We loved our stay in this adorable cottage. It accommodated us in every way. It is well equipped, has very comfy beds, is centrally located and has a lovely view of the ocean. Everything the listing described is accurate. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again … it's a jewel!
We had another wonderful week at Current View! This was our second year staying here, and it was just as excellent as the first. The home is comfortable, clean, well-maintained, and has everything we need for a relaxing summer vacation! We love the location and the property itself, and it truly feels like our home away from home.

Thank you! We’re thrilled to have welcomed you back to Current View Cottage for a second year. It means so much to hear that you continue to enjoy the home, location, and all the little things that make your stay relaxing and comfortable. We truly appreciate you choosing us for your family vacation, and we hope to see you again next summer!
I took my family for the first time to OBX. we traveled with my 14 month old granddaughter. The house was everything and more compared to the listing. The house was clean and so very cute witdecoration. But felt just like home. They stock it with all you could want and more. The host was AMAZING. She responded in minutes when we reached out and she provided great recommendations when we asked about food and sites to see. I give it a 5 star rating and would recommend any family looking for a great vacation home to rent!
We brought our baby here for her first beach trip and it was wonderful. There is beach access 1 minute away from the house, so we literally carried her every day, multiple times a day and it was so easy and convenient. Being able to see the beach from the living room was breath taking. We loved staying here and hope to come back again. Thank you so much for giving us such a great experience. We made memories here that we will cherish forever.

Thank you so much for sharing this! 🥰 We’re honored that our home was part of your baby’s very first beach trip and that the easy beach access made things so convenient for your family. 🏖️ Hearing that you made memories you’ll cherish forever truly means so much to us. We’d absolutely love to welcome you back for another special getaway! 💕🌊
We stayed here with our extended family (including two kids), and this property exceeded all our expectations. The house was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated with a cozy coastal feel, and had an incredible layout that gave everyone enough space to relax.The location couldn't be better, just a short, easy walk to the gorgeous beach, which made hauling kids and gear a breeze. We especially loved the outdoor patio area for morning coffee, and the bonus beach chairs, equipment, and toys provided by the host. Communication with the host was seamless, and check-in was completely hassle-free. If you are looking for a comfortable, perfectly located home-away-from-home for your family vacation, look no further.

Thanks so much! We're so glad you loved the house and the location. You were awesome guests, and we'd love to have you back whenever you're ready for another getaway!
This place was clean and probably the most organized kitchen I've seen for a beach rental. This place is very kid friendly with more than enough beach toys, plus toys for the house. The host was very responsive and on top of things. The master bedroom wasn’t the most private, but we made it work. The view and walk to the beach was also great.

I am thrilled to hear that the property was perfect for your family and that your children enjoyed the games—that is exactly the kind of experience I hope to provide. I’m also glad the location worked well for your beach outings. We would love to host you again anytime!
Cute, obviously old, cottage that has been very well remodeled. A little smaller than expected but cozy and comfortably fit the amount of people as advertised! Very nice location right by the beach. The hot tub and supply shed with beach accessories were nice amenities. The hosts were very informative, generous and quick to respond to messages/questions. The complementary cookie tray was a delicious bonus. Would return in the future!

Thank you! We're so glad Current View Cottage met and exceeded your expectations. Please come back again!
loved the location. It was an easy drive north to Corolla one day and south to Hatteras another day. This house is in a fairly busy part of the outer banks. Although beach itself was not busy at all! Loved our stay and exploring this coast. Hosts were great, house was great! Our week was fairly chilly so we loved having the hot tub!?

Thank you for the positive review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the location and were able to explore both Corolla and Hatteras during your stay. It’s one of our favorite things about the Outer Banks too — being close to so much while still having a quieter stretch of beach to relax on.
We’re happy to hear the house and hot tub helped make the chilly week extra cozy! Thank you again for staying with us, and we’d love to host you again for another OBX adventure anytime.
We had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed our time in this home. The fully stocked kitchen made everything so easy, and we appreciated having access to the bikes and beach chairs. The hot tub was a great bonus after long days out. The layout of the house was perfect for privacy, and we loved the charm and character of the unique older home. The sand kitchen was a big hit and got lots of use during our stay. Overall, it was a fantastic place to stay, and we would happily return!

Thank you for the kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the house and made good use of the kitchen, bikes, beach chairs, and hot tub.
The sand kitchen tends to be a favorite with kids, so we love hearing that it got plenty of use! And we’re happy the layout of the home gave everyone the space and privacy they needed while still enjoying the charm of the cottage.
You were a pleasure to host, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime. Thanks again for choosing Current View Cottage for your stay!
The cottage was everything we hoped for and more for our family vacation. It was very clean, the kitchen was more than adequately stocked. The cottage is tastefully decorated and very comfortable. There was adequate seating for our group of nine. The hot tub was clean and no problems. The host was very responsive to any questions and/or communications we had and her instructions were clear and specific throughout our booking, check-in and check-out. The cottage was centrally located for our activities. Beach access is very easy from the cottage. I would definitely return to this property. May, 2026

It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate your feedback. We would love to welcome you back for another Outer Banks vacation in the future!
Amazing home in amazing location. Full of ocean views and less than a 1 minute walk to relaxing on the beach.We especially enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub on the huge front deck. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our time with our two families of four. They had all the beach equipment you would ever need... and toys, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, skim boards, and a wagon to haul it all right across the street. Communication with David and Kerry was quick and easy! Can't wait to visit again.

It’s great to know the hot tub on the deck was a highlight for your group—there’s nothing quite like relaxing there after a day on the sand. We truly enjoyed hosting you and would love to welcome you all back for another visit anytime!
House was cute. Had a cottage feel. Well maintained for an older house. The new deck and view was beautiful. Friendly hosts. Perfect for a girls trip.

We’ve stayed at this beach house several times now (I think this was our third or fourth visit), and it continues to be one of our favorite places to stay. Every time we come back, it feels just as special.The owners are always incredibly responsive, kind, and easy to work with, which makes the entire experience smooth from start to finish. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests and the property.The view is absolutely amazing—one of the best parts of staying here. It never gets old, no matter how many times we visit.This trip, we also noticed some updates to the decor and furniture, including larger beds, which were such a nice bonus and made the stay even more comfortable.We truly love this place and will absolutely be back again!

Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us for the third (or fourth!) time! It was a pleasure having you back, and we’re thrilled to hear that the new furniture and larger beds added to your comfort this trip.
We never tire of that view either, and knowing it still feels special to you means the world to us. We truly appreciate your kind words and can’t wait to welcome you back for your next visit!
David and Kerry were wonderful hosts, very welcoming and were there to answer any questions we may have had. The cottage was cozy with spectacular views of the ocean and sunrise, the hosts really take care of the property and their guests. We had a relaxing weekend getaway in a beautiful cottage that was perfect for our family. Highly recommended Current View Cottage and look forward to future stays.

We truly appreciate how thoughtful guests like you help keep the good energy flowing here by the sea. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another peaceful escape!
We had a very nice stay at the cottage. The house had plenty of beach cottage charm and came with useful house goodies. It felt clean, had all we needed (dishes, glasses, board games, sand toys) and everyone said the beds slept comfortably. Hot tub kept the kids plenty busy as we landed on a cold, windy spring break week. We were hopeful for a grill but using the park style charcoal grill would have been impossible with the wind. The sleeping setup was perfect for our family as the bunks can be joined with another room and all the adults were upstairs. With that windy week we got to relax with coffee and the house has good views of the ocean that made us very happy. We would definitely return to this house and all had a great visit.
