Cozy Fishing Cottage w/ water access, minutes from Hatteras National Seashore

Very clean. Very comfortable. Very well stocked. Great outdoor spaces with lovely view. Great character in decor. Owner manages the property rather than using property management company. Very responsive. Very accommodating.

We love the house and location. Can’t wait to come back again!

Perfect classic vacation cottage, thoughtfully set up, and well equipped kitchen.

Property is in a nice quiet neighborhood and the location on a canal is amazing. The kitchen has everything you need to cook or bake anything. The host is very responsive and the check in was easy and efficient.

Wonderful! Kitchen well equipped, clean and welcoming house, great exterior dining porch, very dog friendly

My family stayed in the Freckled Dog for a few days and can't compliment this location enough. The house was exceptionally clean and well-stocked. The screened in porched overlooking the canal was beautiful, and the room sizes were perfect. In addition, communication with the host was very timely and she answered any questions we had. We will be back!

Everything about this place is so cute! My family and i walked in and fell in love with this cottage. We will definitely book this one again!

This beach house/cottage was the perfect home away from home. It's only minutes away from Avon Pier and lots of Seafood Restaurants nearby. Also, it has access to water for sporting activities like kayaking and paddle boarding. Additionally, the property owner, Michelle, was always very responsive to all my questions. Would definitely stay again in the future.

Loved the house. Very well stocked! We have a 4x4 so the location was great. Not far from the 4x4 beach. Communication was great. No problems while staying here. Lovely decorations!!

It was our Vacation and it was the perfect place to stay

Our family of 5 enjoyed this home so much. There was plenty of room and the beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed the outdoor areas of the house. It was a quick drive to the beach and close to many stores and restaurants. The house was stocked with all of the necessities. We just had to go to the store for food and drinks. We will definitely be back here. Highly recommend!

This property is wonderful for a family that wants a quiet vacation with access to beaches and amenities in Avon/Buxton/Hatteras Island area. The house is in a quiet residential area, but close enough to Rte 12. All the amenities were as described and we ended making use of most of them. Check in process was painless and the host was quick with answers for the few issues we encountered. Would definitely stay again if available!

We enjoyed our stay at the Freckled Dog so much! There were so many cute touches with the place like making your own ornament, to games, to a bunch of welcome items upon arrival. The cottage was clean, and everything looked exactly like it did in the pictures. Michelle was a great host and so easy to connect with! I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful property and home!! Very welcoming! Clean, comfortable and cozy. Nice, quiet neighborhood, but still close to everything. Michelle was always responsive and very helpful. Would definitely stay here again!
