About this property

Renovated Cottage With Screened Porch, Ocean View, 5 Minute Walk To Beach!

Welcome to 'Sandy Toes' and the Outer Banks. This is where troubles fade away and memories are made!

This classic Outer Banks style cottage is conveniently located at MP 3.7 in Kitty Hawk, a favorite spot of long time Outer Banks visitors. Two of the bedrooms have queen-sized beds. The third bedroom has a twin-over-full bunk bed. There are two full baths, one adjoining the master bedroom. There is also an outdoor shower with hot/cold water to clean off after a great day at the beach. The cottage has been COMPLETELY remodeled in the last few years and has lots of high-end touches to make you feel at home! Here are the most recent improvements:

We've also made the move to streaming TV - YouTube TV (over 60+ channels) and Hulu are all included in your rental at no extra cost! With a 400Mps internet connection, you'll have plenty of bandwidth for everyone. And you can use your Netflix or Amazon Prime account to access so much more! You'll have a blast in the evenings here.

Sandy Toes is kid-friendly! A high chair, changing pad, portable crib, crib sheets and toddler cups/utensils are provided. In addition, there are plenty of beach toys to go along with the 6 beach chairs, 4 boogie boards and other equipment ready for you to use, all stored in the laundry room downstairs. For our grown-up guests, we get you started with a combination Keurig/drip coffee maker, coffee filters, paper plates, paper towels, dishwasher detergent, and and many other supplies not typically included. House cleaning is included in your rental fee at no extra charge - all costs are built into your rental fee! Just take the trash to the curb, empty the fridge, sweep the floors and you're on your way home.

We include many more of the comforts of home are already waiting for you at Sandy Toes. Every bedroom has several pillows and extra blankets to go along with comforters and pillows included on each bed, and there is ample storage for all your traveling belongings in every room (Note that sheets and bath towels are not provided). Dressers, closets and hanging space galore. In addition, there is a fully stocked laundry room, replete with laundry detergent, fabric softener and dryer sheets so you can clean up while having fun at the OBX. Lots of beach toys and four boogie boards are kept in the laundry room for the best beach fun! Linens are not provided, however, rental for sheets and beach towels are available to rent from a number of companies in the Outer Banks.

Sandy Toes is located in a quiet neighborhood one block off the beach at approximately milepost 3.7 - close to dining, shopping, and family recreation. There is plenty of deck space, a screened-in porch with views of the ocean, chairs and a swing, and a short 4-minute walk to the beach. Feel the stress melt away as you sit on the porch gazing at the deep blue ocean. Life doesn't get any better than this!

We are unable to rent to non-related groups under the age of 25, or for the property to be used for a wedding or party venue of any type. Sandy Toes is a non-smoking property and does not accept pets. Please note that all guests will be required to provide a copy of your driver's license and the names and ages of all travelers in your party. Thank you, and we hope to see you at the beach!

Our stay at Sandy Toes was a great experience for all of us outside of the miscommunication regarding towels and sheets. We most enjoyed the closeness to the beach and the awesome front porch! We also enjoyed the great restaurants that were close by! I would definitely refer this beautiful place to friends!

Perfect Getaway

Scott’s house was just as advertised. Well appointed, clean, and family friendly. We would highly recommend this property for folks looking for a place at Kitty Hawk. Great restaurants close by, a short easy stroll to the beach, and a perfect screened in porch to listen to the waves in the evenings with a nightcap.

About the host

Hosted by Scott Hall (Owner); Johnny Pinner (Property Manager)

Host profile image
We have been coming to the Outer Banks on vacation for 35 years. While we live in the DC area, we always consider the Outer Banks our second home. Going to the Outer Banks is a tradition for many of those who went to school in Virginia; now my wife and family are part of that tradition.

Why they chose this property

With two children of our own, we wanted a place where we could make our own traditions and share such a wonderful place with others. It's the perfect size for small groups and families and has all the finer touches you appreciate. It's family-friendly with all the gear you need, a short walk to the beach and other attractions and is the perfect cottage getaway. We also have high-quality technology (40" and 55" 4K HDTVs with high-speed internet and streaming) for those rainy days and a full library if you prefer to cozy up with a good book.

What makes this property unique

Our property manager, Johnny, has managed the property for 15 years and lives close by. He's available to answer any questions you might have and help out should you need any assistance. We hope you'll come back year after year and make traditions of your own!
