooms have been updated and so has the bathroom. The house is gorgeous and clean. The host never hovered and I never noticed the other guest. The host was always there when I needed though. It was nice to have a full kitchen under the house, they provided pots and pans, which was extremely helpful. We also had access to beach chairs and bikes, and so many more. It was a perfect place to stay for a quiet, peaceful vacation. After this stay, I will for sure go to another Airbnb, but this experience I will never forget due to the outstanding hospitality, feeling outmost safe, and most importantly at home. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation in a small rustic town, this is the place for you. Even though Rodanthe does not have a lot to do, a few miles south or north there are towns with more, but do not miss out on this place to stay just because of the location because I promise you it is worth it!

  • Such an amazing house with a great host! I stayed in #2 Kiteborn and the beauty of the view really exceeded my expectations. My room was very clean and had amenities equal to that of a hotel but much more sustainable. I came for a peaceful solo-cation and Kiteborn delivered.

    Remy2020-03-02T00:00:00Z
  • Jared was the ultimate host! I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a quaint, quiet, quality getaway. Everything was as nice, if not nicer than the photos shown in the listing—and his kindness and hospitality really took the cake. There are some really great amenities available during your stay at Kiteborn. Jacuzzi tub, pool table, kayaks, etc. I absolutely loved the stellar views of the Carolina sunsets while relaxing in the Jacuzzi. He suggested places to eat and things to do and I felt more than welcome into his home. If you find yourself coasting through Rodanthe, Kiteborn is definitely the place to be. I assure you that it won’t disappoint!

    Erin2020-01-27T00:00:00Z
  • Nice place, if you like nice sunsets and sitting in a hot tub!

    Sam2019-12-31T00:00:00Z
  • Only positive experience. Jared's hospitality even beats location that is superb by definition. Coming back!

    Dmitriy2019-12-15T00:00:00Z

    Koichi2019-12-01T00:00:00Z

    Susan2019-11-25T00:00:00Z
  • Great place to stay. Great location, sound on one side and ocean close by. Ocean close enough that you can hear it from the front yard. Lots of toys to play with in the water or on the road. Great host, very friendly and helpful.

  • Evelyn's place is a great value for couples looking to stay near the southern OBX beaches. The quick walk to the beach and outdoor shower made beach outings quick and cleanup easy. Being south of the KOA campgrounds provided a truly secluded beach experience and we saw a number of sea turtle nests, crabs, dolphins, and other sea creatures. Will be back!

    Curtis2019-09-02T00:00:00Z
  • Evelyn was great and very responsive. Short walk to a very uncrowded beach. Easy access to Hatteras island.

    David2019-08-25T00:00:00Z
  • Evelyn was a dream host for any AirB&B traveler! I was so lucky to spend a few days with my boyfriend at her lovely home. She was so accommodating and kind. The place is a short walk to a beach access at the end of her street. It is also 2 miles from the Rodanthe pier and about a half hour from hatteras lighthouse. Lovely location to not feel super “tourist-y” but with plenty of cute shops/restaurants/stores. There is a dollar general close by and a foodlion 15 minutes in the town over. Would definitely recommend this little gem! Perfect size for two—lovely studio style apartment setup with the sweetest host out there! I hope to go back soon :)

    Alexandra2019-08-23T00:00:00Z
  • We had a wonderful time at Evelyn’s “Home away from Home”. Evelyn gave us useful tips regarding our visit even before our stay. On the day of our stay she received us and provided all the necessary information needed for the stay. The place was clean and well maintained . We will definitely go back if we are in the area.

    Ananth2019-08-18T00:00:00Z
  • The accommodations were very nice, clean, and quiet. Evelyn’s home was a wonderful and very safe place to stay.

    David And Janet2019-08-15T00:00:00Z
  • Evelyn was so welcoming! We enjoyed our little stay, felt so spoiled. Hopefully there will be a next time!

    Teagan2019-08-08T00:00:00Z
  • This is such an amazing find. We stayed here with our two small sons and it was perfect. We cooked meals and slept well. The walk to the beach was INCREDIBLE. It’s maybe a 4 minute walk down the street to a boardwalk. We spent so much time at the beach, came back and made lunch, then went back to the beach. It’s THAT close and THAT convenient. We rented bikes and biked all over the island. It was incredible. I don’t think we could have asked for a more central and quiet location. The apartment is small- but has everything you could possibly need to have a good time. Evelyn has an outdoor shower and clothesline so you don’t drag sand all over the place, which was a life saver. The host, Evelyn, is so sweet. She was very accommodating and recommended lots of fun things to do and good places to eat. Our two year old loved chatting with her. We will be returning next year for certain. You won’t be disappointed.

    Michael2019-07-31T00:00:00Z
  • Evelyn’s place was perfect for our stay at the beach. The kitchen definitely came in handy when we didn’t want to go out to eat. Everything was super clean & it was probably one of the best Airbnb’s I’ve stayed in as far as quality, price, and amenities.

  • The place was everything I needed, there is a public walkway to the beach just 3 houses down and Avon is a great middle place for a few good kite beaches.

  • This is a wonderful stay. Very cute apartment with so many loving touches. The home is very clean and there are amenities which give you freedom to eat in or out. She is a very short walk to the beach and the scenery is beautiful. She is also a short ride to most anything you want to see and do. The Vintage Mermaid was a great choice for us. We hope to go back again soon.

    Heather2019-10-07T00:00:00Z
  • Jenni’s place is perfect for your next beach getaway! It’s right next to the ocean just as the description says and is a clean, quiet retreat from those long, sunny, and sandy days. There is a mermaid theme all throughout the cottage/apartment that was very thoughtfully done and added that extra charm. I absolutely loved staying here and hope to be back soon!

    Elizabeth2019-09-01T00:00:00Z
  • The place was so cute and comfy and clean. The mermaid art really made me happy! It is right next to the beach and there was never a crowd. We couldn't have asked for anything better! Jenni answered all of my questions very quickly but also gave us space to enjoy our trip. Lovely host! We will definitely stay here when we come back!

  • A wonderful place with an absolutely outstanding host!!!

    Eli2019-09-13T00:00:00Z
  • Vic was a fantastic host! She was very friendly and provided plenty of recommendations. Her place is centrally located near everything you'd want to do in the outer banks.

    Nate2019-09-02T00:00:00Z
  • Amazing place to stay at! Close to the beach and sound, lots of things to do and places to eat at close by! Vic was an amazing host and was able to answer all of our questions!

    Deborah2019-08-21T00:00:00Z
  • This was my first experience renting a room in someone’s home. Vic was a gracious and calm host. Eager to make my stay the best. Most importantly she is not intrusive and I felt as though I was alone most of the time. Her home is warm and in a great location on the island. Just ask and Vic will generously share her local knowledge and recommendations. Great experience.

    Lauren2019-08-12T00:00:00Z

    Ben2019-07-23T00:00:00Z
  • Vicky is a great host! She was always ready to help with any questions, suggestions, tips, and even shared some great food! There is plenty of space, and even when another couple was staying in the house, we never had an issue with amenities. Her place is very well kept, and has everything you could need for a great time at the beach!

