Tiny Beach Getaway • Heart of Kill Devil Hills OBX
Joe’s place is a perfect little retreat at the beach for two. Compact, but has everything you need. The apartment is super clean and the little kitchen well stocked. Joe and his team were very responsive to our needs, and sent clear instructions from beginning to end. We had a wonderful time and will definitely stay again.

Boardwalk Sound Front Apartment Duck
We (and our dogs) had a lovely stay at Erin’s! The views were incredible, the location was so convenient for things to do close by, and the place was stunning. We will definitely be back!!

Pool | Stunning Ocean View | Balcony | MP 9
Our family had a wonderful time and wish we could have stayed longer. Loved that we had an ocean view and a short walk to the beach.

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
We enjoyed our stay. The location is very convenient. Peaceful, few minutes drive from beautiful beaches. Very clean apartment with comfortable mattress. Equipped with anything you need. My husband and me had "aperitivo" every evening on the balcony watching the water and the sunset.

Canalfront, "Mariner's Retreat"
Tidy and small. Great spot to relax but a bit far from any activities. Make sure you have a car to drive. Overall a very great place.

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.

Sound Front Private Guest Apartment!
Second time here and probably not our last! Very peaceful, great quiet dock to fish or just relax. Saw tons of birds and even deer. Convenient location on the island.

Canal Front Cottage - Family & Pet Friendly!
I spent a weekend at this rental with my husband and 2 kids (5, 3yrs old). It was absolutely better than expected. The home was clean and well stocked. I’ve stayed at many other rentals in OBX through various platforms and this has been my favorite one yet. The house was super clean and nicely updated. The furniture was comfortable and practical. The dining chairs were easily wiped clean which was nice especially traveling with little kids. I wasn’t expecting to use the Colington Harbour amenities, but that ended up being a big hit with the family. It was really nice hitting up the pool in the evening after spending the entire morning at the beach. The kids loved watching the boats come in. The host Dana also was very responsive. If it’s available for our next OBX trip then we will for sure be back!

Ocean Front Beach House Kearney Castle
we had a great stay at this house! the location was perfect and so close to stores and a grocery which was super convenient. The beds were super comfortable and all in all it was a great spot for the family. would definitely stay here again.

Scarlett Sunset
Great place to stay with lots to do! Beautiful view and amazing hosts who were helpful, quick to respond with any questions and proactive in their instructions! Would highly recommend staying here!

Sound Decision (Waterfront/Tennis/Location)
Great spot for a family getaway. Wonderful and responsive hosts who take pride in making sure people that stay here enjoy their stay. Great spot and will definitely come back. My family loved it!

The Salty Shoebox OBX Oceanfront.
Travis’s Place was wonderful! I can’t wait to come back the view from the bedroom kitchen/livingroom is absolutely beautiful! We saw dolphins jumping from the porch within 20 mins of being there! It was super clean! Plenty of space for may Family of 7!

Waterfront,Pool,Game Room,Beach,DeepWaterAccess
We had a really great stay here! The house was beautiful and the kitchen and living room areas were perfect for hosting a larger group. We also loved the outdoor area pool and grill, and made so many great memories. The hosts were really friendly and helpful, and they made our first trip to the OBX even better than we imagined. Looking forward to the next time we are in the area!

Sale July 2-3, Lux Home, Pool, HotTub, Deck, Beach
We had a lovely stay for a last-minute Memorial Day weekend at the OBX in this rental. The hosts were communicative, helpful, friendly and provided so many nice extra touches for their guests. The home was wonderfully decorated, steps from the pool and the beach, and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Would recommend staying at this rental to anyone looking for a lovely home with ample indoor and outdoor space that is close to so many of the OBX's best restaurants and activities!

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!!!

Waterfront Gorgeous Beach Home-Sunsets & Spa Bath
Where to even start?! Meredith was awesome to rent from. The pictures were super accurate to the appearance of the rental. The condo was super clean and she thought of everything. We brought our three kids to the OBX and they never once said they were bored with everything she included in her place. The Sound is literally out your back door and has unmatched sunsets. The beach is less that 3 min drive away and she includes a parking pass that allows you to park super close to the access points. The town of Duck is right up the road and is a very walkable town that offers fun local shops and great dining options. Overall it was a great trip and we would highly recommend this condo to anyone.

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
This condo unit was perfect! Right on the beach with lots of beach supplies (chairs boogie boards umbrellas-is what we used) We sat on the balcony and watched dolphins every night. The walk to the beach is just down the stairs and you are there. We could steal out a good spot early on, go back up eat breakfast and go out at our leisure. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook our own meals. Steve was so helpful and went above and beyond in helping me navigate through not so favorable travel weather conditions and put me at ease with local weather updates! 10/10 would go back!!

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
This is our 3rd time staying here! Has a beautiful view, great access to the beach and a nice pool, which is so great to break up the day. We traveled with two adults and two children perfect amount of space. Little dated inside but has everything you need. We come for the location, because it’s so good! As other reviews have said there is a rental above you. We had one night of very late night noise but other than that it was a wonderful stay, we will be coming back!
