Diane, Thank you for your kind review. However, not to be confusing to future guests, we are NO LONGER pet friendly. You booked your reservation before we made the hard decision to not allow pets, so we honored it. Several intendents occurred right after our renovation which caused us to make the decision. Thank you so much for your patronage, Vickie

Right on the beach with unmatched views of the ocean! We loved it here, especially on the back deck. It is a great place to see dolphins (and sting rays!).The recently upgraded appliances and kitchen cabinets were very nice. We really enjoyed it here and hope to return for future vacations.

Great stay! Easy-to-find property in a great location- just off the main road. Check in and out process was super easy. Multiple beds but the one we used was very comfortable. Host was very very communicative and very helpful. Property was clean. Could use a little updating but honestly not even close to a big deal. Perfect view of the sunrise and so amazing being right on the beach. Would definitely stay here again!

Megan, We are so happy you enjoyed our little beach cottage. It does have a HipNautical sunrise, as well as throughout the day! And, at the end of the day, I'm happy you found the beds to be comfortable. Nothing like a good night's sleep! We worked hard on the renovations of early 2025 but ran out of time to complete it. At least we got the kitchen and both bathrooms gutted and finished as well as all new level floors!!! We are so blessed to have year-round guests! You are welcome back anytime!

The home was just as portrayed and Vickie was great about keeping me updated on check-in. Unfortunately, we travelled in during a bad storm and only stayed 1 night. We were unable to enjoy the outdoor areas but as a frequent beach vacationer, I could tell that they would have been amazing had the weather been more amenable. Vickie was very understanding of the situation and was a great host. I would highly recommend a stay at this property.

About the host

Hosted by Vickie Berry

Host profile image
My husband, Don and I love to visit the ocean with our adult children and grandchildren, so we decided to try a VRBO home to share with others. We have two sons, five grandsons and three granddaughters. They age from 16 to 14 months. Special memories are made at the ocean, whether it is total relaxation at the oceanfront house, or exploring the surrounding areas. We hope it is the same for you.

Why they chose this property

Close proximity to the heart of Kitty Hawk which offers many restaurants and bars. Grocery shopping is less than 5 miles away as well as discounts stores.

What makes this property unique

The best part is the amazing, HipNautical VIEW! Enjoy your coffee in the morning or a relaxing drink in the evening on the new deck with phenomenal views. Eight tall dolphin watching chairs to enhance your view! Part of the deck is shaded by 1100, for those who don't want the direct sun. The south facing screen porch also has a snack area for enjoying the view. There is a sitting area under the house with sand toys for children to play during the rain or just to get out of the sun for a while. Also under the house is a shower complete with hot water and a foot rinse station.
