We Loved the Great Location and Being Just a Short Walk From the Beach
We had such a wonderful stay! The house was a great location and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach, so visited several times each day.

We were there for a wedding and very happy that four couples could be comfortable and spend a lot of time together in the house. I would highly recommend this house and the host are five stars. The communication was top-notch.

An Absolutely Amazing Spot With Plenty of Room, Direct Beach Access, and Accommodating Hosts!
This was an absolutely amazing spot! We were a group of 17 total and everyone had a place to unwind and plenty of room to get together. The boardwalk directly to the beach was unbeatable. Our hosts were responsive and accommodating. We will definitely consider booking when we come back to OBX next year!

The family and I had a wonderful stay. The house was perfect and it was great to have a sturdy wooden walkway all the way to the beach. Jose was a wonderful host!

We had a lovely trip with a family of 8 adults and one child. The space was beautiful, comfortable, clean and very family friendly. They have a baby gate and high chair available that we utilized. The house made the weekend wonderful in spite of the stormy weather.

Thank you so much, Anne! We’re glad your family had a wonderful stay and found the home comfortable and family friendly. Happy to hear the house made the stormy weekend just as enjoyable. We’d love to host you again!
We really enjoyed how close it was to the beach. The beds were really comfortable, too! The pool was a huge bonus, too. Very comfortable vacation accommodations for a large family with kids.

We had a wonderful time at Jose and Jennifer’s place. The hosts were very responsive. The house is loaded with amenities like beach chairs, bikes, and coffee beans. And it’s an easy walk to the beach.

Jose and Jennifer were great hosts; very attentive and prompt with any questions/concerns we had prior to our stay (and during). Beautiful home/right by the beach, house was clean/enjoyable. Would highly recommend!

Why they chose this property
We fell in love when we saw The Sea Captain's House...We bought this beach house because we loved the views from all the rooms, specially the top decks. We love spending time as a family together by the water and we are excited to share this home with you.
It’s the perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy each other’s company. The sunsets are beautiful, the waves are calming and you can watch your kids play in the sand for hours on end. Plus, it’s just a short 78 steps away and nothing to worry about with the little ones, as there are no roads to cross, the path to the beach is right outside our door.
What makes this property unique
The Sea Captain's House was designed with you and your family in mind. We have thought of everything you might need, and not want to pack to bring to the beach. We have 6 brand new beach cruisers (bikes), body boards, beach towels, umbrellas, beach wagon, beach toys, 2 coolers...all you need to bring is sun block!
This coastal home was designed by Jennifer Overton, a licensed architect and designer, with a focus on light, airflow, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. The architecture reflects a modern coastal aesthetic, with intentional design choices that enhance both comfort and oceanfront living
One of our unique benefits is our guest service, attention to detail and fully supported set up at the house so you don't feel like you need anything when you are on vacation. Leave all that to us and you just worry about making sure everyone is smiling!
Bring your family and friends to enjoy this beach house. There are endless possibilities when it comes to what kind of vacation experience our home can provide for your group!