    Welcome to the beach :) One of the last untouched beaches on the east coast, we are home to miles of federally protected spaces that are ripe for exploration Located about 200 yards from the ocean front, this bedroom has a private bathroom and private access to the porch. Rodanthe is a small village and it has that laid back beach feeling. Slow down and relax awhile.
    The bedroom has an attached bathroom and a private entrance to the porch, however the porch is a shared space. The room is simple and clean as well as the bathroom. The porch is where the hot tub is located. You are welcome to use the washer and dryer that are located on the same floor. The room is equipped with a mini fridge, a microwave, a coffee pot, and a Roku television, so all you need to do is log onto your favorite streaming service and pick up where you left off at home.
    Rodanthe is beautiful because the beaches are significantly less crowded than the northern beaches. If you wanted total seclusion, you would only need to drive about 5 miles into the refuge to park and walk. Or you can walk to the end of the street and take a dip in the morning (that's what I like to do). There is a great break right out front of the house for those that surf (or want to learn!) and about 400 yards down HWY 12 is our community's new skate park. If you are a skater, I highly suggest checking it out. Fun lines!
  • Very clean room, simple check-in. Great value for the price. We had a great stay on OBX.

  • Very clean place, I was pleased with the layout and it was nice having a door from the room that leads to the hot tub and balcony. Host was very quick and nice with responses and made us feel welcome. Also very close to the beach and there is a good selection of seashells in the area.

    Zach2020-02-09T00:00:00Z

    Kevin2019-12-21T00:00:00Z
  • This was a great weekend trip! Quiet, and well sized space for a relaxing and romantic get away. The room was in tip top shape, with great access to the hot tub and to the beach. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub on chilly nights and sea shell hunting during the day. The local coffee shops and food do not disappoint and the complimentary coffee in the room was excellent! Abbe thought of everything we could need, from plenty of linens, to easy access laundry, utensils, mini fridge, hangers and a drying rack in the closet, plenty of toilet paper and hand soap, a microwave and access to all our favorite smart TV packages! (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc.). The space was squeaky clean upon arrival and we enjoyed the privacy of a corner room. Thanks again for having us!

    Casa Creekside is a quaint two bedroom home that sits on the back of a residential cul-de-sac and is adjacent Mill Creek, which is directly accessible to the Pamlico Sound. Only two blocks to the ocean, it sleeps 4-5 and features outdoor living amenities like two private upstairs decks and a hot tub overlooking the creek.
    The ocean is a short 5 minute walk directly across the street, with a public boardwalk leading the way over the beautiful double dunes. The yard is landscaped and lined with large pine trees on the south and Russian olives and oleanders to the north. On the back of the house near the creek, live oaks thrive giving you privacy like non other while enjoying a soak in your private hot tub. There is Wi-Fi in the house, and TV equipped with a Roku stick for streaming TV such as YouTube & Netflix etc.
    Leslie Lane is one of the true hidden gem neighborhoods of Avon. It is full of friendly, lazy dogs which love to come and say hello and the friendliest people Hatteras has to offer. Once here, your treated like family all the way down the street.
  • We unfortunately had to cancel our trip to Daniel's place at the last minute due to travel restrictions because of COVID-19. Daniel was so accommodating and understanding when we had to cancel our trip on short notice! We hope that we can sometime make it to Daniel's place for a proper visit!

    Rebekah2020-03-25T00:00:00Z

    Tim2020-01-03T00:00:00Z
  • We went to the OBX to spend Christmas. We were looking for quiet, comfortable and close to the ocean. Daniel's cottage definitely delivered and was above and beyond what we expected. It was perfect for our furbabies (two labs). The kitchen was a great place to prepare meals. We spent many evenings in the hot tub watching the stars. Everything was very clean and comfortable in the cottage. We were a short walk from the beach in a private cul de sac, which means that it was quiet when we wanted to relax. It felt like a well loved and lived in home, not just a rental. Daniel left lots of little extras for us, such as toilet paper, laundry soap and dryer sheets (it was perfect to have a washer and dryer right there), dish soap, paper towels, etc. The creek behind the house drew some beautiful heron into our sights. The property is large and well taken care of. Daniel painted a beautiful picture of his home and everything was at least a little better than what we expected. Thank you for a wonderful place to spend our first married Christmas together.

    Pet friendly, affordable, studio efficiency. Anyone and everyone welcome! Walking distance to the beach and sound. Restaurants and shops within walking distance. Friendly walking path along Hwy 12. Great place for couples, friends, surfers, kiteboarders, nature lovers, and beach lovers. Awesome location to kick back and chill. Extra fee for pets. Please let the host know when requesting dates. This is an apartment/ efficiency located directly under my house. Enclosed outside shower.
    There is a path at the end of my street that takes you to the beach. The street is mostly locals and is usually quiet. I have had reviews that the location is not accurate. The room is located in the village of Waves on Hatteras Island Oceanside of Hwy 12. Five minute walking distance to the beach. I do have a roku tv . I do not have cable.
    The neighborhood here is small but busy during the summer.
  • Lynn is amazing. The space is perfect. Close to the beach. Very clean. And everything you need. I love and miss the outdoor shower. Thank you so much Lynn

