This cottage belonged to my grandmother and I have many memories sitting around her red kitchen table. I hope you and your loved ones create fun and forever lasting memories around that same red kitchen table when you stay at The Birds and the Bees.

We love dogs and know that taking them along on vacation is a must sometimes. I allow one dog with a $75 non refundable charge .I sometimes make exceptions for an additional smaller dog, but please ask first . PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE PET FEE IN YOUR RESERVATIONS.

Our yard is not fenced but we have plenty of room to walk in the back yard . If they've played at the beach, I have provided special towels for your dog to dry them after they're rinsed off from the hose we provide on the deck. Please no dogs on the furniture and bed and PLEASE clean up after your dog in the yard.. Thank you for loving your doggies and we hope they have a great time too. Feel free to ask any questions about our policy. ALSO A NATURE TRAIL THAT I HAVE PICTURED BOTH IN MY PHOTOS.

The cottage was as described, we came in for a wedding with a senior dog and this place hit the mark, and then some. There ain't a fenced yard but that did matter, there is plenty of room to walk them outside. The home is older but well kept and clean! Cute spot off of the main drag, which is really nice and conveniently close to all the things OBX has to offer!

The cottage was so cute, very mid century modern. There was only two of us and a dog so it was plenty big enough. Owners made excellent restaurant recommendations.

MCM Dream!!

My friends and I absolutely loved our stay here! We enjoyed playing games on the red table, listening to records on the turntable, and grilling out on the patio. The host provided beach chairs and an umbrella which we were very thankful for. Would absolutely return, this place is a gem in OBX!

This property was very cute and cozy. It was not far from anything. It was a very quick drive to the beach or to the grocery store. We are happy it had two bedrooms so my husband and I could stay in one and our almost one year-old in the other. This property is also dog friendly so that made this quick vacation a whole lot easier on us.

Very clean, super fun property! The record player with vintage records was a huge hit with us! The beach chairs and boogie boards came in very handy because the ocean is only a 2 minute drive away! We had a lot of fun playing into the 70s theme of the cottage, and you can feel the love every time you step in. We will recommend this place to everyone! Thank you for an amazing experience!

Great little spot in Kitty Hawk

My family enjoyed our short stay at this very clean and conveniently located property in Kitty Hawk. We appreciated the outdoor shower and beach gear for our trips to the beach. Host was super responsive and helpful! Holli even brought us a new umbrella once she heard we had issues with the existing one. We will definitely come back!

Host profile image
I've lived on the Outer Banks all my life. I'm actually an 8th generation Outer Banker! My husband , Bryan is from Bethesda MD. we have a son, Perry that we adore and he goes to NC State.. Go Wolfpack!!
I have many cherished childhood memories here. Family meals at her table, playing with my cousins, many sleepovers and just time spent with her. My hope is that you and your family create your own new memories around my grandmother's kitchen table and return again and again to Time and Tide Cottage.

Why they chose this property

DOG POLICY
1 dog $85 non refundable
We loooove dogs and we know you do too, but some dogs react differently to new surroundings so we would ask that you please crate your dog when you are not there. Our yard is not fenced but we have plenty of room to walk in the back yard and a dog park a five minute walk away if they need to run and play. I have provided special towels for your dog to dry them off after they're rinsed off from the hose we provide on the deck.Please no dogs on the furniture and beds PLEASE. Thank you for loving your doggies and we hope they have a great time too. feel free to ask any questions about our policy.

Kitty Hawk is centrally located for all your sightseeing and beach going needs.
Time and Tide Cottage was my grandmother's home built in '52. My husband and I have renovated it back to where it should be, a place of joy, rest and contentment. I know my grandmother would be proud.
