Perhe- ja lemmikkiystävällinen mökki, näkymä rannalle, kuisti

We have 4 grown children and 5 grandchildren ranging from age 7 to 22.

We love both the beach and the Blue Ridge mountains where we live full-time. We love country music and try to go dancing at least one night every weekend. We like to visit with family and friends and go on motorcycle rides as time permits. Paul does a little farming. He has 15 angus cows, 1 bull and a number of calves depending on time of year. I recently retired from the workforce after working for a defense contractor for the last 23 years.

We have two dogs. Bonnie is a 14 1/2 shih tzu and Ellie is a heeler/collie mix. Ellie helps to control our ground hog population.

We have been going to the OBX for more than 20 years and feel very fortunate that we were able to purchase this property in December 2019. We have been updating and putting our personal touches on the home since we purchased it.

We have been enjoying the beaches in OBX for more than 20 years. Many of those years have been in the same Kitty Hawk area. When this home became available we jumped on it without even seeing it. This location is perfect for us. Easy access to and from 158. Our cottage is located around the 2.5 mile marker on N. Virginia Dare Trail.

It is the perfect location and size for our family. It is large enough to accommodate 10 people comfortably with 4 bedrooms - 3 queen size beds and 1 twin over full bunk bed with a pull out twin bed, 2 full bathrooms and a outdoor shower, a screened porch with access directly from two front bedrooms or from side deck, upper deck for sunbathing/ocean views and patio/deck area out back where a breeze is always blowing. Perfect location right across the road from the beach and great views. Beach access is only about 350 feet away at the Bennett Road crosswalk.

Close to everything you may need including grocery stores, restaurants, family entertainment including movies, putt-putt golf, Wright Brothers Museum, Corolla Wild Mustangs, outlet stores, water parks, etc. If you are on the adventurous side, you can book deep sea fishing trips, offshore/onshore fishing and a nice boat tour to see the dolphins in Manteo.

Screened in front porch with bar height stools so you can see see the ocean, people watch or just relax under the ceiling fan. Located in a nice family area. No motels/hotels close by.

Upper deck for exceptional beach views and stunning sunsets. Easy, walking distance to public beach access (5th house from access). Under the house, there is a ground level deck which has a nice breeze with chairs, ceiling fan, tiki bar, picnic table, park-like grill, and outside shower. Fenced in backyard for relaxing on the back patio, sitting on the swing while enjoying the nice breeze. Dart board under the house and full size cornhole boards available with a spotlight on the back yard to play after dark.

(Just watch out for sandburs and/or cacti which are native to the area and difficult to control.)

We manage our property ourselves with the help of a great team of locals who we count on to clean our home and make necessary repairs that need attention before we are able to come down and take care of it ourselves. We met these two wonderful people because of an unfortunate accident the week before our first guest was to arrive. They have been a true blessing to us. If there is a problem that they can't handle, they have put us in touch with someone who can. We can't tell you have much they have helped us since 2020.

We pride ourselves on being very hands on and responsive. We want our guests to have a wonderful experience in our home so they come back year after year.
