It's a short 2-minute walk down private path in front of the house over the dune to the beach. Versatile cottage for those who want to disconnect and relax (with a lot of options to entertain yourself and the kiddos), but also has upstairs work space with 24'' monitor for those who need to plug in while others are relaxing, exploring, or enjoying the beach.

This was the first house built on the street in 1965. It's a classic A-frame updated with modern amenities but also very much retaining it's classic charm, including the original Hotpoint Kitchenette brought from Ohio! Comfy, cozy, and interesting design.  A rare gem of a beach house in the OBX.

    We had a wonderful stay at Bubba’s Cottage. The place is so cozy and Sara has thought of a thousand lovely little touches throughout that make it a truly charming place to stay.

    True beach cottage experience. The kitchen was well organized and offered everything you might need. Bubba’s was clean with loads of charming extras. A highlight for us was the amazing outdoor shower!

    Great Family Vacation to OBX. Family of three with an 11 yr old stayed a week in July and could not asked for a better first trip to the Outer Banks. The cottage was very cozy and plenty of room for the three of us. Has everything you need to relax for a dinner in or close to surrounding that are not tourist. Great location and a short walk up the dunes to the beach where you can be in your own on the beach. Overall Great Stay!!

    We DIDN’T want to leave!!!! My family had an amazing time. We explored the beaches, we enjoyed the area, grilled outside, walked the beach at night…it was exactly the peacefulness we needed. We plan on making this a definite ‘go to’ for our family vacations! The owners were very communicative and extremely accommodating. Simply a great time!!

    The perfect secluded place for relaxation but still an easy drive to the activities and restaurants on the island. The decor is super cute, it had everything we needed and was unbelievably quiet. The beach was just a short walk over the dune and there were hardly any other people. The beach chairs were greatly appreciated. We had a fun playing the video games at night and listening to old albums in the evenings. Sara was super responsive and helpful to our questions. This was the most relaxing trip we have experienced in many years!

    We had a wonderful time at Sara & Barrett beautiful beach house. It was really unique, quirky & retro all in one! You felt like you were waking up in a tree house in the top bedroom! We drove around the Outer Banks as far as Kitty Hawks to the North & Buxton to the South, and Salvo was genuinely the nicest part with such a beautiful beach. We couldn’t believe how uncrowded it was in August!! Sara was so helpful and gave lots of recommendations. ? we had takeout from Boardwok & Lisa’s Pizeria & ate out at Good Winds and a bit further north at Kills Devil Grill (which is so worth the drive!) after horse riding in Nags Head. Thank you again for having us, we had the best time and just wish we had stayed longer! ?

    Bubba’s cottage is unique and adorable. We had a wonderful stay. The hosts were great with communication and the house is meticulously outfitted with everything you need to cook, relax with family and head to the beach. The location is great- just a two minute walk over the dunes to the beach. We especially loved the outdoor shower and full size laundry available to use. We would def recommend staying here!

    We stayed here for a few days and absolutely loved our time here! The beach was just a few minutes walk away and it was a great spot and not overly crowded. The house itself was so charming, clean and had everything we needed. It was the perfect space to land in after exploring the area. We are already looking forward to coming back!

    Excellent stay. The home was very clean and enjoyable to stay in. It was relaxing during the rain storm. The location was amazing. A nice short walk to the beach through the dunes. I loved being that close to the beach. The outdoor shower was used and appreciated! Our teenager loved the hammock. I want to stay here again!

    Bubbas Cottage was just as advertised. Very cozy, quiet, safe neighborhood and the cottage cleanliness was top notch. The access to the beach was amazing and we were so thankful for all the beach accessories at the cottage! Would definitely recommend and come back to this location and cottage!
