Welcome to "Seas the Bay" surrounded by water and majestic live oaks! This quaint 1,000 sqft cottage offers stunning views of Kitty Hawk Bay from the house, deck, & dock. Just 5 min from the beach, local food, & nightlife. Our dock on the bay is a perfect place to enjoy sunrises on the water. This listing is for 4 guests, perfect for a family, friends, or couples. Another airbnb rental is on the same property to the left, there is shared parking, but no living spaces shared.

The space
Your stay at Seas the Bay is your own private 2 bed and 2 bath cottage. You will access the cottage by way of the stairs towards the back of the property and through the screen porch. The space is open and spacious with views of the bay all around.
You will notice a smaller cottage also on the same property. This is another airbnb rental. You can see their deck while you are outside and you also share parking with them. Their space is to the left under the cottage while yours is to the right. Please be respectful of their space, parking, and follow quiet hours of 11pm - 7am.

Guest access
Driving slowly down this private road is a MUST! Neighbors near by appreciate guests who understand that this is a private and peaceful place to stay. Kids and dogs are frequently playing nearby and on the street.
You will park under the cottage on the right side. The guests of the Airbnb next door park on the left side. Two cars is the preferred maximum for this property.

Other things to note
Beaches and Sound access:
There are scenic roads and a multi-use path (1.5 miles away) that you can walk to or access by bike to enjoy our local landscapes and wildlife. At the end of the multi-use path is a covered deck and a small beach that is on Kitty Hawk Bay. Beautiful place to watch sunsets.
Our home is a quick 5 minute drive straight across the bypass to the beach. You have access to public parking and a bathhouse! If you hang late on the beach and are thirsty and hungry there are two excellent restaurants with outdoor bars located right next to the beach access.

Gas/convenience:
Our home is just 1.8 miles from the closest convenience store and gas station.

Shopping/Groceries:
A beautiful 8 minute drive (4 miles) down a road full of woods and beautiful trees will take you to Walmart, Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Home Depot, Starbucks, Dollar Tree, and many other smaller stores including a nail salon and Chinese take out.

Booking during Hurricane Season (June 1st-Nov. 30th):
Booking a stay on our little sandbar during Hurricane season does carry the risk of your stay being effected by a storm. These storms are unpredictable and can occur most often days or maybe a week before your stay. As listed, we have a strict cancellation policy with no refund for stays cancelled within 7 days of your arrival. We do not refund your stay if you must be evacuated or choose to leave the area. We encourage guests booking during this season to purchase their own travel insurance policy through an independent company or through Airbnb if they are nervous about this and would like peace of mind about receiving some sort of refund. Some of the most beautiful times of the year on the Outer Banks are during Hurricane season, but our policies are important for you to consider when booking.

Neighborhood highlights

Our cottage is located in one the best kept secrets on the Outer Banks. Just a few minutes from Hwy 158, is a quiet and tucked away neighborhood that is family friendly with little to no traffic except for the locals who live here. Our bay views are stunning and your views expand from Kitty Hawk all the way down to Colington near the monument.
When sitting on your deck or on the dock there is a white plantation house to your left, this is where Wilbur and Orville Wright first arrived and stayed at this property while getting themselves settled for their first flights! The live oaks in the neighborhood are 300-400 years old and create a dreamy southern landscape.
Neighbors near by appreciate guests who also understand that this is a private and peaceful place to stay. Driving slowly down to our cottage is a must with kids and dogs playing nearby frequently.

Wildlife Enthusiasts:
During your stay you may see any of the following right out your front door! Bird watchers will enjoy seeing many different types of birds from Ospreys to Bald Eagles, Egrets, Blue Herons, water fowl, and many more seasonal birds. You will more than likely see a local deer family along the street that neighbors feed, and also rabbits. We have occasionally seen otters out front in the water too!
