"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

Waterside Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Very relaxing, great view of sound, sunset and great pool."

Treehouse OBX. Cozy cottage in family/pet-friendly neighborhood. Close to sound.

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely house, very relaxing and attractive. 10 minutes to the beach and a great ramp/handicap beach access. After a beach day it was so nice to come to a beautiful cottage in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by cool trees. Rebooted for next year."

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! "

Cozy Tiny House -close walk to quaint neighborhood beach!

10/10 Excellent

"This was a cute little house. Our stay was great. It had everything we needed for us and our sweet little fur baby. It was so nice having a dog crate already at the house and not having to bring from home. Good location for the things we wanted to see. Thanks for having us!"

Private treetop suite in Kitty Hawk Coastal Preserve

10/10 Excellent

"I cannot sing Colleen’s praises enough. Her place was perfect for a little getaway that needed. Not only was she full of suggestions and understanding but she also let me love on her pup for a few minutes too. I can’t wait to book again if I am in the area"
