Charming OBX soundfront beach box with hot tub, game room, and stunning sunsets!

Just opened to the OBX rental market in 2023!

Totally renovated single-level elevated beach box overlooking the Pamlico Sound. Professionally decorated spaces with all-new appliances and generous amenities. Peaceful cul-de-sac setting in the popular Brigand's Bay neighborhood. Breathtaking sunsets,

Best Box is a rare jewel in the OBX rental market: a waterfront home with abundant recreational features designed specifically for couples and small families. Our family has vacationed on Hatteras Island for decades, and we’ve filled our home with the features we always valued. We hope you feel appreciated the moment you arrive.

Inside, our Game Room offers a full-sized Kick Triumph foosball table, a regulation dart board, and a flat-screen TV to catch the game. Our Living Room boasts a 65-inch flat-screen TV with Roku streaming and HDMI ports, a cozy electric fireplace, a high-quality radio with Bluetooth speaker, and a spacious sectional for family movie nights. For those blissful indoor days, we've shared our novels, short stories, cookbooks, magazines, board games, puzzles, coloring books, and art supplies.

Outside, we offer four kayaks (two single and two fishing), two inner tubes, a fish-cleaning table, a custom charcoal grill station, a spacious outdoor shower enclosure, and a 70-foot boardwalk for fishing, lounging, and dipping your toes in the sound. Toss our frisbees, fly our kites, flaunt your impressive cornhole game, and express yourself with sidewalk chalk. We have comfortable Adirondack chairs for soaking in the rays, a hot tub/spa for sunset happy hour, a sheltered hammock for breezy summer days, and a telescope for stunning Milky Way nights.

Headed to the beach? We offer six aluminum beach chairs, a beach umbrella, two boogie boards, two skim boards, and a paddle ball set. A quick 10-minute drive takes you to Frisco Beach, our most popular public beach with ample parking, easy access, clean restrooms, and outdoor showers.

Like to cook? We've built a kitchen just for you! Enjoy our bright and spacious open-plan kitchen with sound views, granite countertops, quality appliances, reliable knives, and a full range of baking pans. If you’re the sort of cook who packs six weeks of food for a one-week vacation (same...), we offer a spacious refrigerator with a freezer drawer, a generous open pantry with sliding shelves, and a multi-tier spice rack. If you’re the sort of cook who shops daily for fresh ingredients, Best Box is only 10 minutes from Buxton Seafood, Conner’s Supermarket, and the ABC store. Bon Appetit!

Hate to cook? Lucky you! A quick drive to Buxton or Frisco scores you early-morning apple uglies, splendid cappuccinos, full southern breakfasts, doughy pizza, enormous subs, fresh-caught local seafood, delectable sushi, award-winning fish tacos, mouthwatering ribs, decadent fudge, and hand-dipped ice cream. Really - if you’re not in a food coma, are you even on vacation?

Feeling sleepy? Each of our bedrooms comes with a quiet, balanced ceiling fan, a comfortable desk, a full-length mirror, double night stands, easily accessible power outlets, window blinds, beautiful art, a flat-screen TV with Roku streaming and HDMI ports, and clear views of the sound. Our beds have high-quality memory foam mattresses made up with luxury microfiber sheets and plush cotton quilts. We hope you sleep soundly, wake joyfully, and lounge blissfully.

This place is absolutely amazing. Close to beach access and beautiful sunsets over the sound. Outdoor set up was perfect for our family after a day on the beach. We will definitely stay here again. The host was very responsive and easy to work with. A major incentive of staying here was the house came with everything you need to play at the beach and at the house (beach chairs and toys, fishing poles, backyard games, etc.).

Family beach trip

AMAZING Best Box! This house has everything plus some! Comfortable layout, beautiful views, easy drive to the beach, better stocked kitchen than my house, and entertainment galore! My 17 year old sons were never bored and that says a lot! Kayaks, floats, darts, foosball, games a plenty, fishing, beach games… We will definitely stay here the next time we go to the outer banks!

Perfect OBX home base!

Property is even better than described. The personal touches in the house are just adorable and made us feel so happy and comfortable. Details like plenty of hooks, shelving, end tables, labelled kitchen drawers and cabinets, etc. throughout made us even more comfortable. Neighborhood is fun to explore on bikes. I could go on and on. This place really deserves all these good reviews. Believe us.

Great place to stay.

My wife and I had a great get away at this property. The house is very very clean. The decor and furniture are amazing; lots of really cool things to check out throughout the house. The bay is right on the deck so the provided kayaks were very easy to launch. We also enjoyed the hot tub on the chilly nights. All in all we would definitely recommend and stay here again. The owners attention to detail is unlike any other place we’ve stayed. Thank you for your hospitality, Steve.

Off-Season Gem!

The hot tub at sunset was fabulous, and the electric fireplaces were cute and cozy. We even used the outdoor shower! The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and the kitchen had everything we needed for special family meals. Our kids loved the game room! Shelling is always incredible this time of year, and we practically had the beach to ourselves! We will definitely be back.

Incredible House!

