The Dock
first time in Duck we will definitely return!!!!

Tiny Beach Getaway • Heart of Kill Devil Hills OBX
This is a fantastic unit for a couple (or best friends!) retreat. The location is perfect - directly across the street from beach entrance, walking distance to great coffee shops, local ice cream, surf shops, brewery, food, convenience stores, and more! I liked the house was at the end of a cul-de-sac so no traffic on the street. The host is very friendly and responsive with great directions. Check in/out was hassle free. I will definitely be coming back for a long weekend getaway!

Outer Banks Luxurious & Secluded Beach Getaway #1
A great alternative to the typical beach place. Private and serene, 1/2 mile from beach

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!! 😊

Stylish Waterfront/Marina Condo
We loved our stay at James’ condo. The location is away from the hustle and bustle but still close enough to get to everything within minutes. The condo itself is directly across from the pool, which was perfect for us. Our kids loved walking around the marina and watching all the boats. The condo is updated, very clean, and had everything we needed. James was very responsive with any questions we had. We can’t wait to go back!

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!

Canalfront, "Mariner's Retreat"
Great location for exploring all the OBX has to offer!

Sound Front 2bdr Condo w/ boat slip!~Pirates Cove~
Such a great location and apt. Super cute and lots of kitchen equipment for making something at home or reheating leftovers. Close to downtown Manteo which was super fun. Love the beach island vibes of it all. The property is awesome. Very dog and kid friendly.

Salty Dog: Hot tub, kayaks, fire pit, bikes, grill
Perfect spot for the two of us and our dog. A reasonable drive to beach access. Fully stocked house for both man and beast. I would stay here again.

Canal Front Cottage - Family & Pet Friendly!
Dana and her co Host was amazing we had the best few days of vacation possible in the outer banks 100% recommend Dana’s place we will for sure be back next year and anytime we go to obx !

Ocean Front Beach House Kearney Castle
We had a great three night stay, my three adult children and I. The beach was surprisingly almost ours to ourselves. For an older traditional OBX house, it was well updated and very well appointed. The central floor plan is very open. I love it when you can be in the kitchen cooking while talking to everybody in the living area and those around the dinner table at the same time. Awesome view of the ocean off the back deck. We sat in the hot tub and still see the ocean. Im sometimes leary of hot tubs at the beach, a lot of times they are not well maintained. Danielle's was spotless and the water chemistry was perfect and safe. There was absolutely nothing we needed or any place where we needed to go that was not within a 5-minute drive. All of my family are fisherman. if you like to fish, there's not a better place to stay. getting from the house to the beach to surf fish takes less than a minute. we walked up to the OBX Pier several times to fish, probably less than a 5 minute walk.

Scarlett Sunset
We enjoyed our stay in Duck, thanks to Matthew and Kim for being such great hosts. They made it easy, we especially liked the check out requirements. None!! Thanks again, Keith and JoAnn

Bruce’s Retreat Waterfront Home Entire 3 Bd 2 Ba
The Bruce’s Retreat was the perfect location and the absolute best sunsets in the OBX! There were kayaks available, a cooler and beach chairs that made us feel right at home. The home was comfortable and close to all the restaurants and shopping. You can fish right off of their dock, but if you want to get into the bigger fish, it’s just a short drive away. It worked out perfect for me, as the fish I caught at the home dock, I used to catch my biggest Red Drum (34”) on the surf! Karin was a great host, and was a quick responder when we reached out. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again when we visit.

OBX 5BR Flexible Stays Fishing Golf CommunityPool
The house was in a great area, really close to the beach and really spacious. Our hosts were really kind and responsive to anything we needed. I would definitely come back and stay.

Waterfront,Pool,Game Room,Beach,DeepWaterAccess
Enjoyed our stay at Outer Banks very much. Easy 10 min drive to beach and still had the privacy of being off the strip and our own pool. The house was well kept and they were very responsive when did have 1 request. Overall, would highly recommend.

DuckUtopia-Pool/HotTub/Private Dock/0.3mi to Beach
Gia’s DuckUtopia was everything we hoped it would be! There was something for everyone in my family. Although Gia provided lots of ideas and tips for the area, we loved just hanging out. The views of the sound were amazing. The pool and hot tub were perfect. My husband and son enjoyed the kayaks. My husband and daughter also enjoyed fishing for crab. Cleaning up with the outdoor shower after the beach was so easy. We loved all the amenities, especially the kitchen gadgets! All we needed to bring was food and towels for the beach. The place was clean and the neighborhood was quiet. We hope to return next year…to finish the ping pong match that got rained out! What a relaxing time! Thanks, Gia!

Oceanfront Luxury Penthouse w/Stunning Views!
The condo was very charming with new appointments and has a beautiful view of the ocean. We enjoyed sunrise each morning and the sound of the waves crashing each night. The kitchen was well equipped and had sufficient space for the two of us. It was also nice to have both a full and half bath as well as a door between the sink area and toilet/shower in the full bath. Having several options for coffee with espresso, drip, and a Keurig was a big plus A few observations we want to share. It would be very tight to fit 6 people in the place but you could comfortably have two couples or a couple with two kids with the second pair on the sleeper sofa. Overall it was a great stay for our anniversary weekend!!!

Oceanfront Condo, Heated Pool & Hot Tub, Beachside
This was a second time staying at Salty Shenanigans and we had another fantastic stay! Beautiful upgrades were made this year to the unit. Condo is super clean and includes all of the amenities. Cost is worth having the ability to walk to the pool, beach and back again without getting in the car. Our 3 year old loves the splash pad and zero entry pool.

Turtle Tides - Oceanfront Penthouse Retreat
I booked this location for our 2 year anniversary and it was an incredible stay. The view was perfect and the house was everything we needed for a few days stay. Gene was incredibly kind and even allowed us to check in early which worked out perfectly for us. The listing was just as described and honestly much more head space in the main room than we originally thought. The internet was great which was incredibly useful for our remote work. Couldn't recommend a better stay in the OBX for the price and location.

Oceanfront OBX Condo - Suite Caroline
Rebecca is a great host. We felt right at home and the place is lovely. The entire condo was shining clean. It was a nice touch to have shampoos etc and towels ready. The walk in shower was a delight. The kitchen was well stocked and made it easy to cook. Yes overall the kitchen served our needs. We found the beds to be the best ever and we stay on ObX annually for 40 years!! Definitely great sleep. Thanks for a great week.

Oceanfront 2BR Renovated Condo Linens Included
What a fantastic location! We loved being right on the beach. Inside the condo was really quiet and it had everything we needed. My kids loved it too and we got to see dolphins from the balcony!

Unsound Decisions | Water Views, Central Location!
The only thing that wasn’t great, was the limited amount of toilet paper. We needed more than one roll for each bathroom.

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.
