You will adore this peaceful retreat that is close to the Outer Banks but without the tourist crowds!

This 1945 cottage was completely gutted and renovated recently. Every effort was made to retain original materials - including the heart pine floors - while incorporating eco-friendly and sustainable elements. Careful attention to décor was made to ensure that your stay will be relaxing and serene.

Start your day with the stunning sunrise over the Currituck Sound that is easily seen from the living room with picture window.

Fix your breakfast in the fully outfitted chef's kitchen with bar that seats 4, then take it to the front porch!

Your lunch can be eaten in the dining room that seats 4 or on the back patio. Later, you can fix dinner on the charcoal grill or make s'mores at the fire pit!

You will sleep like royalty in the two bedrooms with amazingly comfortable queen-sized beds. The gorgeous pictures in each room were taken by a local photographer. A third bedroom upstairs has 2 twin beds.

The sofa folds out to a queen-sized bed for extra guests. The living room is also equipped with a Smart TV offering cable channels and the option to stream with the cottage Netflix channel via the hi-speed internet.

The shed in back yard houses 2 adult sized kayaks with seats and holes for fishing rods, plus two child sized kayaks. Life jackets, a boogie board, beach toys, corn hole boards, a beach umbrella, an inflatable boat, and swim rings complete the amenities offered.

The private dock is only 2 years old and is ideal for fishing, crabbing, paddle boarding or kayaking, but the water is shallow so NO DIVING, please!

The Currituck Sound is known for its freshwater catches, including largemouth bass, catfish, sunfish and crabs. Currituck Sports just before the little Coinjock bridge sells freshwater fishing licenses. A public boat launch is just a few miles away, so bring your jet-ski!

After spending your day outdoors on the beach, or visiting the local shops and restaurants, you will be delighted to return to this quiet cottage where the star-gazing is unparalleled.
