About this property

Oceanside-Fantastic Views, Dog Friendly, Fully Stocked Kitchen.

Enjoy one the best beaches on the East Coast. There is no place like Frisco on Hatteras Island/OBX. The Gulf Stream runs right off the coast, making the water almost 10 degrees warmer than OBX towns north of Avon. Relax to the sounds of the surf; build a bonfire on the beach; go surfing, kite sailing or scuba diving; try your hand at surf fishing or join a deep sea fishing trip. You will quickly find out why Hatteras Island beaches are frequently rated in the top 10 of USA beaches.

Cottage has one of the best views on Hatteras--without paying high oceanfront rates!!! Rooftop observation deck has awesome night sky star gazing and sunsets. The cottage has beautiful ocean and bay views and is located in the village of Frisco on Hatteras Island. Cottage is fully furnished three bedrooms (two BRs with queen beds, one BR with four twin bunk beds). There is also a separate den with doors that could be used as a 4th bedroom with a queen futon.

Cottage sleeps 8 to 10 people comfortably and has two full baths plus large outside shower. Lots of updates in the last five years, including kitchen, bathrooms, new flooring, new decking..... Kitchen has been completely remodeled with new cabinets, counters and appliances--dishwasher, stove/oven, microwave, Keurig and regular coffee maker. Also washer/dryer, wet bar with mini frig, charcoal grill, multi level decks with furniture including covered deck with gate for your dog to safely enjoy the ocean breezes. Hang your hammock from the hooks on the covered deck to enjoy an afternoon nap or read your book.

From the newly refinished roof top observation deck you can see miles of beaches and ocean and you can watch the beautiful sunsets over the sound. With Hatteras' dark sky designation, you will find some of the best star gazing. Other amenities included high speed WiFi; TVs in living room and den with cable. Cottage also has a stereo set to local channel for news and music; many board and card games; movies and books. There are ceiling fans in most rooms and central A/C throughout. We allow up to two dogs, up to 60 pounds each. NO CATS or other pets.

It is a short a thirty second walk over the beautiful dunes to the beach. Watch dolphins play in the ocean from the living room or deck. Enjoy the beautiful sunsets over the bay. Let the ocean sounds lull you to sleep. Cottage is on a quiet, dead end road. U shaped driveway holds up to four cars. Some beach chairs/toys provided in the outdoor shower. Only 5-10 minute drive to: : the Cape Hatteras lighthouse, the Canadian Hole for kite boarding/windsurfing/kayaking and the Hatteras ferry to Ocracoke. Multiple great restaurants within a short drive.

Cottage Rents SATURDAY TO SATURDAY ONLY IN PRIME SEASON. Off season dates have more flexibility. Rent direct from owner to avoid all the "extra" fees charged by the local realtors/management agents. Save yourself hundreds of dollars. NC does require collection of sales and occupancy taxes on all rentals.

The Cottage has three bedrooms: two with a queen bed to sleep 2 people each; the third has two sets of bunkbeds for a total of 4 twin beds which could sleep two adults on bottom beds and two children on top or four children using all four bunks. On the top floor is a separate den with door that has a queen futon, so that could be use as an extra bedroom for up to two people.

All beds have pillows and light blankets. Extra pillows and blankets are in bedroom closets. Guests are responsible for bed linens (sheets/pillowcases), towels and any paper goods.

Amazing

We had such a great week at the Norwegian Wood. Beach house is a short walk to the beach and we enjoyed hours at the beach. Home was well equipped (bring sheets and towels) and had everything we needed. Great week with our teens at the beach. They loved that they could run over and boogie board and we enjoyed being able to have beach fires. Great location,great home!

Great property 3 houses to the beach entrance. Wonderful rooftop deck to watch the waves and the sunset. Kitchen is well stocked with spices, pots and pans. Great blender for frozen drinks. New kitchen with plenty of space- the pictures on website have not been updated. Loved the outdoor shower and hose to wash off the sand before entering the house. Hope to return!

Lovey home

The house was very clean & we were very happy there. As with all homes on Hatteras island there were lots of steps. We had 4 older guests with us so the stairs were rough at times, but they managed. The inside stairs are vinyl & this was very rough on my older dog & we had to carry her. They're were 9 adults that fit comfortably & plenty of indoor & outdoor space to spread our. Overall lived the home.

Lovely House

The house was very clean. Kitchen is well-stocked. Plenty of space for up to 8 people. This was our first time staying at OBX and we thoroughly enjoyed the house and the island. Owner was easy to communicate with prior to and during the stay. We had zero issues during the stay.

Wonderful stay :D

We instantly felt at home. The view was amazing as well as the new renovated kitchen. The only suggestion would be the cleanliness; the floor and carpet had dog hair and sand. We also cleaned the doorknobs and the wipes came out brown. Otherwise, everything was great!

The Frisco area

I have stayed all over the Outer Banks and decided to visit the Frisco area. It was quiet and very quaint. The local shopping and restaurants were just as I expected. We wanted less crowded beaches and faster check-out lines, and that's exactly what we got! I missed going to Ocracoke by ferry as it was rainy and a little cool most of the week, but was by no means disappointed with my stay.

Wonderful July 4th Stay!

We had a wonderful stay over the holiday week. The house has great views of the ocean from multiple floors, and a 360 degree view from a crow's nest. It is such an easy walk to a wonderful beach, and at night you can see millions of ghost crabs on the beach! The outdoor shower is great, and the AC worked well to keep it cool at night. The stairs could be challenging for elder guests, but that's true of many of these properties. We misread the instructions and forgot to bring sheets or towels, which we then had to go and buy our first night, so definitely remember to bring those.

