Weekly specials are reduced rates that are being offered by the homeowner. You can find your Outer Banks Rental by entering the week then search and sort by amenity for the properties shown below.

In addition to providing weekly vacation rentals, we also offer some of those same properties to those looking for monthly winter rentals here on the OBX of North Carolina. You would have never guessed that roughly 20 years ago after Labor Day the island was completely vacant.
Only a very small few knew the secret of how special the Outer Banks becomes once the sun begins to set a little earlier, the nights grow a bit cooler, the traffic subsides and each person you pass you know by name.Slowly but surely it seems that the long-kept secret of winter on the Outer Banks is out and we couldn't be more thrilled to share our special slice of heaven with you!

This company has horrible customer service. I booked a vacation home while their guest web portal was down. I contacted them by phone to confirm my reservation, and the agent told me not to worry because they were not canceling any reservations right now because of this computer issue and I would still have the home I reserved. The following day I… received a cancellation email. I left two voicemails and sent one email with no response (this was on a weekend so I was being respectful of time). After no response I called on Monday. The agent told me they were closed due to snow over the weekend

We have used Joe Lamb for many years and always had a positive experience, until this year (week ending 8/1). A day after check in, several of us began showing signs of cold symptoms, and by mid week 8 out of 12 all had the same symptoms, including a one year old ( who has never been sick BTW) and a compromised three year old. Two trips to the walk in clinic and negative covid tests suggested something else might be wrong. I am a trained home inspector, and a another guest, a building maintenance manager, did some looking around, only to discover the air filters have not been changed in a long

My experience with Joe Lamb, Jr. and Associates was top notch. From my first phone call 6 months prior to renting the unit, to the after stay follow up phone call and emails. I AM COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH EVERY ASPECT OF DEALING WITH JOE LAMB, JR. I highly recommend them for an overall EXCELLENT rental experience in the OBX!!! I AM VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER!!!

The issue with Joe Lamb Jr. & Associates is that on Sunday (our arrival day) we noticed that the toilet was not flushing properly. This was an issue because there was only one bathroom. We contacted Joe Lamb Jr. & Associates on Monday using the App. We asked that they please contact us before they sent a maintenance person to the house because we wanted to be present. We waited throughout the day on Monday to be contacted by either Joe Lamb Jr. & Associates or the Plumber and never heard from anyone. On Tuesday we still had not heard from anyone until at 4:50 PM they called and left a voice mail

We rented a cottage through Joe Lamb this summer. They are great. They are very personable when you call with a question. Jo Lamb has been in business for a number of years, which is important if you are considering renting a cottage. Several years ago, we rented thru a company who had been in business for 15+years. We rented several years from this company and they abruptly WENT OUT OF BUSINESS. If you are considering rental, TRY JOE LAMB!

I had a terrible experience with JLJr rentals this summer. I have been renting at the OBX for over 20 yrs - have had wonderful vacations renting from Village Realty and Cola Vaughn Realty. The property we rented from JLJr was in terrible disrepair. We had to call maintenance DAILY to fix issues with the property - excessive trash around the outside… of the house, overgrown weeds in the outside shower and the steps to house and walkway to beach, a dangerous situation with a railing at top of wooden stairs that if a person leaned on it they could fall over 50 feet, a water leak in the bathroom

We rented GST-G1 at the Golden Strand Condo. The property is beachfront with a view of the ocean and there was a nice community pool. So the location was great. But Joe Lamb needs to inspect this unit to confirm that it's in acceptable shape for renters. The TV in the living room was not usable because it was not hooked up to the cable box. … It appeared to be a Samsung smart tv but kept saying there was a problem with the account. There were no basic directions. The internet signal wasn't operational so streaming wasn't possible. We reported this to maintenance with no resolution. There

My family of 17 had just drove 13 hours from Ohio and we got a call that our vacation rental was damaged during a storm and was deemed unsafe to stay in so we were displaced from our original vacation rental… last minute and our original rental company found us house #089 with Joe Lamb jr. When we arrived at the house we were so upset with the condition of the house, carpets stained, mold everywhere lack of furniture in several rooms, trash left, toilets disgusting, we had to wash all the dishes as they were filthy, out dated decor that is all stained. We were unable to use decks because

