About the host
Hosted by carol giese
We bought our first vacation home in Southern shores in 1989 added a pool and became the first rental home on the outer banks with a pool. We built and remodeled many homes over the years on the outer banks making OBX our year round residence in 1995, In 2001 built "The Ship Captains Cottage" We really enjoy our relaxing time spent at "The Ship Captains Cottage" and I am sure you will enjoy your visit also.
Why they chose this property
The Ship Captains Cottage is a traditional seaside cottage built by craftsmen to withstand the test of time. The unique floor plan offers many living areas to accommodate several family groups allowing privacy for all ages and its designed to make a single couple visit a quant, private relaxing retreat. The Ship Captains Cottage is not the typical OBX rental home there is no reverse floor that places the kitchen on the upper floor. enjoy the peace and quiet of the private community yet blocks to the main bypass to explore what the island has to offer.
What makes this property unique
Outstanding privacy at a peaceful waterfront cottage offering breathtaking sunsets surrounded by 100 year old oak trees making a very relaxing true vacation.
