Currituck County vacation rentals

We were searching for a bit of an adventure and better weather for spring break. We've never been to the Outer Banks before and wanted to take the dog with us, see some wild horses, and traverse the 4x4 beach. Twin Shores met our expectations. We saw the horses every day. We had two days of cooler weather and rain but that was okay because the awesome hot tub is in a screened covered porch on the upper level. You could hear the birds singing and waves crashing on the beach. The fighter jets were doing some formations and practice (really cool). This side of the beach is not busy at all. People driving on the beach are courteous and wave at you when they go by. Don't forget the great tips you'll get at this property. Air down your tires on the beach and 4x4 is a must. I saw 3 Jeeps stuck in the sand :) We took the F150 and tied the beach umbrella to the tailgate, pulled out the cooler, set out the kite to soar, and played ball with the dog on the beach. The sand is so soft. Ready to explore we went into Corolla and climbed the lighthouse, visited the nature center, hiked the Audubon trail to the marsh (no birds yet), did some shopping, and ate some local seafood and barbeque. Twin Shores is a well kept house. I don't have anything to compare to in the Outer Banks but this house was clean and in great condition. I was amazed at how well the wifi worked (way out there). It seems like the owner is constantly making upgrades for the comfort of the guests and clearly takes pride in making this spot a great vacation stop. I also liked that the owner was accommodating with our travel dates. I know the island can get crazy during certain times but we missed all the crazy traffic. I'll keep this on my list of places to go for sure.

We only stayed at Melissa’s place Tues-Sat, so with 3 full days we tried to do as much as possible! ***10/10 stars*** The house: stocked kitchen for cooking, comfortable bedding & sectional sofa, plenty of linens provided, great open floor plan with functional space for games, puzzles, remote working, family meals. The outside space: great front porch with rocking chairs- perfect for our cocktail hour. The back porch is equally perfect. We grilled and ate dinner al fresco most nights on the back porch. Our beagle napped most days on the fenced in porch! He’s a big fan of the shaded and breezy porch. The pool is the perfect sized back yard pool, and we had fun battling each other in pool basketball and relaxing on floats. The hot tub was clean and refreshing. We must have looked so relaxed as neighbors saw us having fun and said they were jealous because their house didn’t have a hot tub:) Garage is stocked with floats, bikes, foosball, ping pong, games…. The community has plenty of activities. We enjoyed the trolley rides, not only for the shuttle service but also to see the community. The drivers were friendly and helpful, quick to jump out and assist with loading and unloading beach gear. The trolley stop is so convenient to the house and the trolleys stop frequently. Three community pools! The snack bar at the beach trolley stop was perfect for grab and go! Melissa is a great host, informative and communicative! Overall fantastic stay- house, host, community!!

With the 4x4 Corolla beach access only 1 mile away from the condo, we were so fortunate to see quite a few horses on the beach, which had been on our bucket list for many years. The sunrises and sunsets are also so easy to walk to from the condo (as well as some great food and shopping next door). The 2 story layout and good size of the condo is perfect for multiple families or friends and it was in outstanding condition (seemed practically brand new). Our hosts had everything there that you'd want in your home. We spent time at the Whalehead Museum and Currituck Lighthouse right next door, which we'd highly recommend to others. The heated community pool and seating/lounging area were amazing, with lots of room to spread out. Cabanas were available for rent if you prefer full shade and extra amenities. We can't wait to come back again, and would pick SunRise 'n Shine for sure!

This was our 4th year at this cottage and it has continued to hold up under new ownership. The location is very convenient to the beach access just two houses down. The storage room downstairs has plenty of supplies for playing in the surf and sand; shovels, buckets, boogie boards. Just don't forget your beach towels. We discovered Tullio's Bakery in Duck this year. Their pastries were good and worth the 15-20 minute drive up route 12. We enjoyed an airboat tour out of Manteo, which was picturesque and informative. There are plenty of other fun activities right in the area. Wild horse tours, dolphin tours, kayaking tours; we have enjoyed them all! If you like lighthouses, the Currituck and Bodie lighthouse are open and within a reasonable driving distance. I'm still waiting for Hatteras to be accessible again. We like to cook and the kitchen had everything we needed for the week. There is a flat-top electric griddle in the closet of the downstairs master which we found helpful for breakfast time! The newly installed spa and deck continue to be great features of this home and allow you to enjoy the view across the dunes to the ocean. Part of my party arrived about 20 minutes before the 4:00 check-in time and the house was not fully ready; towels not yet washed, beds not made, floor not vacuumed. They were able to easily reach the property manager who came right over. He had a great personality and attitude and got everything finished in no time.

