The cottage is just like one you would have stayed in as a kid in the 70s - highly nostalgic and cozy. The seating and beds indoors were plentiful, if not comfortable. The rocking chairs and hammock on the porch where outstanding. The weeds were doing their best to overtake the porch although the family members a few doors down were doing a great job keeping the lawn mowed and pulling back the brush.
As far as amenities - we brought our own sheets, towels, tp, tissues, wash cloths, sponges and cleaning supplies in addition to hand soap and of course shower supplies.
There is an overgrown path across from the driveway that leads to a tiny beach with some cute benches and another hammock - which looked cozy. The bugs were biting and the sea grass was accumulated on the little patch of beach so we decided to not spend time down there. Plus, the neighbor's dogs run loose and they didn't much like our dog being over there.
The neighbor was friendly and kind - and so were the dogs except for the fact that they preferred to show their dismay with our dog by pooping in our driveway every day.
Also, what a surprise to learn that the garbage pickup occurs about 330 AM!! construction starts at 7 and the recycle pick up is early as well. While it's quiet most of the day, it's just a little jarring during traditional sleeping hours.
Overall a nice place to visit on the Outer Banks.
