Jockey Ridge State Park + Sound Beach + Hot Tub
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!

Better at the Bay
We loved our stay at Karen’s place. The apartment is very comfortable, and the views are spectacular. I wish we had more time to enjoy the offerings. We hope to come back again!

The Dock
We had an amazing stay at this cozy Airbnb overlooking the Currituck Sound! The location near the heart of Duck is hard to beat, with easy access to fantastic shops, restaurants, and local coffee shops. The views over the sound are stunning, and the peaceful setting made it a truly relaxing getaway for this time of year. Our host was incredibly helpful and responsive, ensuring we were set for a smooth check-in. 10/10 would recommend!

Apartment Rental off of Pungo Creek, Free Boat Ramp Included.
Crystal was a great host! Very clear instructions and helpful. Highly recommend.

Creek Side Apartment Kayaks included
This was a great location, close to the town of Edenton. A really nice walking path around the water, also! I would stay there again.

Outer Banks Luxurious & Secluded Beach Getaway #1
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!!

The Coastal Studio
Landing here made the drive through Nags Head and Kitty Hawk so worthwhile! Waking up from a very comfortable sleep to this amazing view every morning is indescribable:). The loft had everything we needed for our 3 nights there and the location was perfect. Several places are seasonal, so do your homework, but we had no problem finding a good meal:). Plan ahead also if you want to see the horses.

Stylish Waterfront/Marina Condo
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.

WaterWinds Waterfront pvt house/dock pet friendly!
We enjoyed a peaceful stay after long days on bikes. We were in town for the NC Coastal ride. After riding for 30+ miles each day we came back to a tranquil location. The home is immaculate. Every item one would ever need was provided. It was perfect to have a full size fridge for our supplies. Beth even left firewood in case we wanted to enjoy the fire pit. We were able to stretch and get in a yoga session on the dock. Yoga mats were provided. The home feels like a ship in that it is surrounded by water. The waves and fresh air made for incredible sleep each night. An osprey nest is outside the window. With the binoculars we were able to watch the progress of the nest and the amazing pair catch fish. The communication throughout the stay was spot on. The “billion dollar” view is remarkable, but the amenities and care from the homeowner make this is top notch vacation spot.

Waterfront Mansion - Pool, Dock, game room, kayaks
This place was perfect for my families little get away. private away from neighbors. had great property grounds for the kids and dog to play. the surrounding nature was awesome to wake up to. Lorraine was really proactive at getting me ready for the stay and replied to any questions quickly. we arrived earlier than the check in time and had no issues. long story short it's a great place with an awesome host. highly recommend! she even opened the pool to us ahead of time!

"Pleasant Sounds" on the Albemarle Sound
We had a wonderful stay in Edenton on the sound. The hosts are responsive, welcoming and have done a magnificent job of creating a space with just enough to make it comfortable, no clutter or excess that impede the full usage of the space. We hope to get the chance to stay here again!

Canal Front Cottage - Family & Pet Friendly!
I had a wonderful stay! Dana was a fantastic host, and Kim, the co-host, made sure everything was seamless from start to finish. The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and stocked with an ample amount of supplies that made the getaway even more comfortable and easy. Every detail was thoughtfully prepared, which made settling in effortless. Communication was clear and prompt, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. I would definitely love to stay here again. Thank you, Dana and Kim, for making everything so perfect!

The Yellow House. Waterfront, kayaks!
Our family had a great weekend at the yellow house. This place feels like how AirBnb used to be. Laid back, comfortable, and with little amenities that show they know what it’s like to travel. My son kept saying he wants to come back every year. The location was close the places we were interested in going to while feeling secluded and peaceful. We had a nice evening doing a fire and trying to fish in the back (caught and released one crab). The beds were comfortable, the tv worked, the kitchen was stocked, we had access to do laundry. Overall, we would return and recommend.

Waterfront-Swim/Boat/Fish/Kayak, TIKI BAR w/Swings
Our family enjoyed a thanksgiving at Jennifer’s place! We had a wonderful time. A wishlist/bucketlist for me!! We were so convenient to ocean front access, shopping, and all the things. Sunsets were amazing and close! We walked some days and we drove some to sound side beach. Amazing!! We visited the Elizathan Gardens for a wonderful Christmas display and visit with Santa! We left thankful and blessed 🙏🏻

A Different Frame of Mind - Outer Banks A-frame
Beautiful place. JoAnne answered our questions and even followed up to make sure all was well. Big Beautiful dining area. Wonderful backyard for the kids to play. Just beautiful. Thanks so much for allowing us to use your home for our family to make memories.

Sportsman's Paradise ( Hunting & Fishing )
Outdoorsman’s paradise is what this place is. Absolutely beautiful and the location is very private. Direct access to Tulls bay and the northwest river. We loved every second and plan to book this again.

The Calm Waves| Walk to beach, bars, restaurants
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.

WB360 - Sunrises to Sunsets
Obsessed! How neat to be above the Kitty Hawk Kite shop! A beautiful spot with the most beautiful views!

Turtle Tides - Oceanfront Penthouse Retreat
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.

Ocean & Bay Views - Local Family Owned & Operated
We had a great weekend at Crystal’s place. The condo was clean, the furniture comfortable and it had everything we needed for a weekend stay-our family especially enjoyed the selection of games. The location was perfect and the beach just beautiful!

Atlantic Sunrise | Pool | Stellar Ocean View | MP9
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

Sunburst Ocean View Condo @ Nags Head Beach
I really appreciated the communication I had with Dave as we definitely walked to the local grill next-door and had an amazing dinner! I thought it was a great location, could see the ocean and sunrises and public access to the beach was just a short walk! It was great. Thanks Dave!

Island View - Waterfront Condo! Fully Updated!
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!
