Windy Oaks guest suite.
We had a wonderful weekend at Windy Oaks! The space is perfect for a couple. Location is ideal to spend a day at the beach. Highly recommend for your next trip to Avon!

The Dock
This Airbnb was great! We were a little skeptical at first because its located right in between all of the small shops, but it was awesome!

Rocking Hat Retreat WEST •Private garden on canal•
I highly recommend this place. Quiet and peaceful yet close to everything. I’m looking forward to returning. The host was wonderful and has great recommendations.

Outer Banks Luxurious & Secluded Beach Getaway #1
Great place! Perfect for an Outer Banks trip. Tiffany was a great host as well! 10/10 would stay again! 😁

Waterfront studio with sound views!
We enjoyed our stay at Nikki’s apartment very much. The space is very clean, inviting and had all the amenities listed on the description. The photos are accurate and reflect the second floor apartment well. We like to cook a few meals while traveling and found all the pots, pans and utensils we needed in the kitchen. New appliances are also available. It is located in a peaceful, quiet and safe neighborhood. Nikki and her husband were friendly and available if needed. Would definitely consider returning again.

Pool | Stunning Ocean View | Balcony | MP 9
Our family had a wonderful time and wish we could have stayed longer. Loved that we had an ocean view and a short walk to the beach.

No Ordinary Sunrise - Dog Friendly & Waterfront
We enjoyed our stay. The location is very convenient. Peaceful, few minutes drive from beautiful beaches. Very clean apartment with comfortable mattress. Equipped with anything you need. My husband and me had "aperitivo" every evening on the balcony watching the water and the sunset.

Canalfront, "Mariner's Retreat"
Tidy and small. Great spot to relax but a bit far from any activities. Make sure you have a car to drive. Overall a very great place.
Waterfront house rentals

WAVES LANDING BEACH COTTAGE
Our stay at Beverly’s was so wonderful! From the moment we booked Beverly made sure it was the right place for us. She was so responsive and helpful with anything we needed. The house was perfect for our group, and so kid friendly. We walked to the beach, went in the pool, even wind surfed and kite boarded while we were there! The house is gorgeous! The kitchen has a stunning view and made family dinners so fun every night. The upstairs bedrooms were perfect so we didn’t disturb anyone still sleeping in the mornings, and having 2 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms was perfect so only the kids were sharing a bathroom! Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Thanks Bev!

Scout's Harbour Family Bayhouse!
Scout's Harbor accommodated our large group very well. Plenty of space for sleeping, hanging out, and cooking. Views of the sound were beautiful. We had a great stay and appreciated Gia's responsiveness.

Ocean Front Beach House Kearney Castle
we had a great stay at this house! the location was perfect and so close to stores and a grocery which was super convenient. The beds were super comfortable and all in all it was a great spot for the family. would definitely stay here again.

SERENE SOUND RETREAT OBX /Sandy Beach/Dog Friendly
Excellent location, very nice neighborhood. House is well laid out especially for a handicap person which we had. We enjoyed our stay

(new) Anchors Away - Waterfront Home
This is a beautiful home with huge windows looking out on the sound. We loved going out on the dock and watching the sun set and taking out the kayaks for a morning paddle. We are already plotting our next visit.

Oceanfront, Hot Tub, Heated Pool, Firepit, Game Rm
Overall, this was a great vacation spot. Hosts were great! House was great! We had a small inconvenience with three people coming the first day to service different parts of the house, but once addressed the host’s accommodated our requests well. Location is nice!

Sound Decision (Waterfront/Tennis/Location)
Such a beautiful setting with the water right outside the deck! This was our second time staying and we loved it again! The condo is super clean and comfortable. Publix (grocery) is right down the road and the beach is really close too. There’s great restaurants all around the area. The hosts are very friendly and responsive.

Special Sale! Oceanfront Heated Pool Elevator ADA
This vacation stay was unforgettable!! We loved our time here, it was so perfect that it felt like a dream. The location and home were as advertised but better than we could have imagined! Thank you for letting us stay in this amazing home.
Waterfront condo accommodation

Oceanfront Luxury Penthouse w/Stunning Views!
The condo was very charming with new appointments and has a beautiful view of the ocean. We enjoyed sunrise each morning and the sound of the waves crashing each night. The kitchen was well equipped and had sufficient space for the two of us. It was also nice to have both a full and half bath as well as a door between the sink area and toilet/shower in the full bath. Having several options for coffee with espresso, drip, and a Keurig was a big plus A few observations we want to share. It would be very tight to fit 6 people in the place but you could comfortably have two couples or a couple with two kids with the second pair on the sleeper sofa. Overall it was a great stay for our anniversary weekend!!!

Turtle Tides - Oceanfront Penthouse Retreat
I booked this location for our 2 year anniversary and it was an incredible stay. The view was perfect and the house was everything we needed for a few days stay. Gene was incredibly kind and even allowed us to check in early which worked out perfectly for us. The listing was just as described and honestly much more head space in the main room than we originally thought. The internet was great which was incredibly useful for our remote work. Couldn't recommend a better stay in the OBX for the price and location.

Oceanfront OBX Condo - Suite Caroline
Rebecca is a great host. We felt right at home and the place is lovely. The entire condo was shining clean. It was a nice touch to have shampoos etc and towels ready. The walk in shower was a delight. The kitchen was well stocked and made it easy to cook. Yes overall the kitchen served our needs. We found the beds to be the best ever and we stay on ObX annually for 40 years!! Definitely great sleep. Thanks for a great week.

Oceanfront 2BR Renovated Condo Linens Included
What a fantastic location! We loved being right on the beach. Inside the condo was really quiet and it had everything we needed. My kids loved it too and we got to see dolphins from the balcony!

Sunburst Ocean View Condo @ Nags Head Beach
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!

Atlantic Sunrise | Pool | Stellar Ocean View | MP9
This is our 3rd time staying here! Has a beautiful view, great access to the beach and a nice pool, which is so great to break up the day. We traveled with two adults and two children perfect amount of space. Little dated inside but has everything you need. We come for the location, because it’s so good! As other reviews have said there is a rental above you. We had one night of very late night noise but other than that it was a wonderful stay, we will be coming back!

1BR Beachfront Condo • 2nd Floor • Pool • Hot Tub
Where do I start… Absolutely great views, quiet neighbors, and great places to eat! To top all that off is how clean and beautifully decorated the condo was. Very relaxing, everything we needed was there, not cluttered, and communication was great! What more could you ask for!

CABANA - HATTERAS NATIONAL SEASHORE
This Airbnb is in a great location, right on the beach. The place was very clean and we really enjoyed the deck. Overall, a great experience.
