Always an amazing stay at Hip Nautical!

This was our third stay at Hip Nautical. Perfect location, the owners are very thoughtful and do a lot of extras to make your stay wonderful. Our pups loved it too! Dog friendly, spacious and absolutely stunning views! They have a great deck on the oceanfront. We love it!

Great Getaway

Awesome beach front house and perfect place to relax. Convenient to stores / restaurants / sights. Hosts are helpful and available for any questions should needs arise and have thought of all the "little things" inside. Can see many upgrades have been done to the property already and sounds like more are planned, should make this very nice place even nicer!

Perfect for private beach vaca. Even in the off season, it was exactly what i wanted. Quiet, but close enough to everything. House is very nice, clean, and owners were easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend this beach oasis!

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.

Dolphins, pelicans and beautiful weather.

We saw so very many dolphins this trip along with a lot of pelicans. Watching them from the huge deck with the magnificent views was amazing. Weather was great, sunny and warm. 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.

Amazing location!

HipNautical is a wonderful find! Sitting on the deck you feel as though you are right on the beach! The house was very inviting with a lot of little touches that arent provided in other houses - a sweet welcome gift, kitchen supplies, toilet paper, kleenex, and even flashlights for the beach at night! The streaming services were also a welcomed surprise and tvs in all the bedrooms was really nice. Vicki was very communicative throughout the duration of our stay. I would definitely stay here again.

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.

No matter the weather, the view never disappoints

My 2nd year and 4th visit to Hip Nautical. Even with some rain, wind, as well as beautiful sunny days, the ocean view from the deck, screened-in porch and sitting area inside was always amazing. Well stocked house and also free Netflix makes for great movie watching on rainy days. Quick response always from owner with any questions. Counting days already to my September trip. Thank you Vickie and Don for sharing your home with others and for the very nice gift.

It’s like coming home

This was our second visit and it was every bit as wonderful as the first time. Unfortunately there were no dolphin sightings but that was the only disappointment and was nothing to do with the home. Due to outside temperatures we had to fuss with the thermostat quite a bit, Vickie was fantastic with responding to our inquiries.

Wonderful relaxing vacation!

HipNautical is a wonderful property that is very well appointed with everything we needed. Vicki is a great host and quickly responded to any questions. There is nothing like staying right on the beach and waking to the sound of the waves. Although the weather during our stay was not what we had hoped, we still had a very relaxing visit. Thank you Vicki!!

Paradise!

We had another amazing stay at Hip Nautical in Kitty Hawk. The cottage is in a very convenient spot and right on the beach. It has a nice large deck and a covered and screened in porch with new furniture. The cottage is well maintained and the owners are wonderful to work with. They do a lot of extra things to make the cottage special. This was our third time there and definitely not our last!

Outdoor fun and spectacular views

This place has amazing outdoor space! We went during December, but I kept wishing it was summer or fall so I can just hang out either in the screened porch, back porch, or under the house to enjoy the beautiful ocean views. The house is cozy with lots of thoughtful amenities, and the owner is kind and attentive. Very glad we came.

Perfect holiday getaway

HipNautical was the perfect place to spend the week between Christmas and New Years! We wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle and disconnect for a few days. Vickie and Don's place was so comfortable and had everything we needed to relax and enjoy a much needed break. Our elderly doggo was so happy to spend the days on the deck overlooking the beach. And man, the views are so beautiful! We can't recommend this place enough.

OBX Hip Nautical

We had a wonderful stay. Access to the property was seamless. Property was as described. The Host, Vickie was very prompt in responding to us regarding an issue. Issue was resolved. The beach access was awesome. Truly the best part of this stay was the deck & screened porch. We all spent many hours enjoying the sound of the ocean , watching the sunrises, dolphins and pelican "platoons". We had a most enjoyable time. Our family ranged in age from 18 to 88. Accommodations were satisfactory to all. Thank you gift was a lovely and most welcomed surprise. Amenities were great/beach towels/linens/kitchen ware etc. Thank you Vickie!

About the host

Hosted by Vickie Berry

Host profile image
My husband, Don and I love to visit the ocean with our adult children and grandchildren, so we decided to try a VRBO home to share with others. We have two sons, five grandsons and three granddaughters. They age from 15 to 6 months. Don't forget our "daughter", Lily, our Yellow Lab! Special memories are made at the ocean, whether it is total relaxation at the oceanfront house, or exploring the surrounding areas. We hope it is the same for you.

Why they chose this property

Close proximity to the heart of Kitty Hawk which offers many restaurants and bars. Grocery shopping is less than 5 miles away as well as discounts stores.

What makes this property unique

The best part is the amazing, HipNautical VIEW! Enjoy your coffee in the morning or a relaxing drink in the evening on the new deck with phenomenal views. Eight tall dolphin watching chairs to enhance your view! Part of the deck is shaded by 1100, for those who don't want the direct sun. The south facing screen porch also has a snack area for enjoying the view. There is a sitting area under the house with sand toys for children to play during the rain or just to get out of the sun for a while. Also under the house is a shower complete with hot water and a dog rinse station.
