This house is cozy and beautifully decorated. I really appreciated all the seating choices! The living room was comfortable and the screened in porch is a unique addition that I enjoyed reading my book and drinking my coffee in. The location is hard to beat since the beach is right there! The front porch was a great spot for coffee and to just enjoy the beach air! I also loved the back yard space with the outdoor private shower. The place had everything we needed in the kitchen as well which made eating in very easy!

We opened the door into a comfortable beach house with: a modern equipped kitchen; a large screened-in back porch with seating and dining table; and a fenced-in back yard complete with grill, picnic table, hammock, clothes lines, and plenty of thick grass to walk around barefoot. The front porch is great for people watching and meeting locals who live in the neighborhood. Plus, it's located near shopping and restaurants. All-in-all, a great place to stay in Kill Devil Hills. Enjoy!

Sandy Bottoms is the epitome of a quaint OBX beach cottage in our estimation! We had stayed at this cottage before the current owners bought the property, and must say Keturah has beautifully transformed this adorable cottage!!! Almost unrecognizable !! Lovely upgrades in the kitchen, bathroom , flooring, addition of an outdoor patio, outdoor enclosed shower, and many tasteful beach themed decorations throughout the cottage. Comfortable furniture, across from the Sea Ranch resort for a great breakfast, and a quick walk to the beach make for a perfect stay at Sandy Bottoms for our family!! The only very minor surprise was that we had to bring our own umbrella for the outdoor table on the patio which we assumed was included judging from the pictures of the cottage showing beach umbrella at the table. Again, a very minor inconvenience for us to pack our own beach umbrella. Definitely plan to enjoy a future stay at the Epps adorable Sandy Bottoms!!!

Loved it so much last year we stayed here again! Owner is communicative and keeps her home in fantastic shape. She got a new housekeeper this summer and even checked in with us to make sure the home was clean enough when we arrived. Convenient place to stay, short walk to the beach which is great with a toddler! Highly reccomend!

This quaint beach cottage provided the perfect getaway for our family of 5. It was clean, well furnished and comfortable. The host was friendly and accommodating and was able to let us in an hour early, which was much appreciated after traveling with a 6 yr old. The beach is a 1/2 block straight walk from the front of the house. You can see the sand from the front porch. The one day it rained, we gathered around the dining table inside the screened porch and played cards, which was lovely. This is the first time I've ever had to bring my own sheets to a vacation rental so that struck me as odd but apparently it's not uncommon and was not a huge problem since we knew in advance. You also need to shower and wash/dry/fold towels the night before checkout in order to be out by 10 AM but the extra planning is worth the stay in this home. There are not any toiletries such as soap, shampoo, conditioner, or Q-tips like a hotel so pack accordingly. The listing description is mostly accurate except that we could not find beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards or other water toys to use. We left our sand toys behind for the next guest(s) to enjoy so hopefully they remain for awhile. All in all a very enjoyable stay. Our entire family agrees that we want to stay at this cottage again in the future.

Location was great next to target, grocery store, restaurants, and beach. The house was clean and very well decorated. Prefect house for our family with two young kids. The backyard was great for the kids to run around safely. Short walk to the beach. Kitchen worked well for our needs and fully equipped. Homeowner was easy to communicate with. Would stay again.

The home was very clean and nice. We knew before we arrived that we needed to bring our own bed linens. Not until we checked in did we realize we would be expected to wash, dry and put away all bath towels. We feel paying a cleaning fee and a "host fee" should cover all cleaning. We were rushed a bit to get it all done before the 10am check out time. The tv in the third bedroom was way oversized for the tiny room with no cable connection, so I guess it didn't matter. Speaking of cable, the channel selection was very limited. Most of our favorite channels were not available. Take these things out of the equation and the home was probably the best we could have found. Very close to the beach and extremely clean. If you're staying for more than a few days bring your own paper products as paper towels and toilet tissue are starter only. All things considered we would book this property again. We feel the owners should base their policies on what they would want and expect and not on what other property owners do.

The house was very clean and nicely decorated. It was located on a beach access road that also cut through from beach road to the bypass so there were quite a few cars driving by and people passing by the front porch on their way to the beach. If you like people watching, you will enjoy this. It was super convenient to be able to take a walk on the beach in the morning, stop in the Sea Ranch's Beachside Bistro for breakfast and then walk back to the house in less than 5 minutes.

The property was great and in a very convenient location for shopping and the beach. However, we felt the owner was a little unreasonable in her demands. Check out time was 10 AM and she expected towels washed and dried and put away. We had to bring our own sheets and soap and shampoo (I wasn’t aware of the soap and shampoo issue) And dishes weren’t just supposed to be started but also put away. That was rather off-putting to try to do all that before 10:00.

The house is great but you will need to provide your own sheets—we didn’t realize that until after we had booked the property. Check out is 10 am and they expect all towels laundered and put away which means for an early morning on check out day. Neither of these are deal breakers, but somewhat inconvenient.

Truly the pics don’t do this gorgeous house justice. Extremely clean and so close to the beach. It’s got everything you would want in a beach house. Perfect getaway. I will say you have to bring your own bedsheets which could be hard if you’re flying to this location. But since we were driving, we could pack enough sheets for the beds. Just something to keep in mind when booking this awesome place!
