About this cabin rental

Guests love our remodeled and updated Nantucket style beach cottage! Come enjoy a clean, carefully decorated, vacation get-a-way. Enjoy preparing a dinner of local seafood in the remodeled kitchen and eat out on our screened in porch. Our house is best suited for families or two couples.

We are just blocks from the beach and 1.7 miles from the Sanderling Inn and only 2.2 miles from the village of Duck, NC. A great location for weddings, honeymoons, and family reunions, our OBX beaches were rated #1 by US Travel.

To make your visit more pleasant, we recommend renting Sunday to Sunday during the busy summer season, to avoid the worst of the change over gridlock. Although our listing does allow 5 night stays, these work best in the fall season. We rent weekend to weekend during the high season of June through Labor Day. So arriving on Saturday will mean a departure date of Saturday or Sunday.

A damage deposit is not required but $78 Insurance policy is required.

Bedroom Details
The house can sleep 7-8 comfortably in 3 bedrooms. One private bedroom with a queen bed is on the main floor with a bathroom that includes a tub / shower. The second private bedroom with a queen bed ( and rollaway single) is upstairs and has a shared bathroom with the children's room. The children's room has a bunk bed with a double mattress on the bottom and single mattress on top. Please note that you must walk through the children's bedroom to access the other upstairs bedroom. The children's room is also open to the stairs which has a door at the bottom. The upstairs bathroom has a tub with a shower.

Linens
You may bring your own linens if you prefer. Fresh linens and towels are included in the price of rental and are delivered on the day you arrive in a trunk on the ground level. We will call before your arrival to access your linen and towel needs. All linens and towels must be returned to the same locker before check out.

Kitchen
Our kitchen has an electric stove, dish washer, microwave, toaster, drip coffee maker and grinder, blender, and steamer pot. We have a stacked cloths washer and drier.

Outside
There is an outdoor rustic shower on the ground floor of the cottage and a foot wash for sand at the front stairs into the house.

We have an outside park style charcoal grill. For fire safety reasons, personal grills are not allowed.

We start the summer season with beach chairs, umbrella, and wave boards but it is up to guests to replace lost or broken items. We also provide a ping pong table and corn hole game for your enjoyment.

The screened porch as an outdoor picnic table which can be used to eat crabs. Please do not hammer crabs on inside dinning area table.

Pet Policy
Adult, house trained dogs are welcome. We have a two Dog Max. No other pets allowed. Please pay the $85.00 Pet Fee if you are bringing dogs. The house does NOT have an outdoor dog run.

Bugs
We use a professional service to treat the house inside and out with insect specific spray. This service comes quarterly including in the summer. While our cottage is sealed like other houses, our porches are not. We ask that guests keep lights off when not in use to reduce attracting insects. While we clean the exterior of the house throughout the summer we cannot guarantee a bug free / spider free outside experience.

Smoking
Please respect our no-smoking policy for the cottage. You may smoke on the outside porches. Parties are not allowed in the cottage or on the property.

Check in
Once you have paid in full, we will send the address and passcode to enter the house upon arrival. The maid has until 4 PM to clean the house but is usually done between noon to 1 PM. You can park at the house if you arrive early but do not enter until the maid has left the house. Please do not put your food in the refrig. early, before the maid has left, as the maid cleans the refrigerator after each stay.

Weather
The water level is rising on the OBX due to Global Warming. Water may pool in the community during a heavy rain. If heavy rain is forecast for your stay, we recommend bringing rain boots, at least for children, to use to walk to the beach.

Please consider buying carbon offsets to make your travel to and from the OBX carbon neutral.

The property was awesome The only issue was the neighbor across the street She made it very clear she did not care for renters and felt they did not clean up after their pets! We were clearly cleaning up after our pet, poop bags in hand, she was not a friendly person! We loved the property and it was very clean! Owners were easy to contact as well.

Clean cozy house, close the beach. Good for small family. Some layout issues and the neighbors broken down cars and boats on the lawn diminish the 'vibe' but overall a decent stay.

Just like the casual lake cottage of my youth, this house has a rustic laid back vibe. Surprisingly babies that needed naps, tweens, teen and adults had plenty of space to get away from each other. The screened porch was always in use, the neighborhood was very sweet, wonderful neighbors, lovely uncrowded beach. Everyone came home happy.

This was indeed a well loved cottage—nothing like the new large flashy homes you find everywhere—but it provided everything my family needed for our week in the Outer Banks. Everyone had his or her own bed, and the children had their own full bath upstairs while my husband and I had our own en suite downstairs. The main floor was bright with many large windows which was very nice. The table was large enough to accommodate five comfortably (which is something you don’t always find!). The kitchen was fully equipped and the fridge space ample. The towels and linens provided were a big plus. There were extra goodies for taking to the beach—which was truly a three minute walk WITHOUT having to cross a busy road. The neighborhood is QUIET!! You do not feel like you are in a resort town, even though you are right off the main road with Duck right there. Its overall location was great. I cannot recommend enough!

Lovely neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Our pups enjoyed the yard and all the critters that visited at night. Short walk to the beach and tons of restaurants within 20 minutes.