Our jets are on the mellow side, so if you are looking for a tub that has very strong tub jets, this one doesn’t. House is normally rented for full weeks, Sunday to Sunday during high season (June-August.) Check in at 4:30 pm, check out at 10 am. We will pay for half of our guests' required travel insurance costs (generally $50-$100). Protect your trip cost for a small fee. Most of our guests are large families coming to the Island to reconnect and have fun. When life interferes (illness, legal responsibilities, weather etc.), this small investment goes a long way to provide some peace of mind. Sound vs. Ocean side... Folks often ask me why I choose to be on the sound side instead of the ocean. It's a matter of personal preference, of course. Sound side is more serene, relaxed and quiet and you don't feel like you are sharing your vacation with hundreds of other beach goers. Having said that if you want to mix and match you can always cross to the Ocean side - takes 5 min. I am not an early riser, so even though I love sunrises on the ocean side I am not usually up that early to enjoy them, especially when on vacation. This makes the sunset displays off our deck one of the biggest highlights of this location. If you have children in your party, depending on how old they are being on the Sound side can be a great advantage - no violent waves or rip currents to worry about. They can simply walk into the calm water and swim, play and enjoy. You also get the homey feel and a contained space where it is easier to watch the kids as it's just you and your family on the beach. Teenagers may want to do some kayaking, windsurfing, sailing or kiteboarding - all better suited for the sound side. I also like the fact that you can walk to the local fishing village, watch the sailboats and the simple life that goes on there - just a different feel, more local, less touristy. It's a matter of preference. If you or your kids/family are into kitesurfing/windsurfing/kayaking/sailing - Sound side is the place to be! Prevailing winds are side-on-shore SW and the water is relatively shallow making it a safer environment for the wind/water sport enthusiasts to enjoy their hobbies. For surfers on the other hand, Oceanside location is certainly the place to be. All that said, some folks prefer Oceanside locations and there are certainly plenty of gorgeous spots to choose from! Those are usually quite a bit more expensive though. About the neighborhood: Avon is Rustic and full of energy. It is a kiteboarding and windsurfing mecca due to ideal wind and beach conditions. Avon is an old Hatteras Island village that has become synonymous with recreational surf fishing, and the Avon pier is a hot spot for those in pursuit of big gamefish like Red Drum. Just north of Buxton, this once tiny village of watermen and their families has grown to be a highly coveted vacationing experience with pristine, natural beaches and beautiful rental cottages. But Avon still retains its tight knit community feel. Even though you can find fantastic seafood restaurants, a supermarket, and some of the conveniences of home, a rustic atmosphere still permeates Avon. You may hear Avon referred to as Kinnakeet by some locals. It was the name local tribe of Algonkian Indians gave the area, and later adopted by settlers. But in 1883, the U.S. Postal Service redubbed the village Avon, like they did with most of the Hatteras Island communities. On the sound side of Avon, on the western side of Highway 12, you may see kiteboarders performing amazing aerial stunts and windsurfers racing across the surface of the Pamlico Sound. Nearby Kite point and Canadian Hole were named after the popularity of this public access spots with kiteboarders and with our visitors from the north. In the early spring, many watersports lovers flock here from Canada, Massachusets, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other points north, because it is still quite cold at home and these enthusiastic athletes can't wait to have a little fun on the water. No handicap access.
    Very quiet, family friendly. Folks often ask me why I choose to be on the sound side instead of the ocean. It's a matter of personal preference, of course. But here are my thoughts: Sound vs. Ocean side... Sound side is more serene, relaxed and quiet and you don't feel like you are sharing your vacation with hundreds of other beach goers. Having said that if you want to mix and match you can always cross to the Ocean side - takes 5 min. I am not an early riser, so even though I love sunrises on the ocean side I am not usually up that early to enjoy them, especially when on vacation. This makes the sunset displays off our deck one of the biggest highlights of this location. If you have children in your party, depending on how old they are being on the Sound side can be a great advantage - no violent waves or rip currents to worry about. They can simply walk into the calm water and swim, play and enjoy. You also get the homey feel and a contained space where it is easier to watch the kids as it's just you and your family on the beach. Teenagers may want to do some kayaking, windsurfing, sailing or kiteboarding - all better suited for the sound side. I also like the fact that you can walk to the local fisherman village, watch the sailboats and the simple life that goes on there - just a different feel, more local, less touristy. It's a matter of preference. If you or your kids/family are into kitesurfing/windsurfing/kayaking/sailing - Sound side is the place to be! Prevailing winds are side-on-shore SW and the water is relatively shallow making it a safer environment for the wind/water sport enthusiasts to enjoy their hobbies. For surfers on the other hand, Oceanside location is certainly the place to be. All that said, some folks prefer Oceanside locations and there are certainly plenty of gorgeous spots to choose from! Those are usually quite a bit more expensive though. About the neighborhood: Avon is Rustic and full of energy. It is a kiteboarding and windsurfing mecca due to ideal wind and beach conditions. Avon is an old Hatteras Island village that has become synonymous with recreational surf fishing, and the Avon pier is a hot spot for those in pursuit of big gamefish like Red Drum. Just north of Buxton, this once tiny village of watermen and their families has grown to be a highly coveted vacationing experience with pristine, natural beaches and beautiful rental cottages. But Avon still retains its tight knit community feel. Even though you can find fantastic seafood restaurants, a supermarket, and some of the conveniences of home, a rustic atmosphere still permeates Avon. You may hear Avon referred to as Kinnakeet by some locals. It was the name local tribe of Algonkian Indians gave the area, and later adopted by settlers. But in 1883, the U.S. Postal Service redubbed the village Avon, like they did with most of the Hatteras Island communities. On the sound side of Avon, on the western side of Highway 12, you may see kiteboarders performing amazing aerial stunts and windsurfers racing across the surface of the Pamlico Sound. Nearby Kite point and Canadian Hole were named after the popularity of this public access spots with kiteboarders and with our visitors from the north. In the early spring, many watersports lovers flock here from Canada, Massachusets, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other points north, because it is still quite cold at home and these enthusiastic athletes can't wait to have a little fun on the water.
  • A lovely property without peer on Hatteras Island. The amenities make for absolute comfort while the grounds surround you with beauty. I can't wait to visit again!

  • Natalie's place us an absolute dream!! Right on the water, this place is such a perfect place to disconnect from reality and truly enjoy the sun, sand, and beach. We really couldn't have asked for a better vacation and host.....Natalie was so prompt and gracious with everything. We will CERTAINLY be back! 🌊❤☀️

  • Great location and view of the sound. Good space and bedrooms. Housekeeping wasn’t complete prior to our arrival (after 4pm check-in time) and beds weren’t made. Weeds all over the property were a bit unsightly.

    Brock2019-07-28T00:00:00Z
  • Great location with many things to do!

    Tina2019-07-07T00:00:00Z
  • Natalie's Avon house is wonderful. The water views are million dollar views. The house was spotless and we'll stocked with everything you need. We had 10 family members and everyone was comfortable. Plenty of room for all to sit down and eat and loads of games. The kayaks were a big hit. The sunsets were gorgeous. Restaurants nearby were very good. Very relaxing vacation with family and we all hope to do it again. Natalie answered any questions within minutes. It was an awesome vacation.

    Judith2019-06-30T00:00:00Z
  • Natalie is a wonderful host and the home is beautiful. Perfect location away from all of the crowds with lots of things to do at the house.

    Mark2019-06-23T00:00:00Z
  • I can’t say enough wonderful things about this home. The location was perfect. We traveled with a large family with a smaller child and teenagers. Everyone enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding and crab hunting. The older kids enjoyed the tennis club and gym membership as well. Short walk to the ocean side or bike ride with the bikes provided by Natalie. The house was well maintained, clean and was open, inviting and with an incredible view!! The dining area was large enough for our party of 12 and the kitchen was well equipped for making large meals. Whenever I did have a question, Natalie responded very quickly and took care of business! Our entire party loved their vacation and all would like to come back again.

    Cozy studio with a private entrance equipped with everything you need. four houses down from the beach, 1.5 miles from Salvo day use area offering a kiteboarding launch spot, picnic tables, grills, restrooms & parking. There is a fishing store and a gas station with a super market within walking distance. This peaceful getaway is a great place for couples and solo adventurers, kiters, windsurfers, surfers, and other beach enthusiasts.
  • This was an amazing spot to stay. A quick 5 minute walk to the beach, the location was amazing and the place was just as described. Really appreciate the fantastic hospitality and local tips! Highly recommend!

    Jacob2019-10-13T00:00:00Z
  • This place is a nice, cozy getaway for one person or a couple. No frills, but the location is great. 5 minute walk to the beach and a short drive to local shops, restaurants, etc.

    Erin2019-09-02T00:00:00Z
  • A small very simple accommodation but quite suitable for our first stay in the Outer banks. Very pleasant environment with absolute calm, a beautiful beach at the end of the path and an ideal situation to visit these magnificent and still preserved islands.