On our way down to "MOON SONG" in Nags Head (July 10th) a maintenance worker called me to notify me that there would be NO CENTRAL air in the home. She said the air conditioner had broken and that the family… who was there before us said that the home was still very "comfortable" and there were more than enough units for us to be alright. She was blunt and matter of fact. She never even apologized for the inconvenience this may cause us.
After driving 7 hours in traffic and arriving at the home, the entire upstairs living space was 85 degrees!!!!
Looking more into this issue, I found out

My wife Crystal booked this trip for us this year (sun&surf 043)in her name so i dont know if this will fall on deaf ears, but here we go. First im not one to complain about a rental, especially understanding recent staffing issues. I will start by saying on the surface things looked ok. I say ok relative as the house looked like the big house from pictures but definitely not quite what we expected. Wear and tear I get it, its a rental, but for what we paid and im sure others before, us there are a few daunting issues that never got resolved because no one called us back. One there being dead midges

Don't not use Joe Lamb reality! When we arrived at our cottage, the upstairs a/c was not working. It was 92 degrees upstairs. I called maintenance and they said that the would send someone to fix it the following day. I explained that we have a baby and that would not work. They offered to bring some fans for the upstairs and someone came the following day around 1 o'clock pm and fixed it. Towels and bed sheets were all over the steps when we first arrived as well along with not having the correct to code to enter the cottage. It was a nightmare, the first day! I spoke with the manager about some

We rented Sea Blessing and it was far from a blessing. The house was very disgustingly dirty. There were clothes including underwear left from prior renters, one under a pillow on a bed. The floors were… disgusting (see photo of feet only 30 minutes after awaking up and only being inside). There was moldy grill utensils left outside the door on the ground and the cups were all wet and dirty in the cupboards. There were also cockroaches everywhere (kitchen, bedroom, bathroom). Joe Lamb Jr was contacted and they informed us they were not responsible for the cleaning but would contact the head

Upon arriving (Sunday 06/27/21) to our vacation rental(#742 “After dune delight”) which is located at 205 Historic st in kitty hawk NC. We found the place looked as if had been abandoned. The grass,weeds were extremely high with sand spurs everywhere. We immediately called and asked to have the yard maintained so the kids could possibly use it. We were told they would get back to us. On Tuesday, we called again and was told the same thing. The yard appearance is one issue but the home condition was another, house outdated, window broken, gaps and cracks in trim work, kids bunk beds patched

Just checked into or beach house for the week and very disappointed thus far. Bed linens and comforters were all over the front steps and the entry code that was given to us was incorrect. Those things, I can live with but after entering the house we found that the up stairs a/c is not working and it's 88 degrees upstairs. There more to the story but I will leave it at what has been said so far for now.. I will follow up with how this is handled and will be the decision on my final review.

Arrived at cabin at (Sandalwood) at 5 pm to find the guest cottage like this. 😒
Got voicemail when I tried to reach housekeeping, then called reservations (she accidentally hung up on me) and finally got to a manager.....who said they would contact the cleaning service to have someone get back with me.
One hour later, no call.
It's disappointing to drive 2.5 hours and spend thousands of dollars on a rental property to have this stress dropped on you at the beginning of your vacation. 😒
RE:. Your response. Yes...they did arrive and clean....and didn't leave sheets. There were also empty

Rented a house for a week through Joe Lamb and the place was completely unacceptable. There was a black substance on the ceiling of 4 different rooms. We immediately called to see what could be done and were told to wait for a 'mold remediation' company to come out. They told a family of 8 people, including a 7 month infant to "just wait outside" for up to an hour before some company would come out and inspect the property. In the mean time the office closed and were willing to leave us stranded. The "manager", Jeffrey, did not care one bit that we were now stuck in this situation, with the possibility
