Waterfront holiday rentals in Roanoke Island

We had the best stay at Jockey Ridge. Two adults, a 10yo and a dog. The space was beyond perfect, inside and out! The location was EXACTLY what we hoped for and more. The host was as fantastic as the property. Her attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed. We forgot a couple things, and to our surprise, it was included. Sound machine, etc. even poop bags for the dog! And a chew bone waiting for him outside. She made our vacation seamless. Not to mention being able to walk out the door and hike the beautiful sand dunes. Our 10yo loved sand boarding on a boogie board that she provided. We tried all the restaurants she suggested, and more. They were all a hit. What a special place! We booked it from what we saw online, out of hundreds of other locations, and something drew us to this place. And in person, it was better than we could have ever imagined. We hope to do it again next year, and maybe a couple times in between, too! Thank you Jockey Ridge. You made memories forever!

2nd time staying here the location is perfect for walking the boardwalk or around town. The kitchen is just enough for 2 and the hot plate made for easy eggs for breakfast. We will defintely rent this place again!

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!

This is a fantastic unit for a couple (or best friends!) retreat. The location is perfect - directly across the street from beach entrance, walking distance to great coffee shops, local ice cream, surf shops, brewery, food, convenience stores, and more! I liked the house was at the end of a cul-de-sac so no traffic on the street. The host is very friendly and responsive with great directions. Check in/out was hassle free. I will definitely be coming back for a long weekend getaway!

Beautiful & peaceful home!! Walkable to many places and the beach. Tiffany was incredibly helpful & went out of her way to make sure we had a long list of suggestions for things to do, restaurants, etc. Spending time in the backyard was lovely. We will absolutely be back!!

Really enjoyed the condo it was a perfect base camp for a variety of activities in the OBX. There was a well stocked kitchen which was great as we did a lot of home meals. The condo was nicely decorated, and the beds were super comfy! James was easy to contact and communicated back quickly if asked a question. Was a great stay.

Thomas’s place was perfect! Very relaxing, quiet, and serene. I enjoyed the view overlooking the water. The apartment had everything that I needed to feel at home. I do wish there was a TV in the bedroom, but other than that it definitely earned a 5-star review!

We had a wonderful stay at Arielle’s place! The home was exactly as described—clean and cozy. Check-in was seamless, and communication with Arielle was quick and easy. The location was perfect—close to everything but still peaceful. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thanks for a great stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The host, Nicki, was wonderful to work with. She was very informative, helpful and quick to respond with any questions that we had. The home and surroundings were beautiful. The house was extremely clean, open and inviting and the views from the property and grounds were absolutely stunning. We will definitely consider future stays with Nicki and even possibly at this home again in the future.

Areca was super friendly and helpful. The location is perfect -- quiet and relaxing, and a great launching point to many of the OBX sites and activities in the nearby area. You'll love this place!

Wonderful views and easy access to the water. Good place with young children. (We had a toddler and a baby as part of our group.) The sitting area in the master suite was a great place to play board games and chat in the evenings without disturbing the little ones sleep. Great deck with sturdy chairs of the correct height to see the ocean over the railing. Lots of restaurants nearby and grocery stores and even a Target less than 2 miles away.

Shelia, We loved your house! Our family enjoyed an Easter egg hunt in the yard. Your decor is so spa like. It allows your beautiful views to be the focus. Your deck and the views are so relaxing. We did not want to leave!

The house is in Duck. It was easy to find and the neighborhood amenities were lovely and well maintained. The house was well equipped and in good condition. The only updates needed are the outdoor cushions. The property manager was available and responsive and we were grateful for his quick and helpful responses. We hope to return soon!

Amazing place to stay. Our kids had so much fun on the beach and in the pool. So much space for families. Great vacation!

Top to bottom this was the best airbnb experience I have ever had, the house was even better than the pictures and the house had everything you could possibly need. I would stay there over and over. It is so beautiful and peaceful there, so much to do, the hosts answered all my questions and accommodated an earlier check in which was great because we had been driving for two days. Truly no notes 10 out of 10 experience

We stayed at this house for a long weekend. It was a girls trip for my mom’s 86th birthday. We loved everything about the house! We had a rainy first day… But it didn’t bother us a bit! We stayed in our PJs in your lovely top floor and watched movies! Lisa was very helpful and answered any question I had quickly. We all agree that we would definitely stay here again!

The calm waves is super cozy and has everything a family with young kids needs (including some toys and baby proofing). It is in a great location that feels very family friendly and short walk to the beach and restaurants. This was our second stay and we hope to visit again!

Very nice clean condo in a great place. Everything went smoothly and we had a very pleasant stay.

Obsessed! How neat to be above the Kitty Hawk Kite shop! A beautiful spot with the most beautiful views!

Our stay was pretty perfect! The views were amazing and the condo was comfortable. Easily accessible, very close to a lot of really great places like Swells’a Brewing brewery, which is a 5 minute walk. Gene was very responsive and helpful, he made the stay a breeze! The condo was so clean and felt like home. We will definitely stay again.

We had an amazing time staying at Suite Caroline! it was perfect for our vacation! Shops were easily accessible and close by, and the private beach entrance was amazing! Very quiet condo and area. Communication with the hosts was 10/10 and they responded promptly! Would 10/10 come back and vacation here! :)

Steve's place was awesome. Everything we needed and more. Clean and views from balcony were to die for. We will be back.

Exactly as expected, pictures say it all! Very clean, easy to communicate with the host, well appointed condo. With 4 kids, it can be tough to find something everyone likes to do, no problem with the recommendations and coupons! Thank you!! We had a wonderful time and love that we could stay right on the beach!! Thank you for everything! Melissa

This was a wonderful place to stay-quiet, peaceful with lots of light and a beautiful view from the deck! The condo was beautifully appointed. It was also easy to get to the National Seashore. An added bonus was an easy ride to hook up with the bike path!
