The Coziest Coastal Cottage on the Outer Banks
If you're looking for a cozy coastal cottage for your Outer Banks getaway, then The Captain's Quarters is it! This adorable soundside cottage is the epitome of charm. Perfect for a romantic getaway or a small family, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath vacation home has everything you need to relax and enjoy everything the Outer Banks has to offer.

When you walk through the front door of this open floorplan, you will be greeted by modern furnishings with a retro charm. Lounge on the sofa or one of the two oversized armchairs. Across from the living area is where you will find the dining area tucked away. It features a round table with seating for 4. The well-appointed kitchen is located on the other side of the living area. It features all of the necessities for preparing coastal cuisine and now includes a dishwasher and countertop ice maker for relaxing evenings with a cool drink or the perfect reprieve on a warm summer day. A buffet table offers extra kitchen storage and is also where you will find utensils, plates, retro drinkware, a Keurig and more. When it's time to retire, both bedrooms can be found across from the kitchen. One bedroom features a queen bed with a TV; the other bedroom features a pyramid bunk (twin-over-full). Both rooms have a closet to store all of your beach clothes! The full bathroom with a shower/tub combo is located off of the kitchen as well.

Step outside onto the deck and relax on the outdoor loveseat while you soak in the sunshine and salt air. Go downstairs and head to the large backyard and you'll find a spacious outdoor shower - perfect for rinsing off the sand after a long day on the beach. Locals Tip: Bring your bikes and take a ride in the evening and witness the most spectacular sunsets around!

Convenient Location for Soundside Exploration
The Captain's Quarters' prime location makes it easy for you to explore Kill Devil Hills. The Avalon Beach sound side public beach access with parking is only half a mile away. Keep heading north and you will find the sound side Hayman Pier and Gazebo, a 0.8-mile walk or bike ride away, and is the perfect place to watch colorful sunsets over the sound. A boat ramp access is also located nearby for visitors who want to take to the water for a day of sailing, fishing, or crabbing.

One mile away you'll find a Food Lion and a Publix Supermarket for all your grocery needs, and the Wright Brothers National Memorial where you'll learn about the important role the Outer Banks played in aviation history. Craving breakfast or your morning cuppa joe? Henry's Restaurant, Ashley's Espresso Parlour, Front Porch Cafe and Dunkin Donuts are all within a mile. Also located nearby is Paradise Golf & Arcade where kids of all ages will revel in miniature golf courses, a go-kart track, spin zone bumper cars, an outdoor trampoline, and more! You can try reeling in the big one off the historic 700-ft long Avalon Fishing Pier or grab lunch at Awful Arthurs across the street from the pier. For a delicious seafood dinner, try the Jolly Roger, Chilli Peppers Coastal Grill, Two Roads Tavern or the Black Pelican— which all double as great places for a cold drink on a hot summer evening! Several wine bars, sweet shops and ice cream parlors also wait to indulge you within 2 miles. With so many delightful amenities inside and so many options within a few miles of your doorstep, you'll want to stay at The Captain's Quarters year after year!
