Cottage rentals with a hot tub

The Sea Perch~ Stylish Beachbox with Hot Tub!
We loved this place! Great vibe, clean, came with two bikes that we enjoyed riding to the sound and back (as well as Front Porch Coffee). The hot tub was amazing and relaxing. Notable that the bathroom downstairs has its own entrance that is not connected to the bedroom down there. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. Would stay at this house again and highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a cute little oasis that is very centrally located.

Easy Breezy beach house on secluded waterfront
Very secluded and peaceful. Wish the weather had been better throughout our stay but it was very nice to wake up to the sound of the waves and nature. I will say if you have a toddler to make sure to take a safety gate. He made it a challenge wanting to climb the stairs so we went out to buy some for our stay. WiFi is spotty (which is a good thing) but I didn’t realize none of my messages were sent until this morning. My husband and son enjoyed some fishing and caught a few stingrays. I would love to go back later in the year.

Coastal Luxury • Private Pool • Hot Tub • Arcade
somewhere on the beach was the perfect beach house with out that overly "beach house" decor. it was tasteful and cleanly decorated. the outdoor areas were great. the pool is just the right size, the additional seating and outdoor lounge areas were great. The bedrooms had nice mattresses.

OBX Beach House *Heated Pool&Hot Tub* in Duck
We love staying at Donald’s Duck! This was our second stay and we think this place is just so cute and cozy. Our favorite place is the beautifully lit pool area. It’s a short walk to the beach. The indoor space is beautiful and clean. Mark is a very responsive and helpful host! We love the proximity to the shops and restaurants.

Seahorse Shanty
The Seahorse Shanty was the perfect place for my family of five to stay for our first visit to the Outer Banks. The house was squeaky clean and so bright and welcoming. The location was great, making it easy to explore Corolla, Duck, and Kitty Hawk, and Kendra has done an excellent job outfitting this home with all the essentials to make it a perfect home away from home.

Kitty Hawk Cottage w/ HotTub, Fire pit, Ocean View
We had a wonderful stay in Kitty Hawk. Mark and Billy’s place was accurately described, in a fantastic location close to the beach. The place had everything we needed to cook full meals and have a blast. We would definitely recommend their place to anyone in the OBX area!

*Hot-Tub* Pet Friendly Community Pool, Cottage KDH
We had such an amazing time here! She was quick to respond and the place was beautiful! The backyard was perfect for our toddler to play in and I really appreciated that there was a baby gate for upstairs. We will definitely be coming back!

Hot Tub + Dog Friendly Central KDH The MOON Tower
Really enjoyed our stay! Beautiful and comfortable home. Great location, near several restaurants, pier, and shopping. Appreciated that it was dog friendly!

Classic Flat Top, Beach 3 min walk, Pets Stay Free
So glad this listing was available definitely exceeded my expectations. It’s hard to find a home so accommodating to the fur babies. I was floored walking into a clean home fully stocked with all the amenities plus. It was like staying in a hotel with the feeling of being at home. Hands down the best beach stay ever totally recommend and hopefully I get that chance to visit again.

Juhl of the Sea
We really enjoyed staying at Chad’s place. It was very clean and comfortable and we felt like we were in a tree house with all the beautiful trees outside the windows. We loved the porches and the close proximity to restaurants and the beach. Chad was very friendly and responsive. We definitely will be staying again.

Unique, Steps to Beach, EV Charger & Pet Friendly
We had an amazing time! The house was incredible and so close to the beach. It was also extremely clean! We will definitely be back - loved how close the house was to everything, especially the coffee shop!

More BeachTime KDH Beach Side 1 blk5minwlktobeach
Perfect location, had everything we needed for a long weekend. Screened in porch and outdoor shower were great!

Historic Beach Cottage 700ft to ocean #singlestory
This is a beautiful place and it's incredibly thoughtfully done! The screened porch is a DREAM. The house is full of thoughtful details, including plenty of beach towels, beach supplies, and pet-friendly items. We had no problem cooking at home with the fully stocked kitchen. It takes less than 5 minutes to walk to the beach, with the public access path almost across the street. I'd absolutely return!

