Wash off those sandy beach towels and bathing suits in the Middle-Level Laundry Area which boasts a sink, microwave, and mini-fridge for easy access to all the best snacks and drinks for your run over the dunes to the beach. Don't forget to rinse off in the Outdoor Shower before heading inside! And speaking of inside, relax in the Mid-Level Den with comfortable furniture and a Flat Screen TV that's ideal for movie nights or afternoon entertainment during the summer rain. Just down the hallway, find a Queen Bedroom and a Bedroom with 2 Twin Beds, making this a fantastic place for the whole family to get comfortable while still keeping everyone close. And with 2 Full Hallway Bathrooms, you'll never have to worry about taking care of those last-minute needs before heading back out to the surf. Step out onto the Deck for some fresh air or an easy cup of coffee in the morning sun.

On the Top Level, cook up some fresh local seafood in the expansive Kitchen with modern amenities to enjoy in the open-concept Dining Area as you take in the views of the nearby ocean. Relax in the Living Area and enjoy a movie on the Flat Screen TV as you let the brilliant Outer Banks sunshine filter into this airy, beautiful space. An additional Queen Bedroom and a Full Bathroom round out the rest of the main level.

Make your way upstairs to the Loft for even more sleeping space and another place to hang out and enjoy relaxing at the beach. Up here, you'll find 2 Twin Daybeds, a Game Table that promises hours of fun, and another TV so there's no more fighting for what to watch.

Family Getaway!
The house was adorable. The location was perfect. Steps to the beach. The decks with swing and hammock were a great space for some quiet time. We had our young adult kids and their girlfriends with us, so the layout of this home was perfect! There were some minor cleaning issues, but i brought cleaning supplies so it all worked out. Overall great house in a great location. Shops and stores easily accessible...i recommend getting bikes with the beach accessories credit! Great family vacation!

Great spot to enjoy the beach!
First time we ever stayed at the beach and we loved it. This spot was wonderful! Quick and convenient to the beach. Was easy to go back when the kids got too hot or you forgot something! Sit out on the beach as dusk fell and really enjoy the colors of the sky and ocean. Many restaurants within a short drive and Harris Teeter just down the road when you want to cook and more people show up and you need more!

Cozy Oceanfront Cottage
We were very happy with our stay here. We were two women and the house had enough space for us to both spend time together and separately. The proximity to the beach was perfect, we spent many hours on the deck looking at the ocean. The living room furniture isn’t that comfortable though. That was our only wish, that it had been better for lounging.
