About this property

DOGS AND DAY DREAMS! August & September dates available

LAID BACK LOCATION WITH A CASUAL VIBE.
"Coco's Cottage" is a classic OBX "beach box" with what you & your dogs need to RELAX and enjoy your time at the beach. Located near MP 6.5, between the roads. Built in 1972, much of the interior remains unchanged, including some of the decor & artifacts! 2 full baths & 2 queen beds, along with 2 twin beds. Comfortable furniture, kitschy decor, pet-friendly front porch and under-house area (picnic table, grill, ice cream maker, shower), LOTS of kitchen utensils, and tons of relaxing vibes! Games, books, Wi-Fi, TV's and the same beach & salt air as available at places costing 18 times as much!!
1 block from the Beach Road & 5th St beach access at the LIFEGUARD BEACH. 3 blocks from the Avalon Fishing Pier. Target (with Starbucks) is at the end of the street, and on the way to the beach. Belk, Food Lion, WaWa and other shopping is across the by-pass from Target - all within walking distance.
We hope you can visit and "live like a local" while enjoying all that the area has to offer. SIT! STAY !!
*** LINENS & TOWELS are NOT provided. ***

Great beach box in a good location. It's very dated and needs renovations, but a GREAT value for the price tag AND allows pets with a cheap pet fee. Bring your own toilet paper!

Thank you for your stay! I apologize for the TP issue!!!!! We had a miscommunication with the cleaning crew, and they did not stock paper for the first few guests. No help now, but there were 50 rolls in the cabinet in the bathroom. :-(. We hope you will consider us for your next stay. Don, Coco's Dad

Lovely little cottage!!

This was our first time booking an actual house for our vacation. The neighborhood is lovely and the cottage was in a great location! The cottage remimds me a lot of our family cabin so we felt right at home. The host was very prompt with all communications which made check-in and check-out a breeze! We would stay there again for future vacations!

Excellent location!

We had a fantastic stay at Kill Devil Hills. This is an excellent location just one block from the beach and across the street from Target and Starbucks. We were also walking distance from restaurants so did not have to drive at all during our stay. Beautiful beach. Very dog friendly place. Remember to bring your own linens and toiletries and it’s a great place to stay.
