Feeling Vintage OBX

What a surprise to once again find ourselves in one of the little old OBX cottages after not finding them for about 20 years. BUT it had been recently updated to our delight! New everything in the kitchen was great. The “beach box” was charming and suited to the 2 of us…although we could’ve had 2 more at least. We’ll be back!

A fine place to stay

This house is fine- nothing more, nothing less. The furniture is fine but there is too much of it for the space so not everyone can fit at the table for a meal. There is one and only one roll of toilet paper and no coffee or coffee filters or cooking oil or anything other than salt and pepper. It is close to a public beach entrance but not a lot else. The tiny postage stamp of a yard was a fine place to let the dogs out one last time before bed but too small for anything else. It was clean and the kitchen appliances seemed new and were easy to use. The washer and dryer take up an absurd amount of space in such a small house.

Nice little cabin for a weekend getaway with our dogs. The furniture was comfortable and we had everything we needed. It’s a short walk across the street to the beach. Communication was good and we were called much earlier than our expected check in and told it was ready and we could go ahead and check in. We would stay there again.

Such A Great Getaway!

This is our second year staying here, and it continues to be the perfect getaway! It's an ideal spot to bring our dogs, with easy access to the beach, and the peaceful, quiet surroundings make it a true retreat. The place is always spotless, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we need for a relaxing vacation. We couldn't ask for more and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil, dog-friendly escape by the sea.

Pleasant convenient house

This house is small, not fancy, but comfortable and informally decorated. Everything works, and the kitchen is new. I booked last minute after another trip fell through. The owner was very helpful in getting this done quickly! The house is at ground level--absolutely no steps if you have (like I do) a bad knee. The beach is just across the road and a dune--you can't see the ocean but there is easy access. Close to a lot of things! I had a nice couple days there. I found the combination dog-pooping area and picnic table/grill odd and unappealing. Maybe dog owners would see it differently!

Relaxing

The cottage was great especially with our 2 dogs. The yard was great to let them into for play & doing their “business”. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. The only issue was the mattress on the queen bed was too soft & you tend to roll to the middle. The walk to the beach was easy & crossing street wasn’t bad as traffic was light. We will be back!
