Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Horses-Views-Dog Friendly-4WD Area
The place was perfect. Very well stocked and pet friendly. We saw horses daily by the rental. Very easy access to the beach. Only thing it needs is a sign out by the entrance of the driveway with house #. We came in at night during a storm and it took us a few minutes to find the drive. I definitely recommend.

The Sea Perch~ Stylish Beachbox with Hot Tub!
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.

Easy Breezy beach house on secluded waterfront
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.

OBX Beach House *Heated Pool&Hot Tub* in Duck
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.

Lake Front/Pool Access/Pet Friendly/Wifi
Loved my stay !!! Beds were super comfy! And the house was super nice with a 10 min walk to the beach !

Seahorse Shanty
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!!

Kitty Hawk Cottage w/ HotTub, Fire pit, Ocean View
We had a wonderful stay in Kitty Hawk. Mark and Billy’s place was accurately described, in a fantastic location close to the beach. The place had everything we needed to cook full meals and have a blast. We would definitely recommend their place to anyone in the OBX area!

*Hot-Tub* Pet Friendly Community Pool, Cottage KDH
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!

Classic Flat Top, Beach 3 min walk, Pets Stay Free
So glad this listing was available definitely exceeded my expectations. It’s hard to find a home so accommodating to the fur babies. I was floored walking into a clean home fully stocked with all the amenities plus. It was like staying in a hotel with the feeling of being at home. Hands down the best beach stay ever totally recommend and hopefully I get that chance to visit again.

Juhl of the Sea
We really enjoyed staying at Chad’s place. It was very clean and comfortable and we felt like we were in a tree house with all the beautiful trees outside the windows. We loved the porches and the close proximity to restaurants and the beach. Chad was very friendly and responsive. We definitely will be staying again.

Spiced Rum-steps to beach, updated cottage, pet
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!

Unique, Steps to Beach, EV Charger & Pet Friendly
We had an amazing time! The house was incredible and so close to the beach. It was also extremely clean! We will definitely be back - loved how close the house was to everything, especially the coffee shop!

OBX Tree House (Avon, NC)
This is a fantastic place to stay! The walk to the beach is so easy and the neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful. The house has everything you need and it is very comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped and we used the outside grill to cook delicious fish that we got at a great local seafood place. We would definitely stay here again!

Historic Beach Cottage 700ft to ocean #singlestory
Beautiful location on a quiet dead end street! Just a short walk to the beach all while being surrounded by other wildlife (deer, bunnies, turtles). It’s the best of both worlds! The area is perfect. Not too crowded but if you want to shop or eat, everything is just a short drive away. The kitchen cookware, stove and beach chairs could use updating but definitely not a reason to not stay here. We will definitely be back as our family and pup had a great time! Host was very responsive and friendly!

Oceanside/Short walk to🏖/Fenced Yard/Dog friendly🐾
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!

Ocean View, Family Cottage Located on Beach Road
Sarah was a great and responsive host and the location was absolutely beautiful, a nice private beach across the street, this stay at Sarahs helped make our trip as phenomenal as it was.
Private cottage rentals

Surf shack Rodanthe
Scooters place is very unique, a peaceful setting and very private, virtually one of a kind. You’re going to love it. It’s warm in the daytime but delightful in the evening and early morning. You’ll hear the sounds of chirping birds and frogs. This is one you don’t wanna miss. There’s just something magical about all those antique surfboards in the loft above you. we are definitely headed back again.

Seewoo Cottage
We had a great time!! Jeff was a SUPER host. His communication and details from directions to suggestions on things to do and places to eat were excellent!!! The beach access was really close and not crowded at all. The location is great with stores and restaurants within 5-15 minutes. We enjoyed our morning coffee out on the deck and even got to see the deer out back by the creek. We would gladly rent this cottage again and highly recommend it!!!

Cozy Beach Cottage
We had a fantastic stay at this house! Just the right size for our family of 5. The location is terrific—a short walk to the beach, park, restaurants, and coffee shops. The grocery store is very close too! There's a wonderful farmer's market on Thursday mornings. The beach has a lifeguard, so I felt ok letting my teenagers go to the beach without us. It's on a quiet street, and we felt safe biking and walking around the neighborhood. The storage area is stocked with chairs, beach umbrellas, bicycles, etc. We will definitely book again!

Sanderling Escape in Duck
What a charming, impeccably clean and ultra comfortable home in our favorite Duck community, The Sanderling! We couldn't have been happier :-) The home was just perfect for our small group..the furniture was modern, clean and decorated with class. And, the kitchen was quite well stocked for our family who very much appreciates engaging in home cooked meals. The laundry machines were brand new and convenient being on the ground floor. We loved having everything on one level and of course...never missed an early morning sunrise and sunset across the street at the Sanderling dock! A magical time indeed - thank you Mark, for everything!

Mann Cottage
Steve and Judy were great host. The place looked exactly like the pictures and described. The place felt like a home away from home. It was located in a nice quiet neighborhood and was easy to find. Steve and Judy kept in contact to make sure everything was going well. They were quick to responded and were also great with given recommendations of things to do. I would definitely book with them and their cottage again

Cozy Hatteras Island Abode ~ 1 Mi to Frisco Beach!
Just loved it. We felt very comfortable in this spacious cabin. The house had a wonderful, woodsy smell to it. The kitchen had everything we needed. Was even able to do a load of laundry. We also loved the screened-in porch. Had coffee there in our jammie’s and felt very comfortable doing that. The beds were very comfortable. I love how thr home is decorated. Restaurants, beaches, shopping, and excellent sunset viewing places were nearby. Highly recommended!

Beachburg - Walk to the beach!
Her place was perfect for our family of four. The walk to beach was super easy and loved she had all the beach toys for the kids and the cart was super nice to have. Her place was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. Definitely will keep her place in my favorites for when we come down again. She was a great host and she was very easy to communicate with. Thanks again for a great stay!

OBX*Beach*Sunsets*Bike Path*Surf*Good Vibes*Waves
This was the perfect fit for my small family for a short getaway! We stayed in the top of the home. Everything was very clean, and the hosts responsiveness was outstanding! We would certainly stay here again!
