Heels in the Sand/Duck Waterfront
We loved Cheri’s place! It was exactly as advertised and everything we were looking for. The walk to the beach was very easy and the dock on the sound was really nice. I would recommend this property to anyone without any hesitation.

Home under oaks w/ private dock on Kitty Hawk Bay.
We absolutely loved our time! The location is beautiful and peaceful. The house itself was extremely comfortable and had a great kitchen! We loved being able to walk to the dock in the mornings and evenings. It was easy to get just about anywhere in OBX. The furniture was all very comfortable as well. Shannon was extremely prompt to respond when we had any question!

Hole in the Wall- Sound Side with Hot Tub!
Janelle and Adrian are absolutely wonderful hosts. Their home is beautiful and perfect. In every way the second you walk in you feel like you are on vacation and you don’t wanna leave. We actually extended our stay because the house was so beautiful and the location of the home was so perfect that we Just needed that one more night before we were ready to say goodbye. They are so quick to respond if you have a problem with anything and they immediately fix it for you I will never use any other Airbnb again when traveling to that area.

Lakeside Retreat **NO ADDED FEES!**
Frank and Martha are very responsive and easy to work with. The house is so relaxing you don't want to leave!

New 2 Bedroom w 5 Beds | Walk to Beach/Pool/Tennis
Had great time with my family Craig was great host. Everything was perfect and great location . Would love to come back again

Spectacular SOUND View, Heated Pool, Pets, Family
We had a great time at Sushma’s house. The kitchen was well stocked with spices and extras like dishwasher pods and trash bags. We also appreciated the availability of sand toys, boogie boards, beach umbrellas, pool floats and beach chairs. There were numerous decks to enjoy the sound side views. The house was spacious and very comfy. We split our time between the ocean, the pool, the sound side and even took the ferry to Ocracoke. Sushma was very responsive and a great host. We have rented from outer beaches realty in the past and this was a far superior experience.

Sound Front Cottage
Michelle’s cottage was clean and convenient. It was right on the sound with beautiful views and a private dock. The neighborhood was very quiet. Michelle was helpful and responsive and we look forward to staying there again in the future!

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!

Better at the Bay
We loved our stay at Karen’s place. The apartment is very comfortable, and the views are spectacular. I wish we had more time to enjoy the offerings. We hope to come back again!

Ky's HideAway
Lori’s place is very cute, clean, and accessible to everything you need in the obx. She’s a great communicator and you’ll have anything you could need there. Thanks Lori!

Waterfront Retreat (w/hot tub+dock)
The neighborhood was super nice and the people were friendly. The drive to the beach was not long at all. Great place to stay at!

“ The corner of beach and dreams “
This was such the perfect place for a weekend getaway! Super close to the beach and the sound and the bikes were a great additional!

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
The home was clean and instructions were very easy to follow. Since we were looking for a peaceful location on this trip, it fit the bill. The view was worth the cost. We knew there would be others around, as it was described accurately and clearly as a condo community. Supplies were very sufficient for us, and the owners were responsive. Enjoyed this trip!

Beautiful Waterfront Downtown Apartment Unit 2
Such a perfect slice of heaven with the sound of the Pasquotank lapping beneath you and watching the sunset and rise over the river! Perfect room with perfect accommodations!

Soundside Dreaming
host was friendly and responsive, the place was ready well in advance prior to check in time and allowed for early check in. We were notified we could check in early when ever we arrived. Neighborhood was very peaceful and beautiful just as photos represented. Overall experience was very positive.

Start planning your fall trip to the island !
This was our first trip to Ocracoke and it exceeded our expectations! The Grey Pearl was so clean and conveniently located, with a fantastic screened porch—we couldn’t have asked for nicer! Jennifer made communication easy and we had everything we needed at the cottage. It was well cared for and lovingly furnished. We’re looking forward to visiting again!

Coastal Cottage - A hidden treasure at the beach!
This was a spectacular place and we had an amazing time. Beautifully decorated. Comfortable. Well outfitted and supplied. Perfect location. Couldn’t ask for more!

Soundfront Cottage, Dock & Beautiful Sunset View
I had the pleasure of staying at Amy's place for a long weekend. Both her home and her spirit of customer service were exceptional. Shortly after making the reservation I had an issue with it (my fault). I reached out to Amy and she quickly helped me work it out in everyone's favor. Thank you Amy! Her home is very well situated, and the view from her backyard is incredible; it could be a special events location. Just incredible. But we were also able to get out and check out the many restaurants and beaches in the area. Amy reached out to us to check in several times, and proactively contacted us with restaurant recommendations, one of which we went to and had a great time. Would definitely head back.

1-Min walk to Beach! Ocean Views, Hot Tub
Stayed here for Memprial Weekend. Wasn't sure on how busy it would be, but turned out great. This house is literally just a quick minute walk to a private beach. Made watching the sunrise so easy to do. The house feels spread out, which is perfect for multiple families. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities. The AC cools the entire house, much needed on hot days. The beds were also super comfortable. Hot tub was such a nice way to end the day. James was super quick on answering any questions that popped up during my stay. This entire community is really nice with lots of places to walk the dog. Was hard to leave, can't wait to come back

Charming OBX Soundfront Home with Hot Tub & Kayaks
Another fantastic Spring Break at the Best Box! The nicest, cleanest, most relaxing rental we’ve ever found. Didn’t think the property could be any better than it was last year, but the owners have managed to make many creative and thoughtful upgrades. Enjoyed days at the beach, days on the sound, chartered a boat for fishing, ate tons of seafood, and saw the best sunsets right from the deck. Literally took advantage of everything in this house - from crabbing to fishing to baggo to flying kites to playing board games to darts and foosball. Oh and kayaking, relaxing in the hammock, and tubing, too.

Turtle Haven Ocean Views! Large Deck + Bikes&Grill
This was a cozy little spot for my family and I to stay while visiting OBX. Easy access to the beach and stores. We absolutely loved feeding the turtles some bread from the back deck.

Lake Front/Pool Access/Pet Friendly/Wifi
Loved my stay !!! Beds were super comfy! And the house was super nice with a 10 min walk to the beach !

OBX Tucked Away-1 level-Sound front-Beach 1 mile
Tanya's place was in a beautiful, quiet setting. We really enjoyed viewing the wildlife and kayaking. The house itself is spotless, comfy and plenty spacious. Her place had everything you could possibly need from pantry staples, beach towels, sunscreen, dental floss, etc. We were quite impressed with her thoughtfulness and attention to detail. By far the best Airbnb we've stayed at. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Loved this place ♥️
