About this cottage rental

Originally constructed in 1969 with an addition in the mid ‘70’s, the Flying Monkey embraces the ambiance of a true Outer Banks summer cottage while sporting modern conveniences and fresh local decor. This three bedroom, one full bath and two half bath cottage has a unique floor plan. The main structure is comprised of two bedrooms, one full and one half bath, kitchen and living room. Out the back door, through the covered breezeway, is the master suite featuring another half bath and laundry. This setup can accommodate a wide range of vacationers and is perfect for multiple couples, parents/grandparents or anyone that appreciates a bit of separation from the rest of their party while on vacation. All bedrooms are furnished with a queen bed, nightstand, dresser, mirror and 32” Roku smart TVs. Additionally, the master also includes a small sitting area making it - almost - a complete escape from the main house. Outdoor living space is abundant here. The front porch in the main house is comfortably furnished and is perfect for morning coffee or afternoon cocktails. The breezeway between structures has a small sitting area, outdoor shower and access to the patio which includes a Jacuzzi hot tub, picnic table and propane grill. Most importantly, a direct pedestrian only beach access only 500 feet, a 2 minute walk, away.

Linens, towels and a starter supply of paper products are included. There is hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes available for use as well. The only additional charges are the state/county occupancy taxes, house/hot tub cleaning fee and a refundable security deposit.

Wonderful! Love the hot tub. The walk to the beach was short. I really liked how the owner had chairs, beach towels and even boogie boards. Would love to book here again.

House appears small and dated from outside. Inside home is decorated and includes all kitchen needs plus more . having clean beach towels, beach chair, umbrella And beach toys was perfect. Front porch was great to relax with morning coffee. Picnic table on side of house with bbq needs an awning to enjoy eating outside on sunny days. Communication with owner with questions was very responsive to our needs. Would stay at home again.

The house was great! The best perk is being within close walking distance to a quiet beach! The hot tub, outdoor shower, and grill were all great ammenities of the house. The house was clean and had beach chairs/umbrella/wagon to use.

We loved our stay at the Flying Monkey! Our group had parents and 2 twenty-something kids in attendance. It has a lot more space than you would think from the outside. Super cute décor, we loved the 3 bedrooms and bathrooms. Also, it was very clean. We loved the beach which was a short walk away. The screened in porch and outside shower were also nice touches.

The Flying Monkey is a clean comfortable cottage close to the beach. Everything neeeded for the stay was supplied, linen, towels, beach towels, beach chairs etc. The hot tub was clean and relaxing. We are definitely considering another longer stay!

Two moms weekend get away was great! The stay was wonderful and yes there was initially a musty smell, but nothing that a little air freshener couldn’t fix along with some open windows. Overall we enjoyed ourselves.

After staying at "The Monkey" back in 2021, my girlfriend and I were excited to return in October, 2023. It was a wonderful place with a great location, well equipped kitchen, easy check-in, and very close to the beach. We LOVED our first stay. Everything was the same as in 2021, except the cleanliness. Whoever is charged with cleaning the place should be fired by the owner. This review pains me because it is a great place. The worst part of the stay was the overpowering musty smell in the back cottage. We ran the ceiling fan, opened windows and purchased 2 containers of "Damp-Rid" to try to alleviate the smell with no success. The smell was strong enough that sleeping was difficult. Other issues: 1. Two dead cockroaches. One in an empty dresser drawer and one on top of the dryer. 2. Baseboards that had not been wiped down for some time. Very dirty. Likewise with the top of the refrigerator. 3. Once you open the windows, the sills were filthy. This was not simply the result of one or two missed cleanings - this was accumulated dirt. 4. The window sills on the front screened porch were filthy. 5. The outside shower walls were moldy and algae was growing on them. Yes, it is what you might expect from an outdoor shower, but it would be easy to take a brush and a bit of bleach water and clear the growth. 6. A broken toilet seat in the back cottage bathroom. 7. The shower head in the bathroom of the main house had mold growing on it. A disappointing stay.

Property was very clean and comfortable. We felt like we were at home. Loves that the beach access was so close. Very good coffee shop down the street.

This adorable cottage had everything we needed! Even some coffee to get us started and shampoo/conditioner which we forgot! The beach was so close we could run back and forth as needed. And the cutest coffee shop was also steps away. The hot tub completed our perfect trip! We had a little storm but it just added a little excitement! We would definitely stay again and bring some friends/kids next time😁😁😁

We had a great time at this cute little house. It is a short walk to the beach as advertised. Loved relaxing in the hot tub. Outdoor shower was truly handy. The third bedroom is a private room that would be great for traveling with friends or older children. Well stocked kitchen and screened in porch with everything you need for a beach day. I highly recommend it!

Loved the location. Great beach experience even though it was a short weekend. House is sweet. Plenty of room. Some difficulty with lighting but nothing that couldn't be handled. Thanks so much for accommodating a short stay and late booking. So grateful for availability.

This was my first time staying at a little cottage like this and it was worth every penny, the location was perfect for getting our little one to the beach and back and we were close to plenty of food options. The inside of the cottage was clean and so cute and felt so cozy, I would love to stay here again!

We had a fantastic trip, and the place was terrific. The house had everything we needed and was an easy walk to a beach that wasn’t crowded, even during high season. There is a cute coffee shop and another breakfast/ice cream place about a block away, and you could either walk or take a short drive to tons of shops and restaurants. The layout of the house worked really well for our group, and our host was extremely communicative and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!

This property was perfect for us: separated from the higher density hotels/resorts, easy walk & access to the beach, & walkable to get coffee etc if we wanted. Not every street has beach access at the end of it but Arch St. does…super convenient. Property provides a wagon & lawn chairs. Plenty of outside space to shed sandals & rinse feet or shower off before going into the house. Washer/dryer in convenient location by back door to master suite. Owner’s communication was prompt & helpful. Very easy check-in & out process. Check out especially was easier than many VRBOs we’ve used. A well maintained property. Enjoy!

This beach house was perfect for a long weekend. With a fully equipped kitchen, we were able to grill and make most of our food at the house. It was so close to the beach, we went every day even though there were thunderstorms. We were able to wait out the rain, then get plenty of beach time in as soon as the sun was back out. It was a great place and we'll definitely look for availability the next time we head to OBX.

We stayed here and we're pleased with the location. It was central to the actives on Roanoke Island, Wright Brother's, and the Wild Horses to the North. Nice easy walk to the beach and this area of the beach was quiet. Our pre-teen son loved the second suite, he got to enjoy his own apartment lifestyle. We'll probably be back one day to see more of the Outer Banks and North Carolina.

We are a group of retired 65+ teachers. The cottage is delightful, bright and very clean, nice comfortable furniture, and well- equipped. The distance to the beach was a little farther than we anticipated, but the beach wagon was helpful. We enjoyed our stay!

This was our first time visiting the OBX and the house was absolutely perfect for us and our 18 month old. Plenty of beach gear so we didn’t have to travel with too much and a very short walk to the beach which was not crowded at all. We were very happy with our stay

This was a really wonderful surprise property for our beach weekend trip. The house was comfortable and clean, with everything you could need tucked away. It had card games and board games and the couches and chairs were comfortable. The beach was just a short walk away and the wagon and chairs provided helped make that super easy. 5 stars overall!

This quaint cottage had everything we could possibly want for our spring break beach getaway!! It was super clean, stocked with all essential items and beautifully decorated. The proximity to the beach, as well as shops and restaurants, was ideal. Larry was very responsive and accommodating. We will absolutely return… actually can’t imagine staying anywhere else on the Outer Banks.
