About this property

Seaside cottage- semi oceanfront - dog friendly

Pelican Reef is a 3 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath, semi oceanfront cottage located at the end of a cul de sac in the village of Waves. Beach access is across the street- literally steps away. This cottage is newly listed on VRBO, and has been renovated in 2020 featuring all new stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, 65 inch smart TV, wifi, full size water and dryer, and a new deck. New flooring 2024.Enjoy fabulous ocean views, and sunsets over the sound. There is an outdoor shower and ample parking underneath the house. The three bedrooms consist of two queen beds and one bedroom with two twin beds. All bedrooms have memory foam mattress toppers and flat screen Roku TVs. Only bed linens are provided. Bath towels are available for rental. There is a screened in porch with additional seating and a porch swing. Underneath the house features a hammock, charcoal grill, outdoor shower, several beach chairs, umbrellas, awesome beach cart, corn hole, and tiki toss. The kitchen is very well equipped with all the amenities you will need to enjoy your stay including a vitamix blender, steam pot, air fryer, keurig and traditional coffee makers, and barware. The jellyfish table can glow in the dark if you shine a flashlight on them for just a few minutes. This cottage is less than half a mile from Pamlico Sound which is a world class destination for kiteboarding, windsurfing, and fishing. Upon arrival you will find a complimentary welcome package including one roll of paper towels, 2 rolls of toilet paper, one bottle of dish soap, hand soap, and laundry detergent, 2 dishwasher pods, and a kitchen sponge in a reusable tote to help you get settled. This area of the Outer banks has unique restaurants, shopping, and a variety of things to do for people of all ages. The Rodanthe pier is a half mile to the north. We encourage you to view our other rental VRBO 707603 to read reviews on a very similar cottage that is located just steps away. Based on availability, these two cottages would provide the perfect solution for those traveling in larger groups so that everyone can have their own space yet still be together. The cottages are perfect for young families with a no traffic beach access. We are very responsive to all inquiries and are happy to answer any questions. Hope to hear from you soon. Pelican Reef is dog friendly, and there is a $150.00 pet fee per dog. Thank you for considering Pelican Reef for your next vacation! * We do not rent on Craigslist.

Pelican Reef = 10/10!

This property was BEAUTIFUL. A quant beach cottage located very close to the beach. It was perfect for our family and our four-legged companions! The home was accurately advertised, and the home was pristine when we arrived. Whoever cleans the property following each rental deserves a raise! Looking forward to renting this property for future visits to Hatteras Island!

Hi, we had a nice time. Just an FYI, the bathtub was not draining so we got ZEP for septic systems and used that to open it. You may wish to have it checked out. Thank you for the lovely welcome gift. It was very thoughtful of you to remember us. Carolyn

We would definitely stay here again! Owners were great to work with and the views of the sunrises and sunsets were incredible. You couldn't ask for any easier access to the beach, we loved it!

Pelican Reef is a beautiful place to stay, directly across a dead end street from the beach. The deck was amazing to sit on and listen to the ocean waves. The house was so cute and just the right size. We would definitely return again.

Perfect OBX week

Loved this property. Great week with my son for our annual beach getaway — and our pampered pooch was very happy to chase balls and birds at the shore for a week. Couldn’t ask for a better location. Thanks for a great stay.

Nice family vacation

We were excited about the location of the house right next to the ocean and it was indeed wonderful. We could walk to and fro in our swimwear multiple times throughout the day. The outside shower with hot water and hose were very convenient. The patio was our favorite place in the morning (you can see some ocean, lusten to the waves, and watch the sunrise right there!) and in the evening (when the sun was on the other side and it was shady and breezy). We found the beds very comfortable and the house cozy and clean. Although the kitchen was missing some items, it was well equipped and we managed without (we’ve shared the list with the owners). Overall, we enjoyed our time and would recommend the place to friends.

One house back from the beach and beach access nearly straight ahead of the house (1 min). Nicely newly renovated property and really love the pelican theme. Outside seating was very nice to enjoy the sea breeze. Would definitely come back again.

Our stay was great. We were able to find this house after we had a change in plans. The house was clean, well furnished, appliances were top quality. It was the perfect house for us and our dog. Easy access to the beach. Many thanks to the hosts James and Donna for working with us. We would definitely stay there again!!
