The Dock
This Airbnb was great! We were a little skeptical at first because its located right in between all of the small shops, but it was awesome!

Knot Three - Balcony View of ICW - Dog Friendly!
My wife and I are kayaking the ICW and needed a place near the water to wait out a storm. Gia’s place is PERFECTLY located! We landed right in front of the apartment and it was easy to pull the boat out with the little boat ramp. Also, it is just across the water from the famous restaurant at Coinjock marina that everyone had been telling us about. Gia have lots of great instructions on how to enter, though the local recommendations were over the top (I think this is encouraged by AirBnB, though). Her responses were immediate, which helped us quickly decide to book with her because she is so proactive. The apartment is just as described, and had everything we needed for our two night stay. We liked having the little balcony with a view of the water. That is a nice feature!! The building itself is in need of some maintenance, though that won’t affect your stay. It seems as if a bunch of improvement work is underway at the premises, meaning this place will be even more amazing soon!

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.

Outer Banks Luxurious & Secluded Beach Getaway #1
A great alternative to the typical beach place. Private and serene, 1/2 mile from beach

Pool | Stunning Ocean View | Balcony | MP 9
We had a great stay. Everything was neat and clean. Comfortable. Lots of dishes to use. The pool was nice and the little walk to the beach was nice. Loved being able to sit on the balcony and see the ocean. 10/10!

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!!

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"
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.

Ritzin' It - Beach side,Hot tub,Easy beach access
Me and my 3 friends stayed for 3 nights and had a great time. Eric was responsive and very respectful and reasonable. Would recommend and would go again!

Canal Front Cottage - Family & Pet Friendly!
We enjoyed our stay! Great pool to enjoy! The dog park nearby was not completely fenced, so anyone with a dog that could potentially run off, has to monitor them constantly. Also, the "park" did not allow dogs to accompany families going to the swings or beachy area. Therefore, the family had to split up, or not bring the dog to the community area at all. Luckily Nags Head and Kitty Hawk beaches allowed dogs during the day.

SERENE SOUND RETREAT OBX /Sandy Beach/Dog Friendly
Excellent location, very nice neighborhood. House is well laid out especially for a handicap person which we had. We enjoyed our stay

NEW! Stunning Beach House w/Ocean View & Hot Tub!
I love the memories our family shared together here. Our family has vacationed in OBX several years, and Kat’s house is a true gem that stands out because we: - Walked quickly to and from the beach. Cars would stop to allow us to cross the street. - Made meals together in our well equipped kitchen. We also dined in nearby local restaurants. - Found quality supplies and equipment in laundry, bathrooms, outdoor shower, and beach closet. - Relaxed in the hot tub. All six of us fit comfortably together! The hot tub was clean, modern, and well maintained. - Soaked in amazing views on the top deck with quality, comfortable seating. - Enjoyed games like Jumanji, Tiki Toss, and Twister during rain. Next time we may try OBX Monopoly. Katherine’s service is best in class because she is proactive, thoughtful, and effective. I didn’t worry about a thing! Our guests ranged from preschool age to retired, and we all valued our stay. We appreciated your comfortable and thoughtful space. Thank you!

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

Sounds Groovy OBX: Waterfront Home w/ Dock
We had a wonderful stay… the OBX is now our favorite vacations spot! Sounds Groovy was Awesome with wonderful and responsive hosts.

'Loophole' | Oceanfront | Historic Cottage
This home certainly makes for a relaxing vacation, as you have direct walk-out access to the beach; it feels warm and welcoming, everything you need to unwind and simply enjoy the sea and sand. Ideal location. We would definitely stay again.

Bruce’s Retreat Waterfront Home Entire 3 Bd 2 Ba
Loved the place. Only suggestion would be have more than 6 towels. Some folks like to use one for hair and one for body. Also, staying for a few days, it would be nice to have a fresh towel after a few days. Other thank that, we loved it!
Waterfront condo accommodation

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!!!

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!

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.

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

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!