    François2019-08-05T00:00:00Z
  • Great beach!

    Joel2019-07-28T00:00:00Z

    Tammy2019-07-06T00:00:00Z

    LeeAnn2019-06-29T00:00:00Z
  • Perfect little place for a getaway. Right near the beach, walking distance and in the middle of Salvo, NC in the OBX. Neighbors are VERY friendly, one of them works at Vape Hatteras and the other is right in front of the house and takes care of the cats people leave behind on vacation. Didn’t speak with Don but the co host Eric was very nice and super accommodating. Definitely recommend!!

    Sean2019-06-16T00:00:00Z
  • Perfect place for a couple or single beachgoer! Easily the best deal we could find. Great full kitchen (watch out, a lot of places don’t offer a stove/oven), great bathroom/shower, great beach access. Lots of cute beach cats live in the neighborhood. Really conveniently located, right by the beach access spot and easy walk to a couple convenience stores. Good coffee available down the street at the blue whale. Also very close to the salvo sound day use area, which is beautiful to visit during the day and during the sunset. We’re a couple of travelers who are usually loyal to Avon, but the airbnbs available down there were way too pricey. This place was perfect for us; only a 15 minute drive away from the Avon pier and uglie mugs cafe, our favorite obx spots to spend days. We loved getting to know salvo too. Would definitely stay here again!

    Newly remodeled in February 2020, Osprey is a quaint house nestled in the village of Salvo. Ideal for couples seeking a romantic retreat and small families wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, Osprey feels cozy while maintaining Hatteras Island charm and natural beauty. A well-appointed cottage with comforts of home, Osprey invites you to unwind and relax!
    Built in 1978 by the current owner’s grandfather and father, this cozy cottage was one of the first rental properties in Salvo. Over the last 40 years, Osprey has continued to host and amaze visitors with its prime ocean-side location, just yards away from the Atlantic Ocean, and stunning views of sunsets over the Pamlico Sound. Modern upgrades and renovations were completed on the property in February 2020. Beautiful craftsmanship, natural lighting, and simple comfortable furnishings create an aesthetic that allows your mind and body to unwind after a day of fun. The main gathering area is open with a fully-stocked kitchen, living, and dining areas. There are two private bedrooms, both with new queen size beds and doors that lock for your privacy, and one full-sized bathroom. A front porch runs the length of the house and offers additional entertaining space; allowing you to live indoors or out. On the north side of the cottage, a private shower helps you to rinse off the beach and enjoy the splendor of outdoor bathing. We are friendly to all guests, but please note that we do not provide essentials for infants and toddlers. But please feel free to bring what you need if you are traveling with small children. Also, due to local regulations, infants and toddlers must be included in the total guest count. The entire home is accessible for your enjoyment. There is an ocean beach access at the end of the street. The access is not handicap accessible and it is recommended to wear flip-flops or sandals across the dunes and to stay on the path due to the abundance of cactuses. Osprey is located less than one half (0.5) mile from the Salvo Day Use Area; an opportune spot for families with smaller children to explore the Pamlico Sound and for adults and older children looking to kayak, kiteboard, canoe, and watch beautiful sunsets. In addition, adjacent to the Salvo Day Use Area is a four-wheel drive beach access for guests to enjoy with the purchase of an off-road driving permit from the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
    Osprey is located on an ocean-side street 300 yards to the beautiful and surreal Cape Hatteras National Seashore overlooked by the Old Richmond; a Civil War era shipwreck. Osprey is minutes away from a multitude of Hatteras Island’s hidden wonders and historical landmarks including the Salvo Day Use Area, four-wheel drive beach access, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Chicamicomico Life Saving Station, Kitty Hawk Kites, and miles of untouched beaches.

    Happy Ours is close to the beach and Sound, restaurants, coffee shop & local bars. You’ll love the coziness. Our place is good for couples, solo adventurers, or business travelers. Queen bed in roomy bedroom, loveseat & bistro table for two in living room/kitchen. Full size stack Whirlpool washer/dryer, 24" TV with Roku. New deck for ‘19. Outside shower, fish cleaning table, hose. Cooler, beach chairs & boogie boards for guest use. No smoking allowed on property, no guests (sleeps 2 only).
    Relax in the heart of Avon, historically called Kinnakeet. Happy Ours is located on the Sound side of the Highway, in Avon Village, around the corner from the Harbor (great sunsets from there!). Avon is centrally located for all of the best spots to fish, drive on the beach, swim, sun bathe, surf, paddleboard, walk, hike, and bike. Just a short drive to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in Buxton and Southern beaches. Most everything in Avon is within walking or biking distance. Our place is in a quiet neighborhood. We have hammocks, elevated deck, a swing, table and chairs in the under house, shaded common area.
    We love the quiet atmosphere of Avon Village. We are a few minutes' walk from the Harbor, and there are sidewalks to the main highway for shopping, coffee shops, ice cream parlors, restaurants, and bars. You can rent bikes and beach equipment just moments away at Ocean Atlantic Rentals in Avon. There is four wheel drive beach access both north and south of town, and the most convenient beach access by foot is at the Avon Pier (a short drive or bike ride away). There is also beach access at any oceanside street by either a boardwalk or beach path.
  • Outstanding place to experience the natural beauty that the Outer Banks is. Avon is a perfect location that is smack dab in the middle of every attraction that you could imagine. The apartment is exactly as described and very clean. Definitely recommend!

    Brady2020-03-14T00:00:00Z
  • Mandy’s place is spectacular, very clean and perfect for Hatteras getaway. She was very quick with her responses and it is obvious she cares about the experience her guest’s have. Would highly recommend to anyone going to Hatteras!

    Larry2020-03-10T00:00:00Z
  • We had an amazing time staying at Happy Ours. The outdoor space was wonderful and we were able to walk to the beach! The kitchen was nice and the washer and dryer is a huge plus! Amanda and family have created a great space and I’m so glad they are able to share it!

    Grace2020-03-06T00:00:00Z
  • Perfect little getaway. My wife and I had a great stay during the off-season. Amanda was a perfect balance of being there and not there. She was quick to give ideas when we asked, but did not intrude in any way. She really is a “super” host. The place is very clean with everything you need. We cooked breakfast each day and made lunch for our excursions. There’s not a lot open during the off-season and therefore we had to create our own adventures so take that into account if you go as we did ... during the off-season.

