Great quiet space and ideal location right next to Jockey’s Ridge that’s walkable to the Sound, would definitely stay here again!

Great place for the week couldn’t have found a better place loved it more then the hotels definitely

The Bungalow on the Lagoon - with boat ramp
Great place within walking distance to a couple restaurants and a grocery store. Also a short walk to the local airstrip!

Rocking Hat Retreat WEST •Private garden on canal•
I highly recommend this place. Quiet and peaceful yet close to everything. I’m looking forward to returning. The host was wonderful and has great recommendations.

Private apartment only 3 blocks from the Beach
We loved this space! We stayed the night for a concert in the area and were able to walk to and from the venue which was awesome! We got to the space and everything was very nice and felt like home! Would definitely recommend and stay here again!

Boardwalk Sound Front Apartment Duck
We had an amazing time in Duck! Erin’s place is right on the water and the apartment is much more spacious than I thought. Great location on the Sound with lots of shopping, coffee shops and restaurants. Driving distance to other great Outer Banks towns! We had such a wonderful time! Erin was super attentive to questions and her place was remarkable. Great find! Thank you!

Pool | Stunning Ocean View | Balcony | MP 9
We absolutely loved our stay at this condo! It was very clean and the space was perfect for our family! The kitchen was updated and had all of the essentials. The balcony had a perfect view of the ocean! It was beautiful and I enjoyed drinking my coffee as well as watching the sunrise each morning! The condo was in a great location and central to everywhere we wanted to go at OBX! Katie was very responsive and helpful. We absolutely loved it and we may stay here again in the future!! 😊

No Ordinary Sunrise - Dog Friendly & Waterfront
The home was clean and instructions were very easy to follow. Since we were looking for a peaceful location on this trip, it fit the bill. The view was worth the cost. We knew there would be others around, as it was described accurately and clearly as a condo community. Supplies were very sufficient for us, and the owners were responsive. Enjoyed this trip!

Soundside Rendezvous
Had a great time fishing here!! The place had a well stoked kitchen and a nice grill! There's also another fishing area nearby by car that was great too!

Close 2 Coast (OBX)! 3BR/2BA *PET FRIENDLY*
If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful and homie place to stay, I definitely recommend this house. Robyn was very attentive, clear with communication and helpful with everything. The house is also full amenities from the kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms to even the grill outside. This place was a 5 out of 5 for me and our friends who visited!

SERENE SOUND RETREAT OBX /Sandy Beach/Dog Friendly
This was our second year at Serene Retreat. It’s just such a wonderful place for young children to enjoy the beach. The fenced in yard is great for their outdoor play. We enjoy cooking in the fabulous kitchen and feasting at the table with a view. Better than any restaurant around! Thank you again.

Serendipity on the Sound
We loved our stay at Serendipity! It was the perfect place for a weekend getaway. We had tickets to see The Lost Colony in Manteo, and this place was much more reasonable than staying in Manteo. The location can’t be beat. It’s right on the water, quiet and peaceful. It was also a short drive to downtown Edenton. Georgianne made us feel right at home. We would definitely stay here again!

Sound Decision (Waterfront/Tennis/Location)
5 star vacation! My family and I enjoyed our time here immensely! The location is walking distance to the beach,grocery and fun activities. The accommodations are comfortable, pristine, and surrounded by the gorgeousness that is the Sound. We spent mornings and evenings creating our itinerary for the days ahead. We slept soundly on the wonderful beds and enjoyed the magnificent sunsets on the deck with margaritas. I cannot say enough about the hospitality of this lovely family and the glorious peace that comes from just sitting on the outdoor patio admiring all there is to see, hear and take in. Every evening we witnessed all the woodland creatures (deer, bunnies, and even symphony of frogs!) come out to bring us back to simple living . The restaurants recommended by Brad and Robyn are superb! If you decide to come to the Outer Banks and feel like you want to recharge and relax and get away from it all. This is your vacation home away from home, but so much better!

Rainbow's End Retreat (IBX, NC)
A Perfect Slice of Paradise – Truly the Rainbow’s End! We just returned from the most magical stay at Rainbow’s End. Nestled in the heart of the Inner Banks, this home offers the perfect blend of peace, comfort, and natural beauty. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at ease. The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we needed—from a fully equipped kitchen to cozy linens and thoughtful touches throughout. The views were absolutely breathtaking—sunrises over the water, gentle breezes, and the kind of quiet that soothes the soul. Our days were filled with playing in the lush backyard, reading on the deck, and exploring charming nearby towns. Evenings were for bonfire, stargazing, and watching the colors of the sunset fade into twilight. Rainbows End truly lives up to its name Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. It was everything we hoped for and more

Little Haven
This place is absolutely beautiful. We plan on coming back very soon and there is no question on where will stay it will always be this place!!

The Pelican
If you are looking for a place to relax and regroup, this is it! The cottage is meticulously decorated and the view is amazing! My daughter and I enjoyed the view and bing watched Netflix. Heather was amazing and responded within seconds.

Tropical 2BR Condo Getaway 1 Block from the Beach!
Great place, just as advertised. thanks for everything, Samantha!

Turtle Tides - Oceanfront Penthouse Retreat
Beautiful condo that is right on the water. The view from the balcony is worth staying at this condo. There is easy beach access and the condo is clean. It is the perfect size and location for a beach getaway. Gene is extremely friendly and responsive as well.

Ocean & Bay Views - Local Family Owned & Operated
We had a lovely stay at Crystal’s while in town for a graduation. Crystal was proactive with directions, recommendations, and instructions, and she responded quickly to questions. The place was nicely decorated, and well-stocked with kitchen gadgets, beach chairs, games, and other necessities. This is a nice place for a getaway.

Oceanfront Gem VaB Studio Exceptional Views
This was our second time staying at one of Rebecca and Sean’s VA Beach condos — and the experience did not disappoint! This is just a perfect location, at the very end of the Boardwalk, with a private grassy lawn and outdoor seating just for the condo residents. Lots of restaurants in the surrounding blocks. Our favorite thing is the view — you look right out onto the ocean from the patio, and you can see the beach and the sunrise from the comfortable bed each morning. We spent unhurried hours sitting on the patio in the evenings enjoying the sound of lapping waves and the night sky. This cozy studio was just right for the two of us. Highly recommend. I’ve no doubt we’ll stay there again in the future!

Oceanfront, beach, boardwalk, fun, dolphin, sunris
We enjoyed staying at Kelly's place in VB. Its an ideal location for anyone who wants to stay right at the boardwalk. We witnessed amazing sunrises and moonrises. The ocean was right in front of us and from the 6th floor, the view was expansive. A lot of restaurants were also nearby. Kelly was always very communicative, polite and professional. The apartment was clean with the kitchen well stocked with utensils The bedrooms were of a pretty large size. And parking was on the premises. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and holiday for us. We strongly recommend Kelly's place.

Oceanfront 2BR Renovated Condo Linens Included
Great location within steps to the beautiful Outer Banks beaches. Steve's place is comfortable, stylishly decorated, and so close to the ocean that you can fall asleep to the waves crashing upon the beach at night!

Sunburst Ocean View Condo @ Nags Head Beach
I really appreciated the communication I had with Dave as we definitely walked to the local grill next-door and had an amazing dinner! I thought it was a great location, could see the ocean and sunrises and public access to the beach was just a short walk! It was great. Thanks Dave!

Atlantic Sunrise | Pool | Stellar Ocean View | MP9
Had a wonderful stay! Perfect for a small family. Katie was very easy to communicate with she answered all my questions in a timely manner. Will definitely be back.
