Wonderful

Great place to stay with our little family! Its so hard to find a vacation home that also allows 2 large dogs so this place was perfect! Just off the main highway, but in a nice secluded area. Had all the amenities you could think, especially in the kitchen. The outdoor area was a perfect hang out spot for everyone! Rose checked in a few times to see if we needed anything and gave us plenty of information about things to do and places to go. Thank you so much, we enjoyed our stay!

Family fun

Our family enjoyed our stay in OBX. The house was clean with plenty of cookie supplies, nice space under the house. Lots of towels provided by Rose which was great as the house does not have a washer and dryer. Rose was very helpful and quick to make a small repair on the outdoor shower.

Fun and Relaxing!

Our family had such a special vacation here. Rose was very welcoming and accommodating! There is crosswalks to walk to the beach which worked out really well for us. Grocery close by and teens had freedom to walk to duck donuts and shopping. The place was clean and cozy…great AC for the heat! Loved under the deck and a nice quiet neighborhood. We would love to return here! Thank you Rose!

Loved it!

'The Mermaids Purse Cottage' was exactly what we needed! My 5 and 6 year old nieces were beside themselves with all the mermaid decor. The underside of the house was such a cool addition. Loved the outside shower and game closet. House was very clean. Thanks!

We stayed with my husband, 2 kids (ages 7 & 10) our dogs and myself. It was such a lovely, quaint house. We enjoyed the outdoor shower and area underneath the house very much! Loved that it was on a dead end and it offered a little more privacy. The house was perfect and everything we needed for our family vacay! Rose was very easy and accommodating! Thank you Rose!

Mermaid's Purse bday & proposal

due to length of stay, most OBX rentals required a week long stay... thankfully we came across this location that didn't. Rose was accommodating and maintained great communication with me in the week leading up to check-in. What initially was just meant to be a weekend spent with friends for my birthday turned into a proposal with my now fiancée. Everything was perfect for this to happen and would not have been possible without the cute cottage.

This place is great for staying at Kill Devil Hills. All you have to do is park. You can walk, or if you have bikes, ride to the beach, parks, the store, and dining. Everything was close in. Rose lives near by and will help with anything needed. My kids really enjoyed the outside area downstairs. It was relaxing to just sit out on the swings. Would definitely stay again.

Amazing house and host! The perfect beach getaway, there is a gate on the front porch which was so lovely as my dog could sit outside with us. There were also a few extra amenities like boogie boards, bad mitten, umbrellas and more! The host was very gracious and welcoming, I highly recommend this place and would stay again!

This property was a great value! It is walkable from both the beach and the bay. Rose was a wonderful hostess who accommodated us, brought over extra towels, and communicated well. The property has everything you might need with kitchen supplies, beach chairs, boogie boards and the like. Do note, THE PROPERTY DOES NOT HAVE LAUNDRY. You can use the coin laundry in town or plan accordingly. Overall, I would highly recommend. The property is everything you need for a thrifty stay in OBX.
