Windy Oaks guest suite.
Have no fear staying here! Bonnie’s place is amazing and a wonderful location. It was easy to find and so comfortable. It’s perfect for a couple’s getaway to the Outer Banks. Bonnie was so friendly and available for any questions we had. Very very clean place with a comfortable bed!

Scenic Escape w/ Dock: 1 Mi to Ocracoke Lighthouse
Perfect for two of us plus our dog. The deck is lovely with new furniture and the view can’t be beat. Easy bike or golf cart ride to the Village and the owners are friendly and responsive.

Waterfront Getaway w/ Dock & Views in Ocracoke!
Enjoyed a quiet and relaxing few days in Ocracoke. House is split with second flooring being a 2 bedroom, 1 bath with a little efficiency kitchen. It worked well for my family for a few days. On a canal. Very peaceful and serene. Easy to get around island. Had a little hiccup checking in but host was responsive and nice. We would stay again.

Lovely studio in Buxton, NC
The studio was very cozy!! Had a personal A/C unit so the temperature was great. We had a very friendly welcoming, the studio is stocked with all appliances you will need (kitchen utensils, towels, etc..) I would love to stay in there unit again everything was perfect.

Waterfront studio with sound views!
We enjoyed our stay at Nikki’s apartment very much. The space is very clean, inviting and had all the amenities listed on the description. The photos are accurate and reflect the second floor apartment well. We like to cook a few meals while traveling and found all the pots, pans and utensils we needed in the kitchen. New appliances are also available. It is located in a peaceful, quiet and safe neighborhood. Nikki and her husband were friendly and available if needed. Would definitely consider returning again.

Rooms with Views
Fantastic views, cozy, great bed… lots of positives to say about this gem! The owners were very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Fantastic back porch overlooking the Pamlico Sound. Very quick drive to Hatteras and Buxton, where there are plenty of fantastic restaurants. And a huge hot tub!

Direct Ocean Front View. August weeks available.
This stay was wonderful. The place was very comfortable, clean, and exactly as described. It’s located in a quiet, peaceful area that’s not busy at all—perfect for a relaxing getaway. We loved how private it felt, with no noise or crowds nearby. The best part was the million dollar, unobstructed view of the ocean—absolutely breathtaking and worth every penny. Nancy was very responsive, making check-in and communication seamless. We would definitely stay here again!

Waterfront, Immaculate, Private Room, Pier, #1
We had an amazing stay. The area is laid back and had all the amenities you could need. The room was very clean and exactly as advertised. The hosts were very friendly and the guide for the area they made helped us to make the most of our trip.

Direct Beach Access with Modern Beachy Vibes
Absolutely loved our stay at Hygge by the Sea. The location of the house was just a walk away from shops and food. Beach front access from the house was a plus and it was already stocked with beach chairs for us to use. House itself is very comfortable and clean. Great for a family with kids. The host is very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely be staying here again in the future!

Blue Moon - LUX Oceanfront Pool, Hot Tub, Theater!
Amazing house, great location and everything that was promised. The house was easy to access and Josh was very responsive to any questions we had. The house was beautiful and clean. The outdoor area and pool were great for relaxing and enjoying the weather. Quick walk to the beach. Would love to stay here again next year. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The house was spotless and perfectly maintained. Everything was just as promised in the listing.

Waterfront Oasis direct Sound access, private dock
The house and location were a great fit for our family and what we want when we come to Avon. We especially enjoyed easy sound access. Michelle was excellent with communication. Love the balcony with sound view every morning with coffee and a book.

Hole in the Wall- Sound Side with Hot Tub!
Janelle and Adrian are absolutely wonderful hosts. Their home is beautiful and perfect. In every way the second you walk in you feel like you are on vacation and you don’t wanna leave. We actually extended our stay because the house was so beautiful and the location of the home was so perfect that we Just needed that one more night before we were ready to say goodbye. They are so quick to respond if you have a problem with anything and they immediately fix it for you I will never use any other Airbnb again when traveling to that area.

