A frontview of the home at dusk so you can see the light as it moves across the open deck and shaded areas!
Catch some rays on the top deck while sipping a cool beverage.
Main deck faces east and is sheltered by the upper deck, so plenty of shade to relax with morning coffee or an evening cocktail!
Avalon Pier at sunrise is an experience.  Let the Keurig brew your morning brew and take your Joe to go so you can watch the sun rise up over the horizon a peek through the pier.
The hammock is a favorite spot for a relaxing nap in the shade.

About this property

Soundside Coastal Charm Awaits -Bring your Small Boat,& Dog!

Step into the coastal charm of Captain's Cabin OBX, a hidden gem nestled at MP 6 between 158 and Bay Drive. This cozy 2 bed/1 bath beachbox home invites you to embrace laid-back island living.
Relish the art of relaxation as you bask in the sunshine or savor mesmerizing sunsets from either of the two outdoor deck levels. Seek solace below the house on warm days, away from the sun's embrace. Nestled in a serene neighborhood, with tantalizing eateries and delightful activities like mini golf and movies just a stone's throw away.

Convenience is key in this central location, providing seamless access to the nearby soundside boat launch and a short drive to the iconic Avalon Pier and beach parking. Unleash your adventurous spirit with a kayak or small boat expedition, feel the sand between your toes, or simply indulge in a tranquil moment on the decks with a book and a steaming cup of morning tea or coffee (perfectly paired with fresh Duck Donuts). As the sun bids adieu, sip on a tantalizing cocktail and relish the captivating ambiance.
Captain's Cabin OBX welcomes you with its thoughtfully curated amenities, including queen size memory foam beds, crisp white linens, alarm clocks boasting calendar display and temperature readings, USB charging ports, plush bath towels, and a well-equipped eat-in kitchen with a charming breakfast bar area perfect for a quick bite, relaxing conversation while preparing dinner, or a fun game night. The light-filled living area beckons with ample seating options, complete with a full-sized pullout sofa bed.

Embark on an unforgettable journey exploring the Outer Banks. Immerse yourself in history at the Wright Brothers Memorial, conquer the mighty Jockey's Ridge, encounter wild horses that roam the island's north end, tee off at world-class golf courses (or delight in mini golf with the whole family), and marvel at the iconic lighthouses that grace the Outer Banks.

For beach enthusiasts and avid fishermen, our abode offers easy access to the soundside boat launch on Dock Street, while permit parking at Avalon Pier awaits anglers and beach lovers alike.
Unwind amidst the tranquility of the unfenced backyard or embrace the enchanting vistas from the east-facing decks while sipping your morning brew or relishing an evening glass of wine. Witness the sun tenderly retreat beyond the trees from the upper deck. For those seeking beach bliss, take advantage of parking at Avalon Pier's beach access (first come, first serve), or embark on a kayak or small boat adventure from the soundside boat ramp with ample parking.
We provide bed linens and towels, ensuring a seamless arrival experience. With off-street parking for two cars (or one car and a small boat), high-speed Wi-Fi, ceiling fans with overhead lighting, and new memory foam queen mattresses in each bedroom, your comfort is our priority. Nightstands with reading lamps, spacious closets, and dressers complete the cozy retreat. Alternatively, embrace serenity in the shaded seating area beneath the house.

Captain's Cabin OBX is a mere 3/4 of a mile from the inviting 5th St. Beach Access, Avalon Pier, and beach access with fishing and parking amenities. Additionally, the soundside boat launch is less than 1/2 mile away, beckoning water enthusiasts.

Please note that the Outer Banks lacks the extensive public transportation options of bustling cities. However, fear not, as taxis, Lyft, and Uber are readily available. Embrace the island spirit and traverse the stunning landscape by bike, whether you bring your own or rent from our exceptional local partners. Explore the charming shops, soak in the sun on pristine beaches, or embark on pier adventures with ease.
As an exclusive perk, your stay includes complimentary access to the Outer Banks YMCA in Nags Head for the whole family, offering an array of amenities such as an indoor pool, hot tub, and sauna as well as weightlifting and cardiovascular training equipment, racquetball court, fitness classes and water park access in season (May through early September).

About the host

Hosted by Captain's Cabin OBX

Host profile image
We enjoy the sand and the surf, visiting and climbing lighthouses, and trying local cuisine. We've always wanted a beach house on the island, and to share it with others so that they can experience a piece of the magic that is the heart of the Outer Banks. Great food, great people, and Southern hospitality in a rustic beach setting.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property for the convenience of a location close to restaurants and activities, without sacrificing the serenity of a quiet residential neighborhood that really feels like a beach retreat away from it all.

What makes this property unique

Captains Cabin OBX offers convenient access to the best dining, outdoor activities, and amusements in the Outer Banks, with the peace and quite of a residential neighborhood - all less than a mile to the beach and less than half a mile to the sound.

This home is close to everything from miniature golf and movies to beach and sound access, in a quiet residential setting. The home has an open and inviting floor plan and the large back yard is secluded and quiet to relax after a day of fishing or beach -going.

The heart of the outer banks, with sand and sun and activities and dining galore within walking distance or a short drive! Bring your small boat or kayak for use at the sound side boat launch, put your toes in the sand at the beach, or simply relax on the decks with a book and coffee or tea!
