Beech I Told U So! New Build
Our stay at Timothy’s place was excellent. The weather was terrible during our stay due to a tropical storm, but the beautiful house made up for the weather. Timothy has thoroughly thought of every detail in the home. It is beautifully furnished and decorated. It has a great outdoor space. There were plenty of televisions to keep everyone happy given the weather. The hot tub is frequently serviced and clean. It has a very nice outdoor tub as well. The outdoor showers are beautiful and well designed. He has hoses on every level to minimize tracking sand into the house. We felt very relaxed. We would definitely recommend Timothy’s place. Very responsive host. Timothy definitely cares about his property and the comfort of his guests. We would come back and recommend this house.

Frisco Home for some fun, sun and rest!
First thing I noticed walking in was the beautiful colors on the walls. The house was decorated so well, we felt welcomed and comfortable. We love vacationing down here and will be looking forward to staying here again.

2BR/2BA Ocean side cottage
Our long weekend stay was peaceful and just what we needed to recharge. The beach chairs and boogie boards were nice to have for the beach! The walk to the beach was a little confusing at first, but once we found the right path it was very quick. Overall we loved our stay, especially the sleepover environment with the loft!

New 2 Bedroom w 5 Beds | Walk to Beach/Pool/Tennis
Clean space within walking distance to not only the pool but also the beach which was awesome for the kids! Definitely bring a wagon for the beach goodies and cooler to camp out with the waves for the day. The outdoor shower was awesome for keeping sand out and rinsing things off before putting them back in the car!

Cool Beans Beach House
Jake was more than accommodating. Very clean. Jake was so responsive, respectful and GENEROUS! Highly recommend!

Tiny House on semi-oceanfront lot
I had a wonderful stay at Tiny Aloha. I went to have a solo retreat- and this space was perfect for me. Everything was super clean and aesthetically, well put together. There is great attention to detail from the wood work, the construction to the furnishings and art work. I really loved the space. Tami was responsive, clear with her communications and super helpful. One of the best parts for me was the outdoor shower. It's Spring time, so it was a bit cool and windy while I was there- but it was still amazing and I was surprised how much I liked it. The hang out area below is really nice for when you need to get off the beach- a very relaxing area that has everything you might want. I also loved having use of the bikes and beach chairs. I would definitely return- only I'd bring my husband next time- he needs to try the outdoor shower!

3BR/Loft Cozy House! Fishing|Boating|Views
Great place; this is our second time staying at the property and we’ll definitely stay here again next December for our annual duck hunt down to cedar island. Great location and awesome house!

Newly Renovated 2 bedroom cottage minutes to beach
I had a wonderful day at Nora’s beach cottage! Will definitely be coming back! So much care went into the home and is extremely clean, which I really appreciated!

OBX Honeymoon BEACH Escape Hot~Tub 2minBeach
Anchor-In 2 is perfect. Its renovation was done with quality and taste. It is private and quiet yet close to the beach and walkable to coffee. You have views of the ocean. We used the very clean hot tub twice a day. We rested well. The hosts were proactive and very interested in making sure we had an excellent experience. We would definitely stay again.

Direct Beach Access with Modern Beachy Vibes
LOVE this place! We have been going to the Outer Banks for decades and this is one of the cutest & cleanest homes I have stayed in! You can’t beat the amazing oceanfront location with private beach access! Host was great & provided clear instructions, all listed amenities, and local recommendations. It was awesome being able to bring my dog along for an additional fee since she also enjoys beach getaways! Will be returning ASAP and recommending to all my friends & family!

Makai Sunrise cottage by the beach -a 30 sec walk!
Perfect in every way. Steps to the beach, immaculate & beautifully decorated home, kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need, welcoming atmosphere, great decks, amazing location ~ close to grocery and delicious food. Hosts are so friendly and accommodating. We loved our time here and we will be back for sure! My highest recommendation!

Renovated Oceanfront! 2 Masters, 4 BR's, Hot tub!
We absolutely enjoyed our stay! The view was beautiful and loved that the beach was walkable distance. Would definitely love to come back!

Boho Beach Studio 1 1/2 blocks from the beach!
Clean and spacious room which is located at the ground floor of a raised house, common in OBX. The space is tidy and clean and the shower is outside and the bathroom is located in a separate room. All was clean and I would stay there again.

Stunning Ocean Front Beach Home w/ path to Beach!
We had a wonderful stay in Avon! The house was fun, cozy, and felt very safe. We especially loved flying kites on the beach, watching the dolphins, and the beautiful sunrises every morning. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, and we hope to return someday!

Cozy Beach House 4BR, Hot tub, Pets OK
Great stay! Cristina was very responsive and friendly! House was great, matched the description, and had all the amenities. The pool table and hot tub were fantastic!

Ocean Retreat - 1 Block from the Beach
The pictures do not do this place justice! If it way nicer in person and there is so much to do within walking distance! A very family and young child friendly rental!

