Recent Outer Banks guest reviews

We were happy to have towels, sheets, bikes, privacy, bedrooms and bathrooms on multiple floors, beach chairs, being close to restaurants, and shopping-some we could walk to. Our stay was wonderful and relaxing. We love the beautiful trees.

When looking to rebook in OBX we will be coming back here for sure! Thank you for sharing the beautiful condo.
Kathryn Z. | Jul 2025
Our stay was so wonderful at this charming home. It’s everything I love about an old school beach cottage! Such cute character and wonderful gathering spaces throughout the home. Amazing decks and outdoor space and an outdoor shower - personal favorite! Close to the beach - easy walk - and close to food and shops! Such a great week. Can’t wait to come back.

Whether you're watching the sunrise over the ocean, kiteboarding over soundside waters, or scaling a sand dune at sunset, the Outer Banks isn't just a vacation—it's a tradition you’ll return to again and again.

Why Vacation in the Outer Banks?

The Outer Banks delivers everything people love about the coast—without the crowds or commercial bustle. Its chain of barrier islands is known for wide beaches, natural preservation, and small-town charm.

You’ll find a balance of relaxation and recreation, with activities ranging from long beach walks and shell hunting to deep-sea fishing charters and hang gliding lessons. It’s the kind of place where mornings start with ocean breezes and an iced coffee on the porch, and end with a crab boil and a golden-hour stroll in flip flops.

And with a wide array of beach towns—each with its own vibe—you can find the perfect stay whether you want remote, walkable, rustic, or resort-like.
