Cottage vacation rentals in Cape Hatteras

We loved this place! Great vibe, clean, came with two bikes that we enjoyed riding to the sound and back (as well as Front Porch Coffee). The hot tub was amazing and relaxing. Notable that the bathroom downstairs has its own entrance that is not connected to the bedroom down there. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. Would stay at this house again and highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a cute little oasis that is very centrally located.

Another fantastic Spring Break at the Best Box! The nicest, cleanest, most relaxing rental we’ve ever found. Didn’t think the property could be any better than it was last year, but the owners have managed to make many creative and thoughtful upgrades. Enjoyed days at the beach, days on the sound, chartered a boat for fishing, ate tons of seafood, and saw the best sunsets right from the deck. Literally took advantage of everything in this house - from crabbing to fishing to baggo to flying kites to playing board games to darts and foosball. Oh and kayaking, relaxing in the hammock, and tubing, too.

We love staying at Donald’s Duck! This was our second stay and we think this place is just so cute and cozy. Our favorite place is the beautifully lit pool area. It’s a short walk to the beach. The indoor space is beautiful and clean. Mark is a very responsive and helpful host! We love the proximity to the shops and restaurants.

Kendra and the Seahorse Shanty are truly better than described. Kendra is phenomenal, incredibly quick to respond and more than kind. The location is just a couple of minutes walk from the beach and the grocery store, pairing that with how clean and well appointed the cottage is - it’s more than an exceptional find! If possible, I’d give a 10/5!!

The place was very nice and tidy. We enjoyed our night here and would definitely return. Everything that we needed was there and we couldn’t have asked for a better place.

We had such an amazing time here! She was quick to respond and the place was beautiful! The backyard was perfect for our toddler to play in and I really appreciated that there was a baby gate for upstairs. We will definitely be coming back!

Really enjoyed our stay! Beautiful and comfortable home. Great location, near several restaurants, pier, and shopping. Appreciated that it was dog friendly!

Amy and her wonderful beachside cottage was such a delight for our first trip to the OBX with our pups! From the moment we checked in we felt so welcome, and the cottage with Amy’s personal touches was incredibly comfortable, FULLY stocked with cute dog bowls and CLEAN. Sometimes when traveling with dogs, you stumble upon a truly diamond in the rough place, and this is a diamond. The fenced in area and front deck is secure, the beach is a very short walk and you can hear the waves. It was peaceful and a home away from home for the week. Thank you for a great stay, all the local recommendations, and simply being a joy.

This was our second stay at the Flat Top and we will definitely be returning. Dustin was a great host again. The house was in immaculate shape. The big yard for the pups is a huge bonus especially being so close to the beach. Dustin is always very responsive. It feels like a home away from home. Thanks so much for having us again. ♥️

My family enjoyed the space. It was exactly what we were looking for. It was very clean and gave us a great place to rest or escape the sun. The host had beach chairs and toys in the garage which was a nice surprise. Also between communications over the app and the house book we never had to worry about local recommendations. It was a slam dunk for us!

Beautiful home and just steps to the beach. We would rebook in a heartbeat! Brittany was very responsive and her home policies were fair and simple.

As a family group of 7 people with 5 adults and 2 children we loved how spacious Second Wind was - allowing for together time and private time. I love the H-shaped floor plan: large open concept space in the center flanked by 2 bedrooms and a bath to each side - plus the bonus of a larger bedroom on each side). There were also areas to spread out and have a bit of “space” for smaller endeavors. While we didn’t have time for it I appreciated that the backyard would be great to use the badminton game I brought. It was close to the beach, the beds were comfortable, nice cookware in the kitchen, thoughtful details (provided coffee, charcoal, throw blankets, plenty of dishes and cutlery, a laundry room with a drying rack, the opportunity to bring our dog ). Our host Jane was very responsive and accommodating. Everyone said at some point, and some multiple times, how much we liked it and would definitely like to come back!

This place was perfect for our group! Mark was great with communication and always quick to respond! Loved that they had all the beach supplies youd need, made our vacation so much less stressful because we didnt have to worry about a thing there. Beach is so close too!

Place was perfect for our family and dog. Beach, restaurants, and ice cream in walking distance. Clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, clean, and just a short walk to the beach. It was perfect for our family, plenty of space and great for the kids. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a blast. The house is definitely worth the price. A very quick walk to the beach. The outdoor area is very nice. Loved the screened in porch. The outdoor shower was a plus. The house was spacious for 6 guest and doggo. The beds in the room with two single beds were a little hard but would be just fine for kids. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

This place was great. It was just a 2 minute walk to the private beach access which was never super full. The BNB was big enough for my whole family and my dog! Washer and dryers are always nice to have when staying away from home! It was a quiet neighborhood, but stay off the lady next door’s grass. There were a few restaurants to walk to and stores, not to mention a neat little tackle shop with iced coffee!! Our car actually broke down while staying here, so the walkable things were very convenient. She even let us check in 5 hours early because I got check in time wrong. I would love to stay again!

We enjoyed our stay so much! The space was clean, organized and felt right at home. It’s small and was perfect for My husband and I. The mini fridge had a fantastic freezer so we always had ice for our beach cooler. We loved how it was close to everything we needed while staying on the beach road. Britt and Nicole were quick to respond when we had a small issue with the wifi and had it fixed in less than 12 hours..In a nutshell we loved our stay and i plan on booking next year!

Scooters place is very unique, a peaceful setting and very private, virtually one of a kind. You’re going to love it. It’s warm in the daytime but delightful in the evening and early morning. You’ll hear the sounds of chirping birds and frogs. This is one you don’t wanna miss. There’s just something magical about all those antique surfboards in the loft above you. we are definitely headed back again.

Janelle allowed us to check in early which was wonderful. The location is central to all restaurants and activities with great beach access across the street. The house was beautifully updated and decorated. It was also very clean and uncluttered, which is what I look for when booking. The master bed was super comfortable. Plenty of hot water for everyone. The porch was relaxing to sit out on day and night. I would definitely consider coming back again!

Christine was great to work with. This was our fourth year renting this place and we love it! The place ir perfect and even has a boat dock for keeping the boat! We'll be back!

Mark was simply the best host. He is so responsive and helpful. We loved the location of the house. The neighborhood is absolutely amazing. Beaches are not crowded at all. House was just like the pictures. I would recommend this spot over most of the other Airbnb’s in the area!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful beach home! The space was spotless upon arrival—truly one of the cleanest and most well-maintained vacation rentals we've ever experienced. Every detail was thoughtfully considered making it feel like a true home away from home. Our host was exceptional—organized, responsive, and clearly takes great pride in both the property and the guest experience. You can tell this home is lovingly cared for, and it made our time by the ocean even more relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-appointed beach getaway. We hope to return soon!

This home was quiet and cozy. It was exactly what I was looking for as far as my visit. The beach was close & wasn’t a busy area. Justin was also a great host.
