Corolla Light to Hatteras Light Beach Hike

This was the perfect place to stage our hike. House was well suited and a decent price. Very convenient to the beach. If you have a larger group (we had 3) the one bath can get inconvenient. But overall, I would highly recommend.

A Little Piece of Paradise

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at Mo's Cottage. The cottage was clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. There was plenty of empty counter space, shelving, hooks and hangers for our food, clothing, etc... The cottage was walking distance to a beautiful section of beach. There were beach chairs, toys, bikes, beach cart, gas grill, charcoal grill, etc... available for our use. Our favorite part of this cottage was the wonderful screened in porch and huge deck! That is where we spent most of our time when we weren't at the beach. Check in and check out were very easy and the owners were quick to answer any questions that we had. We are able to go to the Outer Banks by ourselves about every two or three years. We will definitely try to stay at Mo's Cottage again. There is something very special about staying at an original Outer Banks box cottage that has been passed down and enjoyed by the same family for years!

MO’s beach cottage-perfection!

My husband and I stayed at MO’s for the first time last week and it was perfect for us! The cottage was very cute, very clean and very well stocked with anything we needed. We really enjoyed the screened porch….so lovely! And it was just a short walk to the beach access which was a cute little path over the dunes to the amazing beach and ocean! We loved every minute of our stay and would definitely come back again!

Wonderful as always!

Mo's Cottage was cute and clean and perfect, just as it has been the past few years we've stayed there! The owner kept in touch with us throughout the tropical storm that hit while we were staying in OBX and we really appreciated it. Our son loved the scooter and beach trucks that were at the house. We hope to come back next year!

Good Location, Dirty House, Stressful Hosting

We were asked to do quite a bit of cleaning at checkout: wash and put away all dishes, sweep all floors, etc. but were still charged additional cleaning fees. Several hundred dollars in cleaning fees is unacceptable when we arrived to a dirty cabin and were asked to clean upon departure as well. Dishes were dirty, floors were covered in sand and hair, beds were unmade upon check in. Hosts messaged me almost everyday of our stay reminding me of their cleaning and checkout policies (six messages in five days). We were also charged additional fees for a service animal (illegal under US and NC law). Only one burner on the grill works.

About the host

Hosted by Tony and Jamie

Our Grandparents, Mo and Laurie, fulfilled their dream of building a family beach cottage on Hatteras Island in 1972. They enjoyed many years of fishing, exploring empty beaches, and bird watching with their two daughters and grandchildren. Our family treasures Mo’s Cottage with many fun filled beach memories. Mo’s Cottage was an Island favorite for visitors, many families returning year after year. We would like to once again invite visitors to enjoy “Mo’s” as we do.
