I'm going to talk you out of renting this house before I give you reasons to do so - Please Read negative reviews first, this is a unique 1963 cottage and location, and it's not suitable for everyone. If you have a tendency to need perfection, not read entry instructions, or want a quiet location, this is not a good fit.

It is a PET FRIENDLY HOUSE!!! No fees, no limits on number, size or weights going forward. We have combined pet and cleaning fees - if you don't bring a dog, pleaserealize we can't get every hair from under every bed between guests every time.

The SeaWitch is 62 years old this year, and there is a chance, despite monthly treatment by Professional One Pest Control, bait and sprays, that a roach might find it's way in again - we had one incident with a phobia last year I do NOT want to repeat. I don't want to ruin anyone's vacation, so please do not book if you or a family member has an issue with this possibility.

Dee takes a great deal of pride in keeping the house clean, but if food is left out, ants are also a possibility. Before knocking a star off - please let Dee know of ANY issues. She wants you to be happy.

All future guest contact is being handled by Delores Woodard (Dee) my housekeeper. Her number will be at the top of the entry information which you will receive after the rental agreement is returned.

Short Description: 1960s cottage restored and improved in 2015 with new HVAC, new TVs, new Stainless Steel Appliances including induction range, quiet dishwasher; new beds & flooring, very dog friendly (we do accept multiple dogs) with 4' high welded wire COMPLETELY fenced yard, right on beach road, close to everything, 75 yards to beach access, NOT a quiet location due to beach road traffic! Sun-Sun changeover during summer season, check in any day with 2 or 3 day minimum during the offseason.

Full Description (please read before asking questions!):

*THERE WILL BE NO OCCUPANT ON GROUND FLOOR, JUST STORAGE*

The SeaWitch is meant for those looking for a classic, slightly worn cottage with modern conveniences - central A/C, stainless appliances, Dish Network DVR system with 65 TV, and reliable DSL WiFi. There are 3 bedrooms, the Yellow room with a soft foam king bed, the Blue room queen firm foam Tempur-pedic bed, and the Green room has 2 foam mattress twins. The bathroom has a tiled shower / tub, cabinet style vanity, and lots of hooks to make sharing easy. There is also a nice large outside shower, completely rebuilt and repainted with new controls and showerhead.

The house is very dog friendly - large yard completely contained with 4' welded wire fence (generally dog proof so far, but I'm sure a determined dog could dig out) with attached to wood fencing; we have fencing around the kitchen stairs so dogs can be let into the yard without having to go outside.

The beach access is located on the Kill Devil Hills / Nags Head town line, which means the rules are different if you go left or right at access - Nags Head allows dogs on leashes year round but KDH restricts dogs on beach from Memorial Day to Labor Day between 9am and 6pm. So, you basically have to turn right at the access to go into Nags Head during the summer.

Kitchen features an Induction range, and is fully equipped for fairly involved cooking with quality cookware, dutch ovens, pots, pans, sharp knives, roast pan, etc.

50 year old milled wood T&G walls in the great room would have some great stories to tell, some you can see just by looking at the scars. LVT floor throughout the entire house. A 3 ton central A/C.

We will only rent to adults over 25 and families, with families much preferred... sorry kids, no beach weeks.

Cleaning fee includes sheets and bath towels for each bedroom (enough for 6 people) and includes as many dogs as you want - please do not abuse this, and tip Dee if you think she'll earn it.

You will need to bring your own beach towels.

When you exit the cottage driveway turn right to head towards 8th street that is an easy 1 minute walk to direct public access on the left (ocean side) and a boardwalk to the beach.

Under the porch there is plenty of space to store your fishing rods and beach accessories. There is a large outside shower as well.

Washer and dryer in utility room on ground level.

Beach Items: There are at least two chairs, coolers, a heavy duty beach umbrella like you get from the rental places, a fat tire beach cart, and some other odds and ends in the utility room.

    This was the perfect place to extend our stay for our April week in Frisco. The house is very comfortable and very clean. Our dogs loved the huge yard. We ate breakfast at Sam and Omies which was fantastic. Our dinner was at Noosa’s beach grill and I can’t say enough positive things about the fabulous food and specialty drinks! The staff was very welcoming. We bought treasures from local artists at The Artsy Octopus and we visited and bought treasures from the Shipwreck on the Causeway. This house is conveniently located to just about everything!

