The Live Oak Cottage is a beautiful guest suite situated under sprawling live oak trees. The studio suite and main house was originally a US Coast Guard Lifesaving Station built in 1901 - and moved to its current location in the 60s. The suite has been restored to bring it up to date with modern amenities, while retaining its rustic charm. A full kitchenette, with fridge, plug in cook top, gas grill + more. Sit back and relax on your private deck or walk to the beach in just 5 minutes. Note: this is a tiny house / studio - so it is one room with a king bed, kitchenette with stool seating and a separate full bathroom.

This guest cottage is located behind the main house, but detached so you have your own deck, entry, and privacy. There is a kitchenette, full bathroom with shower, king size bed and a flat screen TV. We have a toaster, Keurig, plug in induction cook top, and all needed cooking utensils, pot and pan. There is a private deck out back for you to relax under the sprawling live oak trees with outdoor shower rinse off, gas grill + seating area.

We live in the main house and are available via text or airbnb message.

Located in Southern Shores and on a quiet street just 5 minutes from the beach.

5 minute walk to the beach, 5 minute drive to the Town of Duck or Kitty Hawk.

We do allow pets with prior approval. Pet fee is $95 per stay ( we allow only one pet). The pet fee is non negotiable, we have pets and want to keep our rentals pet friendly but even the best of pets have more wear and tear than you’d think. The property is situated on a quiet street but does back up to Duck rd. There is a privacy fence but you can hear the cars passing by. We still love the area and privacy this woodsy land provides. ***Outer Banks & Bugs - the outer banks has a variety of wildlife - and palmetto bugs / water bugs are one of them - especially after heavy rains and high humidity - we have all our rentals on monthly pest control treatment but we like to give guests a heads up as sometimes you will see them dead inside***

    The tiny house was cozy and clean and there were a lot of thoughtful little touches like recommendations to restaurants and coffeeshops. We appreciated the clever use of space and the close walk to the beach. It was a lovely getaway. A couple suggestions: 1) include instructions for the hot plate . 2) Store items outside in a shed; the property looked a little cluttered.

    We had such a wonderful stay at the cottage! John and his family were excellent hosts and thought of everything to make sure we had a comfortable, easy and relaxing stay. You can easily walk to the beach and the town of Duck is a 5 minute drive away. We slept like a baby every night with the King size Sleep Number bed and black out shades. There’s also an outdoor shower to rinse off with before entering the cottage. Highly recommend if you’re a couple looking for a quiet, relaxing weekend in Duck!

    We had a great stay at the Live Oak Cottage! The location was super convenient, and it was perfect for my son and me. The bed was very comfortable, and the space had just the right amount of amenities for our needs for our short stay! We hope to be back!

    Perfect for a long weekend get-away. Easy walk to the beach, quick drive to restaurants, feels quiet and secluded.

    This was the perfect cozy cottage for a weekend anniversary trip. Great location within walking distance to the beach and to lots of shops and restaurants. It was the perfect place to stay to be away from the noise but also within in a few minutes of everything. The only downside was we wanted to grill one night and the gas tank was rusted shut so we weren't able to grill. Overall we had a great experience.

    The cottage was very quaint. It was clean and well furnished. Although small it has what we needed Since I’m a bit disabled it was a little challenging at times but that was my choice to pick this particular place . I was a bit disappointed that we never met the owners

    Adorable cottage and wonderful stay! Would absolutely recommend for a couple looking for a relaxing place very close to the beach! We brought our pup and he loved looking at the view of the trees out of the large windows. We even had some deer visitors at the windows right when we checked in! The place is super private with a very comfortable large bed and was well equipped with everything we needed. A fantastic location in Southern Shores close to Duck and such a short walk to the beach. I especially appreciate the historic preservation aspect of this cottage and that it’s a repurposed former life saving station building. Host also responded to all communication almost immediately! 10/10 would absolutely stay here again!

    The property waa truly fantastic. The bed was incredibly comfortable and it was wonderful to have a full size fridge. We appreciated having beach chairs available for our use and loved that was such a short walk to the beach. 100% recommend staying here!!
