About this property

Pet friendly beach cottage – 5 minute walk to beach access!

Launch your vacation with this updated beach box in the heart of OBX! The SandPyle is located on Duck Road in Southern Shores and is a 5-minute walk to the closest beach access. Parking on the immediate streets and area of the beach accesses is limited to those with parking permits and guests of the surrounding properties so the beach will not be crowded!

With it being centrally located, guests will be able to bike (a bike/walking path runs all the way through Southern Shores & Duck) or drive to their favorite restaurants in both Duck and Southern Shores to include Red Sky, Blue Point, Aqua, Ducks Cottage Coffee, Southern Shores Pizza, Vilai Thai Kitchen, Barrier Island Bagels, Steamers, Coastal Cravings, Coastal Cantina, Duck Donuts and Donutz on a Stick. Need to snag some groceries? Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, Publix, and local, fresh seafood markets are nearby. There is also a neighborhood park and playground just a few blocks away.

Popular local attractions include: Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Jockey's Ridge State Park, Wright Brother's Memorial, Currituck Lighthouse, Pine Island Audubon Sanctuary & The Lost Colony Outdoor drama. There are also multiple water sports rental businesses within a 10-15 minute drive with jet skis, kayaks, boats, and other fun water toys. A NEW brewery, Swells'a Brewing, opened Summer 2021 & is a 15 minute drive from the house; it perfectly accommodates both adults and kids!

The SandPyle has 3 bedrooms (two with queens, one with 2 twins), 2 full baths, a covered front & back porch with Adirondack chairs, and a fully covered downstairs for space to play games, hang out and watch TV (plus an outdoor shower!). The large driveway has parking for four to five vehicles (depending on size) and is long enough for just about any boat and trailer. You will enjoy all the comforts of home and then some, including high-speed internet, ample seating in living and dining rooms, central AC/heat, ceiling fans, washer and dryer, full kitchen with dishwasher and microwave, full pot/K-Cup combo coffee maker. You will not miss your favorite TV shows or sporting events while on vacation - the SandPyle has a smart TV in the living room with access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, You Tube, and you can also cast shows from your smartphone.

To keep our rates low, we do not provide linens but if you cannot bring yours, we will be happy to provide a list of nearby businesses that rent linens and other vacation needs (beach chairs, baby needs, etc.) by the week.

We have the following extra items for your enjoyment around the cottage and at the beach: 5-burner gas grill with propane provided, the Can Jam game to pass the time while grilling, an outdoor table and 5 chairs on ground floor, 2 beach cruiser bikes, 6 beach chairs, and sand toys.

*** Dog lovers are welcome!!! Up to two dogs allowed but must be kennel (crate) kept if left home alone. One large and one medium kennel provided - if you bring two large dogs you will need to bring a 2nd large kennel. Also NEW this year a fully fenced area for your dogs!

Great Pet Friendly Vacation Home
The SandPyle was extremely clean and had everything we needed to enjoy a week away with our family. The enclosed pet area was very nice to have for our dog. The house was well-equipped and had plenty of room for our family of 6 to enjoy. And the walking path gave us easy access to the beach. We all agreed that we would love to stay there again!

Just perfect
We planned to bring our dogs but it didn’t work out but it would have been perfect for them too. Beach access was a block away. The house had everything we needed. Duck is just 5 minutes away with great restaurants. We would book this home again.
