Cottage holiday rentals in Outer Banks

The place was perfect. Very well stocked and pet friendly. We saw horses daily by the rental. Very easy access to the beach. Only thing it needs is a sign out by the entrance of the driveway with house #. We came in at night during a storm and it took us a few minutes to find the drive. I definitely recommend.

We loved this place! Great vibe, clean, came with two bikes that we enjoyed riding to the sound and back (as well as Front Porch Coffee). The hot tub was amazing and relaxing. Notable that the bathroom downstairs has its own entrance that is not connected to the bedroom down there. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. Would stay at this house again and highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a cute little oasis that is very centrally located.

Very secluded and peaceful. Wish the weather had been better throughout our stay but it was very nice to wake up to the sound of the waves and nature. I will say if you have a toddler to make sure to take a safety gate. He made it a challenge wanting to climb the stairs so we went out to buy some for our stay. WiFi is spotty (which is a good thing) but I didn’t realize none of my messages were sent until this morning. My husband and son enjoyed some fishing and caught a few stingrays. I would love to go back later in the year.

somewhere on the beach was the perfect beach house with out that overly "beach house" decor. it was tasteful and cleanly decorated. the outdoor areas were great. the pool is just the right size, the additional seating and outdoor lounge areas were great. The bedrooms had nice mattresses.

Loved my stay !!! Beds were super comfy! And the house was super nice with a 10 min walk to the beach !

The Seahorse Shanty was the perfect place for my family of five to stay for our first visit to the Outer Banks. The house was squeaky clean and so bright and welcoming. The location was great, making it easy to explore Corolla, Duck, and Kitty Hawk, and Kendra has done an excellent job outfitting this home with all the essentials to make it a perfect home away from home.

We had a wonderful stay in Kitty Hawk. Mark and Billy’s place was accurately described, in a fantastic location close to the beach. The place had everything we needed to cook full meals and have a blast. We would definitely recommend their place to anyone in the OBX area!

We had such an amazing time here! She was quick to respond and the place was beautiful! The backyard was perfect for our toddler to play in and I really appreciated that there was a baby gate for upstairs. We will definitely be coming back!

So glad this listing was available definitely exceeded my expectations. It’s hard to find a home so accommodating to the fur babies. I was floored walking into a clean home fully stocked with all the amenities plus. It was like staying in a hotel with the feeling of being at home. Hands down the best beach stay ever totally recommend and hopefully I get that chance to visit again.

We really enjoyed staying at Chad’s place. It was very clean and comfortable and we felt like we were in a tree house with all the beautiful trees outside the windows. We loved the porches and the close proximity to restaurants and the beach. Chad was very friendly and responsive. We definitely will be staying again.

My family enjoyed the space. It was exactly what we were looking for. It was very clean and gave us a great place to rest or escape the sun. The host had beach chairs and toys in the garage which was a nice surprise. Also between communications over the app and the house book we never had to worry about local recommendations. It was a slam dunk for us!

We had an amazing time! The house was incredible and so close to the beach. It was also extremely clean! We will definitely be back - loved how close the house was to everything, especially the coffee shop!

Perfect location, had everything we needed for a long weekend. Screened in porch and outdoor shower were great!

This is a beautiful place and it's incredibly thoughtfully done! The screened porch is a DREAM. The house is full of thoughtful details, including plenty of beach towels, beach supplies, and pet-friendly items. We had no problem cooking at home with the fully stocked kitchen. It takes less than 5 minutes to walk to the beach, with the public access path almost across the street. I'd absolutely return!

Great location, only a five minute walk to the beach and you can hear the waves while sitting on the top deck. The house had everything we needed. It was perfectly decorated and very comfortable for lounging after the day's adventures. The fenced in back yard was perfect for our family with dogs, and included a picnic table next to the grill which was perfect for seafood eating. Bikes were great and many other beach necessities for the summer months. Brian provided very detailed instructions and suggestions for restaurants and more. Great place!

Sarah was a great and responsive host and the location was absolutely beautiful, a nice private beach across the street, this stay at Sarahs helped make our trip as phenomenal as it was.

Perfect cottage for two or four persons. Cottage has all the amenities you need! Great location to the beach as less than 5 min walk. Plenty of room on the deck. Nice areas for shade with couch seating. Plenty of room to grill and eat on the shaded picnic tables. No wonder we keep coming back each June. Plus, Mom’s Sweet Shop is right next door to tempt your sweet tooth and/or shopping for clothes, candles, etc.

We enjoyed our stay so much! The space was clean, organized and felt right at home. It’s small and was perfect for My husband and I. The mini fridge had a fantastic freezer so we always had ice for our beach cooler. We loved how it was close to everything we needed while staying on the beach road. Britt and Nicole were quick to respond when we had a small issue with the wifi and had it fixed in less than 12 hours..In a nutshell we loved our stay and i plan on booking next year!

Such a cool experience! Scooter was so friendly and helpful with all the questions we had. Was within walking distance to the beach and multiple restaurants/coffee shops! We had an amazing time!

This was an ideal house for our group of six adults. Very comfortable cottage with an outdoor shower, grill, well appointed kitchen and beach equipment. The only potential drawback could be that there is limited common space outside of the bedrooms, but most of our time was spent out of the house. Getting out of the house on a busy main road was a bit challenging but worked. TVs in each bedroom was appreciates. Refrigerator worked great, dishwasher, loved the drip and pod coffee makers, and the beds were very comfortable. Jeff was an amazing host and communicator and made our visit super comfortable and easy. Both bathrooms were clean and fairly updated. Great value for the area. Would love to come back again!

This is our third time staying at Diane’s place and it was wonderful as usual. It’s always refreshing to experience the quiet atmosphere and peaceful surroundings. Great place to relax.

What a charming, impeccably clean and ultra comfortable home in our favorite Duck community, The Sanderling! We couldn't have been happier :-) The home was just perfect for our small group..the furniture was modern, clean and decorated with class. And, the kitchen was quite well stocked for our family who very much appreciates engaging in home cooked meals. The laundry machines were brand new and convenient being on the ground floor. We loved having everything on one level and of course...never missed an early morning sunrise and sunset across the street at the Sanderling dock! A magical time indeed - thank you Mark, for everything!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful beach home! The space was spotless upon arrival—truly one of the cleanest and most well-maintained vacation rentals we've ever experienced. Every detail was thoughtfully considered making it feel like a true home away from home. Our host was exceptional—organized, responsive, and clearly takes great pride in both the property and the guest experience. You can tell this home is lovingly cared for, and it made our time by the ocean even more relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-appointed beach getaway. We hope to return soon!

Her place was perfect for our family of four. The walk to beach was super easy and loved she had all the beach toys for the kids and the cart was super nice to have. Her place was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. Definitely will keep her place in my favorites for when we come down again. She was a great host and she was very easy to communicate with. Thanks again for a great stay!
