Vacation rentals with lake access in Outer Banks

The place was clean and set up perfectly. A little deck overlooking the bay. A dock to sit on and enjoy the sunsets, osprey nest with chicks right to the right of us. Rode our bikes into Duck every morning for a wonderful nature walk & stop into stores. The bedrooms were comfortable with closets and dressers for everyone’s stuff. We loved it!

We had an amazing stay and felt right at home! It was exactly as described. Both the sound and ocean were in walking distance. We even had a few stores we could walk to. We would definitely come again!

Frank and Martha are very responsive and easy to work with. The house is so relaxing you don't want to leave!

Absolutely loved the home and the whole experience! Our only issue was in our arrival and not being aware that high tide would impact when you should attempt getting to the house. More information regarding the tide schedule and if the roads within the houses are accessible would be very helpful. Recommendation to stop at the grocery store before you each the beach access road and what types of things are not supplied at the house would be good, too. Overall we were so very pleased with our stay and Misty was great when we needed her. I would absolutely recommend this house to my friends and family and would love to visit again!

We had a great time at Sushma’s house. The kitchen was well stocked with spices and extras like dishwasher pods and trash bags. We also appreciated the availability of sand toys, boogie boards, beach umbrellas, pool floats and beach chairs. There were numerous decks to enjoy the sound side views. The house was spacious and very comfy. We split our time between the ocean, the pool, the sound side and even took the ferry to Ocracoke. Sushma was very responsive and a great host. We have rented from outer beaches realty in the past and this was a far superior experience.

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!

Great house, would love to stay again!

Our family had a great weekend at the yellow house. This place feels like how AirBnb used to be. Laid back, comfortable, and with little amenities that show they know what it’s like to travel. My son kept saying he wants to come back every year. The location was close the places we were interested in going to while feeling secluded and peaceful. We had a nice evening doing a fire and trying to fish in the back (caught and released one crab). The beds were comfortable, the tv worked, the kitchen was stocked, we had access to do laundry. Overall, we would return and recommend.

We loved our stay at Karen’s place. The apartment is very comfortable, and the views are spectacular. I wish we had more time to enjoy the offerings. We hope to come back again!

We will def be back! Lori was quick to respond and extremely helpful. Her place was clean and cozy and in the perfect location to everything! We loved her place!

Very nice !! Cozy , private lake front rental !! Highly recommended ! Great host ! Communicated well !! Five stars !!!

This was such the perfect place for a weekend getaway! Super close to the beach and the sound and the bikes were a great additional!

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.

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!

My wife and I stayed in this waterfront property for a Memorial Weekend getaway and it was everything we hoped for. The house was clean and Alice was a wonderful host, giving insight about local restaurants and answering any questions we had.

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.

A Superb Cottage in the Heart of Ocracoke. We just spent 10 nights in Grey Pearl and loved it! The cottage was very comfortable for just my wife and me, but would easily accomodate up to 6 people (with the sofa bed) with 2 comfortable bedrooms, one roomy modern bath, a large living, dining and kitchen area and a spacious rear screened-in porch. The cottage has all the amenities you may need, including wi-fi, washer/dryer, A/C, and a fully equipped kitchen wi. It has a fabulous outdoor shower, and the perfect rear porch for reading, enjoying morning coffee and evening cocktails. It’s conveniently located in a very quiet neighborhood on a back road, about a 10 minute walk from Ocracoke Coffee, the Flying Melon restaurant, the Back Porch, Dajio, and other eating places and shops. Zillies is just around the corner. Jennifer is a wonderful, helpful host, communicating and answering any questions we had. We will be back. We highly recommend Grey Pearl !

I had the pleasure of staying at Amy's place for a long weekend. Both her home and her spirit of customer service were exceptional. Shortly after making the reservation I had an issue with it (my fault). I reached out to Amy and she quickly helped me work it out in everyone's favor. Thank you Amy! Her home is very well situated, and the view from her backyard is incredible; it could be a special events location. Just incredible. But we were also able to get out and check out the many restaurants and beaches in the area. Amy reached out to us to check in several times, and proactively contacted us with restaurant recommendations, one of which we went to and had a great time. Would definitely head back.

Stayed here for Memprial Weekend. Wasn't sure on how busy it would be, but turned out great. This house is literally just a quick minute walk to a private beach. Made watching the sunrise so easy to do. The house feels spread out, which is perfect for multiple families. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities. The AC cools the entire house, much needed on hot days. The beds were also super comfortable. Hot tub was such a nice way to end the day. James was super quick on answering any questions that popped up during my stay. This entire community is really nice with lots of places to walk the dog. Was hard to leave, can't wait to come back

Another fantastic Spring Break at the Best Box! The nicest, cleanest, most relaxing rental we’ve ever found. Didn’t think the property could be any better than it was last year, but the owners have managed to make many creative and thoughtful upgrades. Enjoyed days at the beach, days on the sound, chartered a boat for fishing, ate tons of seafood, and saw the best sunsets right from the deck. Literally took advantage of everything in this house - from crabbing to fishing to baggo to flying kites to playing board games to darts and foosball. Oh and kayaking, relaxing in the hammock, and tubing, too.

Very close to beach access making walking or biking easy without the need of an automobile. The turtle pond did not disappoint. Turtles everywhere and entertaining. The porch and furniture made for a perfect morning cup of (provided) coffee. Everything vacationers could ask for conveniently located within 10 minutes of the homes location. Deborah is an excellent host, responsive, helpful, and provided suggestions of places to eat and visit in the immediate area.

Loved my stay !!! Beds were super comfy! And the house was super nice with a 10 min walk to the beach !

Tanya's place was in a beautiful, quiet setting. We really enjoyed viewing the wildlife and kayaking. The house itself is spotless, comfy and plenty spacious. Her place had everything you could possibly need from pantry staples, beach towels, sunscreen, dental floss, etc. We were quite impressed with her thoughtfulness and attention to detail. By far the best Airbnb we've stayed at. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Loved this place ♥️

This place was perfect for our family when we stayed. The room upstairs was adorable and worked out fantastic for my 2 younger boys, there was a pullout bed in the couch for when they wanted to sleep downstairs. The entire place was cute and clean, the area is quiet and calm with a beautiful view of the sound. I would recommend this place if you're looking to unwind and relax.
