About OBXFRBO

A local Outer Banks family, renting our homes the way we’d want to rent one.

Outer Banks For Rent By Owner (OBXFRBO) started with three oceanfront homes on the Beach Road in Kitty Hawk — Crab House, Big Deck Beach House and A Carolina Conch — that our family has hosted guests in for years, earning hundreds of 5-star reviews along the way.

We live and work on the Outer Banks. We know which beach access is least crowded in July, where to get the best breakfast before a day on the sand, and what to do when a nor’easter rolls through in October. We built this site to share that local knowledge with our guests and to give other Outer Banks homeowners a better, fairer way to reach theirs.

What we believe

  • Prices should be honest. Our quoted prices include all fees.
  • Owners should own the relationship with their guests — and keep the money they earn.
  • Dogs are family. Every one of our homes welcomes them.
  • Local beats generic. The Outer Banks deserves a booking site that actually knows the Outer Banks.
