HipNautical Oceanfront

RENOVATION COMPLETE!! RIGHT ON THE BEACH! Unobstructed views for miles. Walk out the back door, off the deck then immediately you are on the sand! Stunning ocean view from the cozy indoor sitting area. Very private with no neighbors to the south and blocked view of the north houses yet walking distance to popular hot spot eateries. Large 50-inch TV in family room and TVs in all three bedrooms. Rokus with active Hulu and Netflix on all four! Two queen bedrooms and the third with two Duo bunks. Two baths, one with tub/shower combination, the other full-size walk-in shower with seat and pull-down sprayer. Linens included at no additional cost. Kitchen well equipped. All new cabinets, granite and appliances. New large capacity washer and dryer. Non-Smoking home. Unfortunately, since two incidents a month after renovation, we are NO LONGER a pet vacation rental.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

This was our second stay at HipNautical and the place is even better than it was on our first visit in 2023. The house is right on the beach and offers beautiful views, especially in the morning when the sun comes up. Everything was tidy and in good order when we arrived. The kitchen and baths were updated since our last stay and very nice! We didn't cook, but the kitchen had everything you'd need for making a meal. Bedrooms are cozy, living and dining area perfect for a big group w/kids (or just 2 adults who like to spread out!). Vickie was available by text if we had a questions, always friendly and quick to reply.We stayed in the week leading up to Christmas and all of the local restaurants, grocery stores, etc. were open all week. Terrific time to visit with all of the fantastic Christmas decorations and festive drinks on offer everywhere we ate. Some of more touristy summer attractions were closed (ex. mini golf) but the Wright Bros natl park was open.The beach was pretty quiet except for the occasional brave winter surfer and the shell collecting was great! We're already planning our next winter getaway and look forward forward to staying at HipNautical again.

Great stay! Easy-to-find property in a great location- just off the main road. Check in and out process was super easy. Multiple beds but the one we used was very comfortable. Host was very very communicative and very helpful. Property was clean. Could use a little updating but honestly not even close to a big deal. Perfect view of the sunrise and so amazing being right on the beach. Would definitely stay here again!

The home was just as portrayed and Vickie was great about keeping me updated on check-in. Unfortunately, we travelled in during a bad storm and only stayed 1 night. We were unable to enjoy the outdoor areas but as a frequent beach vacationer, I could tell that they would have been amazing had the weather been more amenable. Vickie was very understanding of the situation and was a great host. I would highly recommend a stay at this property.

Awesome ocean views from huge back deck right next to the dunes. Easy beach access from the house and new renovations….brand new kitchen, 2 new bathrooms and 1 new big picture window to watch the ocean from the inside when raining. Screened in side porch a plus also. Have been going here for 4 years now. So nice to see improvements every time! Thank you Don and Vickie for sharing your wonderful beach house. Hope to see it again next year.

Don & Vickie’s home was peaceful, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing beach vacation. The walk to the beach was easy, and the dune wasn’t too steep—great for families. We enjoyed nearby attractions like the aquarium and had some amazing meals at local restaurants. The deck is awesome and the view is amazing! The host was friendly and quick to respond if we had questions, which made the experience even better. It was the perfect mix of fun and relaxation. We’d definitely stay here again - especially if we decide to travel with our pups later!

Just what we needed

Amazing deck; location is unbeatable… walk over (around) the dunes and into the beach! The deck is just awesome with such expansive views. Sunrise every morning while sipping coffee and taking our dogs to play on the beach was the greatest way to start our days! Outdoor shower is fantastic with actually a hot and cold line… and a hose line… so cleaning up coming off the beach is so easy and helped keep the sand off the dogs. A/C unit is a little older and had some trouble keeping up mid day with direct sun; but got comfortable again by the night with all the fans on.

The perfect week at the beach! The house was clean and had everything we needed for our week at the beach. Our sons loved playing with the toys in the bunk room when they weren't playing in the ocean and sand (also loved the boogie boards and sand toys the house also provided!). Kitchen was well stocked for any cooking needs but the house is also located within minutes of so many great restaurants if you're not up for cooking. It was our first time going in June due to the school calendar and it wasn't crowded at all. Highly recommend.

Very disappointed

We booked this cottage for a family wedding. I checked the reviews and it was 10.0/10. Not so. The location is definitely a 10, but the place is tired. ( Rubber stoppers in tubs, faucet handle broken off in main bathroom, living room sofas scratched, no icemaker, tired decorative pillows, kitchen linoleum cracked. All that we could have overlooked had we had consistent hot water. When I contacted the owner, they stated they had been there the week before and with intermittent showers they were able to get warm, not hot, water. They had scheduled a plumber to come AFTER our visit so as to not disturb us. We did not have hot water to shower or wash dishes. I had to heat up water on the stove to wash dishes. The dishwasher did not work, but they said that was due to having the child lock on. I tried several times to hold and unlock, but it did not work. I am hard-pressed to give this cottage more than a 6.0 the bed and mattresses were good. Not having basic amenities like hot water is really a drawback. We checked out two days early and they are going to be refunding us for those two days. She stated that when her housekeeper went in that there was warm water in the kitchen and that the dishwasher worked. There was no hot water when we needed it. It messed up our dinner plans, etc.. I was really saddened by the attitude taken by the owner. No one should have to stay anywhere where they can’t count on having hot water. They knew something was wrong with the water heater.

Free Netflix is always a plus. Great restaurants, bagels and a bakery all within a few miles of Hip Nautical keeps cooking at a minimum. We hope to get back again next year.

Relaxation from the second we put the code in.

The property is WONDERFUL!!! Litterally 20' from the beach and in an amazing location in Kill Devil Hills. The welcome gift will bring back memories for years. We had an issue with food pickup / delivery timing and Vicki was so helpful and returned our communication almost immediately offering a quick solution that saved our first day. The house wa so clean and perfect for our needs. It reminded me of the beach house i would go to with my family when I was a kid which was a great trip down memory lane. Only issue we had was when lightning struck the beach immediately behind the house which knocked out the wifi for the duration of our stay but that turned out to be very fortuitous as it gave us a solid reason for not communicating with work and checking emails which is truly what a vacation should be. When that happened we informed Vickie and she worked dilligently to try to find solutions but we told her not to worry as it actually helped us unplug and just sit and watch to waves, engage each other verbally (I know, we actually talked...lol) and enjoy the beach and if we really needed to get on line we would just use our hotspots from our phones. I would truly recommend this home for a vacation and definitely any property that Vickie is involed with. Thanks for everything Vickie and remember, reach out when / if you plan a trip to Boston.
