We have stayed at this lovely house many times, and it is always fantastic. The house is stocked with everything you would need, and the game room is a huge hit with kids of all ages. The host is by far one of the most responsive you’ll ever deal with, and she is extremely warm and friendly. Can’t go wrong with this fun, historic cottage!

This was a perfect location for our family trip to the outer banks! The home was spotless and so adorable! The hosts messaged multiple times to inquire about our stay and promptly responded to any questions! We would absolutely stay here again!!

The board games were wonderful for our family and the game room outside was amazing! So nice to have coffee provided! Very clean! Decorated beautiful. We will definitely be back and stay here again!

Thank you so much Kimberly! We look forward to hosting you on your next trip.
I cannot say enough about this property. It is exactly as described plus all the extra little details! My family stayed for 3 nights and our only regret is we couldn’t stay longer. It’s far enough outside of the popular touristy areas for downtime and close enough when you want to head that way for some entertainment! We hope to be able to stay here again in the future. Thank you Rita!!

Thank you so much Alicia! I'm so glad you enjoyed your time at our cottage. We think it's the ideal location too! See you next time!
Absolutely loved the location. Right on the intercoastal. Nothin but birds, cicadas, and the soft flow of the water. We ate outside in the enclosed porch and out by the water. This home is everything they say it is and then some. The Morris Farm was awesome, huge flea market type with outdoor seating shaded and non shaded with live music. I will stay here again! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Wonderful cottage for the family near the Outer Banks
Ritta was great to communicate with, the cottage and game room was clean, well appointed and kept the family entertained at night. The cottage is cozy and has coastal vibes. Overall, this is a great value and will provide positive experience for anyone visiting the Outer Banks area.

Thank you so much Bryan! My family enjoys the game room too. My husband did a great job putting it all together. I hope you and your family will visit again soon.
My family loved this house. They loved the game room and my husband loved fishing from the backyard. The house had everything we needed, it was decorated so nicely and it felt like home.

Thank you so much Krista! I'm so happy you and your family felt right at home and enjoyed the Game Room and the fishing. I hope you can return soon.
This was the best getaway cottage for a family with kids. The game room is awesome!!Beautiful kitchen and living room. Bedrooms are clean and beds are comfortable. This place is stocked up with everything you’d need. I’d leave pictures but they look EXACTLY like what is posted. I definitely want to come back. About 25 from Kitty Hawk.

Thank you Keith! I hope you can return the next time you want a relaxing vacation. We are open year round and the Fall is a great time to watch the yachts and sailboats head back south to Florida and the Bahamas.
We had a wonderful trip and stay at this beautiful cottage. Ritta provided everything we needed as well as suggestions for things to do in the area. Our “children” (ages 16,18 &21) loved the game room and the bedroom space upstairs. The fire pit was great and morning coffee on the screened-in porch was a great treat!

Hi Ken! Thank you so much. We love to drink coffee on the screened-in porch and watch the world wake up and the boats start going by. I'm glad your family enjoyed their stay. I hope you can visit again soon.
Our 2nd stay and just as great as the first. Kids love the game room, and the location is amazing. Ritta is a world class hostess and responds to any questions in literally minutes. We will be back next duck season!

Thank you William! We always enjoy hosting you and your family. We look forward to hearing from you next year.
Our family of five absolutely adored our stay at this lovely cottage! The space was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed watching peaceful boats pass by on the canal right at the edge of the yard. The location offered plenty to do with easy access to the Outer Banks Islands. Ritta shared many sites and locally enjoyed locations for us to consider. We will absolutely stay here again if we travel this way!

Thank you Miska! I agree with you. It is so relaxing to watch the boats pass while sitting on the screened in porch or by the water. I hope you can visit again soon.
We knew we wanted to explore all OBX had to offer so we selected this property and it was the perfect cottage for our needs and teens. A great game room for the teens too! Quiet, quaint and clean cottage; the host was very accommodating and communicated to make sure our stay was every we hoped it would be. A+
Cottage was perfect. Well appointed and exactly as listed. The game room was so much fun. The inter coastal waterway was peaceful to sit beside. The screened porch was a great to enjoy coffee in the morning and a drink at night. The owner is very attentive. Would definitely stay here again. We loved it!!

Thank you for choosing our cottage for your vacation! We are so happy you enjoyed your time. The screened in porch and the adirondack chairs next to the Intracoastal are our favorite places to relax, too! We hope you return soon.
The house was beautiful, clean and in a great location. Close enough to the beaches, water park and lots of eating and shopping near by. But, far enough away to enjoy the quiet family time too. The owner was very helpful in answering questions as well as recommending things to do near by. Very quick to respond to my messages. We have already discussed our trip there next year and making sure we stay at this house again.

About the host
Hosted by Ritta Cunningham
Our family is a busy one with college and high school students both playing sports. When we getaway we want to relax and slow down. We love the mountains and the beach. We split our time between this cottage and our condo at Wintergreen, VA.
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with this cottage the minute I saw it! It is so romantic and serene. We enjoy rocking in the screened in porch or relaxing by the fire pit in the rustic chairs built by my Dad. Everything about this home reminds me of family and what's important about life- enjoying the moment. I still get a thrill everytime a huge yacht cruises by or a humming bird stops to drink from the hostas.
What makes this property unique
Being along the Intracoastal is such a unique experience! Coinjock is rural enough, yet there are delicious food establishments close by and the OBX beaches and the hustle and bustle are only 30 minutes away.
