Family-friendly holiday rentals in Hatteras Island

Best of both world's, sound and close to ocean side. AMAZING sunsets. One of our favorite spots was sitting in the dock enjoying the breeze and walking the private beach finding different shells and hermit crabs. The kids obviously really liked the beach, hot tub and pool. We also liked learning how to crab. Oh and skim board! Thank you for sharing your home and for our wonderful memories!

Ross was friendly and easy to communicate with for our last minute stay. The house is clean and large enough for a big group. There is only one queen size bed and the rest are twin and full size bunk beds which is unique but worked fine for us. The location is convenient and easy to find. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking, could use some newer pans but that's the case with most rentals. We didn't use the hot tub & pool much but they were clean and ready to go.

Great location. Spacious home with many bedrooms. Very clean. Well designed for large groups. Would come back again.

definitely worth the stay. walking distance to anything you need. the beach is right off the driveway! excellent fishing spot as well! (caught a 27" red drum in the surf as well as a whiting and a flounder) the house in itself is well set up to accomodate the family and all of its needs. we had a party of 9 myself my significant other and 7 children ages 20 - 7 . everyone was comfortable and had a blast! will definitely book again!

This home was a beautiful setting for our Mother’s 70th Birthday getaway. The view was phenomenal and the home was clean. The space was perfect for our large group where we could congregate together in the large living spaces but had plenty of bedrooms so that we could all have our own room to relax. The one callout and disappointment was that check in was not until 5pm, which is the latest I have ever seen with an Airbnb. We drove 9 hours to get there and was hoping to check in just a little earlier, but the property management could not accommodate my request, so we were stuck killing time for 3 hours.

Heaven sent! My family arrived at another rental we had booked for 2 weeks in Rodanthe only to find it inaccessible due to flooding so we were homeless at 5:30 on a Saturday afternoon. We found Natalie's listing for this property and quickly contacted her to request an on-the spot booking. She responded immediately and graciously accepted. We had no idea what to expect, having had no opportunity to thoroughly research the property in advance of booking. Natalie indeed has a true gem in this listing. Being waterfront on the sound side was a new experience for us, we have been lifelong oceanfront renters. The property, pool and grounds were exceptionally well cared for and the pier and sea wall provided ample fishing opportunities, bringing in several nice Red Drum and Blues among the usual assortment. The house itself provided ample room for our family to spread out and also enjoy being together. Natalie saved the day and we had a fabulous stay - I highly recommend this listing!

The house is incredible. The decor is amazing. Everyday someone would notice a something else they never saw before. There is a very short walk to beach. You have great views of the sunrise over the ocean from the hot tub or either deck. We saw Manny shooting stars during our stay. Cindy is a very helpful and caring host. She gave us updates on beach conditions and an outlook for our drive home. Overall one of our best Airbnb experiences. We will definitely be staying again.

My family of four had a wonderful long weekend at Grace’s beach home. We loved the short walk to the beach and early evenings in the hot tub. Good food places nearby. We will certainly keep the beach house in mind for our next OBX trip.

Chase’s place is a perfect get away for 2-4 people. It’s soooo close to the beach, just a 3 min walk over the dune. It was quiet and private and had great outdoor space including chairs on the upper deck and picnic table below to toss all the beach stuff when returning from the beach. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning and wi fi were strong! We were able to walk for coffee at Muffins and Scones and wine & beer at Cork and Bottle, both of which were fantastic! So refreshing to find an air bnb with all the furnishings in an area dominated by rental companies that require you to bring or rent your own linens. Thanks Chase!

When folks say this place is right on the water, they’re not kidding - the water comes right up to a small dune in front of the house. It’s pretty amazing. Lots of room to hang out and enjoy family time while taking in beautiful views - even if it rains, you’re gazing out over the ocean and the sound. Hot tub was awesome - right at eye level with the dunes and the ocean. Sunrises and sunsets are amazing. Lots of deck space on both sides. Seaside was a great host and proactive, giving us a heads up that high winds and rain were coming in so we came down in our jeep instead of a car. They checked on us several times, both by phone and in person. We had a great time!

Had a fantastic experience on the Outer Banks in Frisco. The house was beautiful, right on the beach - and with a hot tub on one of the decks. Highly recommend VacasaNC!

This place was amazing! Spacious, comfortable beds, beautiful location, grocery store, shops and restaurants nearby. The layout of the house was perfect for my adult children and their families to have privacy but allowed us to spend quality time together. There are plenty of games and puzzles for all age groups. Definitely want to go back next year!

