Family-friendly home rentals with a hot tub

Best Location in Duck!
This house was perfect for our family and really close to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and then some. Most of all we loved how close it was to the beach!

Barefoot Bungalow
Great location and wonderful yard for a pet owner. Felt very secure and the hot tub and fire pit perfect touches to enjoy time outside. The bedrooms were comfy and private. We loved being able to walk to the beach and restaurants. Definitely would stay here again

Beautiful Beach House in the Perfect Location
Amazing place to stay in OBX! Highly recommend! Beautiful home with lovely decor. Clean home and grounds. Private and so peaceful. Pool so refreshing, hot tub a great bonus. Beds are really comfortable, lots of extra pillows too. kitchen fully stocked with whatever you could need to cook or make drinks (appliances and dishware, etc.) Garage full of nice extras of bicycles, kayaks, life vests and beach fun playing in the sand for the little ones. outdoor shower to get the sand off too. Some nice restaurants, convenience stores all very close by. 15 mins to Hatteras, 40 mins to Nags Head. Connie is a wonderful host, clear instructions, very helpful and gracious. I highly recommend, we stayed for our annual family vacay, everyone loved it, house so nice. Connie is a star! We can't say enough good things about her home, just go and see for yourself!

OBX Beach House *Heated Pool&Hot Tub* in Duck
We love staying at Donald’s Duck! This was our second stay and we think this place is just so cute and cozy. Our favorite place is the beautifully lit pool area. It’s a short walk to the beach. The indoor space is beautiful and clean. Mark is a very responsive and helpful host! We love the proximity to the shops and restaurants.

Moondance - 2nd Row, Pool, Hot Tub, Fenced Yard
Great location, perfect walk to the beach, almost like oceanfront. Great hang out space and kitchen. Lots of extra blankets, fan for the white noise people. Great outdoor shower and basketball hoop. Walk to the beach was quick and not too challenging. Clean pool and hot tub!!! Would definitely come back!!!

Duck Cottage w/ pool , big porches and 5 min walk
The place was perfect for us. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood. It’s about ~2 miles from the shops of Duck. The beach is less than five minutes walk—our dog loved it. We had a great time! The hosts were very responsive and check in and check out were a breeze.

Peace, Love, and Sunshine
Great house with a huge fenced in backyard. Close to the beaches and nature preserve. Amanda was great.

7BR/Pool/PickleBall/Pirates/Gym/Golf/DolphinInnOBX
Jorge was an excellent host - very proactive and responsive, and just a pleasure to meet and speak with. We thoroughly enjoyed his beach home, and we are very happy it was available to us.

Dog Friendly - Between the Highways
The place was great and so was Terra! Our only regret was my bf got hurt on the beach running so we had to cut our trip short. VERY easy walk to the beach from the house no drive necessary. Great if you’re a beach bum like we are 🤗

3 mins to beach, walk to Jockey's Ridge sunsets!
The house is located in a quiet, safe neighborhood that made us feel right at home. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. The furnishings were comfortable and inviting—perfect for relaxing after a day out. The location offered quick and easy access to shops, restaurants, the beach, and most of the local attractions. Highly recommend!

BEACH BARN mp 10.5 including YMCA privileges!
Perfect location with a short walk to the beach! Also very close to restaurants and sights to see. Alison was very easy to work with and had all the amenities for the perfect beach trip. We were happy to call her place home for a few days!
Family-friendly home rentals with a pool

Grouper Therapy
Grouper Therapy is conveniently located - walkable to beach, sound, restaurants/stores in Duck, and neighborhood pool. The house had a floor plan with 3 King bedrooms + 1 more that worked perfectly for our family. The kitchen was well appointed - provides everything you need if you want to cook in. We appreciated all the extras provided - high chair, beach chairs, carts, tv in every bedroom. Our family really enjoyed our week in Duck.

Heated pool! Close to the Beach, Large Yard
This is our second time staying here with our three young children and it was just as great as the first. The house is well equipped with everything you would need and more, including kitchen accessories, beach chairs and toys, pool toys, books, and games. We love the neighborhood and proximity to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. We would definitely recommend this home to anyone searching.

Cabana #2, 84 Sunset Dr, Ocracoke NC
This is the second time that I have stayed at Donna‘s place and again it did not disappoint. Donna is a great host, and is very responsive. The grounds and the pool are beautiful and the quality of the rental is top-notch. I will be back again

Cottage 271- Direct Oceanfront- Beautiful Views
My family and I vacationed down in the Outer Banks again for my son’s spring break and we really enjoyed our stay at Olga’s place! The location can’t be beat - literally right on the beach with a view of the ocean to die for. We enjoyed waking up early every morning to catch the sunrise on the horizon, the seabirds gliding along the shore, and occasionally the dolphins coming up briefly for a breath of fresh air. We always love the local restaurants like Mama Kwan’s and Food Dudes and we tried a couple of new ones as well that were delicious! We can’t wait for our next Outer Banks vacation- always a relaxing and enjoyable time!

6br, 6bth, short walk 2 everything beach, shopping
George was a wonderful host and the house is in a great location.

Perfect Outer Banks lakefront Vacation Home w/pool
This place was amazing! Spacious, comfortable beds, beautiful location, grocery store, shops and restaurants nearby. The layout of the house was perfect for my adult children and their families to have privacy but allowed us to spend quality time together. There are plenty of games and puzzles for all age groups. Definitely want to go back next year!

Scarborough Lane Hideaway - Beach, Pool, Bikes!
The place was exactly what we were looking for. We were in town for the Jazz Fest which was across the street, so it was perfect. The beach was a little bit of a walk, but wasn't the primary reason for our visit so it was fine. The place is really cute and comfortable.

Seashells, Hammocks & Vinyl—Your OBX Escape!
Beautiful home, super clean, comfortable beds, plenty of extras like soap, garbage bags, laundry detergent, dishwasher soap, towels, cookware, seasonings ect. Kati was an awesome host and was very attentive and responsive. The pool was fabulous and we spent a lot of time there. We wish check out was a little later and suggest doing extras as if it were your own such as throw in some towels, make sure the beds and pillowcases are stripped, take out the trash, run the dishwasher and just leave it as much as you can as it was when you arrived. We loved this place and will certainly use Kati again. She is a super host for sure!! Thank you Kati!
