Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Southern Shores

Beautiful home with well maintained pool n hot tub. Had a great time with volleyball and cycling. Close to reach lot of places near outer banks. Only thing i would suggest is replacing the grill. Board games and game room is like a cherry on top. My family is very satisfied and wants to return every summer.

We had a wonderful stay here!! The house was lovely, the location was excellent, and it was in close proximity to stores, restaurants, etc.! We especially enjoyed the easy walk to the beach and all of the thoughtful "extras" that were provided (beach cart, chairs, umbrella, beach towels, and more). The outdoor shower and hot tub were nice additions as well. I'd highly recommend staying here!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for our group and was clean, well decorated, and ideally located. It was about a 15-20 min walk from the beach depending on which route you took and how much traffic there was crossing the main road, but this was perfect because you’re set back from the beach noise. You’re also a quick walk from the sound where you can watch the sunset. We had a really great weekend and looking forward to staying again!

If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful and homie place to stay, I definitely recommend this house. Robyn was very attentive, clear with communication and helpful with everything. The house is also full amenities from the kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms to even the grill outside. This place was a 5 out of 5 for me and our friends who visited!

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.

Lots of space, clean, and beautiful. There were discounts for a number of local businesses, and the location was perfect for beach access. Neighborhood was quiet and safe.

We enjoyed a great long weekend here - a lovely place, we enjoyed it a lot. The kids (and we) loved the Arcade room, the golf course as a back yard, the hot tub, and all the well designed and thoughtful details. Emily was super responsive and extremely helpful for tge few questions that we had, and this made our stay even better. Will definitely try to come here again!

From the time we booked the place it was stellar communication! Shane was responsive to our questions and extremely accomodating throughout the experience. Ideal location for us and when not out and about we loved relaxing out on both the front and back porch and evening in the back yard with the fire pit. Close to attractions /shopping/dining/ AND steps from the beach! We had plenty of adults to one busy toddler but with this a note there are two sets of stairs to block to keep little eyes off of this evidently 'key attraction' vs the toys we had with us! Highly recommend.

This place was very peaceful and comfortable. We had our big fur baby with us, she was greeted and treated with kindness. The upstairs neighbor was very kind, she even made us homeade banana nut bread one of our days there. She spoke to us if we were both out at the same time and even complimented our tans lol. I would suggest this stay for any hospitable guests :) There's tons of places to eat around, you can walk to the sound or the beach, there's plenty to do close by as well... the mini golf was lots of fun. We will deff look into staying again the next time we're coast way. Thanks for having a clean, tidy, peaceful place to chill after a hot sunny day on the beach 😁, and thanks again for the AMAZING banana nut bread!!!

We had such a great visit staying with Kristy! It was like staying with a family friend- she was so flexible with our late check-in, she was welcoming and accommodating. She had great recommendations for places to check out and even offered us beach extras like umbrellas, blankets, surfboards, and more. She made us feel right at home from the minute we arrived! The place is exactly as described. Even though it’s attached to her home, the apartment is completely separate with its own entrance. You get a full size fridge, basic kitchen amenities, a comfy bed and even an extra trundle bed which is new! It was less than a 3 min drive to the beach which was so convenient, and surrounded by fun shops, restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores. We would definitely return!

Very welcoming. Space was clean and a quiet and private location but still walkable to restaurants and the beach

Sarah was a great host! The place was perfect for my husband and I! So close to the beach as well! We loved everything

Such a charming and clean place to stay! We will definitely be back! The hot tub is squeaky clean, just like the rest of the house. Walking distance to everything, yet parking availability for when you don’t want to walk. I think we just found our new place to vacation. We genuinely couldn’t be happier.

This was my first stay through Airbnb and it was a great experience! Monica was a wonderful host. She stayed in contact with us giving us helpful directions for a smooth check in and check out. Very clean, cozy feeling space.

My partner and I spent a peaceful week in this cozy spot. Very clean and well equipped for cooking and relaxing :) We especially enjoyed hanging out on the dock by the water and eating meals in the screened-in outdoor space. The surrounding neighborhood was very friendly as well. Rob was an excellent host and addressed any and all inquiries in a timely manner. Would definitely stay here again if you're looking for a quiet getaway from the hustle and bustle of the more "quintessential" obx beach towns. Not a bad drive to Duck / Kitty Hawk either.

House was pristine! Excellent set up for the space. Plenty of room for our party of four. Had all the things you would need for vacation. Hot tub was fabulous close to all the things you could possibly want to do. The kids really appreciated the bikes. This is a split unit, but it feels very private. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you!!

Longacres lived up to the online description. It is a wonderful rustic cabin in the woods. It was the perfect setting for our photography trip to Alligator River NWR but also just a short distance from the Outer Banks. The cabin was a very comfortable place to unwind and review our images after a day out touring the reserve. I particularly liked the porch bedroom - a great "outdoor" experience. Anne was great host and I hope to return sometime in the near future.

Great place! Clean and homey with a well stocked kitchen.

Easy to check in and very clean, looked jsut like the pictures.

If you’re looking to get away and unplug and just listen to the sound of the water and relax, this is the perfect place. it’s very remote. The view on the dock and the deck is amazing and surreal. A perfect place for a getaway to recharge. Only suggestion is to do your shopping for the house before you go to the property as it is a little distance from everything. But overall, an amazing place would definitely book again.

We loved this beautiful home! Beautifully decorated-calm vibe. So cozy and comfortable. I’m also an Airbnb host and I can tell you this space is wonderful! Well worth the price point! Don’t miss out on the fire pit. Something about a fire with your family by the water…it’s truly magical. I highly recommend this place. You won’t be disappointed. Kathy is kind and accommodating. Super responsive and easy to communicate with. Can’t say enough. 10/10.

I had the best time at the cabin w 7 of my closest girlfriends for my 50th birthday.. there were lots of laughs . The house was cozy and beautifully decorated. The girls that slept upstairs kept raving about how comfortable the beds were. We had a fantastic stay and beach weekend, Taylor recommended a fantastic restaurant we went to for my birthday night as well! I would love to come back again sometime!
