About this property

Cabana—Hatteras National Seashore

Our cabana is a free-standing, smoke-free, efficiency just steps away from the beach and has three decks including a roof top deck with an ocean view. Ground level parking is provided under the unit. The entry deck has a picnic table. Enjoy a morning cup of Joe or an evening wine or cocktail from the two life guard chairs on the roof top deck. The cabana has a fully equipped kitchen, full size bed with two chairs and small dining table. A starter pack with toilet paper, a roll of paper towels, hand soap, dish soap and trash bags are provided.

Linens, pillows, pillow covers, mattress cover, bedspread, bath towels, hand towels, and a dish towel are now provided. NOTE: BEACH TOWELS ARE NOT PROVIDED. Towels provided are not to be removed from the Cabana.

The unit has A/C and heat, cable and Wi-Fi.

Pets are allowed with a $80 plus tax pet fee. We ask that you adhere to the pet policy: All pets must be leashed at all times on the property. Please clean up after your pets. You may dispose of your bags in the dumpster located at the front of the property. Please do not leave your pets for long periods of time on the porch or decks or leave them unattended in the cabana for long periods of time as well.

Hatteras Village is located across Pamlico Sound 25 miles from the North Carolina mainland to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east of our Cabana which allows you to enjoy the remoteness of Hatteras Island and Hatteras Village. The National Park Service maintains the adjacent beach which is part of Cape Hatteras National Seashore. This is the only beach in the Carolinas where you can enjoy the warmth and romance of a fire on the beach. Sound side kayaking is easily accessible with a county put-in at the Hatteras Island Ocean Center less than a quarter mile down the road. Or enjoy ocean kayaking just a few steps away past the sand dune. Free downloadable NPS Beach Fire Permit is available online from the National Park Service website.

Great location, cute concept, clean inside. Could definitely use a newer mattress, an on demand water heater, and blackout curtains. It served its purpose to keep me out of the elements but not very comfortable.

Cabana stay

Everything was just as expected, a nice clean room by the beach. The neighbors there were really friendly, the restaurants nearby were all amazing, and the sunsets were spectacular. The room was quiet, there was beach access steps away and the view from the rooftop chairs was really cool.

After hurricane Erin came through, we weren't sure if or when we would be able to get to our place. John, my host, kept me up to date and worked with me through the whole week. We found out Saturday afternoon that we would be able to be in on Sunday and could stay till the next Sunday. I was so happy!

Perfect Getaway

Not our first time at the Cabanas, but it was our first time at this one specifically. It was great for our needs and we always enjoy the beach access it offers. We collected so many shells! We also loved Happy Belly Ice Cream and Dancing Turtle Coffee Shop. The Buxton Book Store is also a favorite. We appreciate you letting us stay here. It was just what we needed.

Great spot- would book again

Close to everything hattaras/Frisco/Buxton, & beach it’s on is better than Frisco or hattaras. Still great sunrises even though it mostly faces south. Loved the 3 balconies- used each of them daily. It was cool it was a “condo” but freestanding, so you have neighbors but no shared walls. Super hot water, cable tv, kickin ac. Overall wonderful for solo or couple. Would definitely book again

Based on feedback from guests a new bed is now in the unit. The photos in our listing accurately depict the cabana. The feel is that of a Classic Carolina beach cottage. Personal preferences determine the need of an update.

Great location - property needs updating

Having stayed at Hatteras Cabannas in the past I knew the location and size of the unit was not going to be a problem. It was just my wife, I, and are golden retriever staying at night. We had friends just down the road who had rented a big house and so days were spent with them. My problem with the unit and why I give it a 2 overall was that the owners have not done anything to update this unit besides a new bed. The tub diverter valve barely worked, blinds were missing slats, the screen door screen was torn and out of it's frame, the HVAC filter was dirty, the refrigerator door - all the door keepers for bottles were broken, the starter package of detergent was a tiny little pod that had to be broken up to use. And the list could keep going and going. This could be a great little spot to spend the week - and it was....,I just wish that owners would spend a little time and money maintaining places instead of just taking in rent.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Mar, 2020
The photos of our Cabana are an honest representation of what you will see and experience when you stay there. It is difficult to understand that seeing the photos that you would be surprised that in your opinion the “property needs updating”. The Cabana has the feel similar to a classic coastal Carolina cottage. We apologize for the issues you found which must be very recent as we have not been aware of them until you brought them to our attention. During heavy use in the height of tourist season there can be delays in doing some repairs. Strangely we consistently receive 4 and 5 star reviews from this and other listing services and quickly take care of issues that are brought to our attention. What do you mean at the end of your complaints to say “and on and on”? To insult us with “the owners would spend a little time and money maintaining places (sic) instead of just taking in rent” is completely out of line.

OK

Needs work. Plaster in ceiling do to leaks gone. Bed too small. Needs a queen not a double. How about some black out shades. Two cups and two glasses? Other wise plenty of silver ware. House keeper left an envelope for a tip What is that about. Her job to get it clean.

Quiet Hatteras Getaway

John's cabana was a perfect location for a quiet getaway for me and my daughter. The location right on the beach couldn't be better, and the rooftop deck provides a nice view of the ocean and perfect sunset views in the evening! The cabana is a perfect size for a couple or small family and the kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed. We would definitely book again!

Small but efficient

340 sq ft is not a lot of room for 2 people and a big dog for a week but fortunately the weather was great and we spent days outside and really only used the place for showers and sleep. The mattress was way to soft for the the both of our liking and a bunch of command hooks strategically placed would have made a big difference in putting stuff away but overall the place functions well, is just a short walk to the beach and has the basics for cooking. Hieght limitations for truck/jeep parking so if you have a lift kit you may not be able to park under the unit.

About the host

Hosted by John Purifoy

Host profile image

My wife and are are not on the premises, so please call or text us anytime if you have any questions. Our permanent home is on the Pamlico River in what is known as the Inner Banks of North Carolina. We enjoy sailing, kayaking, fishing and just being outside and on the water. We have several mountain condos that we rent and we spend three to four months in the winter at our condo in Everglades City, Florida which we are hoping to have available for rental in the near future.

Why they chose this property

This cabana allows us to have our own little slice of oceanfront to enjoy and share with others. A great place to get away from the crowds, relax and take long walks along the beach.
