What an adorable charming older cottage! Location was great in Kitty Hawk, very close to alot amenities! Great ocean views and nice porch to look at ocean. Water was rough so didnt get any chance to get in ocean due to Hurricane off coast but nice still. Few issues with cottage were lamps were all very hard to get turned on, loose parts where bulb screws in, kitchen faucet squealed whenever in use(maintenance did come to fix but continued after about 24hrs again). Windows need cleaning very badly outside, covered in salt so bad could hardly see out them. I feel that this cottage needs some personal attention as far as maintenance issues, a little bit of trash and old used towel around house and dunes area. Mattresses on beds are pretty worn out as well. Cottage sleeps 10 people in beds but has a very small bathroom on first floor, second floor guests have to come down stairs to use bathroom. There is a bathroom that is accesible from outside but its pretty primitive down there. Would be hard if all bedrooms were full with bathroom situations. Pictures make cottage look bigger than it really is. Very small dining area with big table. A little bit of a trek thru dunes to get to ocean but manageable. All in all a good stay but it was only 3 of us, if it had been more than say 5 people could be very tight!
