Donna and Pat were wonderful hosts for our long-weekend getaway for our anniversary the first weekend in May. When we arrived, we were greeted by Donna who had a warm smile and a cute little chipoodle named Elsie. Donna showed us where we were going to be staying, made sure we had everything we needed, showed us how the Apple TV worked, and even gave us a few suggestions for dinner. The house and property are gorgeous. As Donna told us, the house is brand new, it actually looked like they were still working on finishing touches. The house looks out onto the sound and there is a beautiful dock that leads right onto the water. The rental rooms are on the bottom floor of their house and Pat & Donna live on the top two floors. We rarely heard them during our stay and when we did see them they were polite and not overbearing. The listings show there are three private rooms on the floor, all with their own bathrooms, which open up into a main living area. We were the only people renting the weekend we stayed, but we can imagine that having other guests in the other rooms would not be intrusive at all. It’d be perfect for three couples or several friends to rent out all three as well. The bedroom, bathroom, living area, and kitchenette were immaculately clean and were exactly as described in the listing and photos. Our room had a king-sized bed and opened up onto the large porch that looked out onto the sound, where we spent every evening watching the sun set. We enjoyed lots of things about our stay at Pat & Donna’s as well as in Waves. Pat & Donna are kiteboarders and we got to watch Pat go out one early afternoon. Waves is the perfect location as it’s nestled south of busy Nags Head and Kitty Hawk, but there was still plenty around as far as shops, restaurants, and gas stations. From this location we were able to drive south to Ocracoke one day, north to Kill Devil Hills another, and one day just walking the 5 minute walk across the street to the ocean-side beach. Waves is relatively quiet which allowed us to sleep in each morning and wake up to the breeze of the sound. We were able to research and plan our days out thanks to the Wi-Fi in the house and were able to bring back leftovers thanks to the fridges in the kitchenette. Overall, Donna & Pat were wonderful hosts and we would certainly stay here again and recommend it to anyone. They were gracious hosts who wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. The house was beautiful and was a perfect retreat when we wanted to be in as well as a secure place for us to leave our things while we were out. You won’t find a better price for a better place with such nice hosts.

We definitely enjoyed our get away to the outer banks and Donna was a great host. We had a good balance of privacy and communication when we needed it. Things were exactly as they were described and the room, house and common areas were lovely! Would definitely recommend staying here! Thanks, - Tom

Everything went perfect - the accommodations were very comfortable and Donna made everything very easy. Area was very peaceful and centrally located - perfect!

Donna was very nice! The room was private and clean, and the location was perfect for any activities you can think of in the outer banks. Hopefully next time it won't rain 6 inches!

Donna was super easy to work with and made us feel right at home. We absolutely loved the location and the space itself was exactly as pictured, if not, better! I would recomend this space without a doubt.

A must stay. Very relaxing.

Donna and Pat are such great hosts. Their house is great, well thought thru and our room was spacious so was the bathroom. The balcony and pool Terrasse are cool and launching the kite from the garden just makes it perfect. We will visit again!

My girlfriend and I had a great time with Donna and Patrick. The place was magnificent, we really enjoyed hanging out on the dock and canoeing. We definitely want to come back again.

Wonderful location in a quieter part of OBX. The king size bed was a real treat and very comfortable. Donna was great! She stayed in close contact with us via text, was very responsive, and graciously accommodated our very late arrival. Highly highly recommend!!

We had a great time in our (too short) stay in Waves. Donna was a good and gracious host. The room was excellent. My wife and I enjoyed our time there greatly.

Donna was a wonderful host. She kept in touch as we were entering town, but was flexible on check-in time and available whenever we arrived. She gave us a quick tour and some recommendations for food in the area, and then left us to enjoy the space. The house was beautiful- clean, functional, nicely decorated, and located right on the sound. The shared living room and kitchenette was comfortable and quiet with a great view of the sound. For the price and the area, we were very impressed. We very much enjoyed our one-night retreat with Donna.

Our host Donna was welcoming from the get go! She was there to greet us when we arrived and was always accessible by phone when I needed something. Everything was accurately described in her listing and the accommodations were beyond our expectation. Waves is a beautiful area on the sound and Donna's place is in the perfect location, accessible to everything.

