Cozy Cottage

We enjoyed our relaxing stay at Brendan’s Cottage. It felt like home to our family with teens. The pier was a nice attraction and the beach was a quick walk up the street. It’s an easy walk or bike ride to the coffee shop and activities on the sound. Can’t wait to return!

First time at OBX

Overall the house was very nice, good location,and quiet neighborhood. Only complaint we had were the mattresses, I tried every bed in the house they all need replaced in my opinion, for the money these places cost you should be able to get a good nights sleep.

perfect and quiet

Everything was just as shown on the web site. The dog loved the easy walk to the beach and pier. Quiet area. Beware business and shops are having worker issues, be patient. Only complaint pots and pans were terrible. Bring a good frying pan and pot. I'd stay here again in a minute.

Relaxing vacation

We had a nice week at Brendan’s Cottage. Good location near the beach and fishing pier. Very short walk. We brought our dog and the place was pet friendly. Area was under rip current advisory so that limited our swimming in the ocean. Only a couple minor concerns with the place. Grill advertised was dirty and only one side was usable so that limited the meals we could cook. Also mold noted in vent of second bathroom. Would definitely consider staying here in the future.

Had a great time

Everything went smoothly except for a couple of things. We arrived late Saturday night and had no idea where the linens were. We had to call the emergency number, and were finally told where they were. Also, the wifi password on the router was not accurate. We had to call the tech support number, and they told us to try using the phone number of the house. That ended up working. It would have been nice if these things were made more clearly for us, so it wasn't so much of a challenge on the first night we arrived.

GREAT Location!

Great neighborhood. Quick walk to the beach- 5 minutes. Right next to Rodanthe Pier- can rent fishing poles for $10 & fishing is $12 for the entire day. Free music a couple of evenings/week. We brought many of our groceries & went to Waves for the rest- in hindsight should have made the 15-20 minute trip to Avon for much bigger grocery store. Also would it would have been nice to have more than 1 garbage bag and 1 dishwasher detergent for the entire week's stay. Also should just say 6:00 for check in- we arrived around 4:30, saw the person was cleaning so went to the grocery store. When we came back at 5:15 they were gone. We waited on the picnic table on the porch with all of our stuff. We didn't receive our code to the house until 6:07. Just FYI the restaurants close early (8:00) and many are closed/short-staffed in the Rodanthe area.

Relaxing

This was a relaxing vacation. It’s nice that you don’t have to cross any roads to get tor the beach. It’s a bit inconvenient that you have to drive 30 minutes to get to a real grocery store, so bring all that you need. Overall, pretty perfect!

Great place, but problem with WiFi/management

Ignoring the WiFi, this place is great. 2-5 minute walk to the beach depending on if you have kids. Very comfortable, but like other people mention they don't provide much for you in terms of toiletries, paper towels etc. And the skillets aren't great. But we had a great time Including the WiFi problem: If not for the wifi not working for 2 days until I reset the router myself, I'd give it 5 stars. Called and left a message on day of check-in, but you get in after 6 so received no reply. On Sunday I got called as a standard procedure but they didn't know about the wifi. Did not get call back after 20 minutes and instead reached out 2 hours later but heard nothing. That evening called again and finally got a maintenance request for Monday. Monday morning I finally reset the router which someone had set to a brand new network, and it set it back to the default SSID and Password (this does not match the network 100% listed on the fridge). So I would think the place is great, but the management isn't very responsive. I'd stay here again but would do it knowing that they manage a ton of properties and not everything is a high priority.
