About this property

Pet Friendly - 2 Minute Walk to Beach - Updated and Modernized Spotless Clean

Beautiful original flat top cottage brings back the vintage feel with all of the updates and modern amenities you are looking for in a vacation cottage. Direct beach access on our street, 2 minutes away at the Avalon Pier. This super cute 3 bedroom 1 bath cottage has been lovingly renovated from top to bottom and is deep cleaned between each guest. Cleanest, cutest cottage on the beach. Great location close to everything. You will love the feel of this original Nags Head cottage perfect for the smaller group. 2 minute walk to the beach and the Avalon Pier. Bring the pets and make it a summer to remember!

This property was perfect for my family. It is in the perfect location for spending time at the beach and making memories, and keeping us cool at night during this heat wave! Everything we needed was available. We are thinking of making this a yearly trip, and my kids won't want to stay anywhere other than this "flamingo house!"

Loved our stay!

Our family of 4 and 1 four legged family member loved our stay at the Funky Flamingo! The house was just the right size. The neighborhood was quiet and we were so close to the beach! The house was clean and stocked with what we needed. The owner was extremely nice and made sure we were happy, she was a delight to talk to and work with. We will be coming back to the Outer Banks and the Funky Flamingo will be on our list to stay in again!

Great location, updated and super clean

We had a great vacation! My husband likes to fish and could walk to the pier (3-4 minutes), my son and I walked along and played on the beach right next to pier. Couple of restaurants within walking also. House was equipped with everything we could need and owner was very responsive. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely perfect!!

We absolutely loved this house! It was perfect. Decorated beautifully and well maintained. Morning walks to the beach to take in the sunrises took all of 3 minutes. The owner was very responsive to any questions or concerns (not that we had any) I would definitely recommend this property to anyone and will most definitely be renting again.
