Vacation rentals with a kayak in Outer Banks

El Sol was located centrally to where we wanted to go. The house offered plenty of household items that aren't always furnished. Our host Sarah was quick to respond/reply when needed. Fun family memories were made!

Scout's Harbor accommodated our large group very well. Plenty of space for sleeping, hanging out, and cooking. Views of the sound were beautiful. We had a great stay and appreciated Gia's responsiveness.

We enjoyed our stay! Rona was the most responsive host I’ve ever had. Lots of stuff for kids to do at the house. All we needed for a great OBX vaca for our family of 4 and pup

I spent a weekend at this rental with my husband and 2 kids (5, 3yrs old). It was absolutely better than expected. The home was clean and well stocked. I’ve stayed at many other rentals in OBX through various platforms and this has been my favorite one yet. The house was super clean and nicely updated. The furniture was comfortable and practical. The dining chairs were easily wiped clean which was nice especially traveling with little kids. I wasn’t expecting to use the Colington Harbour amenities, but that ended up being a big hit with the family. It was really nice hitting up the pool in the evening after spending the entire morning at the beach. The kids loved watching the boats come in. The host Dana also was very responsive. If it’s available for our next OBX trip then we will for sure be back!

This is a beautiful home with huge windows looking out on the sound. We loved going out on the dock and watching the sun set and taking out the kayaks for a morning paddle. We are already plotting our next visit.

Amazing home! We loved it and highly recommend it. Beautiful + perfect proximity to beach, stores, etc.

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!

There was plenty of room for the four of us! Everything was clean and tidy. While you are still pretty close to a lot of other houses, you have views of the ocean in between, and on the stormy nights, we could hear the waves crashing on the beach. The house is also very close to an ice cream shop and The Froggy Dog restaurant, which serves an excellent dinner menu. The house also provides beach chairs, sand toys, kayaks, etc. so you don't have to bring anything but your beach towel! Overall we had a pleasant stay.

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.

Amazing time at Joseph's place. We loved that it kept with the originality of the first homes built in the area (A-frames) and paid homage to the history with the pirate theme! Very well decorated, super comfortable furniture, and all the amenities needed! Everything looked quite new. We loved the extra downstairs fridge for bait or anything else that might be needed to be stored. The kayak was a blast! The neighbors were wonderful and so very friendly. Loved their personal recommendations for local spots or things to add to the bucket list. The pool was a great addition as well and got plenty of use after a morning of battling waves at the beach! We also loved the folder with extra info, places to stop, and any emergency number needed. We loved the Friday check-ins, and being able to bring our dog was a huge plus. The house exceeded all expectations and the view was positively beautiful! The treasure hunt was a fantastic extra touch!! Would definitely stay again!!

Very secluded and peaceful. Wish the weather had been better throughout our stay but it was very nice to wake up to the sound of the waves and nature. I will say if you have a toddler to make sure to take a safety gate. He made it a challenge wanting to climb the stairs so we went out to buy some for our stay. WiFi is spotty (which is a good thing) but I didn’t realize none of my messages were sent until this morning. My husband and son enjoyed some fishing and caught a few stingrays. I would love to go back later in the year.

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.

The house was perfect for our needs and our dog felt right at home. The beach wasn’t very far away and the location of the home felt like it was in the middle of everything. Randy was a great host and only a message away.

We had a very pleasant stay at Amy’s home nestled in a very quiet and serene sound side neighborhood. We found Just Enough to be more than enough for 2 and a dog! Loved the screened porch and spent almost every evening out there just relaxing and watching the storms on rain days. We were a very short drive to some really great restaurants- loved the sandwiches from Pamlico Deli and steamed shrimp from Tavern 12! Great nearby coffee shops, gift shops, and bakeries (get an Apple Ugly from Orange Blossom!). The jeep rental spot is one road over so that was convenient for our beach off-roading day. For one first time visitor (2 if you count the dog), and one returning to OBX after many years, we couldn’t have been happier with our choice to stay down in Frisco at Just Enough. Highly recommend this rental and we would absolutely return on a future visit to the Outer Banks. Thank you for everything!

We had such an amazing time here! She was quick to respond and the place was beautiful! The backyard was perfect for our toddler to play in and I really appreciated that there was a baby gate for upstairs. We will definitely be coming back!

The perfect place for my families trip to the beach. Beautiful property and great location with lots to do and a quick and easy drive to the beach!

Perfect little cabin, great location. My family of four, along with our two dogs, stayed here for our Outer Banks trip. Everything was just as described and very clean. Very quiet neighborhood with only a 10 or 15 minute drive to the beach. I recommend taking advantage of the kayaks and paddle the short distance to the sandbar. The outdoor shower is a unique experience and we preferred it over the indoor shower. My teenage son enjoyed sleeping in the screened in bedroom, especially on the cooler nights when it rained. Check-in/out is simple and the host was very responsive to any inquiries we had. We highly recommend this rustic cabin.

We loved this beautiful home! Beautifully decorated-calm vibe. So cozy and comfortable. I’m also an Airbnb host and I can tell you this space is wonderful! Well worth the price point! Don’t miss out on the fire pit. Something about a fire with your family by the water…it’s truly magical. I highly recommend this place. You won’t be disappointed. Kathy is kind and accommodating. Super responsive and easy to communicate with. Can’t say enough. 10/10.

I stayed at the Cabin for ten days with a group of six..The place was incredible! Nice house very clean and the surroundings with plenty of entertainment provided by the host!