Guter Platz. Toller Gastgeber. Beeindruckend. Wir haben das Haus mit Zugang zu klingen. Es ist riesig. Unser Zimmer und das Bad waren geräumig und sehr sauber. Wir teilten Küche, Wohnzimmer und Terrasse mit 2 anderen Gästen. Am letzten Abend hatten wir ein eindrucksvolles Naturlichtshow kostenlos auf der Terrasse. Donna und Patrick sind tolle Gastgeber uns mit den lokalen Empfehlungen bereitstellt. Sie teilten interessante Spezialitäten leben auf der Outerbanks.

Donna very patiently set us up there even though we arrived quite late. Lovely place just on water with art Donna and Patrick have made. Pointed us to some of the best spots around. One of our best stays ever.

Everything was exactly as expected. This place is brand new ! The bed is quite comfortable and the whole stay was superb. Donna and her husband make sure you have all you need for a very pleasant stay....would definitely go back ! Michael PS the food at all the local restaurants was very good I must say :)

Donna & Patrick are wonderful hosts and lovely people. Our stay was a brief two days, to attend a nearby ashes dedication of our 12 year old nephew. This was our first visit to the OBX. It was sentimental to visit our nephew's favorite vacation spot. The beauty of the house, the Sound, and watching Donna & Patrick kiting off their pier, inspired new memories and plans to return. The rooms and common living room area worked great in accommodating myself, 2 young children and grandmother. This would be my first pick of places to stay again.

Great house, clean and modern with lots of space to enjoy with a group of friends. Great location if you like a relatively quiet place within walking distance from restaurants.

This spacious and modern "open-concept" home with its chef's kitchen is perfect for gatherings of family and friends. There is also a lower-level sitting area and game room where guests can retreat to. The views from the grand windows were stunning. There is a nearby vendor where kayaks, paddle boards and bikes can be rented.

Great location, near the beach! Chase was generous in lending us his bbq and in accommodating our extra guest.

This was our first time at the Outer Banks and a first time using AirBnB. We were delightedly pleased with how wonderful everything was. Chase was a great host, recommending restaurants, sites and things for us to do. The place was clean, comfortable and centrally located. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises and exquisite sunsets. If you are looking to relax, enjoy the ocean and have great food this area is for you! We can't wait to come back!

Very simple place in a very nice part of the island, kid friendly with a beach access right infront of the house! We loved the place and we will be returning soon !

Chase is a great host and was very accommodating during our stay. He gave us great advice for things to do in the area and even had paddle board for us to use. Easy check-in and great communication as well. The beach house is perfect too. Exactly what we wanted when looking for a beach get away. Literally a couple steps away from the beach an you can hear the ocean from the deck and feel the breeze. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a beach getaway.

Cute house with a side porch and front balcony. You can see the dunes from the living room and hear the ocean when you step outside. Chase was a really great host. Friendly, Good communication, and very accommodating. It takes two min to walk to the beach from the house. Would definitely stay again, it worked out well for our family of 4 (two kids ages 2 & 5).

Great place in an awesome location right off the beach. Chase was attentive and gave suggestions for the area.

We liked this place so much, we had to come back again! Mandy is very friendly, knows the area super well, gives great tips and communication and has a very clean and well-thought out place! It has something for everyone - an outdoor shower to clean sand off before going inside, high speed internet and a Roku one can use when needing some inside time. Very comfortable bed, good kitchen and super clean all around! A very nice little place to stay that's away from the more touristy spots. Highly recommended!

Mandie and her family were very welcoming and friendly. The apartment was clean and adorable. Great location. Would def stay here again if we come back to the area.

Happy Ours was a great place to stay. Cute and cozy

Mandy is a great host. Super friendly, helpful and relaxed. Nice little one-bedroom place--new, clean, tidy, comfy and everything you need. We like staying away from the hustle & bustle of the main tourist lodgings so this was great for us. Tucked away on a quiet street in old Avon. A short walk (a few blocks) to the small harbor on the sound--great for watching sunsets with the locals!--and a short drive (3/4 mile) to the Avon Pier and beach access.

