The Dock

LeelaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The space was lovely and very clean. The view out the window over the sound was excellent, and we could go downstairs for great sunsets on the dock. We enjoyed walking distance to everything - beach, shops, restaurants. Erin was very responsive and flexible to our needs.

Ocean Front Beach House Kearney Castle

JohnRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a great three night stay, my three adult children and I. The beach was surprisingly almost ours to ourselves. For an older traditional OBX house, it was well updated and very well appointed. The central floor plan is very open. I love it when you can be in the kitchen cooking while talking to everybody in the living area and those around the dinner table at the same time. Awesome view of the ocean off the back deck. We sat in the hot tub and still see the ocean. Im sometimes leary of hot tubs at the beach, a lot of times they are not well maintained. Danielle's was spotless and the water chemistry was perfect and safe. There was absolutely nothing we needed or any place where we needed to go that was not within a 5-minute drive. All of my family are fisherman. if you like to fish, there's not a better place to stay. getting from the house to the beach to surf fish takes less than a minute. we walked up to the OBX Pier several times to fish, probably less than a 5 minute walk.

Ocean view, near beach! Large pool/new hot tub

AshleyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Perfect spot for a family vacation in the OBX! We loved the location (very short walk to the beach, several great restaurants), lots of space to spread out and games/cards/puzzles in the house, and the pool/spa were amazing! There are tons of pool toys and floats, and beach gear too! Great view of the ocean from the upstairs balcony. There is also new furniture in the upstairs living room that the pictures don’t show which was an added bonus! We will be back!

A Stones Throw

KristinRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We loved our time at A Stones Throw - perfect location across from a beautiful beach access, we loved all the outdoor decks and porches, comfortable furniture on each level, and beds were comfy. Huge table in living space for family dinner and games. We enjoyed the pool one day and the hot tub and also roasted marshmallows at the fire pit. It was a a really nice visit.

Historic Beach Cottage 700ft to ocean #singlestory

TrishaRating, 5 stars5 days ago
This is a beautiful place and it's incredibly thoughtfully done! The screened porch is a DREAM. The house is full of thoughtful details, including plenty of beach towels, beach supplies, and pet-friendly items. We had no problem cooking at home with the fully stocked kitchen. It takes less than 5 minutes to walk to the beach, with the public access path almost across the street. I'd absolutely return!

Luxury: Oceanside with Pool & Views

ShannonRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Brittany was an excellent host who responded as soon as possible to any inquires or requests for accommodations. The house was perfect and absolutely stunning. With having a two year old with my family, there were toys there ready to play which made it even better! The view was spectacular and the hot tub was equally amazing. We had some car trouble during when packing our car during check out which made us late for check out time unfortunately and she was very friendly and understanding. The walk to the beach was easy and quick. No complaints at all! Definitely can’t wait to stay again (when the two year old isn’t teething and going through sleep regression lol). 10/10 highly recommend!

Brand-New Luxury Condo, Steps to the Beach

MariamRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was hands down the best Airbnb experiences we’ve ever had. The home was spotlessly clean—truly immaculate from top to bottom—and it was immediately clear that the host had thoughtfully anticipated every possible need before we even realized we had them. We were wow’ed the moment we walked in. Every detail, from the kitchen which had all the essential appliances, cookware, and dishes we needed to prepare meals comfortably, to the cozy extras, made it feel like a high-end retreat. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom had beautiful, upgraded features that gave it a luxurious feel. Location-wise, it couldn’t have been better—a short, easy walk to the beach and a heated pool that looks like you’re at a resort. We felt right at home and totally relaxed. If you’re looking for a stay that’s clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully curated down to the last detail, this is it. We’ll absolutely be back! And actually, I can’t wait to come back!

Jordan's Retreat

AmandaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a great stay in Merry Hill. Kate was very responsive and helpful. Jordan's Retreat was definitely a retreat for our family. The house was very clean and we had everything we needed, with some nice extra touches. Indoors and out, there are many places to rest and relax. The river is lovely and we enjoyed taking the kayaks out. It was so peaceful. The location is good and the drive to the Outer Banks is easy and makes a nice day trip. Nearby Edenton is a beautiful town with cute shops and nice coffee shops & restaurants.

Semi-Oceanfront | King Bed | Central Location (A2)

KatieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Tara’s place worked perfectly for our family (two adults, two young kids) and honestly restored my faith in AirBnBs. You can tell she really puts effort into making it an awesome place. It was kid friendly - spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated without being fussy. The appliances are all brand new, the bed and linens are super comfortable, there’s great water pressure in the shower, the kitchen is well stocked, and the washer/dryer was so helpful. It’s super centrally located with a ton to do in the area, and it’s easily walkable to the beach. (Though there’s no real ocean view, if that’s your thing.) It was our first time in the Outer Banks and we’d probably choose a quieter town in the future but if we were to come back to KDH rebooking here would be top of our list.

We were visiting to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and Ashley was super accommodating to help me celebrate it!! I mailed a few decorations ahead of time to surprise him and Ashley hung them up before we got there. I would have loved to be able to stay longer, the location was perfect and the beach was quiet. 10/10 ⭐️
