This is the one! If you are looking for a high-quality place to stay and a great "RIGHT NEXT TO THE BEACH" LOCATION - you've found the place! This is our second home and only rental; we "self-manage" and pride ourselves on our hands on approach in maintaining its condition and making sure our guests are well cared for. Click below to read all about it! We keep our detailed listing up to date, read on to learn all about our place, its location and amenities!

This home with Oceanfront pool (pool is main photo in listing) is located on NC-12 beach road. It is a "second row" home directly behind the Oceanfront homes. Across the street are the Epstein St. Beach access (with ramp) and Village Beach Club Private Oceanfront Pool (entry included, no additional fees, open daily Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend and then every weekend in September.) The beach club offers food & drink service.

Located at Milepost 14.5, the photo with the red star shows our home and the closest beach access. This beach access features a lifeguard stand, bathhouse and parking. Getting to the beach is quick and safe, no need to walk down beach road to get there! It’s as easy as a short stroll down the quiet cul de sac from the house and directly across the street from our neighborhood via crosswalk is a beach access point.

From the décor to the updated, high-quality furnishings, you will feel as though you are staying at a friend's house and not a rundown rental. This is our second home (and only rental) so we regularly stay here ourselves, which means you can expect to find that everything is going to be comfortable and in excellent condition as listed. *Scroll all the way down for a list of amenities included with your stay*


A FEW THINGS THAT SET US APART FROM THE OTHER RENTALS:
*Local tip*: If you're comparing our rental to any others, be sure to ask them about their check in times (and if their time is *guaranteed*) and if bed linens are provided. Most Outer Banks rentals have later check in times (sometimes as late as 6pm or later if they're running behind or don't have enough cleaning staff) and either don't provide linens or don't have beds made upon your arrival. Probably two of the most important things to consider when renting in the Outer Banks and that no one wants to deal with after a long drive!


EARLIER CHECK IN TIME
Our check in time of 3pm (and *possibly* even earlier if requested ahead of time) is guaranteed and one of the earliest in the Outer Banks area. Because this is our only rental and we aren't part of a large property management group that has multiple houses to clean, our renters benefit from much earlier and guaranteed check in times compared to most other rentals in the area so you can get your vacation started even earlier!


BEDS MADE UPON ARRIVAL
We provide all bed linens and most all beds (except the top two bunk beds) made upon arrival, another amenity most Outer Banks rentals don't provide.


BEDROOMS:
Bedroom 1 - lower-level King with full bathroom
Bedroom 2 - mid-level King with full bathroom
Bedroom 3 - mid-level Queen with shared full bathroom
Bedroom 4 - mid-level, 2 twin bunk bed sets (4 twin beds total, top two bunks best suited for children) with shared full bathroom

This is our home away from home and we have ensured all mattresses are very comfortable. In addition, the mid-level King bedroom has a Tempurpedic brand mattress. All bedrooms have both blackout blinds AND blackout curtains ensuring you can sleep in as long as you’d like!


POOL:
Open daily Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend and then every weekend in September.
Right across the street are the Epstein St. Beach access and the Village Beach Club private members only Oceanfront pool. The Village Beach Club Oceanfront Pool is included with your stay. The Beach Club also serves food and drink! They have plenty of parking as well as a separate private beach access so that you can park and access the beach without ever having to walk through the pool area. It is a private membership pool and, therefore, typically doesn’t get too crowded. *Pool hours 10am-5pm, subject to change due to private events they may occasionally close an hour early at 4pm or even earlier due to weather although they will reopen after threat passes*


POOL FOOD/DRINK/AMENITIES:
The beach club does offer food and drink (they have smoothies and also have a bar) and have wait staff that take and deliver poolside orders which is a great amenity especially for those with little ones! It’s also great for those long, lazy beach days where you can just walk over to the club from the beach and grab a snack or something refreshing to drink, made to order, and walk right back to your chair. The club also has a double tennis court. We provide both adult and children tennis and pickleball rackets and balls with our rental.


TV's/WI-FI:
Every bedroom has a flat screen TV and Roku streaming (with Hulu Live TV for news/cable channels) as well as a large screen TV in the upstairs family room. They are all smart TV's. Entire home has upgraded Wi-Fi. The bunk bedroom has one of the largest TV’s in the house, we find that the kids love to hang in there to play video games or watch movies together :)


OUTDOOR SHOWER AND GRILL:
In the covered carport area you will find an outdoor shower. We do have a propane grill (propane provided), stools, Adirondack chairs and string lights for some hang out time while you grill :)


LAYOUT:
The heart of the home, on the top/3rd floor, has an open floor plan kitchen, dining area (seats 6), kitchen island/bar (seats 4) and family room. The top level has a back deck off the kitchen, with a picnic table and 4 high top chairs and high top table, that faces beach road and this is where you will get your Ocean view. There is a washer and dryer on this level as well as a half bathroom. There are two flights of stairs from the bottom level to the top level.


KITCHEN:
The kitchen includes everything you would need to prepare, eat and store food - including spices. We provide both a Keurig coffee maker and/or drip coffee maker for your morning coffee on the back deck. We also provide a Ninja Blender. We do not have an ice maker but provide ice cube trays. There is also plenty of room in the freezer for bagged ice.


ONLINE GUIDEBOOK/DOCUSIGN AGREEMENT:
Upon booking you will receive a message with a link to our online guidebook that we are constantly updating with more detailed information about the house and area as well as our suggestions for activities, sightseeing, restaurants and bars.

Also, a signed and returned DocuSign short term rental agreement will be required prior to check in. We reserve the right to cancel if the rental agreement is not signed. We are required by the NORTH CAROLINA VACATION RENTAL ACT to have a separate written rental agreement with our renters. (This act requires that landlords or real estate brokers provide a written rental agreement to tenants who rent a vacation property for less than 90 days.)