Great place! Awesome location

We had a great visit at Happy ours! Amanda has thought of everything that a guest might possibly need. The apartment was very clean and well kept. We would definite stay again!

Amanda is a great host. My parents really enjoyed their time at her place, thank you!

Mandy was a wonderful host. She made sure everything we need to know was covered and she provided more than we expected. I appreciated the fact that she asked us not to hurry checking out because she had no check inn that day.

Jared has a beautiful home, which is very accommodating. The layout is gorgeous, the bed slept great, and he communicated very well. The private balcaony is nice, as well as the view. The jacuzzi was a plus!

Great views and close walk to the beach. Jared was helpful with everything and the room was amazing. The hot tub was also very nice!

The house is directly on the sound and the walk to the beach takes minutes. Our room was clean and the guest area was comfortable. Coffee was provided which was really nice, and there was a pool table in the common area. The hot tub was great and we enjoyed using the kayaks provided! Jared was really nice and easy to talk to. We stayed for a whole week and had an excellent trip. I recommend staying here if you want a quiet vacation on the water!

Jared is considerate and helpful. He provided a lot of useful local info, especially if you are a kite boarder!

Great location for kiters in a very clean and organized house. Jared is a warm and friendly host. Thanks. Can't wait to come back.

There was nothing not to like about my stay at Kiteborn! Perfect communication, great house with spectacular sunset views, safe neighborhood, excellent restaurants nearby, gorgeous beaches, comfortable room and bed, hot coffee available every morning, and especially Jared's friendly welcome and availability, if needed. I will definitely recommend Kiteborn to friends and family!

Awesome place to stay if you'll be in Rodanthe! No complaints at all. Had a great time riding the bikes and taking the kayak out.

Jared is a great host. Beautiful home on a dead end street. Walkway is 3 minutes to the beach. Jacuzzi on patio. Pier from deck out to the sound. Excellent location in Mirlo beach for surfers, kiteboarders. Close to Oregon inlet fishing center. I will be back.

Jenni's place was exactly what we were looking for. A quick walk to the beach on a beautiful February day, and close to places to eat. Jenni is very communicative and easy-going. I would recommend her place to anyone who wants to visit OBX.

It was easy to communicate with Jenni. A few back and forth questions when we got there and then we were on our own. The apartment was cozy, right for two people to rest and recuperate after a day of exploring. Safe neighborhood. Great location central to south OBX.

Such a lovely, peaceful, relaxing stay at Jenni's place. This beach house is in the absolute perfect location for relaxation and near solitude but still has all your nearby necessities; COFFEE, Food Lion and great restaurants, some of which are open till fairly late. You have just about everything you need in this cozy apartment to make a homemade meal or you can always dine out on a budget. This was my first trip to OBX and I came during the week in early August and I felt like I had the beach nearly to myself. Jenni's place is so close to the water, we were easily able to jump out of bed and take a quick walk over to watch the sunrise and hit the sheets again afterward... just so nice and convenient. Jenni is extremely helpful and responsive to any and all questions and concerns.

Our scheduled stay was cut short due to a tropical storm but Jenni was a great communicator and helpfully modified our reservation as we waited to see what the weather would do. The home was fine and the location was great. Overall a good experience.

The Vintage Mermaid apartment was very clean and well-equipped. We loved how close it was to the beach and how quiet the neighborhood was. Jenni was very quick to respond to any questions I had and was very welcoming. We felt safe and at home. Thank you for a great weekend! We hope to revisit again soon.

Fantastic little get away, stones throw away from the beach. Jenni was extremely accommodating and responds quickly. Thanks again for the lovely stay.

The stay was great in Avon Private and close to the beach, Jenny offers offers to help you with any questions within moments.

My mom and I stayed at Jenni's cottage for one night on our way through the OBX, and her place is every bit as wonderful as it looks and sounds! It's centrally located, literally next to delicious restaurants, coffee and one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever been on (and I live in California so that's saying something!). And the cottage itself is exactly as pictured with lots of wonderful space and an extremely homey atmosphere. Jenni was also a very kind and gracious host- because we got in late she left a light on for us, and she also messaged in the morning making sure things were good. Thank you so much for sharing your space with us Jenni! We hope to be back next year

We loved the decor of the place. Mark is very artistic person and it shows in his place. We liked it very much.

