About this property

2 Minute Walk to the Beach!

Edgewater II has been in my family for almost 30 years! We have enjoyed so many wonderful memories there, and now with a complete renovation, it is ready to provide 30 more years of memories. Everything in the home has been recently updated including the kitchen and two baths, one with a walk-in tile shower. The new trex decks await your arrival, complete with three eating areas including a screened-in porch, adirondack chairs and chaises. There are four bedrooms: 2 Queens, 1 with 2 Twins, and 1 with 2 Bunks. There are four flat-screen TVs, 2 DVD players. Beach chairs are provided. There is also a basketball hoop and a park grill with table and seating area.

The cottage is less than a 2 minute walk to the beach!

Edgewater II was perfect for our family. We had plenty of room for all of us to relax and enjoy our week at the beach.The views were excellent, we could see and hear the ocean from the upper deck. The kitchen had everything we needed. The hosts were generous with the number of beach chairs and other items for maximum enjoyment at the beach. Would definitely reserve this beautiful home again!

Rosana, It truly makes me smile that you felt the cottage was inviting. That was one of my goals while renovating. I find it to be a very peaceful place, and every time I am there, I am also trying to figure out when I can get back! Take care, Christie

We enjoyed a friend getaway in this spacious cottage! Everyone commented on the comfortable beds. We loved our quick walk to the beach. Enjoying our meals on the screened in porch was delightful. Check in and communication with the host was easy and efficient. I'd highly recommend booking your Outer Banks vacation hete!

The perfect vacation home

This was our first time renting a vacation house and we could not have been happier. It had everything we needed, especially the kitchen which was great since we wanted to eat in most of the time. When we weren't out and about or at the beach, we loved lounging on the decks (and in the hammock) and eating on the screened porch. The location was great, so close to grocery stores, restaurants, a farm stand, shopping, a nature trail, and of course the beach! The beach was just a short path away and we could see the ocean from the house. It's a great house on a wonderful island!

Great location and spacious home

This house is in a great location with some ocean views from the front deck. There is plenty of space in the upstairs area in the dining and living room for a family of 8. Some of the furniture is outdated like in the living room and some of the bedrooms. Overall, the house was clean and the appliances in the kitchen and laundry room all worked great. There were plenty of beach toys for the kids as well as beach chairs provided and a bike. The hostess Christie was very responsive and kind throughout the whole process. Would definitely recommend if looking for a home near the beach!

Better than expected!

Location! Location! This house is truly a two minute walk to the beach, which meant easy access during the day, frequent morning walks, and nighttime crab watching with my grandson who brought a flashlight. We were pleasantly surprised at how spacious this listing was; as the pictures didnt do it justice. The personal touches were much appreciated too. Games, puzzles, and an extensive library for beach reads. I enjoyed one of the three patios for just this reason. Our host, Christie, was kind, responsive, and professional. Everything was just as listed, and check-in was a breeze. Will definitely return at a future date!

Homey Spacious Cottage Close to Beach

Our whole family, several adults and two kids, really enjoyed our stay in this clean, homelike, spacious, and well-appointed cottage. We all loved the multiple decks, screened rooms, hammock and multiple outdoor chairs, large great room area and dining table, nice clean well-appointed kitchen, and multiple bedrooms. We appreciated all the games and books too, and shells and beach gear collected in the carport area--amusing for the kids to look through and play with. Lots of TVs. But the best part: the beach is just around the corner and over the steps over the dune. So easy to come and go from cottage to beach. (One heads-up if stairs are challenging: there are two flights of steps in the living space; the main living area/kitchen is two flights up.) Bottom line, we all loved this cottage and enjoyed our time here.

Perfect!

This property was perfect for us. (Two parents and 4 children- 19, 17, 14, and 1) It is VERY close to the beach. Made coming and going no problem at all. The owner was a pleasure to work with. We very much appreciate having been able to rent for a partial week. The home décor does not feel out-of-date and was reasonably clean. The neighborhood has many permanent residents, according to a neighbor, and was very quiet. The beach is wide, clean and not crowded. The grocery store is nearby. While on the wild horse tour, we were shown a $25,000/week property with 30 baths, a wedding chapel, cooking staff, etc. We can honestly say we would prefer this home over that one! Better beach and location! Hope we can come back sometime.

About the host

Hosted by Christie Wisotzki

Host profile image
Although my husband and I just took ownership of this cottage in 2012, it has been in my family since 1985 when my parents built it. Our family just loves the Outer Banks, particularly the northern beaches, so much so that we were married there in my parent's house, who retired here years ago. We are very proud of our charming cottage and are looking forward to sharing it with others, to provide a place for relaxation and peace away from the hustle of our normal lives.