The location was fantastic: a quiet neighborhood right on the sound. The house had absolutely everything you might need and the decor was unique (in a good way)! We ended up spending a lot of time at the house because we just loved it so much. The only thing I’d ask for is more than one trash bag, but that’s it. It was hard to leave and we’re already excited to come back!

Amanda is absolutely wonderful and responded to any questions we had about places to eat or things to do very quickly. The sunsets were absolutely stunning and enjoying them from the hot tub or while fishing made them even better. I highly recommend The Best Box and hope we will be returning in the near future!!!! 💕

Best Box is amazing!

This house truly has everything you need to have the best vacation! We enjoyed every amenity offered. The owners really thought of everything. The outside decks had the best views of the sound and beautiful sunsets. The Adirondack chairs were perfectly placed. We used the hot tub multiple times. We enjoyed the kayaks a few times as well. We made use of the cornhole boards and the beach chairs! My kids loved the outdoor shower. Inside had everything we needed to cook the perfect meal and we loved the way the house was decorated! So cute!! The place was immaculately clean! The beach is a short drive away. The neighborhood is quiet and great for walking. We would definitely stay here again!

Best House

The Best Box is the BEST House we have ever had the pleasure of “living” at on the OBX! We have stayed in this neighborhood before and it is nice and quiet and has a great view. This house is amazing! It was even more beautiful in person. Everywhere you look in this house there is something pretty to look at - I felt guilty for wanting to be outside:) The house is stocked with EVERYTHING you need. The only thing you really need to bring are a few beach towels. We loved the outdoor shower room- we would leave our clothes and clean towels downstairs so we never had to bring sand in. We took advantage of the games, art supplies and all the outdoor fun stuff. I could go on and on. We love our time here!!

Really is the Best Box!

From the moment we first stepped into the property, we knew we were in for an awesome week - the house is simply fantastic; that view across the sound, from the main living area as you first walk in just blew us away. Everything about this property has been first class and made for the most relaxing week away in the Outer Banks - the beds were very comfortable, the kitchen as well equipped as you could hope for, the entire property just so clean and fresh. We love this area of the OBX as its such a great outdoor playground, and the kayaks and outdoor shower just added to that; the location is perfect for those days we wanted to chase waves or explore - and after a long day in the water, sitting on the dock or deck, watching those sunsets ... wow! Communication with the hosts was quick and easy and made for a worry free booking. We can not recommend Best Box strongly enough, and we can't wait to get back.

Amazing Getaway

The Best Box is AMAZING! First and foremost, the waterfront views are stunning. The home itself is clean, updated, and thoughtfully decorated. This house has everything you need for vacation - and things you didn’t even know you need. The owners have really gone above and beyond to make sure the home is outfitted with everything you need for an amazing and relaxing getaway. The home is so comfortable. The location is perfect. Easily accessible to great restaurants and lots to do in the area. You could even choose to never leave the house and still have an amazing vacation. My family most enjoyed the kites and the telescope….things I never knew we would ever enjoy so much. I look forward to returning to this home again for a relaxing vacation. The owners were also super easy to communicate with and very knowledgeable about the area. A storm was forecasted for the day we arrived and they were kind enough to reach out to us in advance and let us know.

Guys Fishing Trip

Had a party of 5 with the purpose of going on a fishing trip for 2 guys who were getting married. Each wedding later this year. It was amazing. The house and location could not have been more perfect. We almost didn’t even want to go fishing because of the location and view of where we were at. We became obsessed with kayaking and fishing off the dock. We even found an old crab trap under the house that we took advantage of and caught some crabs as well! The house itself had more than enough room for the 5 of us and had nearly everything we needed. Even the things we didn’t know we need d! Some of the guys on the trip who have never been to the OBX now plan to bring their own families and want this house to be their starting experience! Thanks to Amanda for being an amazing owner and sharing this fantastic experience with us. She could not have made it any easier!

Views for miles

This place has amazing 180 degree views, definitely breathtaking. It is off the main path in a quiet neighborhood. We arrived to a very clean and tidy place as well as a wonferful welcome bag. (Thanks Amanda!) Everything is either labeled or there is a picture frame to explain things such as how to use the keypad to open the door or a little bit about the wonderful neigbors dogs. They add a nice personal touch. Tons of hooks to hang stuff everywhere. Amanda has definitely thought through what to add to the place. Beds were firm but comfy. Kitchen was well stocked (we cooked most nights). Game room was a huge hit with my kids. Outdoor shower was amazing. I never want to take another indoor shower again. Ha! Dock was great as we went fishing off of it a few times. Only caught small fish as the water is only a few feet deep (at least when we were there). We utilized the fish cleaning station too which was wonderful to have. If you are wanting to utilize the kayaks be sure to bring your own life jackets. Overall we loved the place and would highly recommend it!

Amazing Experience!

