About this property

Booking for 2024! At beach access with lifeguard!Fenced in yard & screened porch

This charming (non-smoking) 3 bedroom, 2 bath cottage has a large fenced in backyard and screened in back porch for that early morning coffee or afternoon beverage. Backyard is sod grass with no briars! Great for small mature families, 3 couples and/or people with difficulty climbing many steps. NO PARTY GROUPS/ NO PETS ! No CHARGING ELECTRIC VEHICLES! Brand new modern kitchen that is fully equipped. New outdoor decks and wonderful living area for the entire family to gather. Outdoor grilling and picnic table are out back for a family crab boil! . Master bedroom has it's own private entrance to the screened porch so you don't disturb your guest if you rise early for that beautiful sunrise over the Atlantic. Large hammock that can be taken out back to soak up the sun! The outdoor shower is also connected to the screened porch so you don't have to go outside to get to it. Also, there is seating on the shaded front porch to kick back in the a.m. First house off beach road and beach access right at a lifeguard stand makes it easy to get to the sand! We are across the street from The Sea Ranch Resort.
We provide beach chairs and some toys for your beach trip. Bath linens and kitchen towels are provided. Kitchen staples are provided to get you started. Full size washer and dryer in laundry closet , clothesline out back and one on screened porch for all those wet suits and towels. YOU MUST PROVIDE YOUR OWN SHEETS AND BEACH TOWELS !! If you choose to use bath towels provided, you must allow enough time on checkout day to wash, dry and restock them on shelf before departure.
NO PETS ALLOWED however, there are some very nice boarding facilities within minutes of the cottage if you want your pets close to check on.
The local YMCA is just a few miles away and offers weekly packages for an additional fee for those families wanting pool time.We are also a 20 minute drive from the new Outer Banks water park. However, you are across the street from the OCEAN!
Sandy Bottoms bright and happy decor is constantly changing. We always have a project to improve and upgrade our second home. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! There is one camera on the front porch, and one camera on the back porch for outside security ****WE ARE ONLY ON VRBO/HOMEAWAY FAMILY SITES****BE AWARE OF SCAMS!!

Beautiful and cozy place right by the beach!
This house is cozy and beautifully decorated. I really appreciated all the seating choices! The living room was comfortable and the screened in porch is a unique addition that I enjoyed reading my book and drinking my coffee in. The location is hard to beat since the beach is right there! The front porch was a great spot for coffee and to just enjoy the beach air! I also loved the back yard space with the outdoor private shower. The place had everything we needed in the kitchen as well which made eating in very easy!

Home away from home & 1 block from the beach
We opened the door into a comfortable beach house with: a modern equipped kitchen; a large screened-in back porch with seating and dining table; and a fenced-in back yard complete with grill, picnic table, hammock, clothes lines, and plenty of thick grass to walk around barefoot. The front porch is great for people watching and meeting locals who live in the neighborhood. Plus, it's located near shopping and restaurants. All-in-all, a great place to stay in Kill Devil Hills. Enjoy!

Always a pleasure to stay at Sandy Bottoms
Sandy Bottoms is the epitome of a quaint OBX beach cottage in our estimation! We had stayed at this cottage before the current owners bought the property, and must say Keturah has beautifully transformed this adorable cottage!!! Almost unrecognizable !! Lovely upgrades in the kitchen, bathroom , flooring, addition of an outdoor patio, outdoor enclosed shower, and many tasteful beach themed decorations throughout the cottage. Comfortable furniture, across from the Sea Ranch resort for a great breakfast, and a quick walk to the beach make for a perfect stay at Sandy Bottoms for our family!! The only very minor surprise was that we had to bring our own umbrella for the outdoor table on the patio which we assumed was included judging from the pictures of the cottage showing beach umbrella at the table. Again, a very minor inconvenience for us to pack our own beach umbrella. Definitely plan to enjoy a future stay at the Epps adorable Sandy Bottoms!!!

About the host

Hosted by Keturah Epps

Host profile image
The Epps are high school sweethearts who have been married for over 20 years with two teenagers. Their love of the beach fueled their goal-oriented personalities, hence, FINALLY....Sandy Bottoms beach cottage.

Why they chose this property

A beach cottage had been a dream of The Epps for years and finally when this low level bungalow became available, it seemed perfect especially with bad knees in the family! :) There were so many ironic things that pointed them towards Sandy Bottoms. It's quaintness and proximity to the beach made it clear that there would be lots of fun times at the beach to experience!

What makes this property unique

Location,location,location !!! Close walk to the beach,grocery store , Jolly Roger Restaurant and The Sea Ranch Resort . Also, the big back porch could accommodate rainy days in a hammock..
