Holiday rentals with a patio in Southern Shores

Our stay at the Sit N' Duck was absolutely perfect! The residence is well laid out with amenities to make your stay as easy and care-free as possible. Mary and Larry provided everything we could have possibly needed, and the washer and dryer were a helpful additional touch. If we wanted a beach day, it was only a 2-minute walk to a very secluded and peaceful section of the beach with great views, the sound of the ocean, and pristine waves. We brought a small beach cart which was easily maneuvered out and down the beach access boardwalk, but if you're packing light it wouldn't be hard to carry everything for the short distance. Even in the rain, there are wonderful covered sitting areas to sit out and enjoy the rain as we read a book or just chatted. Additionally, there's no shortage of things to do nearby in a short drive up to Duck or down to Kitty Hawk or Kill Devil Hills. We couldn't have imagined a better trip to OBX and we look forward to hopefully staying again in the future!

My family and I stayed at woods and waves mid May 2025. The landscape and pool looked better in person than online. The apartment was extremely clean and comfortable. The host Christy and Thomas were very friendly and welcoming. They even heated the pool for our little baby since he doesn’t like the cold water. I would absolutely come back I wish we stayed longer than just a weekend.

The house was very pretty and comfortable. It's close to a lot of restaurants and things to do. Katie is great and made checking in and out a breeze.

We had such a sweet and peaceful vacation because of Taramaries place! Not to mention how comfy those beds were! I didn’t want to leave! I appreciated all of the complimentary items as well as generously sharing beach chairs! I would highly recommend this place! It was just a 5 minute walk to the beach!

Wonderful place to stay in Kitty Hawk! It was easy to locate and was very close to activities. The place was clean and had everything you would need in the kitchen, bathroom, etc. The host was very responsive to messages and was very nice! Highly recommend staying here! Thanks for having us!

Sarah was a great host! The place was perfect for my husband and I! So close to the beach as well! We loved everything

We had a great experience. Check in was easy. The condo was very clean and stocked with everything we needed.

The place was great. It was really clean and well kept. Whenever there was any issues they were very responsive. Overall great experience would recommend.

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!

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

Great location and home for our friends with family trip! The pool and backyard was the perfect hangout and the beach was a quick walk away. Very comfortable for 3 families all with kids! Grateful our fur babies could join as well! Travis was very communicative and helpful. Highly recommend this spot!

The place was just as described in its listing on the air bnb app/website. Katie was very friendly and responded to any of our questions in a timely manner. Thanks for a memorable stay!

We had a wonderful time at Sarah’s place! The location is perfect. We loved the pool, hot tub, and only being steps from the beach! Sarah was very helpful and easy to communicate with. We will definitely stay here again when we return to OBX!

Wonderful hosts! The house was immaculate, kitchen was well stocked and the beds were very comfortable. I really appreciated the list of recommended restaurants and coffee shops (Front Porch Cafe was winner! 😊) We would 100% stay here again.

Lovely stay by the beach. Fully equipped and steps away to the beach. It has a unique history which was great to read about. Nicely furnished and has all the necessary amenities for a great beach vacation for the family

Gia’s DuckUtopia was everything we hoped it would be! There was something for everyone in my family. Although Gia provided lots of ideas and tips for the area, we loved just hanging out. The views of the sound were amazing. The pool and hot tub were perfect. My husband and son enjoyed the kayaks. My husband and daughter also enjoyed fishing for crab. Cleaning up with the outdoor shower after the beach was so easy. We loved all the amenities, especially the kitchen gadgets! All we needed to bring was food and towels for the beach. The place was clean and the neighborhood was quiet. We hope to return next year…to finish the ping pong match that got rained out! What a relaxing time! Thanks, Gia!

Spent a wonderful girl’s trip in this condo and enjoyed every second. Beautiful, clean space, easy beach accesses, and walkable to my favorite restaurants. This was the perfect place to stay to introduce my friends to OBX for the first time. Would absolutely stay again!

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!!!

This was an ideal location in Duck, NC. The beach associated with the resort was devine! The surrounding area is mostly single family homes, making the beach very private to the resort. The unit is located away from the pool, so it was very quiet and lovely. The view is not really of water, but it's a great deck to watch sunsets. I would return to this AirBnB again!

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!

Emily maintained an open line of communication from before checkin through the day of checkout. She even messaged us to ensure everything was perfect during the stay. Her home is clean and organized, and smelled amazing (love the Pura diffusers!) The amenities are exactly as described. Her home is in a quiet cul-de-sac and within walking distance to the beach and several restaurants. She even gives you personalized recommendations of places to eat and things to do. I would highly recommend her place for your next vacation!!

The only thing that wasn’t great, was the limited amount of toilet paper. We needed more than one roll for each bathroom.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautifully updated and nicely appointed condo on Roanoke Island. The views of the Pamlico Sound were absolutely stunning—especially at sunrise with a cup of coffee in hand. The location was perfect, just a short drive to great restaurants and the Lost Colony outdoor show. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked with all the basics we needed for cooking. We also loved the spacious dining and living area—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Highly recommend!

Extremely responsive host. Great place to stay.
