About this cottage rental

Step back in time with us in our historic 3 Bedroom home located just across from the beautiful and haunted beaches of the Outer Banks. We are located right across from the beach access, no houses in front just cross the street, climb the dune and you are on the wide sandy beach.

This beautiful home is preserved in the same condition as it was built, showing the fantastic wooden floors, walls and ceilings. The Master Carpenters who built these homes constructed the entire interior (floors, walls and ceiling) with the same wood including the kitchen cabinets. Rustic, to be sure, but no worries about the sand that can follow you in and perfect for the little ones, including your 4 legged family members!

This comfortable home has Two Queen Beds with Pillow Top Mattresses, 4 Twin Beds and can comfortably sleep 8 (9 to 10 if some sleepers are little and can sleep on the couches). We have one full bathroom with a combination tub and shower.
We have high speed WiFi and a 65" Smart TV to connect to your Netflix or other Streaming Video Services. Central Heat/Air to make you comfortable throughout the year.

We have a fully stocked kitchen for all you culinary needs.

Park right outside your front door and check yourself in and out with the lockbox.

We have high speed WiFi and a 65" Smart TV to connect to your Netflix or other Streaming Video Services. Central Heat and air will provide the heat for the offseason and plenty of cooling for the summer. We have a fully stocked kitchen for all you culinary needs.

Even with a thorough modernization the property is a historical home that is now over 85 years old. It has some eccentricities that reflect building standards and designs from the turn of the last century that lends to its charm as an older beach cottage. But even so, we hope that you will love our older and charming home.

Park right outside your front door and check yourself in and out.

The good: location to beach, clean, close to favorite restaurants. The bad: only 2 burners worked on stove, not crazy about smart TV. All in all we enjoyed our stay and had a good time. Liked walking dog on beach every day.

This was a great spot for the 2 of us and our dog. You truly cannot beat how close to the ocean you are. Enjoyed the proximity to the beach the best. A lot of sand gets tracked in because it is on ground level. We had a broom but no dish pan so we just used paper plates to try and clean everything up. Kitchen was fine, nice fridge and everything worked. The only downfall was that there was not an outdoor shower! If you decide to stay here, bring a 5 gallon bucket to fill up with to try and wash your feet off.

Pros: Property was in a perfect location, right across the road from a public beach entrance. Cons: The burrs are so bad you cannot walk in the yard. The burrs get on your pats and worst they get into their paws. The grass has a up to your knees so please keep your dogs off the yard. A few porch rails are missing and about 5 are loose. The what use to be a screen porch knee walks are siding on 2x4 framing with rusted nail pertruding into the porch area. The bathroom sink is falling through the floor. Back door will not open and has a gap at the bottom. Kitchen countertop by sink the tiles are all cracked with sharp edges, someone tried to fix them with caulk. Microwave doesn’t work. None of the windows open. No broom. Welcome sheets says safe cleaning supplies under sink, only Clorox with bleach. Bedroom fan makes ticking noises. The lock box is a realtor box which is a pain in the a** to open and had only one key. Toilet runs none stop. Asbestos siding is cracked in many areas and one piece is missing completely. I hope the owners will read this and fix the safety issues.
