Secluded backyard with wonderful pool

We loved Tres Aguas! The house was set back from the street and the backyard felt very private. The heated pool was our favorite. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was labeled so cooking was a breeze! There were so many convenient features, from nightlights and sound machines in every room to throw blankets in the living room and an array of beach supplies and pool floats! The walk to the beach was absolutely doable and the drive into Duck was quick. We can't wait to come back!

Fabulous Stay

This property has it all - well stocked with all cooking, cleaning, bedding, beach and pool needs. The location is super close to the beach and the home comes with beach chairs, cabanas or umbrella, and beach toys. After several hours on the beach the pool worked out incredibly well for three kids under 12. There is also a grill and seating in the backyard to enjoy an evening bbq or coffee by the pool. Our stay was wonderful - there was nothing to improve upon. Plenty of space for four adults and three kids, everything was clean and the wifi/tv app options all worked well. Having fewer stairs was also a bonus for aging parents in their late 70's.

Why they chose this property

Since 2002, our family has been coming in and off-season to the Outer Banks. For a few years, we decided to travel to other places during the summer. But our kids always asked to go back to the Outer Banks because, in their words, it felt like "home."

We purchased the cottage in December 2020 because we fell in love with the location and its accessibility for people of all ages. While we are not natives, we are familiar with the area and can help our guests with tips and advice. Whether you have questions about booking or the about specific features of the cottage, we are ready to help so you can have a memorable vacation.

What makes this property unique

Tres Aguas OBX is one of the few homes in Southern Shores with one-level living. It is a perfect place to vacation for anyone with mobility or knee issues because guests can avoid using stairs while staying at the cottage.