Ocean View, Family Cottage Located on Beach Road
Sarah was a great and responsive host and the location was absolutely beautiful, a nice private beach across the street, this stay at Sarahs helped make our trip as phenomenal as it was.

Hammock Cottage w/ BBQ, Foosball & Ping Pong Table
We had a great stay. The house was great and in a great location. It was an easy walk to the beach and a great location. There was a pier close and lots of things to do. I would definitely recommend it to others and hope to go back there again.

OBX Island Cottage-No Stairs-Sound View-Beach 3mi
We had an amazing experience staying at Tanya's place. The house was clean and sufficient for us and our kid. You could see sunrise from mater bedroom window!! Tanya has taken extreme efforts to ensure guests have everything they need, it made us feel so relaxed. She had thought of everything someone can forget while vacationing and even more. The place was comfortable, quiet and pristine, there is a coffee place, pizza, and grocery store at walkable distance. She provided us great recommendations as well. I would definitely choose to stay here again!!

Escape to Avalon | Exquisite Outer Banks Casita
I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The space was incredibly clean, cozy, and welcoming exactly what I was hoping for. From the moment I walked in, I felt right at home. The thoughtful touches throughout made it clear the hosts really care about creating a great guest experience. It was also perfect for the price—a great value for such a comfortable and well-kept place. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and affordable stay!

Outer Banks Cottage, Steps to Ocean, No Pets
Perfect cottage for two or four persons. Cottage has all the amenities you need! Great location to the beach as less than 5 min walk. Plenty of room on the deck. Nice areas for shade with couch seating. Plenty of room to grill and eat on the shaded picnic tables. No wonder we keep coming back each June. Plus, Mom’s Sweet Shop is right next door to tempt your sweet tooth and/or shopping for clothes, candles, etc.

Little Pink Cottage OBX
This was our 2nd time at the pink cottage. We stayed here during tropical storm Debby, but still had a great vacation. Lauren was really helpful and responsive when it came to rainy day activities and emergency preparedness, should we have needed it. Since it was so close, we were able to pop down to the beach during sunny periods and easily come back if the weather shifted. We also enjoyed many activities in the area, including the aquarium and Elizabethan botanical gardens. My husband loved fishing nearby. We will definitely be back!

Crews Cottage on Roanoke Island (Outer Banks, NC)
Lynette and Tom were wonderful hosts and Crews Cottage is beautiful! Bright and immaculate, roomy and welcoming . . . it was the perfect spot to land in between activities for a wedding in Manteo. Will definitely be back in the future with more time to explore . . . Thank you ever so much!

Sanderling Escape in Duck
What a charming, impeccably clean and ultra comfortable home in our favorite Duck community, The Sanderling! We couldn't have been happier :-) The home was just perfect for our small group..the furniture was modern, clean and decorated with class. And, the kitchen was quite well stocked for our family who very much appreciates engaging in home cooked meals. The laundry machines were brand new and convenient being on the ground floor. We loved having everything on one level and of course...never missed an early morning sunrise and sunset across the street at the Sanderling dock! A magical time indeed - thank you Mark, for everything!

Blue Heaven Bungalow...Ground Level Beach Retreat
The property was lovely, with accurate pictures. We appreciated the comfy furnishings and beds, and the quiet location was perfect. The short walk to the ocean and restaurants was a bonus. Great hosts too - thanks for the late checkout! We'll return soon.

Beachburg - Walk to the beach!
Her place was perfect for our family of four. The walk to beach was super easy and loved she had all the beach toys for the kids and the cart was super nice to have. Her place was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. Definitely will keep her place in my favorites for when we come down again. She was a great host and she was very easy to communicate with. Thanks again for a great stay!

OBX*Beach*Sunsets*Bike Path*Surf*Good Vibes*Waves
This was the perfect fit for my small family for a short getaway! We stayed in the top of the home. Everything was very clean, and the hosts responsiveness was outstanding! We would certainly stay here again!
