About this house rental

I'm going to talk you out of renting this house before I give you reasons to do so - Please Read negative reviews first, this is a unique 1963 cottage and location, and it's not suitable for everyone. If you have a tendency to need perfection, not read entry instructions, or want a quiet location, this is not a good fit.

It is a PET FRIENDLY HOUSE!!! No fees, no limits on number, size or weights going forward. We have combined pet and cleaning fees - if you don't bring a dog, please realize we can't get every hair from under every bed between guests every time.

The SeaWitch is 62 years old this year, and there is a chance, despite monthly treatment by Professional One Pest Control, bait and sprays, that a roach might find it's way in again - we had one incident with a phobia last year I do NOT want to repeat. I don't want to ruin anyone's vacation, so please do not book if you or a family member has an issue with this possibility.

Dee takes a great deal of pride in keeping the house clean, but if food is left out, ants are also a possibility. Before knocking a star off - please let Dee know of ANY issues. She wants you to be happy.

All future guest contact is being handled by Delores Woodard (Dee) my housekeeper. Her number will be at the top of the entry information which you will receive after the rental agreement is returned.

Short Description: 1960s cottage restored and improved in 2015 with new HVAC, new TVs, new Stainless Steel Appliances including induction range, quiet dishwasher; new beds & flooring, very dog friendly (we do accept multiple dogs) with 4' high welded wire COMPLETELY fenced yard, right on beach road, close to everything, 75 yards to beach access, NOT a quiet location due to beach road traffic! Sun-Sun changeover during summer season, check in any day with 2 or 3 day minimum during the offseason.

Full Description (please read before asking questions!):

*THERE WILL BE NO OCCUPANT ON GROUND FLOOR, JUST STORAGE*

The SeaWitch is meant for those looking for a classic, slightly worn cottage with modern conveniences - central A/C, stainless appliances, Dish Network DVR system with 65" TV, and reliable DSL WiFi. There are 3 bedrooms, the "Yellow" room with a soft foam king bed, the "Blue" room queen firm foam "Tempur-pedic" bed, and the "Green" room has 2 foam mattress twins. The bathroom has a tiled shower / tub, cabinet style vanity, and lots of hooks to make sharing easy. There is also a nice large outside shower, completely rebuilt and repainted with new controls and showerhead.

The house is very dog friendly - large yard completely contained with 4' welded wire fence (generally dog proof so far, but I'm sure a determined dog could dig out) with attached to wood fencing; we have fencing around the kitchen stairs so dogs can be let into the yard without having to go outside.

The beach access is located on the Kill Devil Hills / Nags Head town line, which means the rules are different if you go left or right at access - Nags Head allows dogs on leashes year round but KDH restricts dogs on beach from Memorial Day to Labor Day between 9am and 6pm. So, you basically have to turn right at the access to go into Nags Head during the summer.

Kitchen features an "Induction" range, and is fully equipped for fairly involved cooking with quality cookware, dutch ovens, pots, pans, sharp knives, roast pan, etc.

50 year old milled wood T&G walls in the great room would have some great stories to tell, some you can see just by looking at the scars. LVT floor throughout the entire house. A 3 ton central A/C.

We will only rent to adults over 25 and families, with families much preferred... sorry kids, no beach weeks.

Cleaning fee includes sheets and bath towels for each bedroom (enough for 6 people) and includes as many dogs as you want - please do not abuse this, and tip Dee if you think she'll earn it.

You will need to bring your own beach towels.

When you exit the cottage driveway turn right to head towards 8th street that is an easy 1 minute walk to direct public access on the left (ocean side) and a boardwalk to the beach.

Under the porch there is plenty of space to store your fishing rods and beach accessories. There is a large outside shower as well.

Washer and dryer in utility room on ground level.

Beach Items: There are at least two chairs, coolers, a heavy duty beach umbrella like you get from the rental places, a fat tire beach cart, and some other odds and ends in the utility room.

We had an amazing stay at this sweet cottage, we loved the location and the beach access across the street. It was great to have a washer and dryer and fully equipped kitchen. I enjoyed reading on the wrap around porch and being able to let my dog go out the kitchen door into the fully fenced and huge dog yard in the back! The beds were very comfy and Dee was an excellent host, her communication was wonderful and we were able to check in a little early.

What a great trip to the beach we had...this place was the best location !! They were so easy to work with...because of coming from Pa. , we spent the night on the way down here a couple of hours away. So we got to the place too early...they let us check in ...we just enjoyed this little beach so much ! Every bed was comfortable and every convenience in the kitchen...we will be back!
