About this property

Pet Friendly🐶Walk to the Beach or Sound🏖Bikes🚴‍♀️Vintage and Original🏄‍♂️⛱

"The Shack Too" is a comfortable, relaxing, classic Outer Banks vacation cottage with a great location - in the center of it all, with a short walk or bike ride - we provide two - to the beach and the sound but still a quiet and tranquil escape. You can even rent a golf cart and leave the car behind - Target, Wawa, Food Lion, Belk, Chips Wine and Beer, and Front Porch coffee shop are all within a few blocks. We provide a parking pass to the neighborhood's private parking areas -one just across the street from the beach access at the end of the street with a lifeguard (in season) and at the sound for viewing fabulous sunsets. This cozy beach cottage is the perfect place to relax.

The open living and kitchen area feature original artwork on the walls, classic beadboard wood paneling and floors, and eclectic, vintage, and antique family furnishings are combined to make this a true beach "home away from home". The front porch is an outdoor extension of the living area with a seating group, dining table, and no outside access from the ground level - perfect for hanging out and catching the ocean breezes.

Not your cookie-cutter listing or typical beach box, this cottage has unique original touches with a comfortable, vintage feel and is just the right size for a couple or even two couples, two or three friends traveling together, or a small family. And we are dog friendly, so there is no need to leave your furry family members behind. Make your memories here and experience living the classic beach lifestyle at The Shack Too.

Things to Note:

This is an elevated cottage and is not suitable for infants or toddlers.

This cottage is a raised/on piling type cottage with one flight of outside stairs to the main living level.

Double-size bunk beds sleep one, two, three, or four people comfortably with total head clearance for all. A built-in ladder is provided for top bunk access.

Pets are welcome, but details about the pets must be provided and approved by the owners before the final booking. A $125.00 non-refundable Pet Fee will apply.

Guest access

You have access to the entire cottage and yard, the downstairs laundry and storage, and the outside hot and cold water shower. The 5th street beach is a public beach with a Lifeguard in the season (Memorial Day to Labor Day), and a stoplight crosswalk to walk to the beach. Or, you can use the provided pass for the private Wright Shores parking lot at the beach access. Wright Shores also has a private neighborhood Sound Front Access at the bayside end of 5th Street you may use.

Other things to note:

You will need a pass provided by the home to use the Wright Shores beach parking lot. If you lose the pass there will be a $250 fee to replace the pass.

Wonderful Home & Stay
We spent 4 days in this wonderful house. It is everything described in the rental and more. There are so many interesting pictures, games, etc. the porch is wonderful and this house has everything you would need. The walk to beach is quite short and there is a cart to carry chairs and cooler. The walk to the intercostal beach is also a short walk. We did a sunrise and a sunset. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Communication was excellent and we would certainly stay here again. A delightful rental!!

Great cottage w/ a lovely covered porch shaded by a perfect live oak tree!
The house was as described. Very charming and well equipped! The window seat is a great reading and napping nook. The porch with the live oak shade tree and gentle breeze was a perfect spot all day long; morning coffee, breakfast and lunch, and evening talks. We enjoyed the comfortable outdoor furniture and table and chairs. The porch was perfect for our pets to have outdoor time without the constraints of a leash. The A/C worked very well! A big plus is the Wright Shores parking pass at the Fifth St beach access! Great place, great assistance, and prompt responses from the property management. Very pleased and hope to book again!

Great find!
We really enjoyed our stay at The Shack Too! It is in a great location, close to the beach, and all KDH activities. The house is very comfy, relaxing, and felt like home. The beds were very comfortable, the house was very clean, and equipped with everything we needed for our stay! Our son loved the bunk beds, and the reading nook in the house. The porch is lovely, and our dog had the best time! It was also nice to be able to utilize some of the beach items included with the property! Annette was great and super responsive. We highly recommend this property, we are super grateful we booked it! We hope to return next summer. Great find! :)

Great weekend away
We enjoyed our stay at the shack! Coffee was especially nice on the porch overlooking the live oaks. The parking pass made it super easy to haul our stuff to the beach. We will definitely visit again!
