About this property

4 Bedroom 2 Bath beach retreat, quiet beaches of Southern Shores. Pets invited.

Rustic, updated beach house surrounded by live oaks. If you want modern perfection, this might not be the place for you. If you want a smaller 4 bedroom, 2 bath home with many amenities and within walking distance to the beautiful beaches of Southern Shores on the Outer Banks, this is the place. You'll have a well-equipped kitchen with a gas range for cooking and all modern stainless steel appliances and a large sectional sofa in the great room with a flat screen TV, DVD player, Roku-box, and board games. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs, each with a queen bed and private deck, sharing a bathroom. The main floor has one bedroom with a king-size bed and one bedroom with two twin beds. All linens and towels are provided. There is also a ground floor laundry room with an extra fridge/freezer and multiple beach chairs and accessories. Rinse off in the outdoor shower after a day at the beach. The large, fenced-in backyard is very private and has plenty of space for your dogs and the wraparound deck is gated allowing pets and guests to roam. An ideal, quiet location to escape with shopping, restaurants, and entertainment conveniently located nearby. Active duty military, veterans, and first responders receive a discount.

This vacation rental was definitely the best equipped place we've ever stayed. We wanted for nothing...Plenty of towels, hand soap, lots of extras in the kitchen, games, loads of books, not to mention plenty of beach chairs and even a wagon to pull everything. We really had a very nice week. Great stay! Highly recommend!

The hosts were amazing and were very responsive as we had a few issues and fixed up everything that they could. The house is a bit rundown but they are aware with the issues. It didn’t matter to us and the rustic feel was cute. We had a grill to use, as well as a griddle for pancakes. There was we also an air fryer for use as well. It was close to the beach, maybe a 7 min walk and super easy. There were walking trails all over but we didn’t get to use them. The beach items that we had available at the house to us was amazing, kayaks, body boards, skim boards, goggles, games, beach buggy/cart chairs and so much more. The two Salty Dog bikes were a huge hit with all the kids. The backyard was perfect for a fire and s’mores. We would definitely highly recommend staying here.

Great little beach cottage!

We stayed here while our home was undergoing some repairs and absolutely loved this place! It was perfect for our older dog, who explored the huge fenced in backyard and got to romp daily on the great beaches! We loved being able to easily walk to the beach and the walking paths and trails throughout Chickhauk were ideal! The hosts were so accommodating to our needs and super responsive. I would recommend this property to anyone who loves a cozy beach cottage experience.

About the host

Hosted by Drew and Sarah Lloyd

Host profile image
We lived in Kitty Hawk for three years, but our favorite place to come back to vacation was the Southern Shores/Chicahauk area. We thought this house would be the perfect place to share with our family, friends, and guests.

Why they chose this property

We love Chicahauk because of the quiet neighborhoods, low traffic roads, walking paths, and less crowded beaches, all convenient to restaurants, shopping, and entertainment.

What makes this property unique

Relax and enjoy the comforts of our home. We have tried to provide you with everything needed for a relaxing vacation, including beach chairs, beach towels, boogie boards, bocce ball set, ladder ball, cooler bags, a kayak, and more. Active duty military, veterans and first responders receive a discount.
