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!

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!!!

Gray Pearl
The house was very clean and ready for guests when we arrived. It was also in a great area and very close to the beach. The host was very quick to respond to every message and gave very good recommendations for things to do and places to go. 10/10 would go again.

Casa Playa OBX *HOT TUB*
We had the best time here, its exactly like the pictures and the host goes above and beyond with recommendations/ items provided and cleanliness!

Oceanfront Home Hatteras Island
The house is incredible. The decor is amazing. Everyday someone would notice a something else they never saw before. There is a very short walk to beach. You have great views of the sunrise over the ocean from the hot tub or either deck. We saw Manny shooting stars during our stay. Cindy is a very helpful and caring host. She gave us updates on beach conditions and an outlook for our drive home. Overall one of our best Airbnb experiences. We will definitely be staying again.

Spotless Treehouse | Pool | HotTub | Pickle | Pets
The “treehouse” was homey and well stocked with anything that you need for an easy beach vacation! Plenty of bikes, beach chairs, coolers, towels, etc. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to make family meals. The Hosts were super responsive and flexible. We had a big storm and they had people coming to fix things as soon as we woke up. Didn’t even need to tell them we lost WiFi - the guy was just there to repair it. Can’t say enough how great it was to be able to workout in the gym when it was so hot outside running would have been impossible.

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.

Dog Friendly - Between the Highways
House was just as expected, great location too! Target and Wawa are right down the street for convenience. The fenced in backyard was great for our dogs and the outdoor shower was awesome for showering at the beach. We actually used that the whole stay! We will definitely check this spot’s availability the next time we decide to take a trip.

Four Winds #1-pets,sleeps5,fooseballcoffeetable
I had a very enjoyable stay. The cottage was spotless, very clean, beds were comfortable, it was exactly how it is depicted and described. I needed a place to decompress after my dad’s funeral and this was just the place. I traveled with my German Shepherd and we were able to take long walks on the beach right across the street. The host was very responsive to any questions I had and communicated when the place was ready early. Would totally recommend.

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!
We had a wonderful stay at Alison’s place! It was perfect for our group—which included my spouse, our family dog, and my grandmother-in-law. The house was just as advertised: clean, spacious, and in a fantastic location. It’s in a quiet neighborhood but still within walking distance to the beach, a grocery store, local shops, and even an ice cream shop, which we loved. Although the range broke on our first night, Alison and her husband were incredibly responsive and had it replaced within a few days. Their quick action really stood out and made us feel well taken care of. Overall, it was a great experience and we’d absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!
Family-friendly home rentals with a pool

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.

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!

Duck Mountain Overlooks Sound
Sue’s house was perfect for our family of 10! A 5 minute walk to a beautiful beach. A fabulous pool for all of us to enjoy. A lovely decorated home with plenty of bedrooms and new bathrooms. Loved the outdoor showers. Well equipped kitchen for all our meals. And a porch to watch magnificent sunsets at night! Sue was quick to answer all my questions.

Cabana #3, 84 Sunset Dr, Ocracoke NC
This is a perfect place to stay while on Ocracoke! Very comfortable bed and well appointed kitchen. We enjoyed a swim in the pool too! This spot is quiet and lovely. We enjoyed our morning coffee around the pool and enjoyed the smell of jasmine that was starting to open up and listened to the mourning doves. Easy walk to Ocracoke Coffee and The Back Porch restaurant. Don’t forget to shop at Bella Fiore and Books to be Red. We will be back!

Oceanview,private POOL,AWESOME THEATER.Family Fun!
Great place. For its size and value, it literally has a ton of great features . The theatre room is amazing, especially with having kids. Has a beach volleyball court! The arcade has thousands of games and brought me back 25 years (Pac-Man, Mario, Galaga, Street Fighter, and 1,000’s more). We went when it typically would not be considered swimming weather, however, we had the option to have the pool heated at least a day or so before arriving and it made a huge difference and allowed for my girls and I to swim in early April (and I did jump in the ocean to compare and it was a 25-30 degree difference! Lol). The owner is very quick to respond, has the instructions available prior to arrival, recommendations for food, churches, , and activities. If you don’t mind a 3-5 minute stroll to the beach, it is honestly not that far away. Walmart, Target, Grocery stores, putt putt, dunes, Wings, fishing pier, are very close by. The aquarium was a 20 min drive but was worth it. Fun experience.
