Family-friendly holiday rentals in Albemarle Sound

Enjoyed every minute of our stay! The dogs loved the location and driving on the beach was a lot of fun. 2 stallions walked through the dunes directly off the porch. The house was cozy and all we needed!

This is our 2nd stay here, and we have loved both visits! The kids love the pool, we love to walk to the beach and to town. Such a great house in a great location!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay! The studio apartment was beautifully decorated with stylish touches throughout — even better than the photos. It was by far the cleanest Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at — absolutely spotless. Having our own private hot tub right outside the door was such a treat and made our stay feel even more special. The neighborhood felt very safe and peaceful, and we felt genuinely welcomed by the hosts. They were extremely responsive and quick to reply to any questions we had. We would definitely love to stay here again!

The home was spacious and clean. Stores, beach, restaurants, and activities all within walking distance. Highly recommend! Sandra was very responsive and the maintenance people were quick to arrive and address a burnt out light bulb even though we advised it wasn’t an emergency. Great place to stay and great people to work with.

Great location, perfect walk to the beach, almost like oceanfront. Great hang out space and kitchen. Lots of extra blankets, fan for the white noise people. Great outdoor shower and basketball hoop. Walk to the beach was quick and not too challenging. Clean pool and hot tub!!! Would definitely come back!!!

We had such a wonderful few days at the Mermaid Lagoon. The house was absolutely beautiful and very clean. We felt right at home. We will definitely come back.

We had the best time here, its exactly like the pictures and the host goes above and beyond with recommendations/ items provided and cleanliness!

Lisa was very accommodating during our stay and was able to get the pool open for us to use!! Thanks so much, the house is very large and there is plenty of space to spread out.

The first thing I noticed when we walked in was how clean the house was and how amazing it smelled! The house is just as pictured and very spacious. The beds and linens were clean and comfortable. We had 3 adults, two teens and a large yellow lab. So much space for all of us. The views were gorgeous. I watched the sunrise every morning from either the kitchen window, primary bedroom or the beach just a short walk away. The dog friendly beach was so great and everyone was so friendly. Maria and Mike went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. They were genuinely kind and thoughtful hosts. We enjoyed a much needed relaxing vacation here riding bikes, beach walks, shopping, and great family time in the house. The house provided everything we needed. It was nice to easily wash the dog off outside after beach trips. This was our first trip to the Outer Banks and we can’t wait to return! Thank you!

We stayed here over spring break with our young kids. Tommy and Janet were very friendly and responsive. The location is great! Literally right across the street from the beach, and close to our all time favorite brewery :) we'd love to come back again in the summer months!

Awesome stay. The house is awesome and in a quiet neighborhood tucked away but not far at all from the beach, sound, and all the restaurants/bars. Very dog friendly with everything gated in and we loved the big backyard. I love a good deck and this house has a lot of good deck space including a rooftop deck which was super nice for sunsets. Very clean when we got there and had no issues at all. Perfect spot for a lil getaway with a few friends or family 🤙🏼

Host was very nice and helpful. She answered all questions! Great place very peaceful and quiet while close to everything.

We had a wonderful stay with our puppy! Chuck was very thoughtful and welcoming with the many amenities available. We felt right at home and it's so close to restaurants and the water. Looking forward to our next visit!

My family loved our spring break trip to the Beach Barn. The house is in an amazing location just a short walk to the beach and lots of shops and restaurants. The central location in Nags Head is the perfect jumping off point for exploring all parts of the Outer Banks. Alison provided excellent instructions and flexibility with check-in, and was very responsive when we had a minor issue with the washing machine during our stay. The house itself has everything you would need for a beach vacation, especially with kids. There were toys, books, games, and beach supplies available. Amy kids particularly loved the Super Mario Brothers monopoly and bunk beds. Would definitely recommend!

We had a great stay! Everything was exactly as described. The place was very clean, comfortable, and well taken care of. We also really appreciated how kind and responsive the host was through messages. We would definitely stay here again! ♥️♥️♥️

First of all it’s a beautiful house, well kept. Areca is always reachable and prompt with her responses. Baring few minor issues like door locks not working, we had a pleasant experience. Note: being a house next to backwaters you will find few guests (spiders and roaches) at times (especially night), there is no way to control them in my view, they have pest control done but still expect them to be around.

Grouper Therapy is conveniently located - walkable to beach, sound, restaurants/stores in Duck, and neighborhood pool. The house had a floor plan with 3 King bedrooms + 1 more that worked perfectly for our family. The kitchen was well appointed - provides everything you need if you want to cook in. We appreciated all the extras provided - high chair, beach chairs, carts, tv in every bedroom. Our family really enjoyed our week in Duck.

Even with all the rain during our beach week, we had a great time at this dog-friendly cottage. The screened-in porches made catching up with family outside bug free. Nice pool, corn hole and hammock were nice to have as well. Short walk down quiet unpaved street to beautiful beach. So many restaurants & activities nearby!

Last minute trip planned. There were 12 of us and this house was a great size with plenty of space where we did not feel like we were on top of each other. 4 teenagers the area was perfect. They were able to go on their own and explore Corolla, walking and biking. We look forward to visiting Outer Banks again.

Beautiful place, such a great view of the beach. Beach access right across the street. Loved it. Spacious area, lots of room.

Several areas on property to gather and dine, but also many areas to read quietly away from the group Plentiful kitchen supplies, very well outfitted with silverware and dinnerware Jorge answered all our questions quickly and accurately We hope to return to this area and will plan to stay again

2nd time booking with Rick in Duck. Perfect location, peaceful & quiet. Love the shower upgrade in the master bath!! His place never disappoints on the views & more important, comfort. We had a great stay!

This place is a gem! Great for a solo trip or besties get away! I totally enjoyed the peace and quiet! Very clean and I absolutely loved the fireplace and chilling in the hammock out back! Ian was always communicating with me and great suggestions for eating out! 5 star service! 🤗🙌🏽❤️

What a great location! We could walk everywhere we needed to go and we were pleasantly surprised at the size and quality of the rental, the pictures do not do it justice! We would definitely rent this property again in the future.