    Doug2020-02-19T00:00:00Z

    Welcome to the surf side in Rodanthe! One of the last untouched beaches on the east coast, we are home to miles of federally protected spaces that are ripe for exploration Located about 200 yards from the ocean front, this bedroom features a king sized bed with many windows for that great vit D we all crave. The bathroom is shared with one other guest room. I hope you feel refreshed while in my home. Rodanthe is a small village and it has that laid back beach feeling. Slow down and relax awhile
    This bright room is filled with a deliciously comfortable bed. It has a large closet and dresser, perfect if you are staying for a while. The room also includes a mini fridge, microwave, coffee pot, and a Roku TV so you can log into your streaming services and pick up where you left off. I intend for you to feel like you are in a stress free zone during your stay. We are at the beach, after all.
    Rodanthe is beautiful because the beaches are significantly less crowded than the northern beaches. If you wanted total seclusion, you would only need to drive about 5 miles into the refuge to park and walk. Or you can walk to the end of the street and take a dip in the morning (that's what I like to do). There is a great break right out front of the house for those that surf (or want to learn!) and about 400 yards down HWY 12 is our community's new skate park. If you are a skater, I highly suggest checking it out. Fun lines! Rodanthe has a charming village atmosphere. Everybody knows everybody.
  • Abbe’s place was very clean and tidy. We stayed in a beautiful room. Overall 10/10 experience

    Katie2020-03-03T00:00:00Z
  • The room is good value for money. Steps away from the beach. Access was easy and the place was clean. There is no common seating or dining area, so you are better off eating out.

    Subash2020-01-03T00:00:00Z
  • Great place! A one pager explaining the house (such as the roommate situation, where the hot tub is, where to find open restaurants in the off-season on a Monday) would make it even more welcoming and save time.

    Liz2019-12-31T00:00:00Z
  • Abbe’s place was wonderful! Just a short walk to the beach! It was the cutest room and having the hot tub was amazing. She was incredibly responsive and very accommodating when the weather cut our trip short! Would definitely recommend and stay there again!

    Elizabeth2019-11-17T00:00:00Z
  • I’d stay with her again she was an awesome host!

    Matthew2019-10-21T00:00:00Z
  • We had a great stay at Abbe's. Unfortunately, due to some issues with the highway and flooding we had to stay another night, but Abbe was very accommodating! Would definitely go back and hopefully get to see more next time!

    Whitney2019-10-11T00:00:00Z
  • Hot tube after hours of surfing was perfect! Thanks Abbe for the hospitality and quick response =)

    This is a lower level apartment below my main house. Feel free to make use of the outdoor shower and ask for bikes if you want to ride around town. This is not a luxury living suite but a nice clean space to comfortably spend the night with the necessary amenities. Located in Waves with beach access right at the end of the street only a couple minute's walk away. With no one living in the main part of the house from November- April, nor is it open to rent, enjoy a quite getaway.
    Be sure to say hello to Arthur the very talkative black and white cat who will most likely greet you. He enjoys scraps and often invites friends from around the neighborhood. Someone may stop by to feed them as he and his buddy's are loved by many people.
    A quiet street in the heart of town. A short walk or bike ride to most go too's. All within a 10 min walk or 3 minute bike ride you have, the beach (of course), post office, multiple surf shops for rental's, shopping, and some of the best quick burritos in town at Waves Market and Deli next to the post office just a couple blocks to the south.
  • Great spot close to the beach and local attractions.

    Chris2019-11-18T00:00:00Z
  • Evan's small, stylish studio apartment is perfect for one or two people. If you're looking for simple, clean, comfortable accommodations this is an excellent value. Evan was very helpful and easy to work with. Several restaurants and fun activities are a short drive or bike ride away. Try the deli sandwiches at Waves Market or check with Hatteras Island Surf and Sail for surfing, windsurfing, kiteboarding rentals and lessons.

    Scott2019-10-19T00:00:00Z

    Katherine2019-08-26T00:00:00Z
  • Evan's place was wonderful! Check-in was easy and Evan and Laura were very easy to communicate with. The space was super clean, and so cute! It was perfect for our 5-day getaway. Close to beaches and lots of activities, but also quiet and laid back. Evan made great local recommendations - he let us know what beaches would be best and where to grocery shop and grab food. (He was so right about Waves Market burritos - they're a must!) We definitely recommend Evan's place, and hope to stay again!

    Bethany2019-08-23T00:00:00Z
  • Evan's place had all the essentials and was within walking distance to the beach. It was also very clean.

  • Wonderful trip and experience. Marks Surf Museum is full of art work, warm and inviting. Mark is very responsive and clearly enjoys meeting and interacting if you want to. His place is laid back, a perfect relaxing Hatteras retreat!

    Katherine2019-10-06T00:00:00Z
  • Staying at Mark‘s Surf museum was a great experience! It has an incredibly nice atmosphere there which made us feel welcomed from the first second we got there. Mark will help you out with literally everything if you need help or advice. He also knows a lot of cool places around there! If we ever make it to the outer banks again we will definitely come back to that place!

    Maxi2019-09-16T00:00:00Z

  • Mark is an excellent host who will go above and beyond to make you feel welcome in Avon. He knows all the ins and outs of the island ranging from good food, live music, and the best beach/water sport locations. He will hangout and chat or will give you as much space as you want. He is a great host with a very unique home. Tons of his very own art work fills the home giving the space an amazing local and unique feel. Loved our stay in Avon and will definitely be coming back to the Surf Museum.

    Walk or bike to everything! This clean, bright apartment is the middle floor of a three story Triplex and has a wrap around covered deck on two sides of the house. Located on the sound side of north Avon, you are a five minute walk to the beach, the Froggy Dog restaurant, and Dairy Queen as well as a short bike ride to other restaurants. You are two minutes to the Pier and Food Lion by car, as well as a ten minute drive to the lighthouse and "The Point" in Buxton.
    Its very easy to relax and slip into island time lounging on the covered deck or on the couch underneath the ceiling fan in the living room. Lots of sunlight through the sliding glass door and windows against lots of natural wood interior walls gives the Tarpon House Apartments that rustic, classic Hatteras Island feel!
  • Nick and Robin's place is perfect! The pictures don't do it justice. Super comfy and convenient spot. The hosts are great and very responsive too. 10/10

It was sparkling clean and a great location that was so close to the beach and many great restaurants and shops. Nick and Robin were fantastic hosts and they have two very cute four legged greeters as well! We highly reccomend the Tarpon house!

    Look no further for a gorgeous sound front view, a kiteboarder's dream, or a quiet oasis get-a-way. This Sound front home rents it's lower level of 3 separate ensuite bedrooms and has proven to be a wonderful retreat for renters by its reviews.
    Our home is a place to relax or enjoy water sports as it is directly on the Pamlico Sound with access to the water. Self launch your kite using our 2 anchors with buoys in the water. Lessons are available from the owner. Take the canoe out for a great way to explore the coves or even fish if you please. We have two beach bikes for guests to ride to the beach, go to restauants or tour our village. Relax by the new saltwater pool or on the expansive deck with plenty of seating. Open our lockers and find a selection of beach chairs to take to the beach. Enjoy an outdoor shower when you return. You will enjoy magnificent sunsets every night.
    Waves is part of a 3 town village: Rodanthe, Waves and Salvo which spreads over several miles on the Outer Banks. There are lots of shops, places to rent water sports equipment, Restaraunts and Bars plentiful in this village.
  • Great views and comfortable environment. Extra touches, like throw blankets, allowed us to enjoy the cool outdoors. Our hosts were very accommodating.

  • The home is beautiful and looks just as pictured. Very clean and comfortable inside and outside. The pool was very relaxing too. Donna gave us information on things to do in the area and was always available if we needed anything. We will definitely recommend to others and try to return.

