Knot Three - Balcony View of ICW - Dog Friendly!
My wife and I are kayaking the ICW and needed a place near the water to wait out a storm. Gia’s place is PERFECTLY located! We landed right in front of the apartment and it was easy to pull the boat out with the little boat ramp. Also, it is just across the water from the famous restaurant at Coinjock marina that everyone had been telling us about. Gia have lots of great instructions on how to enter, though the local recommendations were over the top (I think this is encouraged by AirBnB, though). Her responses were immediate, which helped us quickly decide to book with her because she is so proactive. The apartment is just as described, and had everything we needed for our two night stay. We liked having the little balcony with a view of the water. That is a nice feature!! The building itself is in need of some maintenance, though that won’t affect your stay. It seems as if a bunch of improvement work is underway at the premises, meaning this place will be even more amazing soon!

Tiny Beach Getaway • Heart of Kill Devil Hills OBX
Joe’s place is a perfect little retreat at the beach for two. Compact, but has everything you need. The apartment is super clean and the little kitchen well stocked. Joe and his team were very responsive to our needs, and sent clear instructions from beginning to end. We had a wonderful time and will definitely stay again.

Boardwalk Sound Front Apartment Duck
We (and our dogs) had a lovely stay at Erin’s! The views were incredible, the location was so convenient for things to do close by, and the place was stunning. We will definitely be back!!

Pool | Stunning Ocean View | Balcony | MP 9
Our family had a wonderful time and wish we could have stayed longer. Loved that we had an ocean view and a short walk to the beach.

Stylish Waterfront/Marina Condo
We loved our stay at James’ condo. The location is away from the hustle and bustle but still close enough to get to everything within minutes. The condo itself is directly across from the pool, which was perfect for us. Our kids loved walking around the marina and watching all the boats. The condo is updated, very clean, and had everything we needed. James was very responsive with any questions we had. We can’t wait to go back!

No Ordinary Sunrise - Dog Friendly & Waterfront
We enjoyed our stay. The location is very convenient. Peaceful, few minutes drive from beautiful beaches. Very clean apartment with comfortable mattress. Equipped with anything you need. My husband and me had "aperitivo" every evening on the balcony watching the water and the sunset.

Canalfront, "Mariner's Retreat"
Tidy and small. Great spot to relax but a bit far from any activities. Make sure you have a car to drive. Overall a very great place.

Sound Front 2bdr Condo w/ boat slip!~Pirates Cove~
Such a great location and apt. Super cute and lots of kitchen equipment for making something at home or reheating leftovers. Close to downtown Manteo which was super fun. Love the beach island vibes of it all. The property is awesome. Very dog and kid friendly.

Bruce’s Retreat Waterfront Home Entire 3 Bd 2 Ba
We loved our stay at Bruce’s! Karin was great and helped us with all of our needs. The place was the perfect size for our two families with two toddlers and two babies. Plenty of space for the kids to play. The location was a 3 minute drive to Jockey’s Ridge and the Sand Dunes, and a three minute drive to beach access. It was close to everything we wanted to do and we enjoyed our stay!

The Salty Shoebox OBX Oceanfront.
Travis’s Place was wonderful! I can’t wait to come back the view from the bedroom kitchen/livingroom is absolutely beautiful! We saw dolphins jumping from the porch within 20 mins of being there! It was super clean! Plenty of space for may Family of 7!

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

DuckUtopia-Pool/HotTub/Private Dock/0.3mi to Beach
Gia’s DuckUtopia was everything we hoped it would be! There was something for everyone in my family. Although Gia provided lots of ideas and tips for the area, we loved just hanging out. The views of the sound were amazing. The pool and hot tub were perfect. My husband and son enjoyed the kayaks. My husband and daughter also enjoyed fishing for crab. Cleaning up with the outdoor shower after the beach was so easy. We loved all the amenities, especially the kitchen gadgets! All we needed to bring was food and towels for the beach. The place was clean and the neighborhood was quiet. We hope to return next year…to finish the ping pong match that got rained out! What a relaxing time! Thanks, Gia!

Oceanfront Luxury Penthouse w/Stunning Views!
The condo was very charming with new appointments and has a beautiful view of the ocean. We enjoyed sunrise each morning and the sound of the waves crashing each night. The kitchen was well equipped and had sufficient space for the two of us. It was also nice to have both a full and half bath as well as a door between the sink area and toilet/shower in the full bath. Having several options for coffee with espresso, drip, and a Keurig was a big plus A few observations we want to share. It would be very tight to fit 6 people in the place but you could comfortably have two couples or a couple with two kids with the second pair on the sleeper sofa. Overall it was a great stay for our anniversary weekend!!!

Salty Sunrise
Unpack, relax, and enjoy! Attention to detail is extraordinary! Everything you could ever want is at your fingertips. An elevated coastal experience with the view of the turquoise water and sand dunes awaits. It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee and spectacular sunrise. While the place is nothing short of spotless, it somehow still feels very welcoming and cozy. The decor is tasteful with impeccably well-selected pieces everywhere. We enjoyed the short walk on the boardwalk to the beach with a daily drink at the snack shack. My husband enjoyed a chance to chat about the weather, fishing, and local restaurant recommendations. We especially loved the restaurants along the sound with gorgeous sunsets. Our family of five with three young adults enjoyed every aspect of our week at the beach. Don’t miss this getaway!

Oceanfront Condo, Heated Pool & Hot Tub, Beachside
This was a second time staying at Salty Shenanigans and we had another fantastic stay! Beautiful upgrades were made this year to the unit. Condo is super clean and includes all of the amenities. Cost is worth having the ability to walk to the pool, beach and back again without getting in the car. Our 3 year old loves the splash pad and zero entry pool.

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.

Oceanfront OBX Condo - Suite Caroline
Rebecca is a great host. We felt right at home and the place is lovely. The entire condo was shining clean. It was a nice touch to have shampoos etc and towels ready. The walk in shower was a delight. The kitchen was well stocked and made it easy to cook. Yes overall the kitchen served our needs. We found the beds to be the best ever and we stay on ObX annually for 40 years!! Definitely great sleep. Thanks for a great week.

Oceanfront 2BR Renovated Condo Linens Included
This condo unit was perfect! Right on the beach with lots of beach supplies (chairs boogie boards umbrellas-is what we used) We sat on the balcony and watched dolphins every night. The walk to the beach is just down the stairs and you are there. We could steal out a good spot early on, go back up eat breakfast and go out at our leisure. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook our own meals. Steve was so helpful and went above and beyond in helping me navigate through not so favorable travel weather conditions and put me at ease with local weather updates! 10/10 would go back!!

Sunburst Ocean View Condo @ Nags Head Beach
I really appreciated the communication I had with Dave as we definitely walked to the local grill next-door and had an amazing dinner! I thought it was a great location, could see the ocean and sunrises and public access to the beach was just a short walk! It was great. Thanks Dave!

Atlantic Sunrise | Pool | Stellar Ocean View | MP9
This is our 3rd time staying here! Has a beautiful view, great access to the beach and a nice pool, which is so great to break up the day. We traveled with two adults and two children perfect amount of space. Little dated inside but has everything you need. We come for the location, because it’s so good! As other reviews have said there is a rental above you. We had one night of very late night noise but other than that it was a wonderful stay, we will be coming back!
