Cottage holiday rentals in Southern Shores

Terra’s place was beautiful. We saw the horses everyday. Her house is an easy walk to the beach. We enjoyed our stay. Terra was very responsive and quick to respond to our questions. She had food and water bowls for our fur babies. 10/10 recommend!!

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.

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.

Overall a very well taken care of house. Loved the space for everyone. Easy access to shops and the beach. Overall a great place to be.

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.

Kendra and the Seahorse Shanty are truly better than described. Kendra is phenomenal, incredibly quick to respond and more than kind. The location is just a couple of minutes walk from the beach and the grocery store, pairing that with how clean and well appointed the cottage is - it’s more than an exceptional find! If possible, I’d give a 10/5!!

The place was very nice and tidy. We enjoyed our night here and would definitely return. Everything that we needed was there and we couldn’t have asked for a better place.

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!

This was our second stay at the Flat Top and we will definitely be returning. Dustin was a great host again. The house was in immaculate shape. The big yard for the pups is a huge bonus especially being so close to the beach. Dustin is always very responsive. It feels like a home away from home. Thanks so much for having us again. ♥️

My family enjoyed the space. It was exactly what we were looking for. It was very clean and gave us a great place to rest or escape the sun. The host had beach chairs and toys in the garage which was a nice surprise. Also between communications over the app and the house book we never had to worry about local recommendations. It was a slam dunk for us!

We greatly enjoyed our weekend stay at the bungalow. Michael was extremely helpful and communicated leading up and during our stay. The screened in porch was our favorite part, it was the perfect spot to relax even when it rained since you could still enjoy being outside. We would highly recommend this place, we had an amazing weekend!

The place was perfect for us. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood. It’s about ~2 miles from the shops of Duck. The beach is less than five minutes walk—our dog loved it. We had a great time! The hosts were very responsive and check in and check out were a breeze.

As a family group of 7 people with 5 adults and 2 children we loved how spacious Second Wind was - allowing for together time and private time. I love the H-shaped floor plan: large open concept space in the center flanked by 2 bedrooms and a bath to each side - plus the bonus of a larger bedroom on each side). There were also areas to spread out and have a bit of “space” for smaller endeavors. While we didn’t have time for it I appreciated that the backyard would be great to use the badminton game I brought. It was close to the beach, the beds were comfortable, nice cookware in the kitchen, thoughtful details (provided coffee, charcoal, throw blankets, plenty of dishes and cutlery, a laundry room with a drying rack, the opportunity to bring our dog ). Our host Jane was very responsive and accommodating. Everyone said at some point, and some multiple times, how much we liked it and would definitely like to come back!

This place was perfect for our group! Mark was great with communication and always quick to respond! Loved that they had all the beach supplies youd need, made our vacation so much less stressful because we didnt have to worry about a thing there. Beach is so close too!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, clean, and just a short walk to the beach. It was perfect for our family, plenty of space and great for the kids. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a blast. The house is definitely worth the price. A very quick walk to the beach. The outdoor area is very nice. Loved the screened in porch. The outdoor shower was a plus. The house was spacious for 6 guest and doggo. The beds in the room with two single beds were a little hard but would be just fine for kids. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay so much! The space was clean, organized and felt right at home. It’s small and was perfect for My husband and I. The mini fridge had a fantastic freezer so we always had ice for our beach cooler. We loved how it was close to everything we needed while staying on the beach road. Britt and Nicole were quick to respond when we had a small issue with the wifi and had it fixed in less than 12 hours..In a nutshell we loved our stay and i plan on booking next year!

Another great stay with Katie!! We keep coming back! Place is clean, easy to get to, in walking distance of a coffee shop and close to the beach!

I really enjoyed our stay. The place was easy to find, the instructions were easy to follow. The cottage was clean and I liked that everything was labeled. Having a washer and driver was very convenient. The neighborhood was quiet and close to different restaurants and gas station. We met Tom and he was really nice and polite. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay there again!

Super quiet and peaceful location. We wanted an area without all the typical commercial development and high rise condos and Duck perfectly fit the bill! (No pun intended). A fairly easy bike ride to all the Duck restaurants and shopping. Beach was great and not crowded at all. We really enjoyed the house and the host was great in every aspect. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the porch furniture as that’s a nice area to sit and relax. You can clearly hear the waves crashing onto the beach. Hope we can visit again!

This is our third time staying at Diane’s place and it was wonderful as usual. It’s always refreshing to experience the quiet atmosphere and peaceful surroundings. Great place to relax.

We loved this place & it was exactly as it was listed/advertised! The Decor was modern coastal/surf vibe! Adorable! It was Great for kids & Adults also. There is a lot to do surrounding! Quick walk to beach! Awesome pool with outdoor shower. We were so happy with our stay! We highly recommend! Would go back. Any questions we had Vivian was very quick with a helpful kind response. Thank you! Very happy! We did not want to leave.

This was our first time making a return trip to an AirBNB and it did not disappoint! We loved coming back to the beautiful cabin and it was just as we remembered it. It’s an easy drive or bike ride to Kitty Hawk beach. We walked to Sandy Run Park every morning and our dog enjoyed the outdoor space. If you are looking for a quiet spot away from the hustle and bustle of the OBX but still with easy beach access, this is the place. We are already looking forward to next year’s beach house visit!

We loved the cottage. The privacy and peacefulness was such a treat. The cottage itself was immaculate and we really enjoyed the amazing water pressure, shower, and comfortable bed. Perfect retreat for a couple. The beach chairs, umbrella and bikes were also much appreciated. The AC units worked really well and were quiet. Would definitely book again!
