Vitamin Sea
Great air bnb with a nice walking path to the beach! Restaurants and things to do in the immediate area, and many things to do worth a little extra drive. Michael was a great host, would recommend staying here.

Laughing Whales - Not your average rental!
We had an amazing stay ! The place was clean , well located and stocked with more necessities than any other Airbnb we’ve stayed in . The hosts Marc & Betsy were incredibly friendly , helpful , thoughtful & considerate - they even left doggie treats waiting in the food bowl for my pup & had plenty of supplies for your pet , you & your family of all ages ! The outdoor tv was definitely a hit & was used just about every night we were there . They also let us check in early which was a lifesaver for my parents who drove their pick up truck with an open bed loaded with their belongings . The listing & photos do not do this awesome place justice ; it’s even better in person !! We highly recommend Marc & Betsy’s place & would love to stay again !! Thank you Marc & Betsy for a great relaxing week for my family and I , you guys rock !!

Oceanfront Toes In The Sand Rodanthe NC
We had a great stay at Toes in the Sand. It was even better than pictured. I was originally worried from the photos that maybe you couldn’t see the ocean from the main living floor, but you absolutely can see the ocean from nearly everywhere in the house. It’s lovely. Such a charming house, quiet, beautiful beach, and near enough to groceries, gas, and anything else you’d need. Also, had a great Oceanside dinner at Fish Heads <30 min north! Thank you for a great stay, Alex.

Ocean view, near beach! Large pool/new hot tub
We loved our stay in Southern Shores. This house was nice and clean when we got there—with fresh flowers even! It was an easy walk to the beach, even with kids and was also a plus to have an awesome ice cream shop so close! The pool and spa were perfect—we really enjoyed the privacy fence—felt like our own little oasis. I love the central location. It made it easy to visit so many places in OBX, like Nags Head, Kitty Hawk, Duck and even Corolla. Everything was well stocked and we so appreciated the beach cart! Would definitely stay with Mary and Andy again.

Rainbow's End Retreat (IBX, NC)
A Perfect Slice of Paradise – Truly the Rainbow’s End! We just returned from the most magical stay at Rainbow’s End. Nestled in the heart of the Inner Banks, this home offers the perfect blend of peace, comfort, and natural beauty. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at ease. The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we needed—from a fully equipped kitchen to cozy linens and thoughtful touches throughout. The views were absolutely breathtaking—sunrises over the water, gentle breezes, and the kind of quiet that soothes the soul. Our days were filled with playing in the lush backyard, reading on the deck, and exploring charming nearby towns. Evenings were for bonfire, stargazing, and watching the colors of the sunset fade into twilight. Rainbows End truly lives up to its name Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. It was everything we hoped for and more

Herbie's -Oceanfront, Pets OK, Centrally Located!
Perfect location, clean and comfortable.

Epic Sunsets | Waterfront Cottage | Pet Friendly
This place was the most charming airbnb I have ever stayed in. Badria and Jay made every detail of our stay perfect with all of their extra touches, including saltwater taffy and a box of croissants, slippers and a lavender mask, and a fully stocked coffee station with syrups. We instantly felt at home and in vacation mode at their place and literally laid out on the dock the entire time. A perfect spot for kayaking, laying out in the sun, and I even brought out my mat and did some yoga on the dock. The views were unreal. The couch was so comfortable I accidentally fell asleep there the whole night and woke up to the gorgeous window views. Amazing hosts and location!

Kill Devil Hills*Oceanfront*Milepost 5.5*
Cutest little cottage with the best ocean view!! We felt right at home. The house had everything we needed, even beach chairs umbrella and boogie boards! Pet friendly. Quick walk to the beach and walking distance to the pier. Annette and Greg are very nice people and I would highly recommend you to stay here!!

Beautiful Beachfront Condo
The only issue we had was our code for the building and parking did not work at first! Pam was very quick to resolve! There are no elevators in parking garage, I would take my stuff in at the entrance and then park! Dolphin run staff was not much help! We had a second car that we were supposed to get a parking permit for. They just told us to park and not worry about signs that clearly stated towed with no permit. Our car did NOT get towed!

3 bedroom condo with oceanfront just steps away!
We really enjoyed our stay here as a family with small children. There were only a couple other people at the condominium so the pool was always available and parking was easy. I liked how you get to park underneath the condos so your car stays shaded. The lock code to the stairwell and elevator made us feel secure. There were plenty of nice beach items to use in the storage including wagon, umbrella, and chairs. Each room had plenty of beach towels and bath towels. The walk to the beach was minimal. The only cons were loud vehicles since you are close to the road and one ceiling fan not working in a bedroom but that didn’t bother us! Overall it is a great place and exceeded our expectations!

