Windy Oaks guest suite.
We loved Windy Oaks instantly! So comfortable, and exactly what we wanted - the bed was great, back yard wonderful - we walked over to the Sound to watch the sunset. We would go back to the OBX just to stay at this airbnb again!

Scenic Escape w/ Dock: 1 Mi to Ocracoke Lighthouse
Perfect for two of us plus our dog. The deck is lovely with new furniture and the view can’t be beat. Easy bike or golf cart ride to the Village and the owners are friendly and responsive.

Lovely studio in Buxton, NC
The studio was very cozy!! Had a personal A/C unit so the temperature was great. We had a very friendly welcoming, the studio is stocked with all appliances you will need (kitchen utensils, towels, etc..) I would love to stay in there unit again everything was perfect.

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.

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.

Rooms with Views
Fantastic views, cozy, great bed… lots of positives to say about this gem! The owners were very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Fantastic back porch overlooking the Pamlico Sound. Very quick drive to Hatteras and Buxton, where there are plenty of fantastic restaurants. And a huge hot tub!

Direct Ocean Front View. August weeks available.
This stay was wonderful. The place was very comfortable, clean, and exactly as described. It’s located in a quiet, peaceful area that’s not busy at all—perfect for a relaxing getaway. We loved how private it felt, with no noise or crowds nearby. The best part was the million dollar, unobstructed view of the ocean—absolutely breathtaking and worth every penny. Nancy was very responsive, making check-in and communication seamless. We would definitely stay here again!

Waterfront, Immaculate, Private Room, Pier, #1
Beautiful place to stay at, a very safe and hidden location. The host is very responsive and gives great recommendations on where to eat and what to do if you need help making an itinerary!

Nautical Endeavors
This place is absolutely beautiful! You can hear the waves all night long and the the AC works beautifully! You do need 4 wheel drive as there home is in-between dunes and the parking situation with other Airbnbs cause for some 4 wheel drive action but it's part of the experience and we loved it all! Everyone around is extremely friendly and we were able to enjoy our pup on the beach at all times! EXTREMELY dog friendly vibe! Beware this location is about 30 minutes from more urban city areas BUT there are plenty of local markets and deli's to make your easy! Ice machine is fantastic and honestly makes up for no freezer! We will be booking yearly

Beachfront: Light and Waves atop the Dunes
Paradise!! This home makes you feel like you’re living in paradise! The pictures capture the home but to be there live is on another level! The home was extremely clean and fit our family of 7 perfectly but could have easily added more people to the home. We cooked every day and all cooking utensils we needed were in the home. We walked to Food Lion and Duck Donuts (10-15 min) because there is a sidewalk on the main road. I would absolutely come back to this home and would HIGHLY recommend The Beach House to everyone I know who would like to visit OBX.

NEW soundfront home 360 Water Views Private Beach
Kite's Inn was exactly as advertised and more. The home is beautiful, well-furnished, and the kitchen was well-equipped. We loved the location with great views of the Pamlico Sound. The House was ideal for pets and small children. The grass yard allowed our dogs to play outside and to swim in the Sound without having to worry about stepping on burs and the beach was ideal for our 1 1/2 year old grand child. The house is easy walking distance to nearby attractions and restaurants. Joshua is a great host who was responsive and proactive with ideas when we had a rainy day.

Comfortable Down East Waterfront Farmhouse
We all felt this was our favorite place so far. It is near the end of the road with widely-spaced homes on large lots so we never heard a car but saw one woman walking her dog and lots of birds. There is a long dock and stairs to the beach. When we had a question about the oven Brent arrived within 5 minutes! A magical place…

Special Sale! NEW Luxury Oceanfront, Heated Pool
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Brian is an excellent host. The home was very clean and neat. The kitchen is the most well stocked kitchen I've had the pleasure of using at an Airbnb. The location is great. The beach is very nice and was not very busy. We hope to come back soon!

Sunset Cottage on the Pamlico Sound.
This place were everything we hoped for and more. The house was very clean, well decorated, and well supplied with all cooking utensils and anything else you might need. It even had a good selection of spices and seasonings to use for cooking. The space under the house was a great hangout area for kids and adults alike. The view of the sound was amazing and the dock was great. The kayaks and paddle board were a very cool plus. Overall a five star experience and and we hope to come back next year!

FAIR WINDS of Rodanthe-Walk to Pier+Dogs Welcome!
Gia was an excellent host and her place was everything we hoped for and more. Some of the most beautiful ocean views in the area and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. We’ve already recommended her to some of our closest friends…and now to you also!

Sandy Soles
Sandy Soles is one of our favorite places to stay! Quiet, peaceful and great views of the sound. The house is well equipped and the canal is perfect for accessing the sound. Highly recommend!
Waterfront condo accommodation

Isla Cay- 2 bedroom soundfront condo
Nice, clean condo with great location on the sound with beautiful sunset views! Very friendly and responsive owners! Hope to stay here many more times.

Comfortable 2BR Soundview 2nd-Floor | Patio
Stayed for our first trip to the OBX. Unit exceeded our expectations from the photos. The two bedroom suites are on opposite sides of the unit which our two boys (10 & 17) loved. Very clean and comfortable. Felt like a home away from home. Kitchen was very well equipped. Beds were super comfortable! Only slight critique was a clump of hair in the drain in the king bathroom tub and the shower curtain looked moldy all along the bottom. For our active family there wasn’t too much for us to do in the immediate area other than water sports, which they tired of quickly. So we spent quite a bit of time driving to other towns. But, that was partly our fault for not doing enough research. If you’re looking for fishing, kite boarding, or just a quiet escape, this place definitely fits the bill!

Starlights 2 - Oceanfront! 2BR
A big thank you to Matthew! The best part of my vacation was spent right here taking in the beautiful views, letting the ocean wash my worries away and getting some much need relaxation.

D101: Harborview, Harbor Front: Directly on
Arguably some of the best views on the entire island. Great location in the center of things but also surprisingly quiet. Nicely furnished and comfortable.

1BR Oceanfront | Balcony | Pool | Hot Tub
I only have positive feedback on this unit and the great customer service we received from the Vacasa team from booking to checkout. This unit is easy access, in a good location, has a great view, and was very clean and well maintained. Just the right size for a couple or small family . The complex, pool, hot tub and the boardwalk to the beach were all well kept and maintained. We highly recommend this unit and Vacasa to anyone looking to visit the area.

Perfect location with great views and water access
Very communicative, bare bones, just as advertised. The home was pristinely clean. The views were beautiful, gorgeous sound views from the balcony. The beach is just a short walk away and the pier is a 5 minute drive. Perfect location in Avon & Mike is super friendly! Be mindful that you will have to bring bath towels, but other necessities were supplied by the cleaners and lasted us through a full week. This was transparently advertised though. The living room is not quite as comfortable as we would’ve liked, but that’s just our preference. The rest of the house was very comfortable and we were pleased with the furnishing. The space is clearly well taken care of. Avon overall is a wonderful place to visit. The locals were probably the most friendly we’ve experienced in the OBX. The area is very remote and you can see the stars and even have a bonfire on the beach. Plenty of free parking and easy public beach access. Really good restaurants too. Highly recommend and we’ll be back!

2BR Soundview 2nd-Floor | Deck | Pool
Great location! Very peaceful on the sound side of Hatteras. Wildlife was wonderful! Very comfortable and back deck was relaxing!

Tressa Terrace 2BR beachfront, views, pool access
This is a fantastic condo with everything you need to be cozy and comfortable for a week… we adored the view! It was quiet and clean… top notch stay!!
