Direct Beach Access, Clean & Renovated + EZ Cart
We had the best weekend at this property! It was so clean, excellent location/ quick walk to the beach, and the host included so many thoughtful details to the space and our stay that made our trip wonderful. We will book again the next time we are in the OBX!

Gone Fission OBX: Updated Family Beach Box
We had a great stay! Very nice house. House and contents were as described. Beautiful quiet place. Ashley and Courtney responded quickly if we had questions. Will definitely stay again if available when we come back. Susan

Flat Top Bungalow
We enjoyed a great time at Laurie's place. Everything was as described in listing. She was available on site and friendly.

Chloe's Cottage - 7 minute walk to the beach
This place is perfect! Tucked away from the touristy areas, yet only 7 mins to beaches. House is kept in immaculate condition, even the garage was clean and able to keep my car in there. We loved that they left a pamphlet of their favorite places and we hit a few of them, and they were indeed awesome. If we head back to Duck, we will be booking Chloes Cottage again!

Sea La Vie- 800ft to beach, hot tub, dog friendly!
We had a fantastic stay here! The home is beautifully decorated and modern, an easy walk to two public beach access points, and easily walkable to a few coffee shops, ice cream, etc. The updated bathrooms felt like a hotel, kitchen was large and well-stocked, and living room was a cozy spot for us all to hang out- perfect size for our family of 4 with two teenagers. We loved being able to bring our pup- most pet-friendly rentals are not this beautiful, so thank you! Finally, Nichole and Fady were super easy to work with and went above and beyond, offering quick suggestions for local services that were needed. We would definitely rent again when back in Nags Head!

The Salty Shoebox OBX Oceanfront.
Wonderful views and easy access to the water. Good place with young children. (We had a toddler and a baby as part of our group.) The sitting area in the master suite was a great place to play board games and chat in the evenings without disturbing the little ones sleep. Great deck with sturdy chairs of the correct height to see the ocean over the railing. Lots of restaurants nearby and grocery stores and even a Target less than 2 miles away.

Urban Boutique Beach House. Hot Tub. EV charger
This house was so clean and spacious! We had five adults and a dog and were so comfortable there. The house is a short drive to the beach which was very convenient. Sasha is so thoughtful about how she’s decorated the house and the supplies she provides. We had everything we needed down to a recipe book holder and a USB agnostic charging pad. Sasha thought of everything that I usually leave in private comments for AIRBNB owners. The linens were very clean and the towels were fluffy! As a heads up, the three bedrooms are upstairs with one being a primary suite. Downstairs is the area with the dark blue couches. The layout worked great for us!

Cooper's Suite Charity - SPCA Supporters/Donators
Russ's place was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed and even more. Russ was super kind, he greeted us upon arrival and provided a lot of information for the area. He made sure to check if we needed anything while leaving us full privacy. In short, we can only recommend this place!
Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Kitty Hawk

Harmony Hut
Harmony Hut is just as described, and the backyard was perfect for my dogs. The host, Mark, is kind, quick to respond, wants his guests to enjoy their stay, and is just a good person in general. If you are looking for a place to stay with pets in the OBX, you’ve found it. Stop hesitating…. You will love it here!!

On Cloud 9 | Pet Friendly | Fully Stocked | MP7
We really like this house and it is a quick drive to beach access. Quiet neighborhood, kids road the bikes provided to Wright brothers memorial, peaceful area for a run and could see the sound side during our run. Enjoyed the backyard fire pit. Living room area was very comfortable. Loved the porch for relaxing. The only downside was the beds are very noisy. I think the box springs are the only problem. But this didn’t ruin our time. We really liked it is pet friendly. And that linens and towels were provided. The kitchen is very well stocked and Food lion was right down the road for groceries. We would definitely stay here again.

The Seagull's Nest: Away from the Maddening Crowd!
Our weekend stay here was fantastic! Very comfortable and quiet while remaining close to nearby attractions (beach, restaurants, etc.). The shower was incredible and the dog-friendly amenities were a really nice touch (doggy treats and an existing food/water bowl was so kind and made us feel extra welcome). Shelley was very responsive and ensured we had everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in the outer banks.

Pet Friendly, Fenced Backyard, Close to Beach
I appreciated how nice the stay was on such short notice. She had everything ready to go ahead of time and was very responsive to our communication.

Modern Beach Studio Outer Banks
Great location with lots to do around. We enjoyed the house and spending time at the beach! The hosts were easy to communicate with. Would definitely return!

Pet friendly beach cottage- 5 min walk to beach
Very clean - spotless kitchen, bathrooms and beds. Lots of amenities and little extras - like trash bags, coffee, hand soap, etc. comfortable beds. Walking distance to the beach. Close to Duck.

Dog Friendly - Between the Highways
The place was great and so was Terra! Our only regret was my bf got hurt on the beach running so we had to cut our trip short. VERY easy walk to the beach from the house no drive necessary. Great if you’re a beach bum like we are 🤗

Soundside Sunshine KDH
The home was great and Carrie had everything possible in it to make it feel like home!
Vacation rentals with pools in Kitty Hawk

The LOVE Boat !
Loved our stay on the Love Boat! It was quiet and peaceful, and very clean! Instructions provided by Gia were perfect and the clubhouse perks were a plus! We will be visiting again so next time we can take advantage of the pool and kayaks during our stay.

