Gone Fission OBX: Updated Family Beach Box

CrystalRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We loved the close proximity to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. We held a week long competition with pool and shiffleboard. The house was well stocked with anything we might need or might have forgotten. It will definitely be a repeat rental!

4 Min Walk 2 Beach-MP 8! Great rates!

ErikaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved our time at Wright On! The space was perfect for our family of five. The hosts were responsive and helpful. We really appreciated being able to borrow the beach gear (wagon, buckets, boogie boards) and having the beach towels on hand! It simplified our packing which was a HUGE blessing! The house is in walking distance to the beach and very close to lots of restaurants, the Wright Memorial, the movie theater, etc. We hope to book this property again in the future!!

Cooper's Suite Charity - SPCA Supporters/Donators

JamesRating, 5 stars2 days ago
Russ was a wonderful host and it was a pleasure staying at his place! The bed was comfortable, instructions and support were clean and quick. The area while drivers were crazy had some nice spots to check out and the beach wasn't far off either! If you are looking for a nice place to stay for the summer I highly recommend this Airbnb for you and your partner!

Happy Holiday Home! Pet-Friendly, Walk to Beach!

HayleyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved our stay at Lisa’s! We were traveling with my parents and our daughter. My dad is old fashioned and loves a hotel with a concierge, but Lisa was also so quick to respond, my dad was immediately put to ease and knew we were taken care of! Lisa’s home was impeccable clean, and we all found the beds very comfy! Her home has everything you need for a wonderful visit to the Outer Banks. We hope to be back!

Cozy 2 Bedroom Cottage Steps to the Sea

CarolynRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
A super quaint, cozy cottage right next to the beach and right on the main strip. Loved being able to have my dog with us! It felt very old-timey, like a house for drinking pitchers of lemonade and doing jigsaw puzzles in the summertime. We will be back!

Woodland Cabin Near the Sound; Unplug and Relax

DavidRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Longacres lived up to the online description. It is a wonderful rustic cabin in the woods. It was the perfect setting for our photography trip to Alligator River NWR but also just a short distance from the Outer Banks. The cabin was a very comfortable place to unwind and review our images after a day out touring the reserve. I particularly liked the porch bedroom - a great "outdoor" experience. Anne was great host and I hope to return sometime in the near future.

OBX Log Cabin-1 level-Canal view-Beach 1 mile-MP8

MollyRating, 5 stars7 months ago
We had a great stay at the cabin- we especially loved relaxing on the front porch and also the view of the creek from the back patio. We were a little worried since the backyard abuts an RV campground and it is also just off of a busy road but it was surprisingly very quiet. The beds are super comfortable and we found everything we needed for our stay. The central location is a short drive to many beautiful natural areas, the Wright Bros historic site, plus restaurants and stores on the main strip. The hosts are very responsive and have put a lot of love into the cabin, attentive to details that might make visitors feel welcome.

The Little Cottage (Walk to the beach!)

KristenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My mom and I scheduled a girls trip to the OBX and stayed at Penny's place. The location was excellent and easy enough to walk to the beach, especially with the buggy that is provided. The cabin is very cute with many vintage details like wide plank wood flooring and wood planks on the walls and ceilings. The wraparound deck was nice to enjoy breakfast and dinner—and you can see the ocean! We'd definitely come back.

Historic Oceanfront Cottage Tucked in the Dunes

ClaireRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
A wonderful place for my husband and I to stay! RIGHT on the beach. House was exactly as described and matched the pictures. Bobbie was extremely helpful with the check in/out process. We arrived very late at night and they had the house unlocked for us to ease the process. My family has been vacationing in Nags Head for decades and this is definitely somewhere we will be adding to our rental list! The only thing I would add is maybe some board games/cards. We had a full day of thunderstorms with not a whole lot to do. Wonderful stay!

