4.9 out of 5 average rating, 115 reviewsOcean view, near beach access! Large pool/hot tub
Second year in a row renting the house, which was very clean on arrival. Everyone enjoyed the outdoor shower, pool, hot tub, etc. Beach access is only two houses down and there is a designated walkway for you to cross. Low tide is great for surfing with 2 sand bars. The main road is busy, but doesn't bother you while enjoying the pool or decks. The house has everything you need for cooking, grilling, playing in the pool and going to the beach. There are plenty of beach chairs, beach toys for kids, a cooler, and beach buggy to carry it all to the beach, which is a small upgrade made by the owners. Staying there two years in a row we have noticed the owners care and have done small upgrades, which is appreciated b/c we have rented houses where you can tell upgrades have not been made in years. Kitty Hawk pier is within walking distance. The pictures represent what you will get in the house and are true. Mary and Andy were great with communication and we look to rent the place again.

5 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviewsNew remodel! Heated pool. Fire pit. Steps to beach
Beautiful, comfortable, spacious accommodation. From beginning to end, Travis and Scott were great communicators. They responded almost immediately to questions. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. There were bikes, games, books, beach gear…they’ve literally thought of everything. I just wish we could have stayed longer.

We came with our dog and had a great experience. The location is a 5 minute walk from the beach and very close to both shopping and the wright brothers memorial. Great place if you are gonna be spending most of the day exploring the OBX.

Bobbie is hands down one of the best communicaters when it comes to hosting. He answered the questions I had within minutes. The place itself is perfect for my family of 3 and the beach is literally less than 100'. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Tons of great restaurants and the dunes are a minute away. 5 stars all the way!

Wonderful beach home, exactly as advertised, just steps from the ocean. The beach-themed decor enhanced our stay tremendously. The spa, hammock, and sea-view deck made it a perfect beach getaway. Our hosts were very responsive and easy to work with. Would love to stay again!

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!

What a great place! Clean and spacious, with a well equipped kitchen and modern furnishings. The mature trees surrounding the house add to the beauty and privacy of this place. We enjoyed swimming in the heated pool, soaking in the hot tub, and hanging out at the poolside tiki bar. Short and easy walk to the beach and restaurants. Will definitely return!

We had an amazing stay! The house was beautiful, exceptionally clean, and had everything we needed for a perfect vacation. The home was not only well-equipped but also decorated BEAUTIFULLY. Natalie was extremely responsive and made sure everything went smoothly. We especially loved the private pool and the fenced-in yard, which was perfect for our pups. The house is very spacious, with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space depending on your family size, including separate bedrooms and bathrooms, which was a huge plus. The provided bikes were a great touch—we had so much fun cruising around in the evenings! We were easily able to walk to the beach if wanted, but also found parking when we wanted to drive up with no problem! The main strip is not super walkable, but it was an easy 5 minutes drive to get coffee, custard, or do some souvenir shopping! We can’t wait to come back!

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.
Townhouse in Kitty Hawk
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 59 reviewsOceanfront Sanctuary
The perfect place to celebrate our 30th anniversary. The townhouse was beautiful with a clear view of the ocean from the top floor living space. There were so many activities in the area to keep us occupied if we wanted to be. We enjoyed taking the chairs to the beach and getting some sun. Our evening strolls picking shells and viewing the beautiful sunsets, footsteps from our door was very nice. A few mornings we caught the sunrise and took an almost identical picture of what Abby has on the site. There were many shopping opportunities from outlets to specialty stores. Plenty of restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Plus a variety of grocery stores to cook your own meals in a fully setup kitchen. We loved our stay and would return to Abby’s place again.

This was the perfect first vacation to take with our baby! We had such an amazing time. The house was fully stocked with essentials, everyone had their our own bathroom, the location and short walk to the beach was so nice! It was such an amazing value, just all around, perfect. We had a very memorable vacation and everyone kept talking about how much they want to come back and how great of a pick the house was ! HIGHLY recommend!!! :)

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 55 reviewsDirect Ocean Front 2BR w/ Pool
My husband and I loved the beachfront location and the simple but beach-stylish decor The mirrored wall made the whole place so bright and gave it an expansive feel. We did not use the kitchen much except for coffee, but it was well-equipped should one want to cook. The beach was just over the dune in front of the pool that was handily right outside our patio. We couldn't get any closer to the ocean. The washer/dryer were quite useful. The location was quiet, well off the street and an easy drive to many food markets and restaurants. The Wright Brothers Monument was just a few miles up the road and was well worth a visit. Also nearby was the Nags Head Nature Preserve with some forested dune hiking trails, also worth a visit. All in all, we were delighted with our rental experience with Andrew.

We had a fantastic stay at Lisa’s place! The home was exactly as described—clean, beautifully decorated, and in a great location. The beds were quite comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. I especially loved the thoughtful touches like new soaps, local snacks, and a guidebook with recommendations. The neighborhood was quiet yet close to shops, restaurants, and just a very short walk to the beach. Lisa was responsive and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!

Christina is an excellent host and has the BEST bed and breakfast in Kill Devil Hills for a couple or an individual. She is friendly and happy to assist her guests in any way possible. Her bed and breakfast is immaculately clean with all the best amenities, is three blocks from the beach, and close to wherever you want to eat or visit. I look forward to returning to this treasure in the near future!

The house was just as described, the view of the ocean from the kitchen and living room was awesome. The kitchen had everything you would need to make a meal. The beds were comfortable. It is a perfect location if you want to get to things to do in the central outer banks. The host was great we were able to check in a couple of hours early which was a great way to start off our week. I plan to rent this house again next year for our annual fishing trip.

We had a wonderful stay! The condo was as pictured and with the private access it was easy and simple to get to the beach access right next to the building. The condo was peaceful and comfortable and the wonderful beach chairs available for use were great! We hated having to leave and hope to return for a stay in the future! Steve and Val and the local manager were great to communicate with and very responsive. Thanks again for a great stay!

Jen’s house is the best equipped beach house we’ve stayed in in our almost 20 years of visiting Nags Head! We had an amazing Fall weekend at the beach - barely put shoes on from arrival to departure (sadly, we did have to make a trip to the grocery store)! Enjoyed beach and sunset views from the decks. Jen is a great host!
