We spend every Fourth of July in the Outer Banks, and this was hands down our favorite place we've stayed! It was the perfect cottage for our family of five (plus our Golden Retriever).The cottage was cozy, spotless, thoughtfully appointed, and had everything we needed for a relaxing week at the beach. One of our favorite parts was the easy beach access, which made trips back and forth with three kids and our dog so simple. We also loved being just minutes from our favorite Outer Banks restaurant, Tortuga's Lie. We usually rent a larger home with a pool, so we were a little nervous we'd miss that amenity—but honestly, we didn't miss it one bit! We had perfect beach weather all week, and the cottage was within walking distance of mini golf, great restaurants, and ice cream, making it an ideal location for our family.As an added bonus, it had the best view of the Fourth of July fireworks show we've ever had in all our years coming to the Outer Banks. It made an already special tradition even more memorable.We even had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating. You can tell they truly care about their guests' experience.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming, family-friendly place to enjoy the Outer Banks!
