About this place

Totally renovated single-level elevated beach box on the shores of the Pamlico Sound. Hot tub, game room, and breathtaking sunsets!

Best Box is a rare jewel in the OBX rental market: a waterfront home with abundant recreational features designed specifically for couples and small families. Our family has vacationed on Hatteras Island for decades, and we’ve filled our home with the features we always valued. We hope you feel appreciated the moment you arrive.

Inside, our Game Room offers a full-sized Kick Triumph foosball table, a regulation dart board, and a flat-screen TV to catch the game. Our Living Room boasts a 65-inch flat-screen TV with Roku streaming and HDMI ports, a cozy electric fireplace, a high-quality Sangean radio with Bluetooth, and a spacious sectional for family movie nights. For those blissful indoor days, we've shared our novels, short stories, cookbooks, magazines, board games, puzzles, coloring books, and craft supplies.

Outside, we offer four kayaks (two single and two fishing), two inner tubes, a fish-cleaning table with faucet, a beer/bait refrigerator, a custom charcoal grill station, a spacious outdoor shower, and a 70-foot boardwalk for fishing, lounging, and dipping your toes in the sound. Toss our frisbees, fly our kites, flaunt your impressive cornhole skills, and express yourself with sidewalk chalk. We have comfortable Adirondack chairs for soaking in the rays, a hot tub/spa for sunset happy hour, a sheltered hammock for breezy summer days, and a telescope for stunning Milky Way nights.

Headed to the beach? We offer six aluminum beach chairs, a beach umbrella, two boogie boards, two skim boards, a paddle ball set, and a collapsible beach cart to carry it all. An easy 10-minute drive takes you to Frisco Beach, our most popular public beach with ample parking, easy access, large restrooms, and outdoor showers.

Like to cook? We've built a kitchen just for you! Enjoy our bright and spacious open-plan kitchen with sound views, granite countertops, quality appliances, reliable knives, and a full range of baking pans. If you’re the sort of cook who packs three weeks of food for a one-week vacation, we offer a spacious refrigerator with a freezer drawer and a generous open pantry with sliding shelves. If you’re the sort of cook who shops daily for fresh ingredients, Best Box is only 10 minutes from Buxton Seafood, Conner’s Supermarket, and the ABC store. Bon Appetit!

Hate to cook? You won't miss out! A quick drive to Buxton or Frisco scores you early-morning apple uglies, splendid cappuccinos, full southern breakfasts, doughy pizza, enormous subs, fresh-caught local seafood, delectable sushi, award-winning fish tacos, mouthwatering ribs, decadent fudge, and hand-dipped ice cream. Really - if you’re not in a food coma, are you even on vacation?

Feeling sleepy? Each of our bedrooms comes with a quiet, balanced ceiling fan, a comfortable desk, a full-length mirror, double night stands, easily accessible power outlets, window blinds, a sound machine, beautiful art, and a flat-screen TV with Roku streaming and HDMI ports. Our beds have high-quality memory foam mattresses made up with luxury microfiber sheets and plush cotton quilts. We hope you sleep soundly, wake joyfully, and lounge blissfully.

Hi there! My name is Amanda, and I own Best Box with my husband, Marcelo. I grew up in the suburbs of Baltimore and spent my childhood vacations on the humble beaches of Ocean City, MD. While attending college in the early 90s, I interned at Norfolk Naval Station. On the advice of a co-worker, I made a solo day trip down Highway 12 one warm spring weekend. I was hooked. Since then, I've shared this special place with my family and closest friends. We've gotten to know every village on the island, and we're frequent visitors to Ocracoke. During the long, uncertain days of the pandemic, many of us took up new hobbies like knitting or breadmaking. I lost my mind and convinced Marcelo to buy a fixer-upper beach house with me. We could see she needed work, but we didn't realize until many months after closing the full extent of renovation required to make her safe and whole again. Our fun pandemic project turned into a two-year renovation journey that tested our marriage, our faith, and our finances. Ah, but the sunsets. And the stars. And the clean ocean air... Sometimes a difficult journey has a way of opening your heart to the beauty around you. Because our renovation took so much longer than anticipated, we had the chance to build close friendships with our neighbors in Brigand's Bay, and we've gotten to work with many long-time Outer Banks residents and their families. The people here are extraordinary. We've been vacationing on Hatteras Island for decades, but it's been an honor to live like a local.