We had a fabulous stay on Hatteras Island. Avon was the perfect quiet beach getaway I had hoped for, and the Surf Museum provided a relaxing, comfortable, quiet space to return. Mark is very personable with great recommendations for the area. He is a very talented, kind spirit. We brought a cooler and cooked all of our meals in with the supplies provided. The accommodation was spacious enough for two, my friend slept in the bedroom, and me on an air mattress I had brought from home in the living room space. AC worked great, too good really. The space has a few finishing touches needing to be completed, but nothing that inhibits a comfortable stay. We felt safe and welcomed. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

A unique, quirky, lovely abode... and a welcoming host. What more could one ask for? Thank you, Mark!

Mark is a cheerful, welcoming host. The location is easy to find, 5 minute walk to the beach, quiet and quite secluded. It is a good value. I do want to point out a few of things that other reviewers did not mention that might help you know what to expect. Again, great host. Place was super clean, bed was comfortable, nice sheets. I travel with my own pillow so can't say how his pillows were. I found a towel in the living room with the beach towels that I used for bathing. Sofa and chair comfortable, and there is a bench on the porch. Those will be the only places for you to sit, or lay. Unfortunately for me, it rained the evening I stayed there, and I had no option but to sit inside on the sofa instead of out under the covered porch enjoying the fresh cool air, which would've been lovely and refreshing. Another issue is the lack side/coffee tables. In the living room I had to put my books, snack, glass of wine on the floor. In the bedroom there is only the bed. No place to put my eyeglasses (blind without them), phone, book; there is no place to put your clothing, except keep it in your suitcase, because there is no dresser, no hooks, no hanger, no closet. Only a bed. There are no curtains anywhere either, so if you don't like to wake up with the sun, you might have to find something to drape over the window. (luckily I love to wake up at dawn). There is no way to listen to music, no internet, no tv. And if that's what you like, then thats great. I'm just giving you a heads up because these details are missing from the reviews and they might help you figure out if it's the place for you. When someone described it as sparse, indeed that's a good description. I was thinking more along the lines of simple, but sufficiently furnished, which would appeal to me, as well as someone else, more.

The Surf Museum is in a prime spot in the Outer Banks and is set up well for a beach-goer's weekend. The street is quiet and there are restaurants and pier all within walking distance. And for SUP folks, this is the perfect spot. We visited the weekend after Hurricane Matthew and Mark went all out to prepare the Surf Museum for us. Unfortunately the rest of the OBX were affected and not much was open to enjoy. Mark made sure to recommend places we could visit while we were there.

Great place with beautiful and tranquil location! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything is clean, comfortable, well-decorated, and well taken care of. We had everything we needed. Mark was very helpful and responded very quickly to my questions. We would definitely recommend staying here!

The surf museum was the PERFECT location for our beach weekend getaway. Tucked off the main road, it was a 5 minute walk to the beach (just across the street), and in close proximity to a number of amazing restaurants and bars. Mark was a great host, who directed us to a good spot for live music Saturday night. There was coffee, tea, and ice cream in the kitchen for us when we arrived, and the apartment was clean with fresh sheets and towels for us. The perfect spot for 2 people looking for a relaxing weekend at the beach!

I needed a break from it all, and when I saw the location of the Surf Museum I knew it was the spot. Easy to book, check in/out friendly, clean and quiet. Perfect for reconnecting with nature. I really dig the vibe and would stay again.

The house was beautiful, peaceful in the small peaceful town of Waves. Everything was clean. Super comfy bed. Their property is right on the sound beautiful view from the bedroom we rented out. But best of all a very gracious host, who had everything we could think of covered. Gave us all the freedom we wanted, but also made herself totally available if needed. Words and perfect reviews still dont capture how great Donna and her HOME are, she truly made us as comfortable as if we were in our homes.

Donna was attentive and accommodating to our needs. The room had plenty of privacy and we felt at home. Donna really puts a lot of effort into welcoming you and it shows. The house was in a stunning location and the private dock makes you feel like a local.

