This was our second stay at Mo’s Cottage and it did not disappoint!! We just love it there…the cottage is clean, very comfortable, convenient beach access and the screened porch is the icing on the cake…perfect for morning coffee, perfect in the afternoon after the beach and perfect in the evening. We can’t say enough good things about Mo’s and we look forward to coming again!

We enjoyed our time at the beach, which by the way is at the end of the block about four houses away. The outdoor shower was very convenient after a day at the beach. Not listed, but fun was the ice cream shop less than a 10th of a mile away. We do plan on staying again in the spring

Terrific location, terrific house!

We had a great time in this charming cottage, a 1 minute walk from the beach. It's super comfy, and the wrap around deck is wonderful. We'd definitely stay there again!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The house had everything we needed and was only a short walk to the beach. I spent a lot of time reading on the screened in porch. We would definitely stay here again.

Spring Break in Salvo

This was the perfect little beach hit for me and my two boys - equipped for everything we needed, very comfortable and homely, super close to the beach, and provided us with a great base to explore much that OBX has to offer. Superb value for us, thank you!
