Nice little spot

Easy to access, with easy access to the beaches. We stayed here easily with 5 young kids, and had no problems hauling them (and all their stuff) to the beach and back with no issues. We are glad this was available!

I would not recommend this property

There was broken and stained furniture, stained mattresses, and the garbage cans in the kitchen and bathrooms had not been emptied. There are cracks in the floor where it joins the cabinet area near the sink. The entire property seems to be original, back to the 1970s at minimum. The distance to the beach may be technically accurate, but there is a Telco Central Office next door that renders the beach vibe null. Although not the fault of the owner, there is a property across the street that has a dog that, if somehow loose, may be dangerous.

October vacation

Overall the propery was as described. However, the bathroom outlets did not work and the washing maching did not operate as intended. It would not change cycles and took forever to fill. Otherwise everything was fine and we enjoyed our stay.

Cute Little Beach House

We were in town for a car event. We usually just do a day trip but decided to stay for the weekend. The house was perfect for the family, with plenty of room for everyone. It was in the perfect spot, just a short walk to the beach. The host left us snacks which was very nice. Would definitely come back again.

Brought my kids and parents, and everyone had a good time. The house is exactly as it looks in pics. Cozy, but everything you need. Close and easy walk to the beach, for both an 8 and 72 year old. Just a 2-3min drive to grocery and retail stores. Great house for a great price!

About the host

Hosted by Captain's Cabin OBX

Host profile image
We enjoy the sand and the surf, visiting and climbing lighthouses, and trying local cuisine in our travels. We've always wanted a beach house on the island where we could get away from the hustle and bustle of the city to relax with our dogs. Dog friendly accommodations are sometimes difficult to find, so our beach getaway was the solution for us. Along the way we decided to share it with others so that they can experience a piece of the magic that is the heart of the Outer Banks and not have to leave their best friend at home. The Outer Banks is great food, great people, and Southern hospitality in a rustic beach setting - but it's so much more.

Why they chose this property

We love this property for the convenience of a location very close to the beach access while still close to restaurants and activities, and without sacrificing the serenity of a quiet residential neighborhood that really feels like a beach retreat. The location is just 3-4 minute walk to the sand, and the same distance from the front gate of the Wright Brothers Memorial.

The layout of the home is open and free-flowing so the living room, dining room, kitchen, and breakfast bar are open to one another as one large space for relaxing and enjoying time off the beach. The two full bathrooms provide one option directly off the main living area, and the second is more private and quietly nestled between the more private king bedroom and the queen bedroom with its own exit and stairs down to the yard, perfect for when you want to arrive or depart without disturbing others. The small landing at the top of the exit steps faces north so gets sun all day long and makes a nice perch to spy local birds.

What makes this property unique

Walkable to the beach without the hustle and bustle!

The home is in a residential neighborhood with easy access to the beach (560 ft!) at Asheville Beach Access and a 5 min. walk to the Wright Brothers Memorial for exploring it's offerings or watching beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

Quieter, residential neighborhood that is close to everything: mini golf, movies, shopping, grocery stores, and local eateries with an ample, secluded back yard (unfenced) for relaxing as well as an east facing deck for coffee and sunrise or evening relaxation with a glass of wine. Or, you can relax in the bonus shaded seating area below the house.

Most of our neighbors are full time residents and our street is generally quiet.
