For those people looking for elegant, upper crust accommodations, this isn’t your place. These cottages were built a long time ago, and is a reflection of what I would describe as “fishing cabins”. Wood paneling and ceilings throughout, small but adequate kitchenette. There’s a nice, large HDTV, queen bed in one room, two twins in the second bedroom. The cottage is centrally located on the beach road, away from the major traffic on the bypass. It is in the middle of the Outer Banks, so either direction is an adventure. You cannot see the ocean from the cottage due to the extensive buildings on the ocean side of the beach road, as well as the sand dunes, which help to protect the properties.
We chose this location to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. In researching rentals, I found these cottages (there are a total of 5), to be among the very few that accommodate just two people. Most sleep 6 up to 20, and are priced accordingly. Also, the cottages are pet friendly, which isn’t easy to find. Our 2 labs were right at home.
The front porch has comfortable chairs, and a gate to contain pets or children. It makes for a relaxing afternoon, and was enjoyable to get to know the like-minded neighbors!
A large variety of restaurants are close, or just fix a meal in the kitchen or on the available grills. It’s the perfect get-away for retirees or “red-necks”……like us!