Great location, perfect walk to the beach, almost like oceanfront. Great hang out space and kitchen. Lots of extra blankets, fan for the white noise people. Great outdoor shower and basketball hoop. Walk to the beach was quick and not too challenging. Clean pool and hot tub!!! Would definitely come back!!!

I hate to gush about Margot's home, I need to make sure it stays available when we return! When I say the pictures dont do this place juatice, I'm not exaggerating. The entire upstairs is just one LARGE open space. Kitchen with everything you could possibly need. An amazing reading nook with a view of the ocean. Two porches to see the ocean from and a porch to see the sound off the back! And the master bedroom has an amazing screened in porch that's oceanview. I love that the steps go directly to the enclosed dog lot so you can let your guys out safely. The super quick walk across the road and over the dune couldn't have been easier for the best beach access and the neighborhood is so very private and quiet. I cannot say enough about the communication with Margot being so quick and positive and she has the best housekeeper on the island for sure.

Great week stay!! Had some issues with the internet not working when we first arrived but Amanda was very responsive and called Spectrum to get it fixed the next day for us. Listing was as described. Lots of bugs and flies outside but to be expected since it was in the listing. Saw a few bears in the area and wildlife! Nice and secluded - about a 25 min drive into Nags head, not bad. Was able to utilize the grill which was nice to have a cookout with the family! Overall nice stay for the price and had a great vacay with the family

Great place tucked away and loved the dock to take my kayak out. Christo even generously allowed us to use their kayak and paddleboards. Nice little canal to paddle around. The house was perfect for our Moms trip. 8 ladies and all were happy with the house so that says a lot! Well equipped, clean, comfortable. Loved that we had a pool. We were only there 1 full day so didn't get a chance to use it. Also the outdoor shower was great to help keep sand out. Super close to Avon Pier and several restaurants. I would recommend Christo's home to anyone!

This is a lovely home in a great location. There is a beach access a few driveways down, restaurants and shops with in walking distance, and is on what felt like a safe quiet street. The house was just as described. Contrary to some other reviews, we found soft blankets available in every bedroom, fans in the closets, and a hair drier in the downstairs bathroom. We LOVED this sweet house and would definitely recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. For a family of 3 (including a 19 month old), this was the perfect vacation spot. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and swinging, having lunch outside, and our son was a big fan of the beach. There was ample space for us to spread out and the washer and dryer was a plus so we weren’t taking home as much laundry to do. The neighborhood is very walkable and there are great views both in the backyard and around the neighborhood. A nice quiet retreat. We did ask beforehand if there was a baby gate or high chair and got a response within an hour so we knew to pack those items. Very relaxing and a much needed break from the hustle of other more “touristy” beach spots. We will be back.

Beautiful condo surrounded by peaceful village of Hatteras. Beach is within walking distance and lots of little beach shops chock-full of things to buy for your kids! The host was super-responsive and pleasant to talk with. Thank you very much for our stay!

The cabana was very clean. We have stayed at several and this one was our favorite by far. The bed was comfortable, the view from the upper deck was great, and we were able to check into our rental hassle free. Vacasa was very accommodating. We hope to rent this cabana again! Awesome experience.

Great! Clean, next to the sea, would love to go back to stay.

A+. This is an absolutely PERFECT spot in Hatteras. Easy to find, extremely close to the beach with easy access, and just a dream of a beach house. These pictures actually don't do the house justice - it is ENORMOUS! The main floor is beautifully setup to be wide open, you could fit 7+ people in the kitchen at one time, the sitting area both upstairs and downstairs can accommodate many comfortably, decks all around are perfect, HUGE backyard for yard games and a picnic table for eating outside, great hot tub, and a cool elevated deck portion to look out over the roof in the back. TVs in every room, massive dining table fit our group easily (could probably fit 10+), linens and everything provided, big driveway. And the icing on the cake - Dennis the owner was communicative, helpful, and very friendly. It is clear this pad is their pride and joy and it has all the goofy beach decor you would expect in a proper beach house. Literally couldn't dream up a bad thing to say - PERFECT TRIP!

We had a great time here. Can't beat the location. Directly across the street from the short path to the beach. We liked the back entrance to the house. Our girls (14-19) loved the access to the beach and bike-ability to the local shops. Overall I'd highly recommend this property based on the spacious layout and proximity to fun things to do in Avon.

A great home to stay in on the ocean front. Have been renting for many years in OBX this was a great value and location. We had some trouble with door code , I was able to get new working code within 15 minutes at 230am. That is customer service at its best!
