This was our second time staying here and it was perfect as always. Rooms were clean and beautifully decorated. Host was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. It’s a short walk to the beach and lots of activities near by to keep us busy.

Kathy— we were so excited to host you for a second time! There’s nothing better than the compliment of repeat guests… especially when they are as lovely as you. We are grateful to have your support and hope you make this trip a tradition!
Loved our stay! The house was clean, cozy, and a short walk to the beach. Great views, fully stocked kitchen, and easy check-in and check out. Perfect spot to unwind—can’t wait to come back!
Our host Landee was great. So nice! The condo is very clean and well supplied. There is a Kerig coffee pot and we had plenty of cookware if you want to cook! The living room furniture and beds are comfy. The condo is roomy and the views are fantastic being right on the sound. The veranda is great with nice outdoor seating. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Ahh, Lorie, this made my day—thank you!! I’m so glad Sunsets on the Sound worked out perfectly for your stay. It was truly a pleasure having you, and I’m really happy I could help make things easy and comfortable for you. The island is such a gem, and it means a lot to hear the location worked so well for your adventures. You’re welcome back anytime—it would be an absolute joy to host you again!
This was one of the best VRBO experiences we have had! Property Manager Extraordinaire, Landie, at Away By the Sea was exceptional! Communication was prompt and extra courteous. I am a germaphobe due to health concerns and Landie's team made sure the place was sanitized and spotless! Best I've ever seen! The condo is spacious, organized and equipped with everything you could need. The furnishings are high-level and comfy! The huge corner deck is perfect for unwinding by the beautiful Sound waters of Bogue Banks. Sunrise AND sunset were visible from there. We appreciated the covered parking and security measures to access the elevator. Highly recommend this property and we hope to be back.

Linda, your review is beautiful and heartwarming—thank you! I’m beyond happy to hear that your stay at Away By the Sea was such a positive experience. Knowing how important cleanliness is for your health, I’m especially glad our team could help you and your husband feel safe and comfortable. I’ll make sure Nicole and the crew know how much their effort was appreciated—they’ll be thrilled to hear your feedback!
And yes—that corner deck is pure delight! I'm so glad you were able to soak in both sunrise and sunset over the Sound. It really is the kind of spot that invites you to slow down and enjoy life!
You were such a thoughtful and lovely guest, and I truly hope we’ll get to welcome you back again. Thank you for being a part of what makes hosting so rewarding.
This property was beautiful with wonderful views and great living spaces for the whole family. The host was immediately responsive to questions and truly wanted to ensure our stay was perfect. We will definitely return to this lovely property.
This was a very beautiful place to stay. Very spacious and they provided everything needed for a great relaxing trip. We really enjoyed the wrap around balcony that made us feel like we were to ourselves. The host was easy to contact and kept us updated on everything. We enjoyed our trip and will look into staying here again in the future!

About the host
Hosted by Landie Canfield
We are long-time locals living right here on the Southern Outer Banks. We love the natural beauty of this area and the experiences that it offers. The Crystal Coast is the perfect name for the stunning waters and pristine beaches surrounding us. More than anything, though, it's the friendliness and warmth of the people who live and travel here that we truly adore. It's why we do what we do! We are dedicated to personalized service and want nothing more than for you to have the time of your life— and your dream SOBX vacation!
Why they chose this property
Ask anyone and they will tell you — living here is "living the dream!" From the ocean to the sound, from boating to fishing, swimming to surfing, sailing to kayaking, hiking, birdwatching and more, there are activities and adventures for all folks of all ages. Additionally, there are fairs and festivals, shopping and dining, shops and cafes— all so close! Though the area is busiest in summer, the enjoyment lasts all year. The off-season months are a delight, with quieter beaches and a slower pace. The Crystal Coast is a win, win, WIN!
What makes this property unique
Located between Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle, and between the ocean and the sound, our property offers a unique balance of features, accessibility and appeal. Wake up to stunning water views, walk to the beach and retire to a wrap-around balcony or a soak in the hot tub! Open living makes the space inviting and fresh and the amenities here are second-to-none. Come see for yourself!