    Shelley2019-09-18T00:00:00Z
  • Great spot to enjoy a quiet stretch near the beach. Comfy bed, beautiful back deck, just don't forget your bug spray!

    Katherine2019-09-15T00:00:00Z
  • Such a beautiful place with great people. We had the benefit of sharing the space with some now new friends as well as having the space to ourselves two nights. Donna and Patrick couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. The views are spectacular and our room was just right. Can’t wait to come back!

    Megan2019-08-29T00:00:00Z
  • Great location and facilities

    Doug2019-08-10T00:00:00Z
  • The place was as gorgeous as it looks in the pictures. The place is right on the sound and I enjoyed my view every morning. The beach was a short walk from the house. She gave me great tips on where to go and eat. She gave us all the beach essentials (chairs, umbrellas and BOOGIE BOARDS!) we would need as well, which was amazing. Would go again in a heart beat.

    Lili2019-08-07T00:00:00Z
  • Everything was clean and welcoming! The pool was awesome! Great place for a quick getaway!

    Kristen2019-08-03T00:00:00Z
  • Thank you Donna for an amazing stay. Great location, comfy bed, and outstanding service. Communication was easy and we always got a rapid response. Would 100% come back!

    Our home is adjacent to the exclusive South Beach Community of Salvo on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. We are located on a private lane. There is one house in front of us, one beside us, and one katycorner. There is no one behind us. - We are ocean side with easy access to the beach and the sound. There are numerous ways to reach the beach from the house - via an established walking path, or over a wooden boardwalk, or even with your four-wheel drive vehicle (we are one tenth of a mile away from drivable access.) Any way you choose to walk, there is no highway to cross. Hatteras Island is one of the few places where you can build a fire on the beach (free permit required) - something everyone will always remember.
  • This home is even better than the description. Location to beach perfect. We had a couple normal issues during our stay and they where responded to and remedied immediately! Great family vacation!

    Bryan2019-07-28T00:00:00Z
  • Wonderful place to stay

    Julie2019-06-16T00:00:00Z
  • This house is extremely clean, updated, and in an excellent location. It was an easy drive to Buxton (for apple uglies) and to Manteo (for pirate adventures). The layout was perfect for a family of four, along with a few days with grandparents! It was stocked with everything to make our stay comfortable. Our second year here was a success!

    Juliet2018-08-19T00:00:00Z
  • excellent stay. Gail was available early and often with helpful information. a great host for a great house

    Pierre2018-08-05T00:00:00Z
  • The house was lovely and very well situated. The kitchen is well appointed : we made our own fish tacos and were able to have breakfast in every morning. The beach wagon, chairs and umbrella were so useful and the walk through the neighborhood and over the dunes put us "right" at the beach! My husband and I had the very comfy king with feather bed and open balcony door, while our 2 year old and 6 month old were just across the hall. That put us on the 3rd floor and gave my parents the 2nd floor master with en suite bathroom, so everyone was able to spread out. The only thing we had to do was "rent" towels, and the same company that cleans the unit had them there for us on arrival. The key pad door is just brilliant for both a private check in and not worrying about having enough keys to come and go separately. We used the screen porch and the spa each evening, and the heated outdoor shower kept us from tracking in the entire beach first! As another reviewer mentioned, we were supposed to have rain for most of our trip, but we still managed to take my parents to the Buxton light house, go birding at pea island, dine al fresco at 3 different restaurants and go to the beach every single day, so don't let the report for your time there get you down!

    Nicole2018-05-23T00:00:00Z
  • Gem of a guest house just steps from the sand and sound.

    James2018-04-22T00:00:00Z
  • Great location! The kids loved being able to walk to beach or sound. Very clean, relaxing accommodations. The house had everything we needed to make meals, but we loved exploring area restaurants, too. The area is perfect if you want to stay a bit away from the crowds. We loved it, and are already talking about when we might want to come back!

    Krisanne2018-04-07T00:00:00Z
  • We stayed here with our one year old and three year old children. The house was wonderful- great layout, updated, and very clean (the cleanest house we've rented in the OBX since we started coming a decade ago!). It was stocked with everything we needed to be comfortable. There was plenty of space, and we didn't even use the bottom floor. The views from the top deck were beautiful! The walk to the beach access point took a few minutes, and though the walk across the dunes wasn't short, there was a wooden walkway which was a lifesaver! All in all, took about 10 minutes with two small dawdling kids. All in all, it was very easy from check-in to check-out. This may be the first house we consider renting again. Highly recommended!

  • This was exactly what I needed. Perfect space for just me. The room was comfy and clean. Betsy is amazing, her Inn is adorable and literally steps from the beach. I hope every time I visit it's exactly like this visit.

    Lora2019-08-18T00:00:00Z
  • The tasteful decor and good lighting make a relatively small room feel airy and bright. I usually prefer a larger shower, but for the price and the exceptional cleanliness I'm happy enough with a small stall. Though the building looks timeworn on the outside, the room is modern and comfortable. I'd stay here again!

    This beach cottage is a block from the ocean, less than 5 minute walk. It features a fenced yard, great patio for grilling, outside shower, and fish cleaning table. It's the perfect house with all the amenities for a smaller family. It's directly across the street from The Froggy Dog, an Hatteras Island tradition for the past 26 years.
  • Excellent house close to the beach. Just a short walk from lots of Avon's best stops. Small yard with a fence, our dog was able to go out without a leash while we were there (which is a huge plus to us). Very clean and well-maintained home. Much bigger than we expected based on the limited pictures available. Comfortable seating on the deck and more than enough room in the living room for a whole family.

    Tom2019-08-21T00:00:00Z
  • It was a great community plenty to do , the house was great clean comfortable and very close to the beach and stores, the beach was not crowded and clean as well I will definitely go back

    Brianna2019-07-23T00:00:00Z

    Jennifer2019-09-29T00:00:00Z
  • Bathrooms could use a little more cleaning especially in master bathrooms and also the pool needed a little adjustment but other than that we had a great time at this beach house!!!!

    Ryan2019-09-14T00:00:00Z
  • The Aquaholic is so well laid out and spacious for a large family! We loved family movie night in the downstairs theater, playing games, fishing from the pier, and kayaking the sound. Beautiful views from every floor made for a relaxing week! The amenities were beyond our expectations with multiple refrigerators, dishwashers, a large gas oven, outside grills, and stand-alone ice makers! L.A. was a wonderful host and answered any questions we had in a timely manner!

    Amy2019-04-26T00:00:00Z
  • What a lovely holiday vacation for our family. It was fanTAStic. The room/bathroom configuration was perfect for our group. The amenities were clean, comfortable and functional (except the gas FP, which was not available). We were there for Thanksgiving, so the kitchen functionality was extremely important to us - and it was wonderful! Thank you for one of the best family vacations we've ever had!