3 Angel's Haven, Avon, 5 Min Walk to the Beach
We LOVED our stay at 3 Angel's Haven! This was our second time around and once again, Nicky could not have been nicer. There are six of us - three couples - so the room layout, each with its own bathroom, works perfectly for us. A short walk and we're at the beach. A short drive and we have our choice of restaurants, grocery, and fun, outdoor activities. We choose to come to Avon in the winter for a quieter vacation and we're coming from Wisconsin, so the colder temps were still 30 degrees warmer than home. We will be back.

Tom’s Waves House
Thomas and Lori were very responsive during a power outage and helped us settle in.

Special Sale! NEW Luxury Oceanfront, Heated Pool
The house looked exactly as described & shown in the pictures! It was absolutely beautiful, clean and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay so much! The host was communicative, nice, & made sure we were settled into the house comfortably. Cannot say enough good things about this Air BnB!!

Amazing VIEWS! Sound Front, Kayaks, Paddle boards
The perfect OBX cottage with the most stunning sunsets! We couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to spend time as a family! Everything was extremely clean and comfortable. Our host was quick to answer any questions. This will definitely be my go to OBX rental!

Memoria Bella~Hot tub~fire pit~basketball hoop
Great location, easy to walk to the beach or the path on main road to local restaurants. Beautiful sunsets from the upper deck looking towards the sound and sunrise if you walk down to the beach path. The beach was beautiful and uncrowded. The beds were comfy and we had everything we needed for a long weekend. Bonus that we didn’t have to rent linens and towels as with other beach rentals. In fact, the beach chairs & beach towels meant less I had to pack. Though the yard is not fenced, there is was plenty of nice grass for the pup and the kids to play ball in. We are looking forward to coming back next season.

Peaceful Getaway -Amazing Views - Sound Escape
We had a lovely mother/daughter weekend getaway. Your place was perfect in every way. Thank you so much for sharing your space. We loved it!

"Our Happy Place" beach house!
Great spot. Right by the water. James gave some local recommendations, which we appreciated.

Oceanfront pet friendly 4 br 3.5 ba electric lift
My family and I loved our stay at Beverly’s beach house. The house was beautiful and the location and views of the ocean could not be beat! Beverly was quick to respond and helpful when we had a couple of questions during our stay. Thank you for everything!

Your guide to Ocracoke
Introduction
With pristine beaches, fabulous fishing, and real pirate coves, Ocracoke Island is arguably the most intriguing of North Carolina’s Outer Banks islands. Anchoring the barrier islands’ southern tip, the island is a waterfront getaway full of nature and culture, as well as its own distinct dialect, called High Tider. Ocracoke was known as a pirates’ hideaway long before it was settled in the mid-18th century, primarily because its terrain was more amenable to hiding bandits than fostering new construction. Blackbeard the Pirate was one of the island’s regulars, right up until his death there in 1718. Today, Ocracoke is a treasure for visitors thanks to its 16-mile white sandy beach, charming village with a storybook history, and more galleries and antique shops per capita than anywhere else in the region.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Ocracoke
Ocracoke experiences a subtropical climate, which translates to hot, humid summers and dry, mild winters. The most popular time to stay in one of the island’s vacation rentals is in summer, when the town is fully operational and visitor-friendly. Temperatures typically climb into the upper 80s Fahrenheit, often accompanied by humid air. The region’s strong winds tend to keep climes comfortable enough to enjoy all of the outdoor recreation Ocracoke has to offer. The island more or less shuts down in the winter, with only a few businesses open year-round. Winter temperatures hover in the 40s and 50s, seldom dropping any lower. Beware of hurricane season, which runs from late summer to late fall in Ocracoke. Pay close attention to local weather reports if you’re planning a visit during this time.
Top things to do in Ocracoke
Ocracoke Lighthouse
The Ocracoke Lighthouse, completed in 1823, stands proud over the Pamlico Sound. It’s the oldest operating lighthouse in the state of North Carolina, and the second-oldest in the country. Though it’s not open for climbing, it’s a popular spot for sunset snapshots.
Silver Lake
Called the Creek by locals, Silver Lake is a can’t-miss landmark in Ocracoke: all three ferries pass through it en route to dock. Beyond its transportation duties, Silver Lake is a popular spot for kayaking and fishing, and during the summer months Silver Lake Harbor hosts a maker’s market every Wednesday.
Portsmouth Island
The southernmost barrier island on the Outer Banks is so remote that it’s often overlooked. From Ocracoke, the journey to Portsmouth is less than 45 minutes by passenger ferry, and it’s a sight to see. There are no vacation homes, services, or businesses on this rustic island, and the village has been a literal ghost town for decades. What it lacks in civilization, it makes up for in quiet, remote bliss, especially if you like fishing and camping.