We definitely enjoyed the wrap around porch with covered and uncovered areas. This was a great place to have breakfast.

    Great little house! We come to the beach for the outside, so we don’t need much from a house but I do still want a decent place. This little cottage was the best old school beach box we have stayed in so far! The huge yard for my rambunctious dog was the number one selling point for me. Once we got there we realized there’s great light inside from all the big windows so it didn’t feel dark and cramped at all! The bathroom was nice and spacious, big tvs were a great plus for night time, and the mattresses were fantastic!! Overall great house and we would go back!

    This was the perfect little spot for our weekend getaway. We were drawn to this particular house for the proximity to the beach and the fenced in yard as we were traveling with our fur babies. They absolutely loved running around in the yard and we loved the peace of mind of having the fence. The inside was very spacious with 3 bedrooms and a good sized living room. The host has laminated cards with instructions and information about the area. We spent our mornings out on the porch enjoying the breeze from the ocean. There was a little mix up preventing check in due to us sending the required rental agreement to the wrong number, but once I reached out to Dee she responded within minutes and got us all taken care of super quickly. Thank you Dee!

    I can’t say enough good things! I don’t often get to vacation with my kids, but OBX has been on my bucket list for a few years. This house exceeded expectations. So clean and organized and well-stocked! Dee was immediately available and texted back with answers to any questions we had. At the end of our trip, no one wanted to leave…especially the dog who was overjoyed with her fenced-in yard and deck. We walked to the beach daily, took an excursion to southern points on OBX, saw the Wright Bros monument, ate out, ate in, picnicked, and it was all incredible from gorgeous sunrise to even more gorgeous sunset. The location is perfectly situated for any and all activities you could want to do. The only thing we needed was MORE TIME to do more things! We’ll be back for sure.

    We initially booked this house for its willingness to allow dogs. Unfortunately, about a month from our visit, our dog passed away. I explained the situation and the host was understanding and refunded our pet deposit. The location is prime for most visitors. It is a very central location with easy beach access and is close to a variety of places around town. The house was clean, we had no issues with any type of bugs or pests, the host was responsive and accommodating and it provided a lovely visit. My fiancé and I actually got married during this visit and the house brought with it a certain type of beach charm that only others of its era could. Lawn care showed up mid-week and mowed/trimmed the lawn. Pest care also showed up mid-week. The only bit of constructive feedback I could provide is this: I had left one morning to pick up Duck Donuts for breakfast. While I was away, Pest Control showed up shortly after I had left. The worker opened the door to the house and said hello which startled my wife as she knew it was not me and she was still in bed. I would suggest that if Pest Control is on a known schedule, it be made known to those renting the house so they are aware of the day/timeframe someone might be showing up. Even if someone were not home, it would be nice to have that knowledge so we could secure any items of value, etc. The price point on this rental for a week is spot on at ~$2,000. I hope the owners decide to keep the home right in that range. Will return!

    We stayed August 2023. It was perfect for us and our 3 dogs. The yard was great for our dogs; easy to let them out to run around. There was enough room for us inside to eat dinner as a family when we didnt want to go out and sit around and watch TV for when we were there. We spent the majority of our time at the beach which was only about a 5 minute walk if that. We did use the provided wagon and umbrella. It is a 2 wheel wagon with beach wheels (more like a wheel barrow) but it got through the sand very easily. It is not super fancy if that is what you are looking for, but it is not run down by any means. The owner was very easy to communicate with. The only thing I will say is that all of the reviews saying the beds were comfy must have different mattress tastes than us because we thought they were too hard.

    Myself, 3 friends, and 5 dogs had the pleasure of staying in this charming cabin within a few minutes walk from the beach. Our stay was short but enjoyable. There are plenty of restaurants and shops near by. Also a Publix, Harris Teeter and Target within a 10 minute drive. The house is fully stocked with cooking utensils and cleaning supplies. Dogs loved the spacious yard. We will 100% be booking this place again in the future.
