"We rented both The Kildare Cottage and The Carriage House, wow such wonderful properties. They were both excellent, we had everything we needed. Our Host was great, we messaged several times for some details and they responded so quickly. They were very accommodating and the homes were just great. Having these units on our vacation certainly made our stay an outstanding one. Can't say enough good things about this whole rental. Wonderful places! I would rent these again, without question. Thank...

Top Columbia Hotel Reviews

A quiet retreat and perfect for your getaway to the Outer Banks!

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and peaceful"

Waterfront Harbor Home, Sunset Views, Fireplace, Private dock and Boat Slip

8/10 Good

"House has a galley kitchen, narrow and hard for people to pass each other in. If everybody likes to work together in the kitchen it won't work for you. Loved the view and the canal access. We thought the front bedroom was nicer than the master in the back."

Private Home

10/10 Excellent

"Being able to bring our pets was a huge priority for us, so having a property with plenty of room for them to enjoy was perfect. The house was clean and had all the necessities to make our vacation smooth and enjoyable.The host checked in to make sure everything was up to standard and was ready to assist with any issues—though we didn't have any because the property was great. It’s also only about a 10-minute drive from the main strip, keeping everything within reasonable reach. I’d definitely recommend staying here!"

Cozy Tiny House -close walk to quaint neighborhood beach!

10/10 Excellent

"The whole experience was great! The house was exactly as described and it was immaculate. We had paid to have our dog there but changed plans and the fee was refunded right away. There was an electrical outage (due to work being performed in the area) and our hosts checked in on us right away (I don’t even know how they knew!) It was just as easy as possible."

Tiny House. King bed. Queen bed. Quaint Neighborhood Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"A great place to stay. A very nice house with a reasonable price. The hosts were always available to answer questions quickly. It's pet friendly and very clean. The hosts did not forget anything . Everything was already there to accommodate us. I highly recommend this house and these hosts. 5 stars."

Welcoming Hooks Hideaway-The Cabin on the Albemarle Sound

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, this property was excellent and makes for a nice, quiet retreat from busy life. It’s an extremely cozy, well decorated, 3-bedroom cabin setting right next to the water. The views are wonderful and the ability to relax next to the water on the home’s personal dock is flat out amazing. My only criticisms are 1) that there are a lot of bugs outside, and while this is normal in that area, the place could use a bug zapper or some other control mechanism. 2) This is definitely an out-of-the-way location, so it would behoove you to utilize the well stocked kitchen by bringing food items to cook while there. The few local restaurants operate when they feel the need and often close early.Like I said though, it was a great experience and I highly recommend the place! "
