About this property

Step back in time with us in our historic 3 Bedroom home located just across from the beautiful and haunted beaches of the Outer Banks. We are located right across from the beach access, no houses in front just cross the street, climb the dune and you are on the wide sandy beach.

This beautiful home is preserved in the same condition as it was built, showing the fantastic wooden floors, walls and ceilings. The Master Carpenters who built these homes constructed the entire interior (floors, walls and ceiling) with the same wood including the kitchen cabinets. Rustic, to be sure, but no worries about the sand that can follow you in and perfect for the little ones, including your 4 legged family members!

This comfortable home has Two Queen Beds with Pillow Top Mattresses, 4 Twin Beds and can comfortably sleep 8 (9 to 10 if some sleepers are little and can sleep on the couches). We have one full bathroom with a combination tub and shower.
We have high speed WiFi and a 65" Smart TV to connect to your Netflix or other Streaming Video Services. Central Heat/Air to make you comfortable throughout the year.

We have a fully stocked kitchen for all you culinary needs.

Park right outside your front door and check yourself in and out with the lockbox.

We have high speed WiFi and a 65" Smart TV to connect to your Netflix or other Streaming Video Services. Central Heat and air will provide the heat for the offseason and plenty of cooling for the summer. We have a fully stocked kitchen for all you culinary needs.

Even with a thorough modernization the property is a historical home that is now over 85 years old. It has some eccentricities that reflect building standards and designs from the turn of the last century that lends to its charm as an older beach cottage. But even so, we hope that you will love our older and charming home.

Park right outside your front door and check yourself in and out.

Good value, ideal location and comfortable

The only issue we had was with the little burrs (I guess that’s what’s their called) that kept finding their way inside the property. Very painful to step on. Other than that, we were very pleased with our stay here in Kitty Hawk.

Rustic cabin that is nearly beachfront!

This was a unique situation that lead to our booking this property. Our kid's school was delayed and we decided to pop on down to OBX for a last-minute stay. Options were slim since this was a Monday evening we were looking for a booking for the next day! But as our family continues to enjoy the beach each year, we find ourselves closer and closer to the water. This rustic property fit the bill. The property was insanely clean, and the pictures were representative of the overall condition. We were happy with the amenities and loved the proximity to the beach. Public beach access is directly across the street with no other properties on the beach front so sitting on the porch at night we could hear the waves. With the community and time of year, there were very few people walking by using the public beach access and the beach for that matter. We could not have been happier to stay here for a mid-week stay and was thankful for everything this place offered.

About the host

Hosted by Kathleen

Kathleen and I are very new to the hospitality business. We are so proud to share our little beach cottage with your family. The beach is wonderful here and I hope you will come and make lifetime memories here in our BlackBeard's Retreat.
It will be fully stocked, clean and comfortable - We will stock it with all bed linens, towels, paper towels and toilet paper - just bring your tooth brush!

Why they chose this property

This beach cottage is just across the street from the beach. The beach itself is very seldom populated with crowds. It's a great place to fish and surf or just relax and enjoy the beach and sun!

What makes this property unique

If you love the original architecture of the "Original OBX Beach Cottages" you will love our BlackBeard's Retreat. Perfectly constructed with moisture and insect resistant Birch Wood, these cottages are being lost to the large Modern Vacation Homes. This is one of the few remaining originals and we hope you will love the character and stress free living as it was intended here on the OBX.
