The Dock
Erin and Matt’s place was wonderful. The best part is the location - it’s centrally located so you can walk to restaurants and shops nearby, and you can see the bay side from your window. The apartment is beautifully decorated and was perfect for a quick beach trip. Erin and Matt went above and beyond to make our stay special and provided amazing recommendations in town. I would highly recommend staying at any one of Erin and Matt’s properties. They are easily the best Airbnb hosts we’ve ever had.

Beach Oasis; Short Walk to Beach & Resaturants
This is a fantastic unit for a couple (or best friends!) retreat. The location is perfect - directly across the street from beach entrance, walking distance to great coffee shops, local ice cream, surf shops, brewery, food, convenience stores, and more! I liked the house was at the end of a cul-de-sac so no traffic on the street. The host is very friendly and responsive with great directions. Check in/out was hassle free. I will definitely be coming back for a long weekend getaway!

Pool | Stunning Ocean View | Balcony | MP 9
We spent this past week here for our honeymoon. Beautiful space, very clean, amazing view. Plenty of things to do in the area as well. Very clear check in and out instructions. We would definitely come back and stay again (maybe this time when it’s a little warmer and the pool is open)

Stylish Waterfront/Marina Condo
Beautiful condo. We enjoyed our stay and will be booking again in the future. Host is always responsive in a timely fashion. Becky Revere, Hartfield, Va.

No Ordinary Sunrise - Dog Friendly & Waterfront
The home was clean and instructions were very easy to follow. Since we were looking for a peaceful location on this trip, it fit the bill. The view was worth the cost. We knew there would be others around, as it was described accurately and clearly as a condo community. Supplies were very sufficient for us, and the owners were responsive. Enjoyed this trip!

Canalfront, "Mariner's Retreat"
A great place to stay if you wanna be close to the beach but far away enough to not be near the Main Street. The bathroom and bedroom are both a great size. Was also able to do a little bit of fishing in front of the Airbnb and had a great time. Will absolutely stay again.

Sound Front 2bdr Condo w/ boat slip!~Pirates Cove~
The view over the water from the deck was amazing on the non-rainy days! The place was easy to find after our first attempt (which was at night during the rain). The second bedroom was a bit small but since it was only needed for sleeping, it was ok. It was quiet and peaceful and the people we saw occasionally were very friendly. The location is great, equally spaced between downtown Manteo and Nags Head. We wish we could have spent more time there aside from the conference we were attending.

Soundside Dreaming
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.

Ritzin' It - Beach side,Hot tub,Easy beach access
Our 4 day stay was amazing. The house was exceptionally clean and welcoming. Communication was great, questions were answered almost immediately. A binder was left for us with all the instructions we needed, as well as menus for local restaurants. The beach is just a short walk away and the access can be seen from the driveway. We enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings after a lot of driving and walking. This is a great location for anyone who has kids and wants easy access to the beach, as well as being close to all of the restaurants and shops. We are already planning our next trip and hope to book again.

Ocean Front Beach House Kearney Castle
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.

Calypso's Cove - Dog Friendly, Fenced Yard
Joseph was very communicative and provided clear instructions for check-in through check-out. Quick to respond with any issues and helpful throughout the duration of stay. Would recommend to anyone!

SERENE SOUND RETREAT OBX /Sandy Beach/Dog Friendly
This was our second year at Serene Retreat. It’s just such a wonderful place for young children to enjoy the beach. The fenced in yard is great for their outdoor play. We enjoy cooking in the fabulous kitchen and feasting at the table with a view. Better than any restaurant around! Thank you again.

Canal Front Cottage - Family & Pet Friendly!
Dana and her co Host was amazing we had the best few days of vacation possible in the outer banks 100% recommend Dana’s place we will for sure be back next year and anytime we go to obx !

Scarlett Sunset
Getting to the beach was most important to us, and Matthew's place was perfect for the beach! Quick walk to the beach, and the house included all the necessary beach equipment (wagon, chairs, umbrella, sand toys, etc). It was also very clean and comfortable with a beautiful sunset view off the back deck. Highly recommend. Thanks Matthew!

Sounds Groovy OBX: Waterfront Home w/ Dock
We had a wonderful stay… the OBX is now our favorite vacations spot! Sounds Groovy was Awesome with wonderful and responsive hosts.

The Salty Shoebox OBX Oceanfront.
Wonderful views and easy access to the water. Good place with young children. (We had a toddler and a baby as part of our group.) The sitting area in the master suite was a great place to play board games and chat in the evenings without disturbing the little ones sleep. Great deck with sturdy chairs of the correct height to see the ocean over the railing. Lots of restaurants nearby and grocery stores and even a Target less than 2 miles away.

Calm Waves | Pool |Walk to beach, bars/restaraunts
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!

Oceanfront Luxury Penthouse w/Stunning Views!
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!!!

SP201N - Sea-N-Sanity
Very nice condo! Walking distance to great restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed it!

C4 Coastal Condo - Pool, Soundfront & 1 Mile Beach
This place is great! Close to everything, the pool is right across from the apartment, the beach is so close, and so many wonderful food options within minutes. The apartment was perfect and had everything we needed!

Oceanfront Condo, Heated Pool & Hot Tub, Beachside
Salty shenanigans was a light piece of heaven. Condo was exactly as described and extremely clean. Kate was wonderful providing us recommendations for a local restaurants and shopping excursions. Beach and pool just steps away (what more could you ask for!). Had an amazing time, would book again.

Oceanfront | Pool | Stunning Views | Central
Incredible location and views (of sunrises and sunsets); great for kids! There was a problem with the storm door that Katie herself came by to fix when maintenance was unavailable on a holiday weekend :) The place was clean, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the pool was great (opening weekend and very clean). The only thing to note is that this might not be a great place for you if you're sensitive to noise - there was a wedding at one of the huge houses one night under a tent and we could hear every song they played, as well as footsteps from the people staying above us. This isn't a make or break for us, and we would stay at Katie's place again in a heartbeat.

Oceanfront OBX Condo - Suite Caroline
Our stay was Perfect! We enjoyed having the everything we needed right there! They make you feel right at home! The extra things like the beach chairs & neso tent was so perfect for our days at the beach. The pool was so clean! The entire house was so clean! We enjoyed being able to watch the Dolphins right from the observation deck! 🐬

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!