My husband, some close friends, and I stayed at the Best Box at OBX during Labor Day weekend 2023. A day before our scheduled arrival, hurricane Idalia hit North Carolina and we were very anxious about our visit. However, Amanda went above and beyond, even driving to NC herself to make sure everything was safe for our visit, and that roads and services were available. Huge props for that Amanda! The Best Box is just gorgeous inside and out! We loved the decoration and the attention to details in every room. The kitchen had all the utensils we needed to prepare our meals, the living room was cozy and, in addition to the big tv, it had lots of books and board games for every taste! The big windows in the living room were just gorgeous; allowing us to enjoy a magnificent ocean view! We had so much fun inside the house with the foosball table and the dart games that we had to drag our friends out to try the NC outdoors :) Another nice surprise was the availability of a telescope and we enjoyed beautiful views of a full moon! The views and sunsets from the balcony were just breathtaking, even better when experienced it from the hot water spa! The hammock and the chairs overlooking the ocean were our favorite spots. If you are in need of a restful and fun vacation, this hidden gem is the perfect getaway. We cannot wait to go back!

OMG

What can I say? I’m ready to go back. Perfect place! Beautifully decorated and super relaxing. Felt like home immediately. Anything you need is there. Kitchen is stocked great and can handle any meals you are planning. Giant pots for seafood boils and a brand new grill for steaks or burgers. Beds and pillow are just right to give everyone a good night sleep after spending the day on the water. The water? What a view. The view is worth the price alone. Only issue is that you will want to be home for the sunset every night. The best part other than the view…..the outside BATHROOM! That’s right! Not just a shower but a toilet too. What make the outside bathroom even better? A BEER FRIDGE! Seriously, this place is perfect. Can’t wait to go back. Thanks for having us and letting us be the first guests. Best drive over beach is in Frisco Ramp 48. Go to the left for a wider beach and more packed sand. Fishing Charter? Look up Ian at Relentless Sportfishing. Want to go hang out on the sandbar island tour or sunset cruise? Check out Captain Rolo’s Charters at 252-305-3012 Best restaurant on the island? Mad Crabber in Avon. It’s all good but I highly recommend the Mad Platter. See you soon!

Such an amazing spot

Honestly the pictures don't even come close to what you get. The home is immaculate and so well decorated (need some tips from Amanda for my house) The kitchen is better equipped than mine at home, ice cream, panini, waffle makers. Coffee press, slow cooker, blenders and on and on! The sunsets were magical. The kayaks really appreciated and the dogs that came to visit so cute! Amanda was so responsive; I honestly cannot say enough about how wonderful everything was. Less than 10-minute easy car ride to beaches and cape Hatteras. Easy ferry access to Ocracoke, simply a fabulous time!!! I want to come back in the winter and enjoy the hot tub, views and using that well equipped kitchen for all kinds of goodies. Thank you, Amanda, your home is beautiful, and you were so very kind.

Cute place with an AMAZING view!

First thing we noticed upon entering were the big windows & perfect view of the sound! This place has such unique furniture & interesting decor. It is stocked with things to do: games, tvs, books, dart board, foosball, hot tub, hammock, kayaks, and lots of kitchen supplies. The outdoor shower is a huge plus. The neighborhood is established & quiet, great for sitting outside with a good book or taking a walk. Finally, a comfortable, cozy, well-kept place near our favorite beach in Frisco. We plan to come back in the off season & enjoy some relaxation without the kids! One small suggestion: add a couple more pillows to the master bed. The host was great to work with, positive attitude, very responsive and fun sense of humor!

Acerca del anfitrión

Anfitrión: Amanda Cortez

Foto de perfil del anfitrión
Hi there! My name is Amanda, and I own Best Box with my husband, Marcelo. I grew up in the suburbs of Baltimore and spent my childhood vacations on the humble beaches of Ocean City, MD. While attending college in the early 90s, I interned at Norfolk Naval Station. On the advice of a co-worker, I made a solo day trip down Highway 12 one warm spring weekend. I was hooked. Since then, I've shared this special place with my family and closest friends. We've gotten to know every village on the island, and we're frequent visitors to Ocracoke.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

During the long, uncertain days of the pandemic, many of us took up new hobbies like knitting or breadmaking. I lost my mind and convinced Marcelo to buy this fixer-upper beach house with me. We could see she needed work, but we didn't realize until many months after closing the full extent of renovation required to make her safe and whole again. Our fun pandemic project turned into a two-year renovation journey that tested our marriage, our faith, and our finances.

Ah, but those sunsets. And the stars. And that clean ocean air... Sometimes a difficult journey has a way of opening your heart to the beauty around you. Because our renovation took so much longer than expected, we had the chance to build strong friendships with our neighbors in Brigand's Bay, and we've gotten to work with many long-time Outer Banks residents and their families. The people here are extraordinary. We've been vacationing on Hatteras Island for decades, but it was an honor to live like a local, even just for a little while.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

Best Box is a charming soundfront cottage that hasn’t forgotten her roots. She is, after all, a modular beach box: built in a factory, trucked down the highway in halves, lifted onto piles, and bolted together right down the middle. A house with such humble beginnings is lucky to be here, right on the shores of the Pamlico Sound. She’s full of antique furniture, all of it lovingly refinished and happy to share its story. Her white paneled walls are covered with art, much of it hand-made, purchased from local artists, or borrowed from our family home. Best Box is eager to share some of her firsts, too: first picture windows, first dishwasher, first soundfront boardwalk, and first time opening her doors to Outer Banks visitors! Truly, she's the Best Box.