Nautical Edge (Hot Tub) Pets Allowed
Mark and Paul's place is beautiful. it is unfortunate that one of the properties across the road is in rough shape, but all other nearby properties are in excellent condition. The yard overlooking the canal is gorgeous. Do note that as with most properties in OBX, a flight of stairs is necessary to enter the house. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need and the bedrooms are extremely comfortable. Everything was spotless. We, unfortunately had rain, much of the time we were there, but did enjoy the exploring we could do. Absolutely recommend Sunrise Seafood, the fresh shrimp, crab cakes and swordfish were fabulous! Froggy Dog, ok, but not spectacular. We did enjoy Oceanas Bistro...especially the fresh tuna griller! Mark and Paul are not new to Air BNB and their attention to detail shows.

New 2 Bedroom w 5 Beds | Walk to Beach/Pool/Tennis
The place was as described, a short walk to the beach and across the street from real watersports. The small grocery on the block was unexpectedly excellent.

Sunset Cottage on the Pamlico Sound.
This place were everything we hoped for and more. The house was very clean, well decorated, and well supplied with all cooking utensils and anything else you might need. It even had a good selection of spices and seasonings to use for cooking. The space under the house was a great hangout area for kids and adults alike. The view of the sound was amazing and the dock was great. The kayaks and paddle board were a very cool plus. Overall a five star experience and and we hope to come back next year!

FAIR WINDS of Rodanthe-Walk to Pier+Dogs Welcome!
Gia was an excellent host and her place was everything we hoped for and more. Some of the most beautiful ocean views in the area and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. We’ve already recommended her to some of our closest friends…and now to you also!

Isla Cay- 2 bedroom soundfront condo
Nice, clean condo with great location on the sound with beautiful sunset views! Very friendly and responsive owners! Hope to stay here many more times.

Comfortable 2BR Soundview 2nd-Floor | Patio
Stayed for our first trip to the OBX. Unit exceeded our expectations from the photos. The two bedroom suites are on opposite sides of the unit which our two boys (10 & 17) loved. Very clean and comfortable. Felt like a home away from home. Kitchen was very well equipped. Beds were super comfortable! Only slight critique was a clump of hair in the drain in the king bathroom tub and the shower curtain looked moldy all along the bottom. For our active family there wasn’t too much for us to do in the immediate area other than water sports, which they tired of quickly. So we spent quite a bit of time driving to other towns. But, that was partly our fault for not doing enough research. If you’re looking for fishing, kite boarding, or just a quiet escape, this place definitely fits the bill!

Starlights 2 - Oceanfront! 2BR
A big thank you to Matthew! The best part of my vacation was spent right here taking in the beautiful views, letting the ocean wash my worries away and getting some much need relaxation.

1BR Oceanfront | Balcony | Pool | Hot Tub
I only have positive feedback on this unit and the great customer service we received from the Vacasa team from booking to checkout. This unit is easy access, in a good location, has a great view, and was very clean and well maintained. Just the right size for a couple or small family . The complex, pool, hot tub and the boardwalk to the beach were all well kept and maintained. We highly recommend this unit and Vacasa to anyone looking to visit the area.

Perfect location with great views and water access
Very communicative, bare bones, just as advertised. The home was pristinely clean. The views were beautiful, gorgeous sound views from the balcony. The beach is just a short walk away and the pier is a 5 minute drive. Perfect location in Avon & Mike is super friendly! Be mindful that you will have to bring bath towels, but other necessities were supplied by the cleaners and lasted us through a full week. This was transparently advertised though. The living room is not quite as comfortable as we would’ve liked, but that’s just our preference. The rest of the house was very comfortable and we were pleased with the furnishing. The space is clearly well taken care of. Avon overall is a wonderful place to visit. The locals were probably the most friendly we’ve experienced in the OBX. The area is very remote and you can see the stars and even have a bonfire on the beach. Plenty of free parking and easy public beach access. Really good restaurants too. Highly recommend and we’ll be back!

2BR Soundview 2nd-Floor | Deck | Pool
Great location! Very peaceful on the sound side of Hatteras. Wildlife was wonderful! Very comfortable and back deck was relaxing!

Tressa Terrace 2BR beachfront, views, pool access
This is a fantastic condo with everything you need to be cozy and comfortable for a week… we adored the view! It was quiet and clean… top notch stay!!

3-Bedroom, 2.5-Bathroom Suite at REAL Watersports
Spotless, comfortable with the best hosts. Kitchen had everything we needed and bathrooms had lots of towels and the property was perfectly located in Rodanthe. I cannot say enough about our stay there and we cannot wait to come back! Extra thank you for finding our sons wallet and calling to let us know even before we knew it was missing.
