About this property
Semi oceanfront! and dog-friendly
Featured on HGTV! This seaside cottage features 3 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms. It is only 1 lot lot away from the ocean with ocean views from the kitchen, living room, and deck. There is easy beach access that is only a few steps (65 feet) away! This cottage is less than a half mile from the Pamlico Sound, which is a world class destination for kite boarding, wind surfing, and fishing. Upon arrival you will find a complimentary welcome package including 1 Roll of Paper Towels, 2 Rolls of Toilet Paper,1 Bottle of Dish Soap,1 Bottle of Laundry Detergent, 1 Bottle of Hand Soap, 2 Dishwasher Pods, and 1 Sponge in a reusable tote Bag to help you get settled. Only bed linens are provided. Bath towels are available for rental.
This cottage also features 4 flat-screen TV's, Roku soundbar 2021, high-speed internet, Wheeleez beach cart, and a 44 jet hot tub. Enjoy coffee (commercial Keurig and brewed),or cocktails on the swing inside the screened-in porch overlooking the waves.
This beach side cottage has a recently remodeled kitchen which features new quartz counter tops and stainless steel appliances. There are 2 newly renovated bathrooms which have granite vanities and glass vessel sinks. Of the three bedrooms, two have queen beds and the third bedroom has 2 twin beds. Beds have memory foam toppers and 100% cotton high-quality John Robshaw designer hand dyed, hand sewn bedding .
From the screened in porch and front deck you can hear, smell, and see the ocean!
This home also features an outdoor shower, charcoal Grill, stereo, CD and DVD player, and Keurig brewing station. We encourage you to view our other rental VRBO 2014620 for a very similar cottage that is located just steps away. Based on availability, these two cottages would provide the perfect solution for those traveling in larger groups so that everyone can have their own space yet still be together. The cottages are perfect for young families with a no traffic beach access.
This area of the Outer Banks has several well equipped tackle shops and great restaurants. During the summer months the beaches have multiple sea turtle nesting sites and incredible shelling opportunities. It is a short beach walk to Rodanthe pier.
You can take a drive south to Buxton to see and tour the Hatteras Island light house or take the free ferry to Ocracoke island, the HQ for the famous pirate Blackbeard. If you travel north there are also interesting things to visit like the Jockey's Ridge State Park and of course, the Wright Brothers Museum. Footprints is dog friendly, and there is a $150.00 pet fee per dog. * We do not rent on Craigslist.

What makes this property unique
This wonderful cottage is situated in the perfect place. Wonderful ocean views from the kitchen and living room, and sound views from the bedrooms. Pelicans fly overhead the front deck, and you can spot dolphins from the hot tub. Footprints is a wonderful destination for healing, rejuvenation, and relaxation. It is situated only 65 feet from beach access with miles of unspoiled beaches with naturalized dunes welcoming you to explore.