We really enjoyed our stay at A Splash of Lime. The house is lovely – clean and comfortable with lots of room to spread out – the kitchen is fully stocked with cookware and there are tvs in most - or maybe even every - bedroom. Every morning we had our coffee outside on either the front or back deck. There is a heated pool (necessary if you go off-season in April like we did) and a private hot tub where our family spent a lot of time. At one point the pool heater had an error message, and Marty was extremely responsive and had his maintenance person come to the house and address it asap. Speaking of the host, Marty was very informative and responsive, and he answered text messages right away. I had read that in other people’s reviews and they were spot on. So what else can I say about the ‘experience’ of staying here? Where else do you air down your tires and drive 9 miles on the beach to get to your destination, see wild horses roaming on the beach and around the property where you are staying? My kids will always remember this vacation, it was such a unique experience to stay in this part of the Outer Banks. It requires some pre-planning because if you forget something it’s a drive to get back to the grocery/liquor store/pharmacy, etc. But it’s totally worth it. If I had to do it all over I would stay here again.

This was our first time using Airbnb, and we couldn't be more pleased First, the communication and ease of booking was wonderful. Jennifer was a great host (though we never met). We were sent information about the house, as well as, the area. We really enjoyed the keyless entree! The place was extremely clean (this is one of the top things on my list!). Everything functioned well. The place was seriously exactly what we hoped! It was just me and my husband, so there was more than enough room! We like riding bikes and found a wonderful trail on the bayside. We didn't need to drive to it. The beach was not far, but we chose to drive and park closer. We had no issues with that at all. We were very happy to enjoy the beach chairs that were provided at the home too! Thank you!! The beach was beautiful! There a plenty of great restaurants around, and convenient to grocery stores, department stores, gas, etc. We loved the location, and explored a lot. It was also our first time in the OBX. Non home related, our 2 big recommendations for the OBX would be to visit the Wright's Brother's Memorial and to visit Jockey's Ridge state park. Both were amazing. We loved the whole stay and would certainly would return! We absolutely recommend staying at Jennifer's cozy beach house !! Thank you so much for our gifts and everything! We enjoyed your restaurant gift certificate!!!

Imagine leisurely sipping your morning coffee gazing at a fenced back yard filled with peach and yellow morning glories just beginning to open. With your dogs at your side, share the quiet time eating breakfast at the picnic table. Then take your family for a short walk to the public beach access area where you enjoy the gentle breeze of the ocean. Soak in the sun and peacefulness of Kill Devil Hills for the morning. Along the way back to the cottage be sure to visit the Stop & Shop for lunch with the locals or to pick up some souvenirs to remember this wonderful time. Spend the afternoon at the nearby Wright Brothers Memorial learning about the beginning of aviation. Buy your family's favorites at the Food Lion you see on your way home, to cook on the barbecue grill in the backyard . Once again the morning glories are opening as you spend quality time with your family until the sun sets. Walk two blocks to the Dairy Queen for an easy dessert that all the family will enjoy. Come inside to relax in the perfect two bedroom cottage which is simple and elegantly decorated in a soothing beach decor. The leather furniture is great for humans and their four legged family. The comfort and flow of the bungalow is warm, cozy and inviting. Your day is complete and it's only day one of your vacation. This is my first choice for future rentals. Location location location - this cottage has that and so much more.

Molly’s Place was amazing! Molly was easy to communicate with, gave timely information about her home, and very responsive to the few questions I had. The entire house was spotless. The beds were very comfy! I have never stayed in an Airbnb with so many thoughtful extras! From all the amenities provided (I don't think I have ever seen a better-prepared and -supplied home), to labels/great instructions throughout the house, to the perfect bubble bath tub with jets to ease your sore muscles from a day of doing touristy stuff! Our stay was fabulous and we were pretty bummed when we had to move on to our next Airbnb in Nags Head to stay with a larger group as we were quite certain that we were spoiled at Molly's place and would have nowhere near the accommodations there as we did at Molly's! As suspected, the other place was a let down! We highly recommend Molly and her house - you won’t be disappointed! In fact, you will be quite happy that you chose her home away from home!
