Featured on HGTV! This seaside cottage features 3 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms. It is only 1 lot away from the ocean with ocean views from the kitchen, living room, and deck. There is easy beach access that is only a few steps (65 feet) away! This cottage is less than a half mile from the Pamlico Sound, which is a world class destination for kite boarding, wind surfing, and fishing. Upon arrival you will find a complimentary welcome package including 1 Roll of Paper Towels, 2 Rolls of Toilet Paper,1 Bottle of Dish Soap,1 Bottle of Laundry Detergent, 1 Bottle of Hand Soap, 2 Dishwasher Pods, and 1 Sponge in a reusable tote Bag to help you get settled. Only bed linens are provided. Bath towels are available for rental.
This cottage also features 4 flat-screen TV's, roku soundbar 2021, high-speed internet, wheeleez beach cart, and a 44 jet hot tub. Enjoy coffee (commercial keurig and brewed),or cocktails on the swing inside the screened-in porch overlooking the waves.
This beach side cottage has a recently remodeled kitchen which features new quartz counter tops and stainless steel appliances. There are 2 newly renovated bathrooms which have granite vanities and glass vessel sinks. Bluetooth shower head in min bathroom. Of the three bedrooms, two have queen beds and the third bedroom has 2 twin beds. Beds have memory foam toppers and 100% cotton high-quality John Robshaw designer hand dyed, hand sewn bedding .

We encourage you to view our other rental VRBO 2014620 for a very similar cottage that is located just steps away. Based on availability, these two cottages would provide the perfect solution for those traveling in larger groups so that everyone can have their own space yet still be together. The cottages are perfect for young families with a no traffic beach access.
This area of the Outer Banks has several well equipped tackle shops and great restaurants. During the summer months the beaches have multiple sea turtle nesting sites and incredible shelling opportunities. It is a short beach walk to Rodanthe pier.
You can take a drive south to Buxton to see and tour the Hatteras Island light house or take the free ferry to Ocracoke island, the HQ for the famous pirate Blackbeard. If you travel north there are also interesting things to visit like the Jockey's Ridge State Park and of course, the Wright Brothers Museum. Footprints is dog friendly, and there is a $150.00 pet fee per dog. * We do not rent on Craigslist.

Perfect Ocean View Getaway
Wonderful location! Can see and hear the ocean while relaxing on the front deck and screened in porch. Had everything we needed for a week long vacation. Very quiet and peaceful location. Would definitely stay again! The Outer Banks are a wonderful area to visit for history, relaxation, fun, fishing, kite boarding, pictures, etc. Thank you to the wonderful owners for their hospitality.

Loved this cottage 😍🏠🏖️🏄‍♀️🐠🌊🌞
There is nothing I would change about this cottage. It was perfect 😍 location with a very short walk to the beach 🏖️.The beach was clean and not crowded at all. Great for fishing 🎣 , swimming or just plain relaxing 😎 & soaking up the ocean 🌊 views ☀️. 🤫 Quiet neighborhood with all the houses nicely maintained. The cottage is right next to a KOA campground ⛺️ but that never was a issue sound wise. The decor in the cottage had the best beachy vibes throughout it. The beds are so comfortable and cozy. The 2 bathrooms were perfect size. They really utilized all the sq footage here. You won’t feel cramped at all with 6 adults here. The hot tub was delightful especially at nite sitting underneath the stars ⭐️. Loved the view from on the upper deck. And the screened in porch was bonus area. The kitchen was superb with all the essentials and then some. You honestly don’t need to bring anything with you for cooking wise it’s all there. The Rodanthe fishing pier was a quick 5 minute drive up the road. And the fishing there was hopping 🔥 🐠. Along with all the local restaurants,shopping,tackle stores,food markets & bars we rarely had to venture out of town. It was a short drive to Hatteras for the lighthouse and horseback riding @ Equine Adventures. We also enjoyed a Charter fishing trip too. Thank you again and we definitely will be booking this again next year. Thank you ☺️ for being the perfect host!!!

Beach House
It’s not on the beach but it may as well be. If you are reading this you already know where it is - but it’s a lot quieter than we expected. Clean for a rental, decently maintained, relatively recently updated, has enough cups and plates and overall is good value. Would go back.

Nice Property and Stay
The house is pretty, well-appointed, and well decorated. The space is clean and modern. More lights under the house would brighten it in the evenings, but it is nice and is usable as-is. The beach was slightly crowded, which is unsurprising given the proximity of campgrounds. Evenings on the porch were fantastic, with a nice cool breeze and perfect temperatures. Easy access to the beach, convenient location, would recommend.

What makes this property unique

This wonderful cottage is situated in the perfect place. Wonderful ocean views from the kitchen and living room, and sound views from the bedrooms. Pelicans fly overhead the front deck, and you can spot dolphins from the hot tub. Footprints is a wonderful destination for healing, rejuvenation, and relaxation. It is situated only 65 feet from beach access with miles of unspoiled beaches with naturalized dunes welcoming you to explore.