    Look no further for a gorgeous sound front view, a kiteboarder's dream, or a quiet oasis get-a-way. This Sound front home rents it's lower level of 3 separate ensuite bedrooms and has proven to be a wonderful retreat for renters by its reviews.
    Our home is a place to relax or enjoy water sports as it is directly on the Pamlico Sound with access to the water. Self launch your kite using our 2 anchors with buoys in the water. Lessons are available from the owner. Take the canoe out for a great way to explore the coves or even fish if you please. We have two beach bikes for guests to ride to the beach, go to restauants or tour our village. Relax by the new saltwater pool or on the expansive deck with plenty of seating. Open our lockers and find a selection of beach chairs to take to the beach. Enjoy an outdoor shower when you return. You will enjoy magnificent sunsets every night.
    Waves is part of a 3 town village: Rodanthe, Waves and Salvo which spreads over several miles on the Outer Banks. There are lots of shops, places to rent water sports equipment, Restaraunts and Bars plentiful in this village.
  • Donna and Patrick’s home was absolutely wonderful and so were they. Donna was a gracious, helpful, informative and friendly hostess. She went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and helped me with many things. The house and room were extremely comfortable and clean as were the common areas and the entire grounds. The pool, deck, pier and yard are all beautiful and the location is stellar located right on the sound. It was my first time to Hatteras and I would definitely go back, for the watersports as I am a kiteboarder but also for the beach located just across the street which was fantastic. Many extras were provided like shampoo/conditioner, flashlights, sunscreen, bug spray, beach towel and bags, little things you might forget. In addition use of cruiser bikes and beach chairs. The mosquitos were just because there was a hurricane and had died down a day after I arrived! No big deal at all, the entire area had that issue. Highly recommend staying with these lovely hosts.

    Heather2019-09-17T00:00:00Z
  • Loved everything about our stay at the Blue Dolphin. Thank you Donna and Patrick, we’ll be back!

    Sophie2019-09-02T00:00:00Z

    David2019-08-27T00:00:00Z
  • Great location, beautiful home, and stunning views of the bay. A definite A+ in all areas —can’t recommend Donna enough!

    Kim2019-08-10T00:00:00Z
  • Donna’s home was above our expectations in every way. From the stylish, very clean, and comfortable room, to the amenities like the shared kitchen, pool, beach equipment, there is nothing that we wanted for. Donna was a wonderful host, she was there when we needed her with quick communication and helpful tips and suggestions at check in, and otherwise gave us space and privacy to enjoy our stay. The location is amazing, only a short walk over to the beach and many restaurants. We are looking forward to making a trip to the outer banks and staying at Donna’s home again next year. Five stars all around. Side note - the king size bed is extremely comfortable.

    Dorothy2019-07-19T00:00:00Z
  • Kite in, kite out property with spectacular sunsets and a breeze that wraps around the entire patio. Gorgeous!

    Monica2019-07-14T00:00:00Z
  • Donna's place was everything I expected from the listing and more. Her and her husband are friendly and great communicators, and their space is clean, quiet and close to everything. And I could just walk to the backyard and take their canoe out onto the sound, which would have cost maybe $50-$100/person to rent or go on a tour. Highly recommended host!

    Justin2019-07-06T00:00:00Z
  • Enjoy staying sound side in a clean place that is steps from the water. You can watch the sunset from the decks. In the Outer Banks it’s all about the water and this location takes advantage of that. Not only is there a private dock to the sound, but there is an above ground swimming pool with a beautiful view. The pool was one of my favorite amenities. So refreshing, and relaxing! The gentle breeze that comes up in the darkness makes it an amazing place to hang out. Donna and her husband are both kiters, and you can launch right from their place. Pretty amazing if this is your sport! Highly recommend this location especially if you are a single traveler.

It's a matter of personal preference, of course. But here are my thoughts: Sound vs. Ocean side... Sound side is more serene, relaxed and quiet and you don't feel like you are sharing your vacation with hundreds of other beach goers. Having said that if you want to mix and match you can always cross to the Ocean side - takes 5 min. I am not an early riser, so even though I love sunrises on the ocean side I am not usually up that early to enjoy them, especially when on vacation. This makes the sunset displays off our deck one of the biggest highlights of this location. If you have children in your party, depending on how old they are being on the Sound side can be a great advantage - no violent waves or rip currents to worry about. They can simply walk into the calm water and swim, play and enjoy. You also get the homey feel and a contained space where it is easier to watch the kids as it's just you and your family on the beach. Teenagers may want to do some kayaking, windsurfing, sailing or kiteboarding - all better suited for the sound side. I also like the fact that you can walk to the local fisherman village, watch the sailboats and the simple life that goes on there - just a different feel, more local, less touristy. It's a matter of preference. If you or your kids/family are into kitesurfing/windsurfing/kayaking/sailing - Sound side is the place to be! Prevailing winds are side-on-shore SW and the water is relatively shallow making it a safer environment for the wind/water sport enthusiasts to enjoy their hobbies. For surfers on the other hand, Oceanside location is certainly the place to be. All that said, some folks prefer Oceanside locations and there are certainly plenty of gorgeous spots to choose from! Those are usually quite a bit more expensive though. Avon is Rustic and full of energy. It is a kiteboarding and windsurfing mecca due to ideal wind and beach conditions. Avon is an old Hatteras Island village that has become synonymous with recreational surf fishing, and the Avon pier is a hot spot for those in pursuit of big gamefish like Red Drum. Just north of Buxton, this once tiny village of watermen and their families has grown to be a highly coveted vacationing experience with pristine, natural beaches and beautiful rental cottages. But Avon still retains its tight knit community feel. Even though you can find fantastic seafood restaurants, a supermarket, and some of the conveniences of home, a rustic atmosphere still permeates Avon. You may hear Avon referred to as Kinnakeet by some locals. It was the name local tribe of Algonkian Indians gave the area, and later adopted by settlers. But in 1883, the U.S. Postal Service redubbed the village Avon, like they did with most of the Hatteras Island communities. On the sound side of Avon, on the western side of Highway 12, you may see kiteboarders performing amazing aerial stunts and windsurfers racing across the surface of the Pamlico Sound. Nearby Kite point and Canadian Hole were named after the popularity of this public access spots with kiteboarders and with our visitors from the north. In the early spring, many watersports lovers flock here from Canada, Massachusets, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other points north, because it is still quite cold at home and these enthusiastic athletes can't wait to have a little fun on the water. Limited handicap access is possible on the first floor if you bring stair ramps. No handicap access to the rest of the house.

Sound side is more serene, relaxed and quiet and you don't feel like you are sharing your vacation with hundreds of other beach goers. Having said that if you want to mix and match you can always cross to the Ocean side - takes 5 min. I am not an early riser, so even though I love sunrises on the ocean side I am not usually up that early to enjoy them, especially when on vacation. This makes the sunset displays off our deck one of the biggest highlights of this location. If you have children in your party, depending on how old they are being on the Sound side can be a great advantage - no violent waves or rip currents to worry about. They can simply walk into the calm water and swim, play and enjoy. You also get the homey feel and a contained space where it is easier to watch the kids as it's just you and your family on the beach. Teenagers may want to do some kayaking, windsurfing, sailing or kiteboarding - all better suited for the sound side. I also like the fact that you can walk to the local fisherman village, watch the sailboats and the simple life that goes on there - just a different feel, more local, less touristy. It's a matter of preference. If you or your kids/family are into kitesurfing/windsurfing/kayaking/sailing - Sound side is the place to be! Prevailing winds are side-on-shore SW and the water is relatively shallow making it a safer environment for the wind/water sport enthusiasts to enjoy their hobbies. For surfers on the other hand, Oceanside location is certainly the place to be. All that said, some folks prefer Oceanside locations and there are certainly plenty of gorgeous spots to choose from! Those are usually quite a bit more expensive though.
  • This is a fantastic place, especially for a family/friends get together. Great for kids! The house is really big and spacious, the kitchen is nice and the living room is stacked with a great collection of books - we loved it!

