Knot One - Balcony View of ICW! - Dog Friendly!
We loved watching the boats in the canal. The room was clean, and quiet. Gia was quick to respond to questions. We would stay again if we are in the area.

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!

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!! 😊

The Coastal Studio
We stayed here at Zoe’s place after our wedding. It was the most perfect little place to stay just my husband and I. We loved having a quiet little space to return to after hanging out with family and friends all week. Having the nice little touches like coffee from a local shop, laundry detergent, and bathroom items already there made it even extra special. Zoe definitely knows how to make a guest experience wonderful! If we ever need a little space for just us two we will return again!!

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!

Ritzin' It - Beach side,Hot tub,Easy beach access
Our stay at Eric's exceeded expectations. Truly a beautiful house, spotlessly clean, well appointed. Eric was a great communicator from the time I made my reservation to the time I left the house, quickly answering all questions, giving recommendations and dealing with a small problem we had promptly. I would say that this house is one of the rare places on Airb&b that looks *better* than the pictures. Thank you so much!

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.

Oceanfront, Game Room, Hot Tub, Private Pool, Deck
Overall, this was a great vacation spot. Hosts were great! House was great! We had a small inconvenience with three people coming the first day to service different parts of the house, but once addressed the host’s accommodated our requests well. Location is nice!

Scarlett Sunset
Matthew was an excellent host. Very responsive. Property is great. Good location. Sound is very close. No complaints at all.

The Salty Shoebox OBX Oceanfront.
We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at The Salty Shoebox, they had upgraded the sofas, put in new flooring, and a new granite countertop in the kitchen. Travis was very good, as we had a couple requests while we were there, the requests were taken care of promptly. The location was great, right on the beach.

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.

*The Ripple Effect-Brand New & 360 Degree Views!
Where do I begin, EVERYTHING was as stated in the overview of the home. Gia is an exceptional host as she is very responsive and engaged with her guest. She was actively communicating from the time we booked and even after we departed. She would even take the time to share in real time events that were taking place in the surrounding area. Far as the home and the location, it is immaculate with magnificent views that you are able to capture from many angles. You are also located near many restaurants, beaches, and family activities. Stay here, you won't be disappointed......

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!!!

C4 Coastal Condo - Pool, Soundfront & 1 Mile Beach
This place is great! Close to everything, the pool is right across from the apartment, the beach is so close, and so many wonderful food options within minutes. The apartment was perfect and had everything we needed!

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.

Oceanfront | Pool | Stunning Views | Central
Incredible location and views (of sunrises and sunsets); great for kids! There was a problem with the storm door that Katie herself came by to fix when maintenance was unavailable on a holiday weekend :) The place was clean, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the pool was great (opening weekend and very clean). The only thing to note is that this might not be a great place for you if you're sensitive to noise - there was a wedding at one of the huge houses one night under a tent and we could hear every song they played, as well as footsteps from the people staying above us. This isn't a make or break for us, and we would stay at Katie's place again in a heartbeat.

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!

Atlantic Ocean Front Bliss!
Great place! Good location. Had all amenities. Clean. Close to beach.

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.