On Cloud 9 | Pet Friendly | Fully Stocked | MP7

DonnaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Katie’s house was just as described. Very clean and very well stocked. The neighborhood was quiet and within walking distance of the sound with nice walking paths. It’s centrally located on the island which makes it easy to travel wherever you want to go. The house has a wonderful front porch to relax on as well as a side deck and fire pit and swing in the back yard. The back yard is fenced in for your fur babies and the porch and deck have gates. It’s a very relaxing place for you and your doggies. Would most definitely book again!

Had a great time at the Sea Captains Cottage #4! Will definitely keep it in mind for our return trips to the Outer Banks. It was clean, in a great location, and exactly what we needed for an anniversary getaway.

Endless Oceanfront Days and Nights at Perriwinkle

EmmaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We absolutely loved our stay at Periwinkle! The home was exactly as described in the listing. It was beautiful, clean, and we felt right at home. The location felt very private, yet close to lots of great restaurants and shops. We tried a few of the restaurants Jim and Tia recommended and we loved them all. We spent lots of time on the beach which was just a few steps off the deck. We also loved hearing the ocean from the living room. Jim and Tia were wonderful hosts. They provided several amenities (beach chairs, umbrellas, extra beach towels, coffee bar, etc) and small touches that made our stay even better. We hope to return very soon!

Your guide to Kill Devil Hills

All About Kill Devil Hills

The small coastal community of Kill Devil Hills is a gateway to North Carolina’s Outer Banks region and all it has to offer. In addition to the miles of dune-studded beaches along the Atlantic Coast, the town boasts a handful of outstanding parks known for their hiking and wildlife spotting. On the outskirts of town, the shoreline is dotted with brightly colored pastel homes, providing a picturesque backdrop for the swimming, surfing, and fishing the area has to offer.

In the center of Kill Devil Hills, you’ll find memorials and museums commemorating the historical achievements of the region; most notably, this is where humans first achieved powered flight. In addition to the bars and cafes hosting live musical performances, several markets and restaurants in town highlight fresh seafood from the surrounding waters. Yellowfin tuna, striped bass and sea trout are popular catches and menu items here.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Kill Devil Hills

Seasonal temperature changes can be fairly drastic between the summer and winter months in Kill Devil Hills. However, humidity, wind, and precipitation stay relatively consistent, with only minor variations throughout the year. From May to September, the weather is warm, a great time to look for rentals in Kill Devil Hills, when the temperature is conducive to swimming, hiking, and generally enjoying nature.

Several events occur during this time, like the Fourth of July Fireworks Show, best enjoyed on the beach. There is also the National Aviation Day Celebration at the Wright Brothers National Memorial in August, where the history of aviation is celebrated along with Orville Wright’s birthday. From October to March, temperatures plunge to levels that are too cold for enjoying ocean activities. However, the brisk temperatures are pleasant for hiking in the surrounding parks and reserves.

Outer Banks Arboretum & Teaching Garden

There’s no better place to learn about the ecologies of coastal North Carolina than at the Outer Banks Arboretum & Teaching Garden. You’ll find sensory gardens, a butterfly highway, and a composting demonstration area in the beautifully manicured grounds landscaped with native plants. Take one of the several accessible walking trails throughout the complex to guide you on your exploration.

Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve

This nature reserve north of town is home to several rare habitats and ecological communities, including maritime swamp forests, freshwater wetlands, and deciduous forests. The reserve is also a hotspot for local wildlife, including leopard frogs, snapping turtles, marsh rabbits, and bobcats. Several trailheads provide access to the park, and an interlacing series of waterways allows you to explore the reserve by kayak.

Wright Brothers National Memorial

This memorial is a site dedicated to the first instance of powered flight in history. In 1903, the Wright brothers made their historic flight at the very spot where this memorial now sits. The visitor center and museum grounds have several exhibits that include a reconstruction of the brothers’ hangar and workshop, a replica of their plane, and a towering 60-foot granite monument to the occasion.