  • Host was amazing, very helpful and responded quickly. Also very lovely home great for a getaway with friends or family!

  • This place is incredible. Right on the water, although the beach is rocks and not sand. Every evening we would sit on the deck and watch the sunset. The only complaint I had is that we did not book it for longer.

  • Natalie was a great host. She was prompt to answer all questions before and during our stay. Check-in and check-out was super easy. Location is convenient to beach, rental places and shopping. Spacious and nice amenities.

    Nora2019-06-15T00:00:00Z
  • Beautiful home! Very clean! Lots of space for everyone. Perfect location! Love the pool and hot tub! Beds were comfy. All furniture was in great condition. We had absolutely no complaints. And Natalie is the perfect host. Replying immediately to any questions. We will definitely be back and will recommend this house to everyone!

  • Our Family recently visited Natalie’s beautiful home and spent a week there for some much-needed rest and relaxation. Natalie was a super host, anything I checked with her about she was right on top of it and responded immediately, she is very knowledgeable of the area and provided us with amazing advice on all types of adventures, sights to see, she even provided us with the Tides information so we would know the best times to enjoy the ocean. It was just feet from the house and the sunrises and sunsets where magnificent. The house was fully equipped and clean. Everything we could have wanted to try was there at the house for our use. (No renting) if we wanted to fish, kite sail, paddle boards, surf, bbq, swing in the hammock, bike ride, play ping pong, relax in the pool or hot tub, or pick up sea shells, it was there. I could have stayed there and never left the house. Best vacation in a long time one I’d love to do again. Thank you Natalie, you were great and so was your home. You have new friends in Kentucky! Would love to repeat this vacation year after year.

  • We had an awesome time!! This was my family’s first trip to Avon but I won’t be our last! The house is very big and spacious. Beautiful sunsets !

    Walter2019-04-20T00:00:00Z
  • Our group had a relaxing spring break at this location! The house is on the oceanfront of the sound side so the views of the sunset are spectacular. There's four bedrooms on the second floor and one in suite on the first floor, plenty of room for the guests. It's located 5 minutes from a Food Lion supermarket and many restaurants. It was only warm enough for 2 beach days during the week but there were enough amenities, including the hot tub, that kept us occupied. The house came with everything we needed like kayaks, paddleboards, ping pong, board games, and smart TVs. We would definitely recommend this place!

    Oceanside child friendly family cottage. Open floor plan with screened porch. Home is located in a quiet community with direct ocean access.
    Quiet, family oriented community with direct ocean access. If the sound side is more your speed, it is a short walk via the bike path on NC 12. Salvo Day park is a short drive or a 10-15 minute walk.

    This is a quiet queen bedroom with a private deck facing west/south west. A sliding glass door gives you amazing sunset views in the evening. This room has a mini-fridge, desk, and private bathroom. There is a microwave and coffee machine in the common area.
    Kiteborn is ideal for kiters and windsurfers. Launch from our private dock/beach. We're in a private community with ocean beach access a two minute walk away as well. Kiteborn has amazing views of the sunset over Pamlico Sound. This is a great place for couples and solo adventurers, kiters, windsurfers, surfers, and other beach enthusiasts. Under the house there is a kitchen with a full counter top, sink, 4 burner stove top, and gas bbq. Sorry, but we cannot accommodate pets or children under the age of 12. There is a Pet hotel/spa around the corner that will board pets while you stay here if that is an option you're interested in.
    The neighborhood/community is called Mirlo Beach. It is the first community as you travel south from the Pea Island Wildlife Refuge (and Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills, and Kitty Hawk). The community has a tennis court, a beach area on the sound (if you don't want to launch kites from the smaller area in front of Kiteborn), and private beach access across Hwy 12 for the ocean.
  • Wonderful, well thought out place! Beautiful modern furnishings, very clean and inviting. The hot tub was a nice “extra”! The sunset was one of the most amazing I have ever seen, right from their private dock and from my private deck! The walk to the ocean was short-and saw a most amazing sunrise there! I used the outside, under the house, cooking space and everything was there that I needed to cook with. It was a little chilly in March, but it was nice to cook. Beautiful room. Jared does mention the noise from the construction of the bridge that is going on in the sound. It did bother me at times, but only because I sooo needed rest.... Overall, it was a wonderful place!

    Michelle2020-03-11T00:00:00Z
  • The host does not bother you. The solitude is golden. The location is perfect. Go and see for yourself!

    Fayetteville2020-01-03T00:00:00Z
  • Awesome location! Kite, or Windsurf right from the house. Clean stylish well thought out space with beautiful updated private baths in every room. Already planning my trip back!

    Eddie2019-10-31T00:00:00Z
  • Jared’s place is as described, perfect for kite surfing or windsurfing.

    Merritt2019-10-27T00:00:00Z
  • We loved our stay at Kiteborn!! It’s a beautiful location right on the sound and a 3 minute walk to the beach. We walked a few more minutes down the beach every day and had the beach all to ourselves, it was amazing! We really appreciated all the amenities and things he had available to use and take to the beach. The room was nice and clean and had a great view. Rodanthe is a perfect place to stay if you want a quiet beach location, and it’s about 30 mins from more touristy stuff. The only negative thing about our trip was all the mosquitos! None on the beach, but a lot near the sound and by the house. There’s nothing Jared could have done about this, I’d just recommend bringing bug spray! Other than that, a perfect place to stay for a relaxing beach vacation!

  • We had a great stay with Jared over Labor Day weekend. He has put a lot of effort into making his house a relaxing place to stay in the Outer Banks. We enjoyed having access to the hot tub, the surfboards, extra beach towels, and the kayaks. The beach is a 5 minute walk from the house, and the location is a perfect place to get away from everything. Right at the end of Pea Island Wildlife Refuge, our stay came complete with an uncrowded beach, excellent stargazing, and beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the beach and sound, respectively. Being in the middle of the Outer Banks, it was a great place to crash with relatively easy access to Hatteras, Nags Head, and the Ocracoke ferry. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation.

    Matthew2019-09-02T00:00:00Z
  • Very nice and clean place, with amazing view. The sunset is beautiful and Jared was very nice and replied very quickly to our requests.

    Camilla2019-08-18T00:00:00Z
  • If you like going to the beach for the beach, as opposed to mini-golf and snow cones, this is a great place to be! The space is comfortable, with lots of fun perks (boogie boards, kayaks, etc.), and Jared is a terrific host.
