DOGS AND DAY DREAMS @ COCO'S COTTAGE !!!

LAID BACK LOCATION WITH A CASUAL VIBE.
"Coco's Cottage" is a classic OBX "beach box" with what you & your dogs need to RELAX and enjoy your time at the beach. Located near MP 6.5, between the roads. Built in 1972, much of the interior remains unchanged, including some of the decor & artifacts! 2 full baths & 2 queen beds, along with 2 twin beds. Comfortable furniture, kitschy decor, pet-friendly front porch and under-house area (picnic table, grill, ice cream maker, shower), LOTS of kitchen utensils, and tons of relaxing vibes! Games, books, Wi-Fi, TV's and the same beach & salt air as available at places costing 18 times as much!!
1 block from the Beach Road & 5th St beach access at the LIFEGUARD BEACH. 3 blocks from the Avalon Fishing Pier. Target (with Starbucks) is at the end of the street, and on the way to the beach. Belk, Food Lion and other shopping is across the by-pass from Target - all within walking distance.
**NEW for 2025 - North Carolina's FIRST 'WAWA' has opened across from Target. Get your subs and head to the beach !!!! **
As Granny used to say, "Our house is clean enough to be healthy, and dirty enough to be happy." We hope you can visit and "live like a local" while enjoying all that the area has to offer. SIT! STAY !!

Short walk to the beach

This house is a short walk to the beach and pier. It is also close to any stores or restaurants you want to go to. It was a nice stay. We went in the off season end of May first of June so the weather was in the 60's and so was the water temperature.

Perfect Beach Vacation

This is like traveling to a family beach house, full of great memories, and a simpler time. It’s a two block walk to the ocean, two block walk to Target, *very* short drive to anything you need groceries-wise. The neighborhood is quieter than I expected. Close to lots of attractions and restaurants. Again— it’s absolutely perfect for a family getaway.

Lots of great song recommendations!

The first thing my husband noticed were the cute post its randomly placed with song recommendations! The house is super close to the beach and was very cute! We had our 2 doodles and they absolutely loved the closed in porch to be on neighborhood watch the entire trip. The owner was very friendly and check in was super easy!

Amazing Cottage

The description in VRBO is very accurate. It’s an older cottage with paneled walls, but SO charming!! It was a perfect space for our friends and family. The host was extremely polite, helpful and responded in a very short time to answer any questions. We enjoyed the week there with a very short walk to the beach! Can’t wait to return…

Recommend- great location

We enjoyed our trip a lot. cocos cottage was in a good location and an easy walk to the beach and Target. It’s centrally located in the area and a quick drive to lots of restaurants, stores and activities. The house was good, easy to check in and good communication with Don. It is a little older home but is in a quiet neighborhood and has everything that you would need. We would stay there again and definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a great beach vacation house!

Fun Extended Weekend Trip

The listing is as described and pictures are accurate. Within driving distance to anything you could think of needing and within walking distance to the beach. Plenty of parking space and a hose / shower to rinse off all of the sand after a day at the beach. The host was easy to communicate with and was quick to answer any questions we had. Definitely somewhere that we will consider for future OBX family trips!

Christmas at Coco's

Only problem was trying to contact Don to confirm arrival. Vrbo would not allow access, kept steering me to setting up a Vrbo account which we are not interested in. Otherwise, enjoyed our time at Coco's.

Disliked: Check-in

Unfortunately, there was a storm in the beach views weren’t very good. Not the owners fault. The house is old and showing it didn’t feel very inviting. It wouldn’t be a bad place to stay if you had six cats. It certainly wasn’t worth the money that I paid for it.

Good times!

Location was excellent and the house actually seemed larger than the pictures showed. Bed were comfortable and everything worked as expected.The electronic door lock was a little weird, but we got that figured out. Probably because I had never used one like this before.10/10 would definitely stay again.Thanks!

Lovely little cottage!!

This was our first time booking an actual house for our vacation. The neighborhood is lovely and the cottage was in a great location! The cottage remimds me a lot of our family cabin so we felt right at home. The host was very prompt with all communications which made check-in and check-out a breeze! We would stay there again for future vacations!

Nice older house. Only drawback was the window unit AC units didn’t cool very well until the 3rd day of our stay when I discovered the filters had an inch of dust and hair, I cleaned them all then it was better. Didn’t get to go out on the beach but for 1 day of a 7 day stay, not the Host’s problem or fault that it rained and was in the low 50’s all week.
