Cozy, quaint cottage in Kitty Hawk steps from beach!

My husband and I visited Kitty Hawk during the off-season and stayed in a current view cottage just steps from the beach. Though the weather was rainy and windy, the home provided a warm and comfortable retreat. It was beautifully decorated with a beach theme, creating a relaxing atmosphere. The kitchen was adorable, clean and well-stocked with essentials although we dined out during our brief stay. The homeowner, Kerry was attentive and responded quickly to our needs! Also, thanks for the awesome welcome package! The location was excellent—restaurants and supermarkets were nearby, although only a few restaurants were opened and the beach was right across the street. Despite the off-season weather, we enjoyed our time exploring the area, especially as we were in town to browse homes for sale. Overall, it was a delightful stay, and we’d love to return during peak season.

Fall Getaway

We recently did an extended weekend getaway over our fall break. We had an amazing time and even though it was too cool to do a lot at the ocean , it was also nice to visit without the season craziness. The house was perfect , our hosts provided a lot of great tips, we enjoyed sitting in the hot tub on the cool nights.We will check this house first any time we plan to return to kitty hawk.

Great place

This house was great, beach access is easy but there is a lot of car traffic on the road next to the house that can seem like an unsafe walk to the beach. The host provides a lot of amenities and it's very comfortable stay. The horse tours in Corolla are a must see

Relaxing Family Vacation

We had such a wonderful week at Current View Cottage! The owners were super responsive, the house was very clean, and the location was great! The beach was a short walk but was no problem at all - still close enough to run back for snacks or the bathroom. The hot tub was perfect for our week as it was on the cooler side in the mornings and evenings. We really only used the downstairs as there were just 4 of us, but there was plenty of space for more. Thanks so much for a great week!

Cute and cozy cottage for some needed downtime

Loved staying at the cottage. Location to beach was nice- just a short walk. The place was clean and had everything you would need. Loved that sheets and towels were provided. Roomy for everyone to relax. The street in front is a cut through street so it can be busy which made it hard to go walking or running due to speed of cars. There was a walking/running lane but half the time it was covered by sand so it just made it a bit difficult to enjoy walking to places. Other than that a great relaxing week. Would definitely stay again. Thank you Kerry and David!!

Another great week!

This was our 4th year at this cottage and it has continued to hold up under new ownership. The location is very convenient to the beach access just two houses down. The storage room downstairs has plenty of supplies for playing in the surf and sand; shovels, buckets, boogie boards. Just don't forget your beach towels. We discovered Tullio's Bakery in Duck this year. Their pastries were good and worth the 15-20 minute drive up route 12. We enjoyed an airboat tour out of Manteo, which was picturesque and informative. There are plenty of other fun activities right in the area. Wild horse tours, dolphin tours, kayaking tours; we have enjoyed them all! If you like lighthouses, the Currituck and Bodie lighthouse are open and within a reasonable driving distance. I'm still waiting for Hatteras to be accessible again. We like to cook and the kitchen had everything we needed for the week. There is a flat-top electric griddle in the closet of the downstairs master which we found helpful for breakfast time! The newly installed spa and deck continue to be great features of this home and allow you to enjoy the view across the dunes to the ocean. Part of my party arrived about 20 minutes before the 4:00 check-in time and the house was not fully ready; towels not yet washed, beds not made, floor not vacuumed. They were able to easily reach the property manager who came right over. He had a great personality and attitude and got everything finished in no time.

Perfect Family Vacation!

We are two families with six kids under 12, and this was our second summer in this beach house. David and Kerry bought the house after we booked, and they were hands-on, warm, and welcoming from the start. The house is perfect for a vacation with kids - lots of space for everyone to stretch out, very close to the beach, great kitchen, and, of course, the hot tub. Having the linens, beach toys, chairs, and boogie boards already at the house made packing a breeze. We had a magical week (complete with July 4 fireworks on the beach!), and we can’t wait to go back. Thank you David and Kerry!

We had a great time staying at the View Cottage! The view from the porch overlooking the dunes and ocean was phenomenal and there was great space to relax and enjoy our company. Beach access was very convenient and the property was well-stocked with beach supplies. We will be keeping tabs on the cottage for future stays!

Great Oct Getaway!!

Great beach location with fabulous deck to hang out on and see the ocean. We reached out to the host with just a couple questions and they were always very quick to respond and very nice. House was stocked as described, the beach was a short 2 min walk away, we had just about everything you could need in the kitchen. We all had a great time. Couldn’t really ask for more!