New fully loaded, Firepit, pool/hottub, ocean view
My family came together for a 3-day stay at Nomad Dunes. It was everyone's 1st time to the OBX. There's 16 of us ranging in age from 9-74! There are 3 levels to this home with sleeping areas on all levels which was great for us. I think we used every entertaining and relaxing spot in this house!! You can see the ocean from the top floor and it truly is easy enough to walk to the beach or hop in the car and drive back and forth. Having the pool was perfect for our family. It is about 5ft deep at most so all the kids could access the pool without worry. And the hot tub was VERY popular with our group! Hardly anyone picked up a phone or devise other than to take photos or videos and we watched one movie. The drive on the beach to get to the home was a LOT more than we expected!! Videos do not do this justice. It's long, and bumpy, and feels out of control at times. SHOP beforehand!! Beds and furnishings are comfy and pretty. I suggest mentioning if you plan to use the bunks and sofa bed.

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.

VA Beach Oceanfront Studio, Beach, Boardwalk, Pool
The apartment was just as pictured. It was neat and clean upon arrival. The location was great and there was so much to do.

Oceanfront, beach, boardwalk, fun, dolphin, sunris
We enjoyed staying at Kelly's place in VB. Its an ideal location for anyone who wants to stay right at the boardwalk. We witnessed amazing sunrises and moonrises. The ocean was right in front of us and from the 6th floor, the view was expansive. A lot of restaurants were also nearby. Kelly was always very communicative, polite and professional. The apartment was clean with the kitchen well stocked with utensils The bedrooms were of a pretty large size. And parking was on the premises. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and holiday for us. We strongly recommend Kelly's place.

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.

Barclay Towers Resort Direct Oceanfront Unit
I was amazed at how central the room was to everything. We walked everyday to everything. We only drove to get groceries. The pics onljn3 of the room are outdated, the place looks new and was so comfortable. We loved having oceanfront for when it was too hot or busy at the beach we could sit and still easily see the everything. We had all the supplies you could need and really enjoyed our stay. Jessica reports quickly and kindly. We would recommend this place to anyone.

Ocean VIEWs, NEW, Direct Access, CLEAN + EZ Cart
The house was absolutely beautiful, clean, and spacious. We enjoyed the balconies with the view of the ocean. It was a short walk to the beach and the beach wagon on site was handy. Can’t wait to return for another visit!

Oceanfront Nags Head Beach House - with extras!
We all felt very at home, the house is gorgeous and the beach is right there. We each had our own room and bathroom. Carrie was always quick to respond to our questions. We definitely want to go back there if possible next year and use her house again. None of us wanted to leave. We even saw dolphins from her deck, it was amazing. Thank you Carrie for everything!!!

NEW! Stunning Beach House w/Ocean View & Hot Tub!
Beautiful house and great location! The house had everything we needed, awesome water pressure- even in the outdoor shower. Hot tub and surrounding area were great when it rained/after the beach. The walk to the beach was quick and easy. We had a very nice time!

Surf shack Rodanthe
Scooters place is very unique, a peaceful setting and very private, virtually one of a kind. You’re going to love it. It’s warm in the daytime but delightful in the evening and early morning. You’ll hear the sounds of chirping birds and frogs. This is one you don’t wanna miss. There’s just something magical about all those antique surfboards in the loft above you. we are definitely headed back again.

'Loophole' | Oceanfront | Historic Cottage
This home certainly makes for a relaxing vacation, as you have direct walk-out access to the beach; it feels warm and welcoming, everything you need to unwind and simply enjoy the sea and sand. Ideal location. We would definitely stay again.

Adorable 2 BR Cottage in Swan Beach- 4WD required
Our family of 4 really enjoyed our stay to Kokomo! It was just the right size with all the things you need. Our host was extremely hospitable and flexible. The house was very clean and the extra beach amenities was a plus! The location is wonderful and very fun with a Jeep! Town is not far away with great restaurants, shopping, and putt putt.

Open house with Ocean views!
Stacis house was great to stay for five adults and two children. We visited for only a few days during the weekdays and booked last minute. For the availability, the price was appropriate. The location is just across the street from the beach, and the provided beach toys and towels were great. We could go the beach and pop over home for lunch and then go back in the beach. Would highly recommend this place in Sandbridge.

Oceanfront Artist's Retreat in heart of Nags Head
amazing house. so beautiful. perfect location right on the beach. beautiful beach area, amazing value for the location and timing of the year. very nice house and very accommodating. Will hopefully be returning next year. perfect place if you have kids, as the beach is right there and the rooms are set up very nicely for that. the master bedroom is out of this world nice. very spacious.