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.

Scarborough Lane Hideaway - Beach, Pool, Bikes!
The place was exactly what we were looking for. We were in town for the Jazz Fest which was across the street, so it was perfect. The beach was a little bit of a walk, but wasn't the primary reason for our visit so it was fine. The place is really cute and comfortable.

Heathsville OBX - 100 steps to the beach!
We cannot say enough great things about our stay! Believe all of the amazing reviews— there is definitely a reason Pat and Chuck have so many! Pat was extremely welcoming and began communicating prior to our stay. She was prompt and was waiting for us when we pulled in. Chuck was just as friendly and so easy to sit and have conversations with. They welcomed you in with open arms. The place was so clean and smelled wonderful! It may not be the biggest of spaces, but it was perfect for two and Pat literally thought of EVERYTHING you could need during your stay. Forgot your toothpaste? She’s got it. Forgot your sunscreen? She’s got it. Need a beach chair or extra towel? She’s got those too! Need a snack? There’s plenty and a couple drinks also! Looking for recommendations of things to do, places to eat, etc? She’s got folders with everything for you to look through. We cannot wait to visit again! Hands down the best Airbnb experience we have ever had. Thanks again Pat & Chuck!!

Waterfront Luxury Beach Home-Sunset View,Spa Baths
Thank you Meredith .. such a blessing! My family had a great time and loved your place. We highly recommend staying here. Blessings to you :)

Oceanfront-"Sun-Sational Setting" in heart of Duck
Thanks, Rick. We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

Oceanview,private POOL,AWESOME THEATER.Family Fun!
Great place. For its size and value, it literally has a ton of great features . The theatre room is amazing, especially with having kids. Has a beach volleyball court! The arcade has thousands of games and brought me back 25 years (Pac-Man, Mario, Galaga, Street Fighter, and 1,000’s more). We went when it typically would not be considered swimming weather, however, we had the option to have the pool heated at least a day or so before arriving and it made a huge difference and allowed for my girls and I to swim in early April (and I did jump in the ocean to compare and it was a 25-30 degree difference! Lol). The owner is very quick to respond, has the instructions available prior to arrival, recommendations for food, churches, , and activities. If you don’t mind a 3-5 minute stroll to the beach, it is honestly not that far away. Walmart, Target, Grocery stores, putt putt, dunes, Wings, fishing pier, are very close by. The aquarium was a 20 min drive but was worth it. Fun experience.

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!

Your guide to Kitty Hawk
Introduction
Made famous by the Wright Brothers, whose celebrated flight put the area on the map in 1903, Kitty Hawk’s place in history often precedes its reputation as a quiet beach town. For the 3,500 people who live here, and those who’ve made the visit, it’s so much more than a landmark. As one of North Carolina’s barrier islands known collectively as the Outer Banks (or OBX), Kitty Hawk is a traditional seaside village with generous beach access, a small residential community supporting mom-and-pop businesses, and a vast forest reserve. The reasons the Wrights chose the area for their flight experiments — soft, sandy beaches; gentle hills; frequent breezes — make Kitty Hawk ideal for taking in the natural scenery, and welcome visitors to experience its local culture year-round.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Kitty Hawk
Kitty Hawk experiences a humid subtropical climate due to its position along the Gulf Stream. This means that there is little variance in precipitation from season to season, with hot, humid summers and mild winters. During the summer, the heat index can push temperatures to 88 degrees Fahrenheit, though Kitty Hawk’s naturally breezy air brings some welcome relief. During winter, temperatures seldom drop below the upper 30s, and typically hover in the 50s. The entire Outer Banks region is susceptible to hurricanes during tropical storm season (midsummer to early fall), so if you’re planning to book one of the area’s vacation rentals during this time, pay especially close attention to local weather forecasts, and keep a close eye on storm systems developing in the Gulf.
Top things to do in Kitty Hawk
Southern Shores
For decades, this area — which blends into Kitty Hawk’s northern border — was considered part of Kitty Hawk. It wasn’t until a land-parcel purchase in the 1940s that Southern Shores began to develop an identity of its own. These days, it’s a popular stopover thanks to its wonderfully quiet beaches, and quaint restaurants and shops.
Kill Devil Hills
Just south of Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills is a lively beach town lauded for its sandy beach, wealth of watersports (surfing and kiteboarding are particularly popular, given the wind), and nightlife. Most famously, Kill Devil Hills marks the spot where Orville and Wilbur Wright took their first successful flight, commemorated by the large Wright Brothers National Memorial in the heart of town.
Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve
More than half of Kitty Hawk’s geographical area comprises the Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve, an 1,890-acre maritime forest along the western border of the town. The topography varies from deciduous forest to freshwater wetlands, with plenty of critters — racoons, owls, river otters — to spot in between.
