Vacation rentals with a patio in Albemarle Sound

5-star all the way! This review could be pages long on all the great things to say about the Sit N' Duck. Both Mary and Larry are kind, friendly, and gracious hosts. We especially liked the very short walk to the ocean, the use of the Blackstone grill, the kitchenette with coffee maker, electric skillet, and refrigerator; the fluffy towels, the outdoor sitting areas, the comfortable bed, and hospitality...great suggestions on things to do and places to eat. Mary and Larry gave us complete privacy, but were available when needed. It was fun to share a few stories as we headed out to the beach. Other great features: parking availability, beach chairs and umbrella, small cooler (we used a lot), kitchen supplies, and absolutely squeaky-clean everything! Mary has thought of all the little details to make a perfect stay. Thank you so much Mary and Larry, can't wait to come back!

Great place for the week couldn’t have found a better place loved it more then the hotels definitely

We had a great time at this place! Very accurate description and faithful to the pictures. Kitchen and bathroom in pristine conditions, clean linens and lots of gadgets to bring to the beach. Those bikes and the V shaped scooter was plus! I highly recommend it!

We had a great night at Tatyana’s place! She was accommodating, allowing early check-in and even letting us add a guest just a day before arrival. Communication was excellent and smooth throughout. The home was spotless and even better than described. It had all the listed amenities and more. The beach and pier were just a short walk or bike ride away. Parking was easy, and the neighbors we met while walking were friendly. Now, a heads-up: I still give Tatyana a 5-star review, but you may want to rent the whole house. We had the upstairs unit. The first night was perfect, but Saturday night, someone new checked in downstairs. We returned around 10 PM—my wife even took her shoes off before walking upstairs—and soon got a message to be mindful of noise. It was a buzzkill. Unfortunately, when sharing a space, you just don’t know who’ll be below or how sensitive they might be. Still, the location, host, and home were fantastic. Next time, I’d just rent the whole house for peace of mind.

Great place to stay! Easily walkable to Hatteras Village and a public beach access point. If you are wanting access to public bathrooms while enjoying the beach, I recommend doing the 5 min drive to Frisco beach. Plenty of free parking available even when we arrived later in the afternoon. The beach was quiet and not crowded at all. We would definitely come back.

We had an amazing stay. It was located in the heart of everything to do! You could walk out and walk right across to the river walk or turn left and be right in the middle of all the restraunts! Plenty of shopping and EVERYWHERE was pet friendly so our 4 legged best friend got to come with us everywhere! I would highly recommend Ellen and her properties to anyone!

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

My partner and I spent a peaceful week in this cozy spot. Very clean and well equipped for cooking and relaxing :) We especially enjoyed hanging out on the dock by the water and eating meals in the screened-in outdoor space. The surrounding neighborhood was very friendly as well. Rob was an excellent host and addressed any and all inquiries in a timely manner. Would definitely stay here again if you're looking for a quiet getaway from the hustle and bustle of the more "quintessential" obx beach towns. Not a bad drive to Duck / Kitty Hawk either.

Had a great time fishing here!! The place had a well stoked kitchen and a nice grill! There's also another fishing area nearby by car that was great too!

Me and my family loved our stay. The pool and hot tub was great and lots of fun, we didn’t expect how deep it was. The mini golf course is a good time as well. There was so much to enjoy at the house we barely had time to go to the beach. And the host and owner were extremely friendly, and helpful.

Overall, this was a great vacation spot. Hosts were great! House was great! We had a small inconvenience with three people coming the first day to service different parts of the house, but once addressed the host’s accommodated our requests well. Location is nice!

We loved our stay at Serendipity! It was the perfect place for a weekend getaway. We had tickets to see The Lost Colony in Manteo, and this place was much more reasonable than staying in Manteo. The location can’t be beat. It’s right on the water, quiet and peaceful. It was also a short drive to downtown Edenton. Georgianne made us feel right at home. We would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed a great time at Laurie's place. Everything was as described in listing. She was available on site and friendly.

We had a wonderful stay at Edgewater for a weekend. The house was beautiful and immaculately clean. The view from the deck and yard was beautiful and very peaceful with the water, gardens, and lots of wildlife to see. Alan and Nora are super friendly and so accommodating. They have truly thought of everything and have provided so many fun things for guests to enjoy! We just wish we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful, immaculate home! Very high end aesthetic, furniture, fixtures, dish-ware. The location has something to offer for all. The beach was a fairly short walk. The house came equipped with beach chairs, an umbrella, and a buggy to tote your items. I couldn’t have asked for a better environment. It’s a great house for a small group. I actually visited solo with my puppy and enjoyed having all the space.

It is a very quiet and restful place. Great for reading a book or studying. The water in back was rough and not really user friendly per se, but lovely to see. Great sunsets. Grocery store in Columbia was very nice. There are no beaches at all unless we missed them.

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!!!

Great location within steps to the beautiful Outer Banks beaches. Steve's place is comfortable, stylishly decorated, and so close to the ocean that you can fall asleep to the waves crashing upon the beach at night!

Natalie was an amazing host! Their condo was perfect for a quick get away. They had lots of good recommendations for restaurants near by! It was a great place for our family’s first experience at OBX! Definitely will look for this condo if we’re to come back to OBX!

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!!

Extremely responsive host. Great place to stay.

Wonderful stay. The place was as described. Bathrooms updated. Place was extremely clean. All mentioned amenities were available. Elevator not working due to storm previous week. Not fault of owners. 3 flights of stairs doable with wide steps. View was incredible from balcony and main bedroom. Pool clean. Beach access steps away. Close to restaurants and grocery stores. Nice to have plenty of bath towels. Laundry facilities helpful. Total cost $3 in quarters for both wash and dry. Excellent stay. Kim was extremely responsive. Looking forward to returning.

Absolutely loved my stay here. Kitchen had everything you need. Patrick was super helpful and even offered late checkout. Bed was really comfortable. Close to the golf course and the marina.
