- "We loved this house last year! We loved it again this year! And we plan to love it again next year!" - "This house was perfect for us. It was located in walking distance to the beach and restaurants. The communication with the host was on point. The house was, on the surface, clean but the decor pillows on the bed were stained as were the sheets. The coffee pot was filthy and the inside of the drawers were in need of a good cleaning. Loved the patio. We spent most of our time out there. Would def stay again."

Food options are plenty, two groceries stores within walking distance. The actual location is on a side road that helps give some privacy and minimal traffic noise.

Would definitely stay here again :)" - "This was our first time traveling to the OBX and we absolutely loved it. This is the perfect little get away. The house is decorated so nicely and it is very clean. The kitchen is stocked with everything you may need. Communication with Cindi is perfectly easy and she made herself available if there was anything we needed. Check in/out was also simple. We loved the location and how close it was to the beach. The outside area at the house was great with the hammock and hot tub and it was fenced in. We loved it. It was a little oasis on its own. You need to pack your own sheets (there is 1 queen and 2 double beds)...and towels. Other than that bring yourself. The only thing that was tricky with two teenagers is the bedrooms are connected and you need to go through one to get to the other. We just put the sleeper in the back room and it worked out fine! Thanks again Cindi for a wonderful stay!! Would not hesitate to book this vacation home!!"

We got to fish from the dock and even spotted a dolphin during a sunset. The owners were very responsive to our questions - we highly suggest Colington Pizza if you want a quick and delicious spot that's close for dinner. 10/10 would recommend this home! Can't wait to return!" - "We jus had a terrific vacation at the location. We had a minor issue with the grass needing to be cut, but our host quickly responded. The harbor view was peaceful and quiet. Good spot for swimming and crabbing. Great accommodations for four family members. We made great use of the gril and screened in porch.

We would return!" - "Wonderful beach house in a great location. Short walk to the beach, arcade and restaurants. It was perfect for our family of 12. We are already making plans to come back next year!" - "GREAT LOCATION " - "The house is as depicted, the location is “less than a quarter mile to the beach. The beach is beautiful and was not too busy (first week of August). The house was not as clean as we expected. We were surprised that we needed to put sheets on all the beds when we arrived after a day of travel. We found evidence of prior renters (chips under chairs, cigarette under a bed. The outdoor shower was mildewed so we didn’t use it, the outdoor hose wasn’t working either. There were enough plates for 40 people, but only 6 spoons. The coffee maker was filthy and needed a deep cleaning before we could use it. The TV in the living room is positioned awkwardly for anyone to watch. The house wasn’t terrible, it just wasn’t great, and the fixes are fairly simple. There are not beach chairs at the house so be prepared to pack, buy, or rent. We bought and packed chairs from Costco that cost less than a rental would have and half as much as purchasing locally. It would be nice if they were provided (previous beach rentals have included chairs, so again I was surprised by the lack). All in all, the house was okay, but not as nice as we expected. We have rented in many states over the past few years, so we think we have reasonable expectations for the price point we choose."

Very relaxing stay!" - "This is our 2nd time renting Diggin’ it. Very clean and had all the amenities we needed. We had a great week of full sun and awesome memories.

Thank you!" - "My family had a wonderfully warm and breezy stay at this adorable beach house. It was the perfect mix of old and new with all the the conveniences of a home on the beach. We had access to supplies for cooking at the house, four bikes, and basic items needed for a day at the beach with a cart! The availability of these items made our stay that much more enjoyable because we didn't have to worry about securing or bringing these supplies from home. Communication with the owner was easy, as was check in and out. Thank you to our hosts for a relaxing stay. You made our first trip to the OBX easy, leaving a lasting impression that will make it easy to return to the area again in the future!"

- "This home was perfect in every way! From being stocked with dishes, glassware, pots, pans, many utensils and Kitchen Appliances. The beach access was across the street. Beach chairs and a wagon were also available. My boys loved the outdoor shower and their “private deck” on their floor. Board games and cornhole were a hit! Lots to walk to! You can’t go wrong with this place! Will be back, thanks!" - "Great location across from public beach access and we loved the ease of going to the restaurant next door. It's really well stocked in the kitchen and even had some chairs and a wagon we could use on the beach! Would absolutely stay again."

Chill with your coffee in the morning on the screened in porch or cocktails on the deck for sunset. Central to all the attractions, shopping and restaurants the Outer Banks has to offer!

We would highly recommend and would stay again." - "Great communication with owner, clean & newly renovated home. The kitchen was stocked with cooking pots, utensils, etc. We did have to ask for paper towels, trash bags & toliet paper, owner was very prompt in dropping off. Very close to the beach!" - "We found the house to be conveniently located close to the beach and stores we needed to access as we prepared a few of our dinners at home. It was cozy and quiet not being on the main strip which made enjoyable to sit outside in the deck at night. Our biggest complaint is the mattresses. The bedroom on the front of the house felt like the springs were completely shot when you laid on them. Would highly recommend they replace those so the guests can get a good night sleep after the long days in the sun"

Amazing location and cozy cottage two blocks from the beach. The Outer Banks is a wonderful place to visit all year long for relaxing, dining, world class water sports, touring, or just a nice place to unwind with family or friends on the beach, porch or great restaurants.
- "This house is truly one of a kind. We have been vacationing in the Outer Banks for 10 years from up north and this is our favorite cottage experience The host was friendly and accommodating, answering our questions timely. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the beach with tons of fun things to do nearby. The Wright Bros Memorial, mini golf, skatepark, restaurants, art galleries, .The beach access is short block away and our favorite beach store. The Stop N Shop has plenty of everything that you forgot to bring to the beach, as well as killer wraps and an impressivel beer selection. The are lots of great choices for restaurants within 10 minutes, but I recommend JK's steakhouse and seafood at Ocean Boulevard. Breakfast and bloody marys at Jolly Rogers was a value and we met some cool locals. Surf lessons and fishing guide recommendations were made available to us from the host. The kids enjoyed getting ice cream at the Dairy Queen a half block away. The house is unique, charming and clean with everything we needed. The architecture and geometric 12 sides fascinated my kids. We had a great time playing board games and there were some interesting local books on hand. The outdoor shower was super convenient for rinsing the kids off after the beach. We grilled out and had a surf & turf meal on the huge front deck on our final night. It was a great family vacation and will be back again soon."

It's very close to a user-friendly beach access ( a short 2 block walk) , #2. its located between the by-pass and the beach road which provides a quiet safe street for kids and walking animals, small talk with neighbors, and biking or walking. #3.

We thought about 4 stars for "Accuracy of the listing" but that is only because there is much more included than we expected. The kitchen is pretty much fully equipped including numerous small appliances that were not listed and there were four bikes and 6 beach chairs included, which would have been nice to know. Overall, its a great place with lots of extras beyond what the listing promised."

We are very excited to share our most favorite place on the planet with you. Cottages on the sound offer a unique experience to the Outer Banks, especially ours since it's right on the water. You can swim, fish, crab, kayak, canoe, paddle board, jet ski, boat, and more right off your very own dock for the week-- all while being a short 15 minute drive to the hustle and bustle of Kill Devil Hills. Being tucked away on the island is such a sweet, serene escape from the everyday.
