About the host
Hosted by Captain's Cabin OBX
We enjoy the sand and the surf, visiting and climbing lighthouses, and trying local cuisine. We've always wanted a beach house on the island, and to share it with others so that they can experience a piece of the magic that is the heart of the Outer Banks. Great food, great people, and Southern hospitality in a rustic beach setting.
Why they chose this property
We chose this property for the convenience of a location close to restaurants and activities, without sacrificing the serenity of a quiet residential neighborhood that really feels like a beach retreat away from it all.
