About this property

Weekly rental June thru August, Friday to Friday. Three night minimum stay during the rest of the year.

A charming three bedroom cottage located on top of a hill in maritime forest with privacy, comfort, and 1200 foot walking path to Roanoke Sound. Upstairs Jack and Jill bath. Relax on the deck at sunset or kayak on the shallow water of Roanoke Sound.

It is a perfect vacation rental to visit Roanoke Island and the beaches of the Outer Banks. This unique restored cottage is located at the end of a private road in a maritime forest. Cruise along the bike path (bikes furnished by owner) that runs along the corridor of Roanoke Island. Visitors can enjoy the Manteo waterfront, Island Farm, NC Aquarium, The Lost Colony, and The Elizabethan Gardens. Roanoke Island, centrally located, is on the sound west of the barrier islands of the Outer Banks. Beautiful beaches and the new aquarium on the pier are located within a 10 minute car ride to Nags Head. Explore the northern beaches to see wild horses roaming, head south to the island of Ocracoke by ferry or take trips to state park, private preserves, or national wildlife refuge.

The first floor has wood floors in the living room, dining area, fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel range, full sized refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher, and a lovely master bedroom with queen bed. A bathroom with washer and dryer is located next to the master bedroom. The second floor has two bedrooms, one queen and one with twin beds attached by a full bath. Linens are included. Two very large decks overlooking a view that reminds you of the mountains. The home accommodates six people.

Serenity Cottage

Perfect! We loved our stay. Very clean and homey feeling. Beds were very comfortable. Loved the walk to the sound. Nestled away for quietness and privacy. Location was great. Host was wonderful and very quick to communicate when I add questions. We were aware of the steps but we were determined to stay there. Definitely stay here again. However, suggestion for us, pack lighter or replace steps with a ramp to pull luggage. Ha! It was still worth staying at this charming cottage! Thank you for a wonderful memory at Roanoke Island.

Home Away From Home

Cottage on the Hill was a great place to say! The sound behind the cottage was beautiful and well worth the walk. They had chairs for us to use as well down and the house came with plenty of toilets items, cookware, etc. and the decor gave it that homey and beach feel. The owner June is very sweet and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend for any families wanting to get away from the big tourists areas!!
