How far is the beach?
The beach is just a few blocks away from the house so it is definitely within walking distance, however, we always recommend driving as you do have to cross one busier street. There are several free parking beach accesses within a 2 minute drive. Also, we provide 2 beach chairs, 1 cooler, and an umbrella so it is a bit easier to take everything to the beach via car!

Is There A Grill?
Unfortunately No. The Outer Banks can often times be windy and each year many people on the beach lose their homes due to grill related house fires. For this reason and safety reasons we do not have a grill at our home. :(

Do you have a tea pot?
Unfortunately No :/ But the Keurig can brew a cup of hot water for you to steep tea in!....

You will have full access to your private apartment.

Nicki and I are available by email, phone, text or the short term rental platform. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. We do our best to streamline and make communications as easy as possible to make this trip seamless for you :)

We live next to some amazing neighbors who look out for each others home. It is extremely safe and quiet here. There are only houses on one side of the street making it very quiet and relaxing vs other areas in the Outer Banks.

Car, Cab, Uber, Shuttle Tours, Walk, Bike

Loved staying here for the convenience to everything! The host was amazing and met us check in early!! 4.5 or 9.5(?) stars only due to needing to invest in some sound-proofing for the upstairs tenants. We had two different groups stay upstairs and we could hear every footstep. Would gladly book a stay with this host again!

The property was just as described in the listing and great for my daughter and me. The location was perfect for us to explore the different towns on OBX and the accommodations made us look forward to coming back at the end of each day! Any questions I had about the property were answered in the communication provided by the owner! Technology, temperature of unit, water pressure were all great and easy to navigate—things I don’t want to worry about on a vacation!

Good location. Very clean. Great host. Upstairs guests were a bit noisy since we are seniors and go to bed early. Might try a different location next time under East Coast since experience was so good.

Perfect Getaway - Highly Recommended

I had an absolutely wonderful experience staying at this property! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The home was beautifully decorated, spotless, and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, offering both privacy and convenience to local attractions. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making sure we had everything we needed. Whether it was relaxing in the cozy jacuzzi tub or enjoying the weather on the couch on the patio, this place truly felt like a home away from home. I can’t recommend it enough and will definitely be booking here again in the future!
