Description Description
Step back in time in this 60s beach cottage only four houses from the beach! This home was the first home built on the cul-de-sac and is the perfect place for a relaxing family vacation. It has all the amenities you would expect from a modern home, including central AC, streaming, a deck, and an outdoor shower for those who want to get clean before returning inside. There is also access to the beach nearby, so you can enjoy the water between your adventures inside. The living area provides guests with a comfortable spot to stream their favorite movies or series. The beautiful kitchen has all the essentials to whip up delicious homemade meals, including a dishwasher for additional assistance when it's time to clean everything up. Enjoy your meals at the four-person dining table. This is also a great place to gather when it's time to play to any of the board games available for indoor fun. Additional amenities include a private washer/dryer so you and your friends can pack less. 

Please Note: As a barrier island, Hatteras is constantly changing. Beach conditions, dunes, and access points may vary due to erosion, restoration projects, weather, and other environmental factors.

This beach house was the perfect beach cottage for our family. Close to the beach, and walking distance to coffee shops and restaurants. The house was clean upon arrival, check-in was a breeze, communication from Vacasa was great. Absolutely no complaints! We’ll be back!

This house has a great location on a beach that was practically empty (even on the 4th of July)! You zig-zag over the dune to the beach, so the walk is a bit longer than you think, but still not bad. The house is nothing to get excited about, but we spent most of our time on the beach. It was clean, and more than adequate for the little time we spent indoors. The shed in the yard has lots of “beach stuff” that our kids enjoyed (boogie boards, sand toys, etc). The street is quiet and friendly.

Great holiday rental
On arrival we found the home to be well maintained and very clean. It is an older home but it was comfortable. Furnishings were comfortable including the master bed, which is not always the case. We chose this property because of the good reviews, dog friendly, and the lower building height. Our old dog can no longer handle the high staircases that are common. Beach access is a short walk nearby. The neighborhood was quiet. The grocery store and several restaurants are nearby. I’d recommend this rental and please pick up after your pets.

My vacation in the outer banks
I enjoyed my stay, l was able to walk to the ocean, there are shops, restaurants, and museums around the beach house to go and visit. The house is in need of updating, like the furniture, the door to the main bathroom is cracked and hard to close, the door to the outside shower needs work once you open it you can't close and lock the door, the garden hose in front of the house is broken in two, the vents in the bathrooms need to be cleaned so they work better, and the house should be updated to be handicap accessible. I had an issue with the TV on Sunday, l sent a text to the management property, the next day Alex came and fixed the issue l didn't have to wait, l had a good stay, but the house is in need of updateing and repairs need to be made. is broken in twoiswas broken in two, the ve

Great place to stay with our dog. 5 min walk to the beach. The beach wasn’t crowded at all. 5 min walk to breakfast, lunch, dinner, and ice cream all next to each other. Beach chairs and umbrella in shed. Would stay there again.

Excellent April vacation. Very quiet, safe, and just a few steps to the beach. Highly recommend. Lots of space inside for 2 families. The bedroom wings, both with full baths makes privacy easy.

Adorable, Comfortable Home Away from Home
The beach is a very short walk away. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. People were friendly. My daughter and I had a really great vacation staying there. It was so relaxing and close to great fish markets, coffee houses, and grocery stores. The house is designed so that you can easily have 2 families with privacy for each because there are two sleeping wings that are far enough apart so that you can’t hear or see anything across the house. Great big kitchen that was well stocked with cooking utensils, pots, pans, storage containers, a blender, dishwasher, laundry out back, air fryer, good sharp knives, and lots of cups and glasses. Living room was very comfy. We felt very relaxed and safe. Very chill vibe to heal from life in a big city. Well worth the drive from NYC. Only 7.5 hours. Zero traffic coming home on a Saturday in early April. Same amount of driving as places in VT, NH, or Maine. Definitely recommend!

Great Getaway!!
House was very clean! All needed cooking supplies in kitchen, sheets, towels, etc! Perfect for friends and family that are there to relax, cook good food, spend time at the beach and have their pups with them. No extra frills, which was perfect for us!! We will definitely be back :)

Good time.
3 old men went fishing and had the storm that produced rough seas and not good fishing. We did enjoy the house and the location. We will see you next year!

Avon get away
It was a nice location., short drive to Avon pier. Very comfortable and homey like. Would like to have control of temperature myself because it was a little chilly in the house with A/C on. Called and they adjusted it.. I am a cold natured person😊. All on all a nice place to stay.

What a spot!
First the bad --- the company that manages the place is an Oregon company, and any issues must go through them first, so I had a few --- what turned out to be --- minor issues which went unresolved because of the difficulties in communication. There were numerous long waits, and transfers from one person to the next, when the issues in question could have been resolved within a few minutes with a local contact familiar with the property. To be fair, the company did make good on the inconveniences by waiving a few fees and some other perks, so they acknowledged some issues and tried to make things right. Those issues did get resolved eventually. As for the property itself ---- HIGHEST POSSIBLE RATING! Old school, quaint, cozy, but oh man! Perfect location! They have lots of DVDs for the children, lots of books for the adults, board games and a lot of room including a back yard. Two or three small families would be fine here. I had a friend stop by for the afternoon, with her two 4 year-olds and they wanted to stay at the house all afternoon instead of go to the beach! But Location --- the beach is a 5-minute walk. This place is virtually ocean-front without the view. 5 Miles north is a beach which I walked on in the evenings --- not a soul in sight in either direction for over an hour. Food Lion, the only one on the Outer Banks, is 2 and a half miles. Lots of good restaurants within a bike ride or 5 minute car ride. A fresh seafood market, again, right down the road. Numerous off-road beaches within a few miles, including sound side beaches. I travel a lot and stay in comfortable vacation-style settings, and I have to say this place may be the best I have stayed at. Not the lap of luxury, not the most contemporary, not for people who want to be pampered --- just the best. After I packed up, I remained at the house till the last possible moment, soaking up the comfort and peace of the environment. I nearly got emotional leaving, and when I returned home, I wanted to be back again. I look forward to returning for a longer stay. The "Beach Box" is pure heaven, a gem of a place in the perfect location for the definitive Outer Banks location.