Relaxing Vacation

My husband and I brought our dog with us on vacation this year, and this house was PERFECT for us! The house had plenty of relaxing places to just chill and hang out (inside and out). We really enjoyed the top observation deck (views of the sunrises and sunsets are spectacular), and also brought our hammock along to enjoy naps on the 1st level wrap around deck. The very close walk to the beach made it easy to walk our dog while viewing the beautiful sunrises. The house itself was very inviting and was an excellent space to relax and unwind. The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials, and we felt right at home. We also utilized the beach chairs and umbrella that were on the property. We highly recommend this property, and will definitely stay again.

Can't wait to go back!!

Even better than expected. Great location on a street ending at a dune with path to ocean. Top and front decks with beautiful views of beach, gorgeous sunrises, relax and hear the ocean. Top deck, view the sunset over the sound side. Lower deck, escape the heat of the day, but still relax and hear the ocean. Kitchen has updated appliances and we'll stocked cookware, dinnerware, etc. Location is close enough to some great restaurants. I can't say enough. The owner was very easy responsive with communication. Hated to leave. Can't wait to go back!!

We loved this house!!

When we originally looked at the pictures of this house we thought it looked a bit dated but the pictures do not do this house justice. It has a very beachy cottagey feel to it. It is very close to the beach and very well stocked with everything that you could need. The outdoor shower was perfect for when we came in from the beach. We brought a hammock with us and hung it on the porch. It was a great place to relax. We also loved the rooftop deck. We made sure to go up there every night to watch the sunset. The owner is very quick to communicate and to answer any questions. As an FYI If you have anybody with you that has mobility issues getting on to the beach might be difficult for them. The pathway over the dunes is very steep and the sand is soft which makes it hard to maneuver. I would definitely recommend staying here and look forward to when we can visit again!

Couldn't ask for more!

The property owner was extremely kind and easy to work with. The home was clean and spacious for our group of 9. It included more than we expected! We hosted our Thanksgiving there and they had all the cookware/dishes necessary. It felt so cozy, like home. The views from the balconies were amazing! It was so awesome to walk out and be just steps from the beach. The hose downstairs came in handy, we didn't use the outdoor shower, but I'm sure it's great in the summer. Good amount of nearby stores and restaurants. We enjoyed many local food spots. Dinkys, Tavern on 12, Duck donuts, Bros, Kats deli, Frisco sandwiches and Stu's biscuits at Avon pier. Our favorite beach spot was the at the lighthouse. Great for surfing and fishing. We had kids ranging from age 1-9 and one dog. Everyone was sad to leave! Heading back to Florida and already thinking about our next trip. 5 stars all around!

Thanksgiving Break

My family and I visited for Thanksgiving break. While the weather was a little cool and rainy, the house was exactly perfect for our family. Amazing views, especially from the top deck. Very easy walk to the beach and the house is surrounded by trees and vegetation, which affords a little bit of privacy while hanging out in the yard, etc. Very easy process and good communication. Loved it!

Serenity at the Beach

My wife and I and our two close friends spent Thanksgiving together at this property. We lounged in the spacious living room; we sipped wine and watched the sunsets; we walked along the empty beach; and of course we cooked our Thanksgiving dinner in the very well-equipped kitchen. This property was everything it advertised, and everything we hoped for.

Frisco, NC oceanview

Large, very comfortable home with superb ocean view from living room, den, eating area and decks. Great place to work remotely and/or vacation. Great place to watch deer passing by or stargazing at night. Listening to the waves was incredibly relaxing. Kitchen well stocked with pots, pans and utensils. We ate most of the time here by preparing our own meals. Relaxed on the beach due to great weather and the home being in very close proximity to it. Beds are very comfortable for napping and sleeping. The home is in a quiet neighborhood yet close to restaurants and shopping. Would love to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Vigdis Austad

Host profile image
We grew up going to the Jersey shore as a child and then did group rentals at the "shore" after college. My husband is a surfer and always talked about Hatteras. After we married, he took me down to visit. I Immediately fell in love with the pristine beaches and the "no Jersey rules, restrictions or crowds". No beach badges needed, dogs welcome, no trying to find parking (and paying for that too), plus the ability to eat/drink on the beach, have bonfires.....Great freedoms in such a beautiful place in the middle of National Park Land. One rainy day, while he was out surfing, I called a realtor and went to look at houses just to kill some time. This was the third one that I saw and I made an offer on the spot. He came back from surfing and I told him the "news". Both of my kids are now surfers and love the beach. We named it Norwegian Wood because Norway is my heritage, the house is made of wood and, of course, we love the Beatles! We try hard to keep the house updated. In last five years we have put in new decking and siding, completely new kitchen, new bath vanities, new bar counter, new flooring and currently working on new ceilings. This winter we will replace many of the ceiling fans.

Why they chose this property

It was in great shape, clean and had the most incredible views, without paying oceanfront prices. The quick walk over the dune to beach and back home makes it easy with kids. Most of the neighboring houses are owned by long time owners and everyone looks out for each other.

What makes this property unique

The views are the best. It is technically the third lot back from ocean, but currently there are several empty oceanfront lots. So with the way the house is facing, there is no one blocking the view. And, of course, having the wave sounds to lull you to sleep, whether at night or on the hammock, is the absolute best!
