Relax on the patio or in the hot tub after a day of beaching or shopping, or enjoy the H/C outdoor shower for a real OBX treat! Dozens of restaurants are within 10 miles, there's a grocery store within one mile and lots of shops as well. Thoughtfully furnished with a few sturdy antiques and modern conveniences like an Echo dot, it's perfect for two. Comfy chairs at the dining table provide a place to relax with a book or computer when you're not eating. Chill with the 40' flat screen tv (Roku + Hulu + Netflix + more) in the bedroom with queen bed and charging stations for all of your devices. Less expensive than a motel and more private, the Studio has just enough kitchen (sink, small fridge, micro, Keurig single-cup coffeemaker, induction burner and toaster/convection oven) to prepare a little supper and plenty of room to unpack and relax.
Your private patio is on the back of the house and sports a sectional couch, a gas grill (gas supplied), a hot tub and H/C outdoor shower.
All linens are included and are laundered with hypo-allergenic/scent free products. We also supply toilet paper, soap, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel for your convenience. In the kitchen you'll find dish soap, a few pods of coffee to get you started, and a few basic cooking supplies. Please don't forget to bring your own beach towels and chairs. Pets will be considered for an additional $100 each fee. (Two pets max)
In consideration of future guests, air frying is not allowed in the Studio. There is a table on the patio with an outlet next to it that may be used for using your Air Fryer. An extra cleaning charge must be applied if air frying has occurred inside.
This is the separate ground floor apartment in our home and we live and work upstairs, so we'll be sharing an ordinary house without any special soundproofing. We have provided an air purifier in the bedroom that works as a white noise machine, as well. We make extra efforts to be quiet early and late and hope you will, too. Guest access Keyless entry means you can check in anytime after 3pm without worrying if the host is at home to let you in! This property provides secure, keyless entry with an August Smart Lock. You can lock and unlock the door with your smartphone, using a unique virtual key or personal entry code issued to you for the duration of your stay. We also offer regular keys. Other things to note Fact is the Outer Banks is on a major hurricane track. If you are concerned about a hurricane ruining your trip, we encourage you to purchase separate trip insurance. Sadly, if an evacuation is declared the law requires you to leave the OBX and we can't refund you.

We spent a lovely week at the apartment. It is very well stocked and the bed was comfortable. We enjoyed coming back to the hot tub after our beach days! Highly recommend!
The studio apt had great vibes, nice outdoor spaces, cooking options (grill and induction burner) and great location. Couple that with excellent communication from the host and you have winner. Really enjoyed our stay.
This cozy little place was everything it said it would be and more! The host has done a wonderful job of making this little space feel like a home away from home. Lots of extra little touches that you don't typically find with rentals. Will definitely be booking here again!

About the host
Hosted by Dawn
I work for a cool local kiteboarding company called EPIC Kites. My husband and I live and work upstairs most of the year with our giant cats Max and Oliver. I have been on the OBX for over 30 years and can't imagine living anywhere else! I love the ocean, traveling, and working with non-profit organizations to stay connected to this community that I love.
Why they chose this property
My neighborhood is a hidden gem on the OBX. Tucked away near the sound but still only a mile from the ocean and close to stores and restaurants.
What makes this property unique
The house is surrounded by Live Oaks and your private patio overlooks a small lawn perfect for relaxing and pets.
