The second floor consists of two bedrooms and a bathroom. The first is a king-size bed while the other is a queen-size bed with a private balcony. Both bedrooms are adjoined by a Jack and Jill bathroom. One fold away bed is also located upstairs also.
The area under the cottage is a favorite area of ours that consists of a sitting area with chairs, pub style picnic table, television and a stereo. It also has a hammock for lounging around if you choose to do so. The full laundry room and half bath are located downstairs also for your convenience. There is an outdoor shower for cleaning off after a long day at the beach. The storage closet downstairs is stocked with beach chairs, coolers, and toys for the beach. There are cornhole boards for the evenings in the driveway while cooking on the grill.

This was our third stay at this home. We've never been disappointed! We love the clean outdoor shower, well-stocked with linens, kitchen items, and beach toys! We enjoyed spending time on the patio below, playing outdoor games while grilling out. Kids enjoyed all the board games. Easy walk to the beach. Very quiet street, but easy access to shops and restaurants. Always hard to say goodbye!

This is a great place to stay. The walk to the beach is a couple short blocks and there are free parking spaces at the public beach entrance. The house was clean and kitchen was equipped with cooking pans and tools. The carport movie game area was a hit with our family.

This home was a great place to stay. The home is in good shape and very clean. Only a couple minute walk to the beach and nearby to everything. The neighborhood was quite also well kept. Definitely worth the stay if your heading to the outer banks.

Great amenities

The house was the cleanest rental property I think I've ever stayed in! Beach was a short walk away, appreciated the proximity to restaurants and conveniences. We had a great week of weather and my family really enjoyed hanging out underneath the house playing the ring toss and laying in the hammock. Thank you for a lovely vacation!

Outer banks vaca

The house was great for our family vacation. The decor was beautiful and fit the home. The tiki room was an added bonus for us. Enjoyed eating and spending time in that room, especially when it was raining. The owner was very responsive to answer questions. We would definitely stay in this house again.

Great close vacation spot!

We really enjoyed staying at this place! The owner was very thorough in communication. The place was just as described and the price was very reasonable! Our children loved it there. It was even more convenient with all the toys, chairs, and coolers that were there and we could use. There was even a beach wheeler available. Made our beach trips so much more convenient with the beach wheeler already there. Lastly, the location is amazing! Right by most of the stores, grocery’s, and restaurants. It’s not far from Roanoke Island, which we were eager to visit! Great place!

We spent a week in July 2023 at this cottage and absolutely loved it. The price, location and amenities were perfect for our family of six. The cottage is clean, comfy and convenient to beach, shopping, grocery stores etc. We spent a lot of time hanging out with our adult children in the tiki bar area under the cottage making memories. We look forward to our next opportunity to stay here again.
