On Jockey Ridge State Park + Hot Tub & Center of OBX

Peaceful airy retreat (on a 20,000 sq ft lot) with balcony views overlooks the tallest active sand dune system in the Eastern U.S. Take a 2 minute stroll, you’ll discover the sound beach access “kite boarders paradise" and beach trails. Cross the street and climb to the top of Jockey Ridge for amazing ocean views, hang glide or fly a kite. The ocean is just 1 minute car drive. Inside features 700 sq feet of privacy, with open-concept kitchen and living room and a private bedroom with 2 queen beds. During off-season months, we offer a shared hot tub for guests from Nov-April. It's the perfect spot to melt your stress away in the evenings under the stars.

This hidden retreat located on a large 20,000 sq ft property lies among a forest of trees, waking to the sounds of nature and chirping birds in the mornings, and bright colored stars when the evenings draw in. It is centrally located in a peaceful quiet neighborhood with no homes to the north or south and only a 2-3 minute drive to restaurants, fast food establishments, and shops. Covered front porch living space, kid and dog friendly. Take a 2-minute stroll to watch the sunset over the sound, or sit back and relax with a beverage on the front porch and watch the sky change colors as the sun falls over the spectacular sand dunes.

Jockey Ridge Sand Dune Retreat features a living room with leather sofa (converts to a futon), full-size open kitchen with bar seating, large private bedroom with 2 new therapeutic queen mattresses (hypoallergenic bedding and pillows with plastic covers for sanitizing) and 2 closets, private bathroom with shower, fully stocked coffee and tea bar, high speed wireless internet, sound machine, 2 smart TVs with wifi, dvd player, dvds, beach umbrella, beach chairs and outdoor transport wagon (for items or little ones) to save on time and rental fees . There are 2 adult bikes (Fuji beach cruisers) to use at your leisure.
The full-sized kitchen is equipped with a fridge, microwave, gas stove and oven, Keurig & Mr Coffee makers supplied with ground coffee and pods, tea kettle, high speed blender for smoothies or margaritas, dishes, drinking and wine glasses, silverware, pots, and pans. Sheets, towels, beach towels, and basic essentials (toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies, trash bags etc.) are provided.

The 2 Smart TVs come equipped with Wifi is ready for you to watch Netflix, Hulu, Amazon through your own accounts. We also have a DVD player and DVDs to enjoy. Board games and cards available at your leisure.

The ocean is a 1-minute drive across Croatan hwy. Jockey Ridge is across the street. Wright Brothers Memorial and Bodie Island Lighthouse are only 15 minutes away. You can take an easy day trip to Hatteras, Ocracoke, Duck, or Corolla.

Closest Sound Beach Access: 0.2 miles at end of street. Great for families with babies and little kids.
Closest Atlantic Beach Access: 1.0 mile (Conch Street behind 7-11). Great for those wanting to boogie board, surf, or just listen to the waves crash.

If you have a little one, we have a Graco Pack n Play, available on request. All electrical outlets have been replaced with GFCI outlets for children safety concerns. You can stay here relaxed.

Yes, we love dogs!!, and have generously opened our newly renovated rental up to furry friends, because we too have furry family members (who are located in a enclosed fence). In return, we kindly ask dogs stay off furniture (beds/couch) and all linens, and guests provide dog beds or crates for their furry guests. Since we provide linens, it can take 2-3 washes at a time to get dog hair out, and triple the cleaning time and costs. If you have a puppy or a dog that isn't house broken, has a tendency to chew on things, or is shedding, please keep dog in crate at all times when you aren't present in rental. The pet fee covers 1 dog per a stay, if there are any additional pets there will be an additional fee of $50 per pet (per a stay).

Your hosts: The property is a 20,000 sq ft lot with no residences to the north or south of the property and feels very private. The rental and residence are 2 completely different spaces and neither are shared. The rental is a ground level space (with no one above or below) and encompasses 2 private entrances separate from the primary residence to enter/exit. There are no common shared areas (including parking) with homeowners, except front of yard. We also offer no shared amenities, such as private gas bbq pit, beach chairs (5), umbrella, boogie boards (2), and accessories.
We live on the property and will respect your privacy, available only if you need us! We are a non-smoking property.

This was a fantastic location for all the day trips we planned to explore the Outer Banks. Right across the quiet road is the famous Jockey’s Ridge dunes. The property owners were very responsive and provided all we needed. I would absolutely stay there again, and highly recommend.

Slice of paradise!
We had an amazing time staying here. The walk to the beach at the sound was short and the property had beach toys, chairs, an umbrella and even a wagon to get it to the beach. Next time we're in the area, we will definitely see if this property is available!

Quaint little beach retreat
This was a cute little place for my family and I. The living quarters were a little tight there were 3 adults and 2 kids. But we knew we would be out and about not really hanging out there. I really thought the place was very clean and had everything we needed. I really loved the shampoo and soaps they provided in the bathroom. We would definitely stay again.

Set off a quiet road, able to walk your dog or cross the road and take a walk on the sand dunes of Jockey Ridge State Park. Only wish, is that we could have stayed longer.

We stayed here with my wife and our little pup. We had a great 2 day stay. We loved the dunes where we could just walk up to. We arrived in the evening and went to walk up the dunes with our pup and saw a huge fox growling at our small pul. Please have your dogs on leash. Fox calmly went away after i scared him away. If he wasn’t on the leash things might have gone a different way. The beach was just walking distance and we enjoyed the time at the beach. The property is very nice. Has separate entry and exit. Very quiet. Would recommend to future visitors

An elegant retreat
From before our stay until the end of our stay was nothing but spectacular. Our host was excellent. They contacted us before our trip & kept us updated until check in. After our stay they checked back in with us to see how our stay was. The place was clean , beautiful & we felt right at home. We highly recommend this rental. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much for sharing a part of your home with us.

Great Place to Stay!
My husband and I brought our two dogs with us to stay here. The neighborhood was perfect for dog walking, and we often walked them to the park at the end of the street for some beach time. The apartment was cute and it is obvious the owners have put a lot of thought into the place. It was also very clean. I would definitely stay here again!

Great location
As new visitors to the Outer Banks, this comfortable and dog friendly property allowed us easy access to watching breathtaking sunsets from the dunes, swimming and kayaking in the sound, and walks along the beach. We were perfectly located to take day trips up and down the island. The outdoor seating area made for a peaceful breakfast spot to start the day or to spend some quiet time.

Great rental
We loved this rental, and it’s location. The host Erica, was so sweet and accommodating. The rental is attached to the owners stunning home but that was never an issue. We had separate parking, a separate entrance and all of the comforts of home. Erica has done an amazing job making the guests stay effortless and we really enjoyed the personal touches that came along with this property. The beds were really comfy, the kitchen well stocked, and the property was beautiful. Right out our front door we’re the huge dunes of Jockeys ridge and a short walk down the street was the sound side access to the park and it’s beaches. Our dogs were comfortable and Erica even provided waste disposal bags for use. The area was a nice residential area that we all felt really safe in. We will absolutely be back!

We had a wonderful stay in this cozy, clean, beautiful apartment. The location was perfect for us and our dog. We were able to walk across the street into Jockey Ridge park and take walks. There is also a great sound side beach access within walking distance that also connects to a walking trail through the dunes. Very convenient to many stores and restaurants. The outside sitting area was private and perfect for us and our dog. The owners provide everything you’d need for a stay with them. Highly recommend!!
