Cottage vacation rentals in Southern Shores

Wonderful vacation in the 4 x 4 area of Carova Beach-saw lots of wild horses and it was so much fun to drive on the beach. It was very natural and we enjoyed it very much. Very restful and relaxing-it was a bit off season-sure it’s much more active between Memorial and Labor Day-there is only a two lane road into Corolla-so allow plenty of time on season

This place was exactly what we needed to relax and enjoy Memorial Day weekend with friends! Clean, clutter free, and the hot tub was awesome for an early morning soak or late night kick back. About a 15 minute walk from the beach and located in a quiet neighborhood. Also, very short 1-minute drive to large grocery stores. The hosts were communicative and friendly. I would definitely stay here again if visiting OBX.

We would definitely come back!! Thank you

Overall a very well taken care of house. Loved the space for everyone. Easy access to shops and the beach. Overall a great place to be.

This place has it all! Nicely placed so it’s a quick 3-5 min walk to the downtown area and a quick 5 min walk to the beach. The pool and hot tub are clean and well maintained. Absolutely no worries about cleanliness. The house itself has so much and is an oasis to hang at away from the beach. We had two perfect beach days and one rainy day. Usually we’d go stir crazy on a rainy day and hunt for something to do, but the pool, hot tub and house kept us entertained. Only regret is we didn’t book a longer stay, but next time we will! Thank you for a fabulous time at Donald Duck’s Beach House.

We had an excellent stay as a group of 8 adults. The home offered great access to a semi-private beach, just a short 5-minute walk away. Kendra was proactive and clear with her instructions, making check-in and our overall experience smooth and stress-free. The neighborhood was very quiet, providing a relaxing atmosphere, yet still conveniently located with shops just a short drive away. After long days at the beach, the hot tub was a refreshing bonus. This home is perfect for both families and adult groups—highly recommended!

My friends and I absolutely loved our stay here. The patio is incredible, it goes up above the roof where you can see the ocean. The walk to the beach is short, but you do either have to use stairs or go up a steep hill to access it. That was fine for us, but could see it being a challenge for the less able bodied. The surrounding neighborhood is cute and is very quiet which we appreciated, and is nearby to a lot of great restaurants. It’s not very walkable but very quick drive to anything you need. Only negative was we thought there would be bikes but there weren’t any (as far as we could find) but that was ok, we still had a great time! We would definitely stay again.

We had such an amazing time here! She was quick to respond and the place was beautiful! The backyard was perfect for our toddler to play in and I really appreciated that there was a baby gate for upstairs. We will definitely be coming back!

Had a great stay at Maria and Steve's! Place was clean and as listed. Only tricky part was the house is across the highway from the beach access which meant having to drive and find parking or cross a very busy road.

So glad this listing was available definitely exceeded my expectations. It’s hard to find a home so accommodating to the fur babies. I was floored walking into a clean home fully stocked with all the amenities plus. It was like staying in a hotel with the feeling of being at home. Hands down the best beach stay ever totally recommend and hopefully I get that chance to visit again.

We really enjoyed staying at Chad’s place. It was very clean and comfortable and we felt like we were in a tree house with all the beautiful trees outside the windows. We loved the porches and the close proximity to restaurants and the beach. Chad was very friendly and responsive. We definitely will be staying again.

We had a wonderful stay! The description was accurate and Danielle provided everything that we needed for our trip to go easy. She communicates so well and the house is beautiful with an easy walk to the beach.

Great location, only a five minute walk to the beach and you can hear the waves while sitting on the top deck. The house had everything we needed. It was perfectly decorated and very comfortable for lounging after the day's adventures. The fenced in back yard was perfect for our family with dogs, and included a picnic table next to the grill which was perfect for seafood eating. Bikes were great and many other beach necessities for the summer months. Brian provided very detailed instructions and suggestions for restaurants and more. Great place!

We had a great stay at Kimberlys place. She was extremely awesome at communicating throughout the process. The house met and exceeded all of our expectations. Would highly recommend!

We had a great stay. The house was great and in a great location. It was an easy walk to the beach and a great location. There was a pier close and lots of things to do. I would definitely recommend it to others and hope to go back there again.

What a great stay we had for our long weekend. Everything was perfect. We always enjoy staying with OBX Sharp Stays. Looking forward to our next stay in July.

We had an excellent stay! The location was excellent and the house was private, quiet, and clean. We loved that it was walking distance to the beach.

Even with all the rain during our beach week, we had a great time at this dog-friendly cottage. The screened-in porches made catching up with family outside bug free. Nice pool, corn hole and hammock were nice to have as well. Short walk down quiet unpaved street to beautiful beach. So many restaurants & activities nearby!

This was our 2nd time at the pink cottage. We stayed here during tropical storm Debby, but still had a great vacation. Lauren was really helpful and responsive when it came to rainy day activities and emergency preparedness, should we have needed it. Since it was so close, we were able to pop down to the beach during sunny periods and easily come back if the weather shifted. We also enjoyed many activities in the area, including the aquarium and Elizabethan botanical gardens. My husband loved fishing nearby. We will definitely be back!

It was in a nice location and we didn’t go on the secret path to the beach until the last night. But it is directly a block from the beach so we didn’t have to drive. The house was in a good location Jane was very responsive and overall a great stay.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay so much. The house was exactly as expected, they were very kinda writing us a note to come into. Really shows they pay attention about who is staying in their home. It was peaceful and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend ☺️

My husband and I have rented many vacation homes and this home was exceptional. The house was furnished with antiques but it was cozy, not cold and stuffy. The home was exceptionally clean. We enjoyed the front porch and the dock very much. Bicycles were available but we preferred to walk in the quiet neighborhood. Manteo is a nice town, full of history and beautiful neighborhoods, restaurants and a short drive to the beach. I would recommend John and Kerry's home and we definitely will be back.

Great house, just a short walk from the beach! Was perfect for the five of us while we are in town for a long weekend. House was as described in the description and no surprises when we arrived! Thank you for allowing us to stay here!

We had a great weekend stay at this property! Less then a 5 min drive to downtown manteo and just under 15 to get to the beach! Will definitely look to stay here again when going back to Manteo
