We had a wonderful time at the house. It had everything we look for, a well maintained house with direct access to the beach, and with the outer deck providing spectacular views of the ocean, it made for a relaxing week at the beach.

Our Annual Vacation in OBX

We and our friends like to come to OBX every year, off-season, and we always stay at Seascape. We found this gem years ago and have been returning annually ever since. It's a cozy retreat with the feeling of a home. The host is always changing or updating something in the house each year, which shows the love she has for it. We like coming off-season; but for those who like to come in-season, it's right on the beach for easy access and convenient to anything in the outer banks

Great location

First time to OBX. Wonderful central location, we went north to Corolla to see horses and south past Nags head for a fishing charter. Being right on beach without crowds can’t be beat -absolutely loved that!! Well stocked home with beach towels, chairs etc. as listed. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this home.

Winter Get-away

This house was PERFECT for our impromptu new year get away! It was the cleanest rental I believe I have ever rented! The photos do not do this place justice! Big rooms, big enclosed deck, just steps from the waters edge! The dogs enjoyed the property just as much as we did! Given the opportunity we would most definitely rent this home again! A+ RENTAL, LOCATION AND VIEWS!

Great House!

This was an excellent house that is clearly loved and taken care of with very nice updates and appliances. We definitely made the most of the instant access to the beach, took in all the great views (particularly the sun rise) and used the extensive outdoor seating. We also found the relatively close location/proximity to the stores extremely helpful when we realized we had forgotten to pick up a food or clothing item! We would definitely recommend this house to others!

You will come back!

Like we have for 3 years! Seascape Cottage is the perfect getaway for us - right on the beach with beautiful sunrises, set back from the road, GREAT kitchen (we like to cook!), CLEAN-CLEAN-CLEAN! We stayed 2 weeks this year, long enough to really RELAX which we needed so desperately. Location is convenient to absolutely all the necessities and avoids the biggest hustle and bustle traffic areas. This year was our 3rd stay. The host is always responsive to questions and communications.

May trip

This house was very nice, pictures showed are just what it looks like. Nice ocean front house with decks across the ocean side of the house with a walk way to the beach and a beach front deck area. There is also grilling and seating areas under the decks on the ground floor. Plenty of outdoor seating with umbrellas to use for shade.also has a small covered roadside porch. A central living area and big dining room. Lots of books, puzzles and games for any rainy days. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking in. A great house to relax and enjoy the beach.

Walk out to a beautiful sunrise

Location Location! This house was exactly as advertised, Ann has such a special place ! Went with my husband and 2 18 year olds…daughter and her friend. We all had plenty of space and having opposite wings gave wonderful privacy when needed. Everything was clean, comfortable.. we wanted for nothing! Fully stocked with everything we needed for an enjoyable week. The decks leading to the beach were stunning.. it felt like our own private beach every time we stepped out. A great jumping off point to explore all parts of the OBX. Easy day trips to the 4x4 beaches of Carolla all the way to the other end with a ferry to Okracoke. The house is perfectly located and you just cannot beat walking out directly to the beach. We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Ann Burns

Host profile image
The Burns family is the current owner of this wonderful beachfront property. Originally house was built in the 1950's, the current owner's family purchased the property in 1968. In 1985 the year round residence was built and is now being offered as a vacation retreat. Come enjoy our oceanfront home and share the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean panorama.

Why they chose this property

This centrally located private home with stunning oceanfront panorama is just a mile and a half from the Wright Memorial Bridge. When you reach 'the banks' you are moments away from the real start of your vacation! Enjoy the easy access to shopping, restaurants and the many outdoor activities of the outer Banks. Visit Duck (north) or Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills (south) or the tidewater sounds of the Outer Banks (west).

What makes this property unique

This is a great home for families looking to spend quality time with the kids. Short car rides take you to the many local attractions. The beach is just across the deck and down the dune steps! There are also miles of quiet residential streets and pathways thru Southern Shores community to explore on foot or by bike. Our house has a central living area and offers separate sleeping wings on the same floor for maximum privacy. You will love watching the sun rise from the master bedroom!
