Cottage holiday rentals in Albemarle Sound

Thanks again for another relaxing stay at “Breakin’ Wind”! It’s been 5 years since our last trip here and we loved coming back to Terra’s place. We especially loved the hot tub, shelling and walks on the beach and seeing the horses again.

Very nice for a girls weekend get away. The neighborhood was quiet, and conveniently located to the things we wanted to do.

Me & my 3 boys spent 3 nights at this wonderful hideaway. Alex has everything you need in the kitchen. (Microwave handle was coming off ) but that is literally the only complaint other than hot tub wouldn’t warm up for us! Other than that. All the kitchen items you need, tons of space, beautiful clean, water front house. I swear you have views of the water from every single window in the house. Comfy beds, tvs functioning. Oh we couldn’t figure out retro gaming system and we have tech savvy boys. But who cares because the trip was about getting off screens. We kayaked and used the dock for fishing. My son caught a catfish, blue crabs, and a stingray. He really never left the dock. So peaceful. We want to come back!

Beautiful location!! The host was quick with responses and very safe area. The location is very close to the public access. Will be back in the future!!

Cozy home in a perfect location! Especially is you plan to run the Flying Pirate Half Marathon!

Pictures don't really do it justice. It is much brighter and lighter inside than shown on Airbnb. Very cute house, would consider it again for future bookings. Back yard is an oasis and the hot tub is a perk!

My husband, dog, and I had an amazing stay here! The house was spotless and well stocked with everything we needed. We accidentally locked ourselves out the first day and Whitney came to our rescue within 10mins! Location was very convenient and the neighborhood was nice. EV charger in the garage was also a big plus for us!

We had a very relaxing stay at this home! It was charmingly decorated and had enough space for 4 of us to spread out. Communication was clear and the hosts were responsive. The home was well located, convenient to quite a few restaurants within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.

Had a great stay at Maria and Steve's! Place was clean and as listed. Only tricky part was the house is across the highway from the beach access which meant having to drive and find parking or cross a very busy road.

The Flat Top on First is the perfect place for a beach vacation! Dustin and Karol have made sure you have everything you need during your stay, including toiletries! We could have gone with just our clothes and been just fine 😂. The beach is so close with easy access, and several grocery stores within 5 minutes. Dustin is also quick to answer any questions. 10/10!

Awesome location for exploring the entire Outer Banks! This place is the perfect combination of comfort and convenience. The house has everything you need for a fun get away; beach gear, bikes, fishing poles, crab pod, etc. We loved having the “starter set” of toilet paper, dish soap. Laundry soap and trash bags. It was just what we needed to settle in quickly until we had time to run to the store to restock. The yard was a great size and our pup had plenty of room to run. The neighborhood was quiet and had great side streets for walking and bike riding. We loved that we could quickly get to stores, landmarks, beaches, and parks. One note: the windows are totally see through at night-use the curtains. In the morning, the birds throw themselves at the windows at their reflections. It sounds like someone is knocking on the doors or windows- it’s just the birds, LOL, and if you open the curtains you get an awesome close up view of all of the birds and squirrels. We loved our stay!

We stayed for 4 nights had a wonderful time. Great food around us. Shops everywhere. Beach was about a 10 minute walk or free parking if you drive. We loved every minute of our stay and we definitely will be back. Hosts were prompt and welcoming. They made you feel like you were a family member staying at their house. Thank you Annette and Greg

Randy is a great host. I found the house very clean when I first got there and he had everything anyone would need for a beach vacation. I would definitely be going back next year.

Great place to stay. Very nice and clean!!! Great location!!! Nice community!!

Great location, only a five minute walk to the beach and you can hear the waves while sitting on the top deck. The house had everything we needed. It was perfectly decorated and very comfortable for lounging after the day's adventures. The fenced in back yard was perfect for our family with dogs, and included a picnic table next to the grill which was perfect for seafood eating. Bikes were great and many other beach necessities for the summer months. Brian provided very detailed instructions and suggestions for restaurants and more. Great place!

We stayed in the off season, and the houses nearby were unoccupied. It was wonderfully quiet and peaceful. The house was perfect and Kimberly was very friendly and communicative. We’ll definitely rent this house again!

This is a beautiful area of NC with great access to many places to kayak, such as Merchant’s Millpond State Park, Bennett’s Creek, Little River, and the Perquimans River (that boat launch is just down the road). This is our second visit to the Cottage; we’d happily stay there again. The kitchen and linens were well stocked. The beds are very comfortable. They’ve added a deck since our first visit, which we enjoyed. Be sure to visit Layden’s Store up the road! In all, a great place to stay.

House is beautiful and perfect for my husband and I plus our granddaughter stayed with us one night. Full kitchen, plenty of bathroom towels, comfortable beds, sweet touches to make all complete. Would love to stay again!

Maria’s cozy little house was very comfortable, and we especially enjoyed the backyard and her beautiful paintings. The beach is nearby, though it’s best to drive due to a busy intersection. The Wright Brothers’ Museum is just a short drive away, and Maria was incredibly helpful in recommending places to visit.

The view from the porch and out the windows is STUNNING. Beautiful river view, incredible sunsets. House had good AC and cute little v clean bathroom. Kitchen was fine. There is a set of steps to get up into the house, as shown in the pics, so might not be the easiest choice for someone elderly or physically challenged. But for most people, this little place might be just the restful spot they are craving! Thank you, Melissa!

My coworkers and I came for a beach week and had the best time here!!!! This was the perfect place to stay and exceeded our expectations. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. They have a cute and delicious açaí place next door that we enjoyed every morning. The home was clean and conveniently right next to the beach. I could not recommend this space more to stay at! We hope to come back!

From beginning to end this cottage is off the charts. Cute, unique, functiinal, confortable, well organized, thoroughly supplied and the location is private and beautiful.

This historic beach cottage is in a peaceful, beautiful neighborhood. It’s centrally located, so it was a quick ride to visit friends in Duck, as well as my favorite restaurants in Kitty Hawk, KDH, and Nags Head. I was traveling with my dog, and Ginger had toys/treats ready for her after our long drive from Connecticut. I will definitely book again next time I’m in town.

Drew’s space was the perfect spot for an Outer Banks adventure! Being able to walk to the beach and swimming next to a shipwreck was amazing. It was also a great location to get to other parts of the island. When we got there and realized that some linens were missing, Drew was on it and remedied the situation immediately and was very helpful. I highly recommend the Swell Life and we can’t wait to be back!
