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!

I had an amazing few days at Jayme's place. Everything was exactly as described. I look forward to returning. This may sound like a cliche, but it truly is a hidden gem. The apartment is spacious and welcoming. Perfect for a small family or getaway with a few friends. I was able to visit with my family, while having my own quiet space where I could work in the day and see my kids/grandkids in the afternoons and evenings. Just steps away, you can rent a bike and go anywhere. The area is also very walkable. A wonderful restaurant is also just steps away from the property. Everything is very close, including groceries, restaurants, and things to do. And, of course, there is a very easy short stroll to the beach so no worries about looking for parking :) Jayme is super friendly and helpful. It was a treat to meet her. I don't think I have ever met a host in person. I have been fortunate to have wonderful AirBnB experiences, but this has been one of my best.

Our first time to Corolla and we lucked out by deciding to stay in the historic village at Kimberly's place: serene, peaceful with gorgeous sunsets and a 2 minute walk to the absolutely wonderful The Kind Cup coffee shop. Beach access was a 5 minute bike ride with the bikes provided with a cool little bar and taco stand on the way. Kimberly was highly responsive and the apartment was immaculate. Could not recommend more highly.

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.

This year’s stay in Kitty Hawk was an eventful one, and my hosts went above and beyond to keep me both comfortable and safe. With the arrival of the large snowfall and the frigid temperatures, they provided me an extra heater in case of need, and shoveled me a walkable path from the bungalow door to my car. For their kindness, on top of so many reasons I continue to return to the Retreat: cleanliness, comfort, space enough to work from and relax in, proximity to local amenities (food, shops, etc.), to the beach, and to walking/hiking spots, and for the peaceful surroundings, I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend their sweet place for a stay.

Great location and set up for a short beach trip. Loved how quiet the neighborhood was, but still an easy walk to the beach. The house is right on the canal and has great sunset views from the deck. And, I always appreciate renting a place with such a well stocked kitchen! They had every gadget we needed. There are lots of spiral stairs, which wasn’t an issue for us, but something to be aware of.

Beautiful Home, We caught some fish off of the dock ( red fish and catfish off mullet and shrimp ) we even had a few crabs in the pot ! LOVE the fact that the driveway is also a boat ramp ! We will bring our boat in the future ! We don’t need to bring our kayaks as the home provides a few though we didn’t use them Emily and her husband both are so sweet and responsive always answering questions quickly, we had a problem with our shower and she sent Chip right over to fix it ! So much better than dealing with Twiddy in the past ! We will definitely be visiting the home again on future stays if our dates are available !

Rainbow after rain was such a great experience!! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and it was perfect. The house felt very welcoming and homey. The canal access was a bonus my husband kayaked a few days in a row. There were additional kayaks and crab pots to have access to during the stay. We loved the area and there were recommendations and tons of things to do! One of the best stays on AirBNB we have had!

Sarah’s place, ALWAYS SONNY, had a welcoming spirit. Easy access, as described. It’s spotless, well designed and, oh, the view! The deck is amazing, as is the dock, where there is a bench to sit upon, to take it all in. The kitchen is well stocked and everything is handy. We enjoyed meals at the large dining table ~ comfortable seating for 8. The family room has very comfy furnishings. The TV is above the fireplace, and can be seen from every angle. That’s really nice for everyone. The King suite was perfectly perfect! Sleeping came easy in the comfortable beds. The linens are high quality. Would we return? That’s a BIG fat yes!

The place was perfect location. Stairs are steep but your butt will look great after. When we go there we went to go sit outside and got attacked by hornets. 7 stings in all. We informed Andy and he called an exterminator', who we were sure wouldn't show up on labor day weekend. So we bought wasp spray and handled it. We did battle them trying to resent all weekend. Just check under the chairs before you sit. He did refund me for then bus spray also. He also gave us and early check in which was wonderful. The only other thing is there's no mirrors. One huge on film going up the stairs so it's not easy to see yourself when getting dressed. No mirror in the bathroom down stairs. Just a little one in the bathroom upstairs. I would say to get a hanging one in each room. It was nice, close to down town but still secluded. Dock out back... we would probably stay again. Just be prepared for the hornets next time!!!

My family and I enjoyed our stay here. The house was immaculately clean. The beds were extremely comfortable. The surrounding views were so beautiful and relaxing. Our 2 dogs enjoyed sniffing around the yards and exploring. Dog treats, bowls, and beds were provided which was a nice touch. We spent the days exploring Edenton and Elizabeth City, and we had cozy movie nights with their smart tv. Restaurants are at least 20 minutes away which wasn’t too bad. There’s a convenience store 5 minutes up the road that also does pizza orders. We tried it one night, and it was super good! We thought this was awesome because the house was in a pretty secluded but peaceful area. Thanks for a great weekend! Definitely made memories here to last a lifetime with my family and fur babies.

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!

My husband and I loved our stay at Turtle Tides! The view was amazing, the condo was very clean, and Gene was responsive to any messages sent through out the stay. We were there during the winter and loved that we could stay inside in the warmth and still look out to a beautiful view! We even saw dolphins from the deck our last morning! We would definitely stay here again.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the property. The view of the Atlantic never disappointed with occasional dolphin activity in the distant froth. A number of restaurants just a few minutes away by foot or car. Quiet and peaceful stay in the winter months was a welcome experience. And who doesn’t like a walk on the beach right outside the door?

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!
