You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private efficiency close to the beach & bay! Great for couples. Dog-friendly.

Enjoy more than just the beach in this bright and airy 1 bedroom 1 bathroom efficiency with porch and fenced yard, located in a quiet, centrally located neighborhood. It's just one block from the bay/sound, and an easy walk or bike to the beach!

The interior space has queen bed, dresser, desk, flat screen smart tv with cable AND roku (with netflix, discovery app, etc), coffee maker, microwave and mini fridge. New linens, comforters and towels at the beginning of every season. The bathroom is nautically themed, with walk-in tile shower and granite countertop vanity. Walk out onto the porch for coffee or a cocktail, to hear the birds & smell the salt air. There's a small ocean peek from the porch.

The fenced yard makes it easy to bring your fur baby! Just relax and enjoy the beach or the bay, you'll be able to go see sunrises over the ocean, and sunsets over the sound.

It's a short walk to the beach, with a pedestrian-friendly stoplight crosswalk. Or, it's about a 30 second drive to one of the many public beach access, all with free parking.

The bedroom, bathroom and covered porch are private to you. There is a shared entrance area to walk through (shared with the owner) to get to the stairs that lead to the private porch and the private room/bathroom. The porch overlooks a fully fenced yard that is shared with the owner and her dogs. (I minimize the time my dogs spend in the yard while guests are there. It's usually just a few minutes in the morning and in the evening. I arrange the time I let them out to avoid contact with guest dogs.)

The neighborhood has a soundfront bike path that spans for miles along the water, which is a great place to walk, bike or jog, and this area is known for it's amazing sunsets. All you have to do is walk down the street and explore. You can even follow the path all the way to the Wright Brothers Monument. There's a breakfast place one block away, 2 coffee shops within 2 blocks and more shops and restaurants all within a short walk.

I live above the unit, so I'm happy to give recommendations for restaurants, activities, or help with anything you may need. While I do my best to be as quiet as I can, you may hear footsteps and the dogs barking from time to time.

PLEASE NOTE THE HOUSE RULES BEFORE BOOKING. There is 1 dog allowed with no pet fee. If you'd like to bring a 2nd dog, please request it, and based on age/breed/size, I might allow it. If so, there will be a pet fee.

There is only one queen bed in the room and not enough space on either side of the bed for additional sleeping space, so the max guests is limited to 2.

This property was absolutely perfect for us and our dog. The location was great and the private deck and fenced back yard were an added bonus. Our dog was very happy with that! The room was extremely clean and comfortable. Jeanne-Marie is an excellent host and was extremely pleasant and helpful with suggestions as to restaurants and things to do. Will certainly stay here again on our next visit to OBX.

Consider yourself lucky if you ever have the opportunity to enjoy a small piece of paradise. You'll never come across a more accommodating host/homeowner. Those with pets and/or children will appreciate being a short walking distance from things like mini golf or the sound side if you like calmer waters. Those like my wife will love that there is a Dunkin's just a 3 minute drive away, with several restaurants not much further. If you or any loved ones have never seen a light house, there's one less than an hour away. So consider adding it to the list of special sights to encounter during your visit. I'll personally admit the only downside to this serene location and environment is you can't stay forever.
Pups are happy we're happy.

We had a great time with our chocolate lab at this property! He was able to run around in the fenced in yard and we were so close to the beach! Our host gave us instructions on how to get to the beach and recommended a dog friendly coffee shop. Would highly recommend!

The room worked well for us and our small dog. It was much better than staying in a hotel. It was nice to be able to sit on the private deck in the evening and our dog had space to roam on the deck and in the yard.

Clean and comfortable!

We enjoyed our short stay at Jeanne-Marie’s property. We got to chat with Jeanne-Marie for a bit before heading out and she was very sweet! We appreciated the water bottles, only wish that coffee was provided for the coffee maker, but that’s not a big deal. The area is very nice and we got to check out the Wright Brothers museum which is nearby!

I loved this beautiful neighborhood, it had a lovely walking path near the sound, and quiet wallable streets within the neighborhood itself. It was so close to nice coffee shops and within minutes driving to the beach. It was the perfect size for us and my dog loved exploring and relaxing on the deck. Jeanne-Marie was easily reachable and very kind in giving us suggestions. What a quiet, peaceful stay.
