David and Kerry were wonderful hosts, very welcoming and were there to answer any questions we may have had. The cottage was cozy with spectacular views of the ocean and sunrise, the hosts really take care of the property and their guests. We had a relaxing weekend getaway in a beautiful cottage that was perfect for our family. Highly recommended Current View Cottage and look forward to future stays.

The location was great. Our stay In the downstairs bedroom was very comfortable. The kitchen was very nice and well-stocked. The other couple thought the upstairs bed was uncomfortable. (Owners said the mattresses upstairs are going to be replaced.) Also, it was difficult to have to come downstairs to take a shower, if staying upstairs. The home was clean and comfy. Great communication with owners!

Even the winds of hurricane Erin could not debunk this week in the outer banks. Everything was beautiful, from the reading nook, and the view of the ocean to thoughtful little surprises from the hosts. The communication was top notch as well. Kerry worked with me, not only to keep the property protected, but my stay as well.

Perfect Vacation

Our stay at the Current View house was perfect. The house is perfectly located, beautifully decorated, very clean and well stocked with everything we needed to enjoy the week. The vast amount of beach gear was so wonderful for multiple families that included both teenagers and little ones. The hosts were incredibly generous with the information they shared about the area and a cookie tray sent to the house that the kids were especially fond of! It is clear that the owners of this home care very much about their renters with all of the attention to detail. They provided the perfect place for us to celebrate our parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, and we are very grateful. We will be back!

Great location and wonderful communications!

We were two families (4 adults and 5 kids) spending our 15th NYE in OBX. The location cannot be beat! We really enjoyed the hot tub with views of the ocean. The access to the beach was excellent. The only downside is that there is not a full bathroom on the 2nd floor.

Cute and cozy cottage for some needed downtime

Loved staying at the cottage. Location to beach was nice- just a short walk. The place was clean and had everything you would need. Loved that sheets and towels were provided. Roomy for everyone to relax. The street in front is a cut through street so it can be busy which made it hard to go walking or running due to speed of cars. There was a walking/running lane but half the time it was covered by sand so it just made it a bit difficult to enjoy walking to places. Other than that a great relaxing week. Would definitely stay again. Thank you Kerry and David!!

Amazing Vacation cottage for families!

Our family had a wonderful experience at the View Cottage! The house was spotless upon arrival, every room was cleaned thoroughly. The house is decorated beautifully! Every room was cozy and gave you the beachy vibes you expect to find at a beach house. The home was fully stocked with everything a family could possibly need. We loved that the kids room was attached the master room (separated by pocket doors) and was filled with board games and had an adorable little reading nook that my kids enjoyed! The walk to the beach was a little bit tricky for young kids, it's not far at all but you have to cross a road that gets busy. The outdoor shower was great to wash off the beach sand. The outdoor space under the house was a great place to hang out, they even have a cute kids' kitchen that will entertain the youngest guests and keep them cool in the shade. The home owners are fantastic! Prior to our arrival, they kept us updated on the sand dune restoration efforts. During our vacation, they warnws us know about the increased number of jelly fish in the area. They responded to all inquiries within minutes! By far, the best rental experience we have ever had! Would definitely recommend booking this beautiful home to all families!

Another great week!

This was our 4th year at this cottage and it has continued to hold up under new ownership. The location is very convenient to the beach access just two houses down. The storage room downstairs has plenty of supplies for playing in the surf and sand; shovels, buckets, boogie boards. Just don't forget your beach towels. We discovered Tullio's Bakery in Duck this year. Their pastries were good and worth the 15-20 minute drive up route 12. We enjoyed an airboat tour out of Manteo, which was picturesque and informative. There are plenty of other fun activities right in the area. Wild horse tours, dolphin tours, kayaking tours; we have enjoyed them all! If you like lighthouses, the Currituck and Bodie lighthouse are open and within a reasonable driving distance. I'm still waiting for Hatteras to be accessible again. We like to cook and the kitchen had everything we needed for the week. There is a flat-top electric griddle in the closet of the downstairs master which we found helpful for breakfast time! The newly installed spa and deck continue to be great features of this home and allow you to enjoy the view across the dunes to the ocean. Part of my party arrived about 20 minutes before the 4:00 check-in time and the house was not fully ready; towels not yet washed, beds not made, floor not vacuumed. They were able to easily reach the property manager who came right over. He had a great personality and attitude and got everything finished in no time.

The hot tub was fabulous. It was clean and went to the perfect temperature. Great for our windy and chilly October stay! Our hosts kept in contact with us during the entire stay. Rooms were cozy, cottage like and very clean. The laundry worked great with no problems. My older daughter and her husband commented on how much they liked it versus a huge house on the beach and the walk was not far to go onto the beach although the red flags meant no swimming.

We had a great time at this cozy little cottage! We had 9 people and fit perfectly. There were a lot of beach toys, wagon, chairs and umbrellas to use for going to the beach which was just a 1 min walk away. We could see the sunrise, watch the ocean and relax to the sound of the crashing waves from the beautiful deck with ample chairs, a table and hot tub. We will definitely rent this place again if we ever come back the Outer Banks area. The hosts were extremely communicative and helpful! We arrived to a nice gift bag and then a tray of gourmet cookies was delivered a couple days in. They were the best!

We had a great time at the Ocean Views Cottage. Everything was very clean, my husband loved the bike.From a european perspective, I like to recommend to the owners to have some laundry detergent available, as well as maybe basic seasonings like salt and pepper, maybe oil. Otherwise it was a great stop during our road trip.

Kid-Approved, Parent-Loved OBX Escape!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this cozy cottage in Kitty Hawk! From the moment we stepped inside, we were impressed by how clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully decorated everything was. It had that perfect mix of beachy charm and modern comfort that made us feel instantly relaxed.The location couldn’t be better—just a short stroll to the beach, where we spent our days soaking up the sun and our evenings hunting for sand crabs (a huge hit with the kids!). We also loved being so close to great local restaurants and shops while still feeling tucked away in a peaceful spot.One of our favorite features was the hot tub—there’s nothing better than soaking under the stars after a day in the sun. The kitchen was well-stocked for meals at home, the beds were super comfortable, and we really appreciated the extras like bed linens, bath towels, beach chairs, and games.This cottage was the perfect home base for our Outer Banks adventure. We made such special memories here and can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful Visit at Current View Cottage

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Current View Cottage. Such a relaxing place to spend a few days. The cottage felt like a beautiful home away from home. Decor was lovely; the decking and outside chairs were wonderful to enjoy the sunrise and the views were great. The walk to the beach was very short. So nice that all the supplies- beach chairs, etc were provided. We were able to enjoy the hot tub only once but would have loved to have spent more time in it. Very new and well maintained. Kitty Hawk was a great place for our first visit to the Outer Banks. We would definitely stay here again if we are able to go back. Kerry provided lots of restaurant recommendations and every one we tried was great! We especially enjoyed spending Mother’s Day at The Colington Cafe. We highly recommend the Current View Cottage for your next trip to the Outer Banks!! Thanks, The Walker Family
