About this house rental
NO need to load your beach gear into the car when this Chicahauk beach cottage is a short walk to the Southern Shore beach access. Waves, sand, and marine life await for you to explore everyday. Perfectly located at the first traffic light as you head north on the beach Hwy 12 - You have now escaped all the traffic. When you need to access groceries, a fresh fish market, bagels, smoothies, ice cream, coffee shop, an ABC store, bank, pizza, or Walmart you are only 1 traffic light and 5 minutes away. You will never have to spend your vacation on OBX in your car again. Just pack your swimsuit and beach towels for fun in the sun!
Each morning you wake to decide if you will explore the beach, the island or a book by the pool. The house is equipped with beach toys, ping pong table, bikes, chairs, volley ball, and everything you need to exhaust your children and yourself. When your energy level drops relax in the large open living area. Everyone can stay connected while watching TV, cooking, playing games or puzzles, or escape for some quiet time in the side sunporch. The wireless Sonos speaker system extends onto the deck for outside grilling and dining. A brand-new heated pool awaits in the backyard for water volleyball, Marco Polo, or just floating.
The kitchen has been renovated in 2017 with new appliances and is fully equipped for all of your gourmet needs. A large granite counter allows enough space for everyone to pitch in with the cooking duties or spectate on the three counter height stools. Under cabinet lighting illuminates the glass tile backsplash and supplies task lighting. A high chair is tucked away in the corner of the dining area for your wee ones.
The upstairs main floor has an open concept living area as well as three bedrooms and a hall bathroom. One of the couches is a sleeper sofa with full linens available for extra guests. The master bedroom has a brand new king bed and hypoallergenic matters (7/16/20), flat screen TV, ample closets and an ensuite full bathroom with a separate vanity sink area. Another bedroom has twin beds while the third bedroom has a day bed with pull out trundle and a baby crib.
A large master suite is located on the ground floor with a king size bed, flatscreen smart tv, ensuite full bathroom with a shower, large walk in closet and sitting area with recliners. Also on the ground floor is entry to the house and the laundry room which furnishes W/D and Hvac unit.

This is our second year at Fish Kiss and it won’t be our last. It’s such a comfortable, well-furnished, well-equipped home and sparkling clean. And the location can’t be beat! Easy access to everything OBX has to offer and an easy 6-8 minute walk to a lovely beach with a lifeguard. It’s a wonderful house!

This house was wonderful! Very clean and comfortable. Pictures on listing are accurate. Location is great! Close to lots of stores, restaurants etc but in a quiet peaceful neighborhood. Easy, quick walk to the beach. Took us about 6 min. Beach cart and beach chairs and umbrella provided were great and appreciated. Backyard pool was awesome. Plenty of supermarkets nearby and kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. No complaints. Highly recommend!

We greatly enjoyed our stay. The location couldn’t be better and the space was perfect for our family. Kitchen space is pretty tight and there were a couple loads worth of dirty towels in the laundry room, only moderately clean overall inside. We loved the pool, beach supplies were nice to have. We recommend taking kiddos to the soundside beach for calmer waves and less jellyfish. We went to Jockey Ridge a few times.
6 / 10Average·May 2021
The location was great, lots of biking possibilities... beach was a few minutes to walk..
We chose this house, because our friends with their 1 year old read the description and wanted the heated pool so that they can use it with the baby. The description did not say that the pool will be only 10F warmer than the outside temperature. Although we were there mid May, the temperature outside was in the 60s/70s during the day and partially in the 50s at night- hence the pool was too cold to use for the baby and most adults.
What we really missed except for the heated pool, was being able to sit on the deck outside for meals. The outdoor furniture on the deck were spartanic and partially falling apart and in any case did not allow 6 adults to sit at the same table.