Donna and Patrick are exceptional hosts! Very gracious and warm. The bedroom I rented was great, very well furnished and clean. The rest of their home is beautiful. This place has to be one of the very best deals in all of Hatteras! For those on a kitesurfing trip or taking kiteboarding lessons in the area I would highly consider staying here during your trip!

Donna is a great host, and the beach house is exactly as described! I would definitely stay there again!

Donna is very easy to communicate with, and she is always available through the internet or text. Her directions to the house was extremely clear even for first timers to the Outer Banks. The building is very new, clean, and nicely decorated. Donna is a well-experienced host that knows exactly what to provide in both facilities and advice for the island. We enjoyed our stay in Master Suite #3, which is across from rooms #1 and #2 so we had a little extra privacy and quietness, although we can still hear from upstairs. The porch has a great view of the sound, and we even walked up to the boardwalk and watched the kiteboarders. Our stay was short, but I absolutely recommend Donna's place for your Outer Banks visit!

My wife and I had a wonderful time in the Outer Banks, Donna gracious host. We got stuck in traffic and got to Donna's place late. Donna made herself available the whole time and made every effort possible to help us find her place. Once there she gave us an detailed orientations of her place and the surrounding area. Her place was as it was described in Airbnb. She and her husband decorated the living area with their artwork. The room was very comfortable. I would recommend this place to others.

Donna was a wonderful host, accommodating our late check-in and taking care of us all weekend. The house was beautiful and just as advertised. The set-up is great for friends or family looking to stay close together, but have privacy as well. We would definitely return. Thanks, Donna!

Donna was very attentive in making sure we were enjoying our stay and checking if there was anything we needed. Room was great and very quiet. The house set up was well thought out and perfect for guests to have not just a room but a relaxing and inviting environment to enjoy their stay. Thank you again!

We spent three nights and two days here for a post-grad mini vacation. If you're looking for a small place in an empty beach town, this is perfect! Do know that the guest house is very close to the main house, so if there are renters next door it can sometimes be noisy in the mornings or when cars are coming in and out. The living room is a great size, the kitchen is well-stocked with cooking supplies, and the house is across the street from the beach. Overall great experience, we would definitely stay again if we visit Rodanthe!

Perfect little spot that was very clean. Had everything you might need. And it was in a great location. Dawn was also super helpful!!

Awesome place in a perfect location. Dawn is a fantastic host. I will definitely stay here again.

Very good stay you can beat it very good

Such a wonderful little place! Cozy and cute and right by the ocean. We enjoyed our stay so much, we wish we could have stayed longer! Perfect for a couples getaway weekend. And our hosts could not have been more accommodating and sweet. Would recommend to anyone!

Dawn was incredibly accommodating and communicative - by far the nicest host we've had through Air BnB. And the house is adorable - VERY clean, spacious rooms, comfortable bed. The "shack" is right across the street from one of the most beautiful beaches - such a gorgeous place with nothing but sand and water and dolphins for miles.

We enjoyed our short stay, including walking over to the beach to see the sunrise.

The Beach Shack was charming and clean, as advertised. We will be back.

Daniel and Gail were fantastic hosts from the moment I requested to book. They were available with answers about the area, and seemed genuinely excited to share their house with us. Salvo is exactly what we were looking for...rather secluded and accessible to many of The Outer Banks Tourist attractions. It was 20 minutes to Avon for grocery shopping and fishing from the Avon Pier. We only went to the Food Lion once for dry goods and then picked up fish and produce from the local roadside stands almost daily. I found Austin's to be the best for fish. A 5 minute walk to the Pea Island Art Gallery and a 5 minute bikeride to the Pamlico sound via the Salvo Day Use Area...perfect for the kids to swim safely and kayaking/crabbing. The house is a 5+ minute walk from the beach. (All houses in this area are because there are 2 sets of beautiful dunes to cross). The house was definitely large enough for us and had everything we needed for cooking and having fun. I travelled with my wife, our two kids (2 and 6) and 2 friends. We could have very comfortably brought 2 more people. We didn't use the bottom floor at all except for laundry. The house provided everything we needed for the beach including chairs, boogie boards, an umbrella and sand toys. There are also a lot of rental places if you need to rent a stroller, crib, or pretty much anything. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We cooked most nights. Plenty of plates, and glasses, pots and pans. We loved all of the decks and the screened porch which was great for watching storms roll in. Don't get discouraged if your weather report calls for thunderstorms. They pass very quickly here and are amazing to watch. Overall we were very pleased with our entire experience with "Blue Casablanca" and the Outerbanks in general. We're already looking into coming back next year and would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay here! It was a perfect location for a week at the beach. It was a short, easy walk to the beach from the house. Short enough that we could hit the beach in the morning, then easily head home for lunch and nap time for the little ones, and then head back to the beach in the afternoon. The house was clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed! There was plenty of space for our group of three families, each with kids. If we ever make it back to OBX we would love to stay here again!

