Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Horses-Views-Dog Friendly-4WD Area
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.

The Sea Perch~ Stylish Beachbox with Hot Tub!
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.

Easy Breezy beach house on secluded waterfront
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 didnât 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.

OBX Beach House *Heated Pool&Hot Tub* in Duck
We love staying at Donaldâs Duck! This was our second stay and we think this place is just so cute and cozy. Our favorite place is the beautifully lit pool area. Itâs a short walk to the beach. The indoor space is beautiful and clean. Mark is a very responsive and helpful host! We love the proximity to the shops and restaurants.

Foster Your Dreams: 5 min walk to beach, MP 8.7
Overall a very well taken care of house. Loved the space for everyone. Easy access to shops and the beach. Overall a great place to be.

Kitty Hawk Cottage w/ HotTub, Fire pit, Ocean View
The place was very nice and tidy. We enjoyed our night here and would definitely return. Everything that we needed was there and we couldnât have asked for a better place.

*Hot-Tub* Pet Friendly Community Pool, Cottage KDH
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!

NEW-Walk to beach- hot tub-beach items-SUP
Well appointed little place with a super convenient location just a short walk to the beach. We appreciated the little wagon! Was a perfect weekend stay for our family of four

Classic Flat Top, Beach 3 min walk, Pets Stay Free
This was our second stay at the Flat Top and we will definitely be returning. Dustin was a great host again. The house was in immaculate shape. The big yard for the pups is a huge bonus especially being so close to the beach. Dustin is always very responsive. It feels like a home away from home. Thanks so much for having us again. âĽď¸

Juhl of the Sea
We really enjoyed staying at Chadâs 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.

Duck Cottage w/ pool , big porches and 5 min walk
The place was perfect for us. Itâs located in a quiet neighborhood. Itâs about ~2 miles from the shops of Duck. The beach is less than five minutes walkâour dog loved it. We had a great time! The hosts were very responsive and check in and check out were a breeze.

Second Wind~4 bdrm, Steps2beach,Gas Firepit, Pets!
As a family group of 7 people with 5 adults and 2 children we loved how spacious Second Wind was - allowing for together time and private time. I love the H-shaped floor plan: large open concept space in the center flanked by 2 bedrooms and a bath to each side - plus the bonus of a larger bedroom on each side). There were also areas to spread out and have a bit of âspaceâ for smaller endeavors. While we didnât have time for it I appreciated that the backyard would be great to use the badminton game I brought. It was close to the beach, the beds were comfortable, nice cookware in the kitchen, thoughtful details (provided coffee, charcoal, throw blankets, plenty of dishes and cutlery, a laundry room with a drying rack, the opportunity to bring our dog ). Our host Jane was very responsive and accommodating. Everyone said at some point, and some multiple times, how much we liked it and would definitely like to come back!

More BeachTime KDH Beach Side 1 blk5minwlktobeach
This place was perfect for our group! Mark was great with communication and always quick to respond! Loved that they had all the beach supplies youd need, made our vacation so much less stressful because we didnt have to worry about a thing there. Beach is so close too!

Sea Captain's Cottage 3 (Oceanfront Cottage Court)
Just a few steps from the beach, this place was the PERFECT stay for our little group. Four adults, a toddler, an infant, and a dog all stayed and we werenât over crowded at all. The tile floors make clean up super easy and itâs within walking distance of multiple restaurants. We would love to stay here again on our next trip!

Oceanside/Short walk tođ/Fenced Yard/Dog friendlyđž
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!

Ocean View, Family Cottage Located on Beach Road
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.

DUCK~Beautiful home perfect location!
Beautiful home in a lovely part of Duck! Perfectly located between a short walk to the beach or steps into town. The home is comfortable and modern, and check in and check door were easy. Lovely stay!

Renovated ~ 4Min Walk to Beach & Community Pool!
Super quiet and peaceful location. We wanted an area without all the typical commercial development and high rise condos and Duck perfectly fit the bill! (No pun intended). A fairly easy bike ride to all the Duck restaurants and shopping. Beach was great and not crowded at all. We really enjoyed the house and the host was great in every aspect. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the porch furniture as thatâs a nice area to sit and relax. You can clearly hear the waves crashing onto the beach. Hope we can visit again!

âVitamin Seaâ comfy 5br, hot tub and ocean view.
We had a great time at the Vitamin Sea house. Paul was very responsive and helpful. The location was perfect for our group of 10. Lots of activities and supplies to entertain. We created everlasting memories here and weâre grateful for it.

ManeStay Island Beach Cottage - Wild Horses Roam
This is our third time staying at Dianeâs place and it was wonderful as usual. Itâs always refreshing to experience the quiet atmosphere and peaceful surroundings. Great place to relax.

The Islander Way OceanSide Cottage 1Block to Beach
We had an amazing week in Kill Devil Hills! The home is cozy and adorable. So many things provided, greatly helped to reduce what we packed. Reese and Cayce were so helpful and responsive to all questions we asked. Very kind and accommodating as well! We would love to stay here again someday!

Beachburg - Walk to the beach!
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!

Beech Tree Tiny Home-OBX-1BR Cottage Near Ocean!
We loved the cottage. The privacy and peacefulness was such a treat. The cottage itself was immaculate and we really enjoyed the amazing water pressure, shower, and comfortable bed. Perfect retreat for a couple. The beach chairs, umbrella and bikes were also much appreciated. The AC units worked really well and were quiet. Would definitely book again!
