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.

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.

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.

Good value, ideal location and comfortable
The only issue we had was with the little burrs (I guess that’s what’s their called) that kept finding their way inside the property. Very painful to step on. Other than that, we were very pleased with our stay here in Kitty Hawk.

Great stay!
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.

Birthday Beach Weekend
Fun and relaxing! Great place to stay, especially with our dogs. Beach access once walk across street. (There's a crosswalk/street sign so most vehicles will stop for you). When we arrived, wifi wasn't working and George/Kathleen were very accommodating and quickly pursued to fix. Didn't get wifi until our 2nd night but we didn't mind as it gave us time to play games if we weren't at the beach. Not sure who loved our weekend more...us or the dogs! :-)
Only one disappointment...we paid extra for early / late check-in / check-out and both times cleaning crew were there for our arrival time of 1pm (we got there at 1:15pm), and then 12:15pm upon leaving. I was just finishing getting dressed so we could be out before 1pm but thankfully my family came back inside to alert me. Just a little awkward and thought the cleaning crew would know not to be there upon our arrival / check-in.

Negatief: Voorzieningen, staat van de accommodatie en faciliteiten
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.

Air Conditioning was broken and host ghosted me
When we checked in it was 83 degrees in the house. There was a window a/c unit in one of the bedrooms that only blew warm air and, in another bedroom, the ceiling fan didn't work. We contacted the host, and she said try turning off the a/c for 15 minutes to see if it would reset. We did that and the temps went up to 84 degrees. We let the host know and they said the soonest someone could come out would be the next day. We live just over an hour away and it was too hot in the house to sleep so we drove back home to sleep in our own house. We came back the next day and it had cooled down to the 75 degrees in the house. An a/c tech came by and said the main a/c unit didn't have enough tonnage to cool such an old, drafty house and suggested that we don't go in and out of the front door as that would let more hot air in. We tried to be as understanding as possible, but it was not a pleasurable experience. We messaged the host, but they stopped responding to our messages as soon as we checked out. We probably should have complained to VRBO and got another place, but we were trying to be understanding.

Rustic cabin that is nearly beachfront!
This was a unique situation that lead to our booking this property. Our kid's school was delayed and we decided to pop on down to OBX for a last-minute stay. Options were slim since this was a Monday evening we were looking for a booking for the next day! But as our family continues to enjoy the beach each year, we find ourselves closer and closer to the water. This rustic property fit the bill. The property was insanely clean, and the pictures were representative of the overall condition. We were happy with the amenities and loved the proximity to the beach. Public beach access is directly across the street with no other properties on the beach front so sitting on the porch at night we could hear the waves. With the community and time of year, there were very few people walking by using the public beach access and the beach for that matter. We could not have been happier to stay here for a mid-week stay and was thankful for everything this place offered.

Don’t Stay Here
Do not rent here. During our July week’s stay, we had 9 visits by maintenance, plumbers and HVAC techs to fix 82 degrees in the house; no hot water; leaky pipes and no shower water in the one (and only) bathroom. I have rented for over 20 years, and I have never had to spend several hours waiting for plumbers/HVAC/Maintenance to deal with house issues during a stay. Even as the owner recognized HVAC and bathroom plumbing issues, he reneged on a partial refund offer after calling us “great guests for dealing with the issues” (Yes – I have text exchanges to prove it). The issues were real - why did the owner thank us for being great guests, yet ignore our contact after vacating the property? Very uncool! VRBO could not help us out. Save yourselves the hassle - avoid renting this property.

great location, a bit run down property
Let's start with the good:
- location: right across the street from a public beach access with a walkway mark, so sometimes traffic will stop to let you pass. Great for beach access. Definitely the best selling point of the property.
- cleaniness: the inside of the property was clean. There were a few pieces of trash outside on the property when we arrived (a tube of caulk, a face mask in a tube). Could be better.
- retro: I'd describe the cabin as rustic and old school, which is charming compare to the mega mansions in this area. It's not huge, but perfect size for our family of 4 with a dog.
- availability: it was a last-minute spring break getaway with the kids, so the fact that it was available for some an awesome location is good.
- amenities: it's basic but has almost everything you need. The kitchen is small, note there's no dishwasher. It's not a huge issue, just something that easily missed if you aren't reading the list of appliances carefully. Being it's still covid, we cooked all of our meals in the kitchen and pots and pans were definitely handy and are in decent shape. It could use a baking sheet as we did a bit of baking but couldn't find a baking sheet.
The Smart TV has a lot of channels available. The bedrooms were comfortable. The washer/dryer combo was handy in the hallway.
Now the bad:
- Being so close to the beach, you can tell the house takes a beating from the weather on the outside. The doorknob facing the ocean is completely rusted out and wouldn't lock. There's a bar on the side to keep that door locked. The concrete step to the house has a big chunk missing, although this might be related to the weather. The inside area can also use some TLC. Paint on the window framing is all chipping off. Not knowing how old the house is, we were wondering about lead paint on the windows. With a window right over the sink, the dish sponge was placed on the window sill. The kitchen counter area was tiled but many of the tiles were coming off the wall or broken. Upgrading to these areas seem minor and shouldn't cost a lot, but will make the property a lot less rundown and more appealing. The bedrooms appear to be in good shape though. The beds were comfortable.
Overall, we were looking for a get-away from the crowds and my kids loved playing on the beach and even splashing in the cold ocean. We've vacationed in OBX regularly and looking forward to return post-pandemic.

Quick getaway
Corner lot,, with easy access to the beach, just cross street (hwy 12) over the dune and you're there. No frills unit, but cozy and clean, pet friendly, and great location to get to a view of sunrise and dolphin play after 2 minute walk. I would definitely return! The owner communicates quickly, and was attentive, making sure that we had information needed to enjoy the stay. My pregnant daughter and her dog of 13 years had a great time before her little family changes for a lifetime. I'm glad that we were able to spend the adult, girls trip together. This daughter has always loved the beach so I'm grateful that we were found this location in these times of COVID isolation ... it allowed us to embrace nature, family and creation of new memories. Thanks!!!

The location being very close to the beach was nice, and the weather was great during our stay. I suspect the owners had recently purchased the property as the house had not been updated in a very long time. While outdated, the house was mostly clean. We did appreciate that the owners allowed our pets to stay in the house with us!