Thank You God for Birgitta, she is awesome! She and Jim greeted us even though we arrived at midnight @_@ how many other hosts can say they've done that?!? We got situated quickly and I couldn't wait to go to the beach. The whole space is clean and comfortable. I appreciate how the access to the beach is for residents and guests only, meaning the beach is not crowded. Highly recommend this place. The space and location is on point. Also highly suggest going to the beach at night and watch the stars. (Take something to lay down on and just gaze...we could've slept out there, if we were prepared) I have never seen the sky so lit and amazing in my life! I am forever changed. God is so awesome!

Birgitta and her husband were incredibly attentive and helpful throughout the entire stay. When we realized we forgot beach towels, Birgitta came to the rescue! They gave us everything we needed to have a great time in the outer banks and we look forward to returning next summer!

Hosts are super sweet and helpful! They checked in to make sure we had everything and were always a quick message away. Super responsive throughout. Everything is perfectly set up and the beach is about a 4 minute walk away. I would absolutely recommend you stay here. Very quiet, secluded, beach was walkable, and they had bikes/chairs/towels/grill. Thank you!!

Birgitta and Jim were exceptional hosts right from the beginning. When you arrive you are greeted with complimentary waters and fresh watermelon in the fridge. You get a quick tour and then you are on your own to enjoy your stay. The room has its own set of steps and a porch that is great for coffee in the morning. The bed was enormous as was the bathroom with a walk in shower and jacuzzi tub. There is a mini fridge so you might want to bring an extra cooler if you plan on bringing food. Although they do provide a cooler and chairs for the beach. The bike they provide helps out a lot if you want to make a quick trip the stores which are pretty close by. If you are into working out, you can do that too. There is a weight rack and bar with bumper plates to use. It was an excellent experience overall and I enjoyed getting to meet Birgitta and Jim, will definitely look into making another trip.

Fantastic place! Birgitta and Jim met us when we arrived. The room was great, few minute walk to beach. No detail was forgotten! Mini fridge in room with watermelon, water and snack bars. Bikes available to ride about 1/2 mile to a great restaurant (Watermen's) for dinner and sunset. Breakfast places close also. Private deck with a table to sit at and all items for beach available for your use. We did this as a last minute getaway and didn't have anything we needed for a beach vacation besides our bathing suits. Everything was provided including beach towels. Birgitta gave us bug spray for our stop at Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station on our departure. Stop looking and book this room! It is perfect.

Birgitta's place was very nice! Her and Jim were great hosts. We enjoyed riding their bikes and using their hot tub. The room was very clean

Birgitta is lovely. She gave us excellent tips and directions before we arrived and was waiting for us when we pulled in. There was watermelon in the fridge and Birgitta and her husband, Jim, mentioned the meteorite shower that was happening that evening. My husband and I took the provided beach chairs out to the beach at midnight to watch the shower - gorgeous! The room was very clean with little amenities like shower gel, keurig coffee, and many towels. We could not have found a better place to experience the Outer Banks! We hope to return to Terrapin Flyer soon!

Birgitta and her husband were great hosts, very friendly and accommodating - I felt very welcomed. the listing was exactly as described; great neighborhood and very close to the beach. loved the hot tub and the wrap around deck - very spacious.
