About this property
Family & Pet Friendly Cottage -- Clean, cozy, and relaxing vibe!
Great Views! Screened-in Porch! Upper Deck! Under House Tiki Bar area! Fenced Yard! Just a short walk (350 Feet) you are at the public beach access.
Clean, cozy, charming beach made for relaxing time with families, friends or couples.
Perfect Outer Banks get away for your family to enjoy all that the beach offers. Our home is located on North Virginia Dare Trail in Kitty Hawk around the 2.5 mile marker post. You'll be able to enjoy the view from the large screened-in porch with a swing to relax or the large sundeck to catch some rays or amazing sunsets! Large deck under the house to relax out of the sun, play darts, cornhole or just hangout and enjoy a cool beverage or spend time with your dog. Mini refrigerator in laundry room.
Nice split floor plan with 2 bedrooms with Queen size beds located in the front (ocean side) which opens directly onto the screened-in porch. These two bedrooms share a hall bath. In the back of the house, there are two additional bedrooms which include another Queen size bed and Twin over Full bed with pull out Twin mattress. The 2nd bathroom is located in the hallway.
The central living area has plenty of seating for everyone to be together comfortably watching TV, playing Wii games or just hanging out. Each bedroom has its own TV with 2 with cable and two with Roku and DVD players. Free internet access. Lots of books, board games and DVD's to enjoy. Family game nights are a must!
This location offers close proximity to two fishing piers, a short drive to Corolla to see the wild horses or to Oregon Inlet for a deep sea fishing trip. Many attractions within a 30-45 minute drive such as the aquarium in Manteo, Escape Room in Southern Shores, miniature golf, Wright Brothers Museum, Zipline, Grave Diggers, water park, etc. Short distance to Art's Place for great burgers, Rundown Cafe and other restaurants. Breakfast fans - Bob's Eat and Get the H out is one of our favorites.
The cottage is dog-friendly up to two 50 lb. dogs only. Pet fee is $125. No other pets allowed.
Due to additional cleaning measures additional time may be needed to clean the property between guests depending on check-in day and when last guest checked out, etc. Check-in time is 4:00 PM. However, if our home is ready earlier you will be notified of an early no additional fee check-in. Our cleaning person will contact us to let us know when the house is ready for your stay. I will then send you a message to include the lockbox passcode. Please note, our check-out time (10:00 a.m.) is firm because our fantastic cleaning lady needs time to ready the house for our next guests.
All carpet has been replaced with LVP flooring. Comforters, pillows and blankets are provided.
Guests to provide their own towels, linens washcloths, shampoo, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. as well as other consumable items. There may be some items at the home to get you started when you first arrive.
There is a linen service close by if you choose to rent linens instead. They are located in Kitty Hawk. Here is their contact information. Moneysworth -1-800-833-5233.
Some other items that are provided include vacuums cleaners, hair dryers, x-large dog crate, medium dog crate, doggie play pen, beach chairs, tons of beach toys and a couple of beach carts.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Paul and Christine Shiflett
We have 4 grown children and 5 grandchildren ranging from age 7 to 22.
We love both the beach and the Blue Ridge mountains where we live full-time. We love country music and try to go dancing at least one night every weekend. We like to visit with family and friends and go on motorcycle rides as time permits. Paul does a little farming. He has 15 angus cows, 1 bull and a number of calves depending on time of year. I recently retired from the workforce after working for a defense contractor for the last 23 years.
We have two dogs. Bonnie is a 14 1/2 shih tzu and Ellie is a heeler/collie mix. Ellie helps to control our ground hog population.
We have been going to the OBX for more than 20 years and feel very fortunate that we were able to purchase this property in December 2019. We have been updating and putting our personal touches on the home since we purchased it.

Why they chose this property
We have been enjoying the beaches in OBX for more than 20 years. Many of those years have been in the same Kitty Hawk area. When this home became available we jumped on it without even seeing it. This location is perfect for us. Easy access to and from 158. Our cottage is located around the 2.5 mile marker on N. Virginia Dare Trail.
It is the perfect location and size for our family. It is large enough to accommodate 10 people comfortably with 4 bedrooms - 3 queen size beds and 1 twin over full bunk bed with a pull out twin bed, 2 full bathrooms and a outdoor shower, a screened porch with access directly from two front bedrooms or from side deck, upper deck for sunbathing/ocean views and patio/deck area out back where a breeze is always blowing. Perfect location right across the road from the beach and great views. Beach access is only about 350 feet away at the Bennett Road crosswalk.
Close to everything you may need including grocery stores, restaurants, family entertainment including movies, putt-putt golf, Wright Brothers Museum, Corolla Wild Mustangs, outlet stores, water parks, etc. If you are on the adventurous side, you can book deep sea fishing trips, offshore/onshore fishing and a nice boat tour to see the dolphins in Manteo.

What makes this property unique
Screened in front porch with bar height stools so you can see see the ocean, people watch or just relax under the ceiling fan. Located in a nice family area. No motels/hotels close by.
Upper deck for exceptional beach views and stunning sunsets. Easy, walking distance to public beach access (5th house from access). Under the house, there is a ground level deck which has a nice breeze with chairs, ceiling fan, tiki bar, picnic table, park-like grill, and outside shower. Fenced in backyard for relaxing on the back patio, sitting on the swing while enjoying the nice breeze. Dart board under the house and full size cornhole boards available with a spotlight on the back yard to play after dark.
(Just watch out for sandburs and/or cacti which are native to the area and difficult to control.)
We manage our property ourselves with the help of a great team of locals who we count on to clean our home and make necessary repairs that need attention before we are able to come down and take care of it ourselves. We met these two wonderful people because of an unfortunate accident the week before our first guest was to arrive. They have been a true blessing to us. If there is a problem that they can't handle, they have put us in touch with someone who can. We can't tell you have much they have helped us since 2020.
We pride ourselves on being very hands on and responsive. We want our guests to have a wonderful experience in our home so they come back year after year.
