About this property

DOGS AND DAY DREAMS! August & September dates available

  • LAID BACK LOCATION WITH A CASUAL VIBE.
    "Coco's Cottage" is a classic OBX "beach box" with what you & your dogs need to RELAX and enjoy your time at the beach. Located near MP 6.5, between the roads. Built in 1972, much of the interior remains unchanged, including some of the decor & artifacts! 2 full baths & 2 queen beds, along with 2 twin beds. Comfortable furniture, kitschy decor, pet-friendly front porch and under-house area (picnic table, grill, ice cream maker, shower), LOTS of kitchen utensils, and tons of relaxing vibes! Games, books, Wi-Fi, TV's and the same beach & salt air as available at places costing 18 times as much!!
    1 block from the Beach Road & 5th St beach access at the LIFEGUARD BEACH. 3 blocks from the Avalon Fishing Pier. Target (with Starbucks) is at the end of the street, and on the way to the beach. Belk, Food Lion, WaWa and other shopping is across the by-pass from Target - all within walking distance.
    We hope you can visit and "live like a local" while enjoying all that the area has to offer. SIT! STAY !!

We stayed at the property for 2 weeks with our 2 dogs. The property was perfect for us and walking distance to the beach. I would recommend this property to other family’s with dogs. Don also let us check in early which was great as we were tracking with our dogs from Massachusetts!

Great beach box in a good location. It's very dated and needs renovations, but a GREAT value for the price tag AND allows pets with a cheap pet fee. Bring your own toilet paper!

Excellent location!

We had a fantastic stay at Kill Devil Hills. This is an excellent location just one block from the beach and across the street from Target and Starbucks. We were also walking distance from restaurants so did not have to drive at all during our stay. Beautiful beach. Very dog friendly place. Remember to bring your own linens and toiletries and it’s a great place to stay.

Amazing Cottage

The description in VRBO is very accurate. It’s an older cottage with paneled walls, but SO charming!! It was a perfect space for our friends and family. The host was extremely polite, helpful and responded in a very short time to answer any questions. We enjoyed the week there with a very short walk to the beach! Can’t wait to return…

Recommend- great location

We enjoyed our trip a lot. cocos cottage was in a good location and an easy walk to the beach and Target. It’s centrally located in the area and a quick drive to lots of restaurants, stores and activities. The house was good, easy to check in and good communication with Don. It is a little older home but is in a quiet neighborhood and has everything that you would need. We would stay there again and definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a great beach vacation house!

Lots of great song recommendations!

The first thing my husband noticed were the cute post its randomly placed with song recommendations! The house is super close to the beach and was very cute! We had our 2 doodles and they absolutely loved the closed in porch to be on neighborhood watch the entire trip. The owner was very friendly and check in was super easy!
