Semi-Oceanfront Beach Cottage I
Chase’s place is a perfect get away for 2-4 people. It’s soooo close to the beach, just a 3 min walk over the dune. It was quiet and private and had great outdoor space including chairs on the upper deck and picnic table below to toss all the beach stuff when returning from the beach. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning and wi fi were strong! We were able to walk for coffee at Muffins and Scones and wine & beer at Cork and Bottle, both of which were fantastic! So refreshing to find an air bnb with all the furnishings in an area dominated by rental companies that require you to bring or rent your own linens. Thanks Chase!

Waterfront Beach Bungalow
The Bungalow was absolutely stunning and more than what we imagined!! Craig has great stories!! We will return to this magical oasis…

*Pet Friendly*Island Beach Shack with Pool!
Hands down my favorite stay in the OBX, great location, perfect for my puppy, can walk to the beach, local convenience store/food. Host was amazing gave me great recommendations!

Romantic Soundfront retreat private hot tub/deck
We had a wonderful stay. The view from the sliding glass doors was beautiful in the morning!! It was clean & as described. Donna was very helpful with instructions and information about what to do & places to eat. We will definitely be returning!!

Beach Retreat - Private Studio Apartment
Really enjoyed our second stay at Sonny and Mikaila's place this summer! Really a perfect location, close to everything. Great time of year to have the beach to yourself! Enjoyed climbing Currituck Beach Lighthouse and visiting the Wright Brothers Museum and Memorial. Great dinner at Mama Kwan's (as always!) and a great sunset dinner at Miller's Waterfront. Been coming to OBX for over 30 years and it never gets old! Thanks for a great stay, see you next summer! Ally Tequila Sunset, Harpers Ferry WV

Farm Cottage at the beach
Perfect for our family beach trip. Super easy access to the public beach. The public parking fills up early but we were able to bike to the beach several days. The highlight of the trip for our two boys was frog catching in the yard and gardens at the house. The apartment is over a garage and was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. Would definitely recommend for a small family looking for some outdoor space when not at the beach. Thanks for the great stay!

Green Door Guest Room at OBX Beach
I stayed here for for a nearby wedding in Duck and the location could not have been more convenient to the venue and the fun downtown Duck area with shopping, restaurants, etc. The size of the apartment was perfect for a few people and very peaceful. We loved the screened in porch. I would strongly recommend this as a great option for an obx stay!

Colington island guesthouse
Olga was very helpful and recommended things for us. She gave us our privacy but was there if we needed anything. Would definitely stay here again! Beautiful property with plenty of space and chance to see wildlife.

Roanoke Retreat
Evan and Taylor's private guest house was perfect for our weekend getaway! The pictures don't do it justice with how spacious all the rooms are! Everything was spotless and there were many thoughtful extras like qtips in the bathroom, beach towels in the entryway and coffee in the kitchen. We definitely felt right at home. There is a mini split in the bedroom that faces the bed so we slept cool and comfortably. The best part is the privacy - the entrance faces a mostly vacant street and you can park literally right in front of the door making loading in and out a breeze. We did miss the turn the first time so pay close attention to the written instructions since there aren't marked road signs (at this time). Manteo has always been one of my favorite spots in OBX! It's nice to be away from all the craziness of in-season, yet you're still only 15min (16 to be exact) from Jockey's ridge. Overall, this is a hidden gem and perfect for a relaxing, low-key vacation!

Captains Quarters 2
It was a great stay . Location couldn’t have been more private yet quick to access everything. It was very nice having your private dock with all the amenities of kayaks down to a fishing pole. Place was very comfortable and spotless. Sunsets were spectacular

The Beach Palette Outer Banks - Tiny Home
This was our first tiny home stay - and it was wonderful! We really enjoyed the indoor screen porch where we had morning coffee, the hammock outside was the perfect resting place. We appreciated all the little things like food recommendations, amenities, and access to beach items. The house was full of natural light and amazing artwork, which really helped that “feeling right at home” experience! We’ll definetly be back! Thank you Carolina and Brian :)

Southern Comfort
We absolutely loved our stay here. It was so quiet and relaxing. Loved the view of the canal from the pool. We even got to see some dear outback which was the icing on the cake! We will definitely be back

Couples Getaway-Central Location-Hey, Get A Room!
The keypad batteries were dead when I arrived and Holli responded instantly. She came down to let me in and replace them right away. Great location and very clean, I will stay there when working in town whenever possible.

Pool side in the country
Really amazing people Tony and his wife were so friendly and we felt like family the whole time there. Definitely God’s country the view the peaceful surroundings. They had so much stuff to accommodate your stay. From the Bikes to the Ping Pong Table to Corn Hole. My family and I were very comfortable during our stay. The apartment was beautiful comfy and cozy. The sleep number beds were amazing as well. We will definitely be back for the great southern hospitality that they offer. I recommend anyone visiting the area to definitely pick this place as your home away from home and some. Ty Tony and Patsy and your amazing grandkids for making our stay a memorable one. See you again 🙏🏼🫶🏻♥️

OBX Village Studio
Tyler’s place was the perfect spot to stay for a 4 night trip. It had everything we need and Tyler was great with communication.

The Soundside Studio
If you are looking for a beautiful, peaceful place to stay then don't hesitate, just book this place. Abby had great communication from the beginning. She was alerted that I was having trouble with the door (my error not the Airbnb) and came right out to assist. She gave me cool recommendations and offered a tour of the outdoor area. Even though the guesthouse is right next to the main house, you won't hear any noise from the house and will have your own personal entrance. The room was super clean and everything was thought of. If you love nature then I highly advise sitting out by the water. I came into town to photograph black bear cubs at Alligator River and this is the perfect home base. It's a short drive to restaurants and shops. On the 2nd day, I met her husband Chad and he was equally friendly. I would absolutely stay here again.

Central Location in KDH
Howland was friendly and very responsive to our needs. We look forward to staying with her again!

New Coinjock guesthouse w/elevator, kitchen & W/D
Definitely worth it! Loved the beautiful surroundings and was in a private area! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone driving/passing through! Deb was extremely helpful and assisted as needed!

Owl’s Landing in Southern Shores
Perfect stay. Very clean and nicely finished house. We loved this location in OBX of anywhere we visited during our stay. Access to the local HOA private beaches is really nice, and a nice benefit we hadn’t considered before booking. Duck town is not too far. The only thing we couldn’t think of is the pictures don’t do the place justice, it’s much nicer in person!

The Caroline Cottage
Tod was an excellent host! The apartment was immaculate and the decor lovely! It had plenty of towels, wash clothes, toiletries and extra bedding. It was conveniently located and very walkable or by bicycle to shops, restaurants and the waterfront. We love Manteo! Thank you, Tod for a wonderful Memorial Day weekend & hope to be back in the future.
