About this property

Pet friendly beach cottage – 5 minute walk to beach access!

Launch your vacation with this updated beach box in the heart of OBX! The SandPyle is located on Duck Road in Southern Shores and is a 5-minute walk to the closest beach access. Parking on the immediate streets and area of the beach accesses is limited to those with parking permits and guests of the surrounding properties so the beach will not be crowded!

With it being centrally located, guests will be able to bike (a bike/walking path runs all the way through Southern Shores & Duck) or drive to their favorite restaurants in both Duck and Southern Shores to include Red Sky, Blue Point, Aqua, Ducks Cottage Coffee, Southern Shores Pizza, Vilai Thai Kitchen, Barrier Island Bagels, Steamers, Coastal Cravings, Coastal Cantina, Duck Donuts and Donutz on a Stick. Need to snag some groceries? Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, Publix, and local, fresh seafood markets are nearby. There is also a neighborhood park and playground just a few blocks away.

Popular local attractions include: Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Jockey's Ridge State Park, Wright Brother's Memorial, Currituck Lighthouse, Pine Island Audubon Sanctuary & The Lost Colony Outdoor drama. There are also multiple water sports rental businesses within a 10-15 minute drive with jet skis, kayaks, boats, and other fun water toys. A NEW brewery, Swells'a Brewing, opened Summer 2021 & is a 15 minute drive from the house; it perfectly accommodates both adults and kids!

The SandPyle has 3 bedrooms (two with queens, one with 2 twins), 2 full baths, a covered front & back porch with Adirondack chairs, and a fully covered downstairs for space to play games, hang out with an outdoor shower! The large driveway has parking for four to five vehicles (depending on size) and is long enough for just about any boat and trailer. You will enjoy all the comforts of home and then some, including high-speed internet, ample seating in living and dining rooms, central AC/heat, ceiling fans, washer and dryer, full kitchen with dishwasher and microwave, full pot/K-Cup combo coffee maker. You will not miss your favorite TV shows or sporting events while on vacation - the SandPyle has a smart TV in the living room with access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, You Tube, and you can also cast shows from your smartphone.

To keep our rates low, we do not provide linens but if you cannot bring yours, we will be happy to provide a list of nearby businesses that rent linens and other vacation needs (beach chairs, baby needs, etc.) by the week.

We have the following extra items for your enjoyment around the cottage and at the beach: 5-burner gas grill with propane provided, the Can Jam game to pass the time while grilling, an outdoor table and 5 chairs on ground floor, 2 beach cruiser bikes, 6 beach chairs, and sand toys.

*** Dog lovers are welcome!!! Up to two dogs allowed but must be kennel (crate) kept if left home alone. One large and one medium kennel provided - if you bring two large dogs you will need to bring a 2nd large kennel. Also NEW this year a fully fenced area for your dogs!

Awesome location!

We had a great stay, and so did our dogs! Great indoor and outdoor space and easy walk to the beach. Really enjoyed our stay and will be coming back to stay in this area. The beach was great and not crowded at all!

Amazing place!

This is our second time staying at SandPyle. We love the location! It’s super close to the beach (walking distance) and a nice bike ride to tons of shops and restaurants. The hosts are great to work with and we can’t wait to book our next trip! Thank you!

Great Pet Friendly Vacation Home

The SandPyle was extremely clean and had everything we needed to enjoy a week away with our family. The enclosed pet area was very nice to have for our dog. The house was well-equipped and had plenty of room for our family of 6 to enjoy. And the walking path gave us easy access to the beach. We all agreed that we would love to stay there again!

Just perfect

We planned to bring our dogs but it didn’t work out but it would have been perfect for them too. Beach access was a block away. The house had everything we needed. Duck is just 5 minutes away with great restaurants. We would book this home again.

Duck Getaway

This home was perfect for a much needed family vacation! It had all the modern conveniences, was very clean and perhaps best of all - the beds were extremely comfortable!! Duck is 2 miles away and the bike path runs directly in front of the house. You can jump on one of the beach cruisers provided by the owners and be to the Treehouse Cafe (highly recommend) in 15 minutes for an amazing latte :-)

Easter Weekend Lighthouse Trip

House is very clean and has updated kitchen that is ready to cook in. Nice layout. Enjoyed the bicycles very much on our 10 mile ride. Under the house has a nice hang out area with grill, tv and sofa area. House is easy to find right on Hwy 12 and very convenient to day tripping to see light houses (We saw Hatteras, Currituck and Bodie Island). We tried to see Ocracoke but the ferry service was not running due to blockage. Owners were great to work with and we would stay here again. Some items of note: Home is right on Hwy 12 that is busy and noisy at times. Not in a neighborhood but has sidewalk out front. Master bath shower is small (3x3) Master bed squeaks a lot when moving.

OBX Holiday

Did you ever want to just get away and take your pets with you? Well we found an oasis at the beach! This property was well appointed, clean, good location and the host made it feel like we were right at home. There were games, bikes, cable/internet, and everything you needed to prepare dinner and desserts. Check in was smooth, the owner responsive and the property super cute. Family comfort for pets & people!!

Relaxing stay

Great stay and proximity to the beach! Just be careful if you have dogs, there are these prickly plants along the walking route (not by or the property) that can get stuck in the paws. Steven was very prompt at providing information. The kitchen was well appointed. Great experience overall.

Wonderful Get away!

Our family wanted to have a place to relax, rest and renew. The Sand Pyle was just the ticket. We had a lovely time with pups on the beach, games at night and shared memories. It was fantastic to have the beach wagon, chairs and bikes for use as needed. The house was perfect for our family!

Comfortable and great location!

We had a great stay at the SandPyle. Just two adults and our dog, but the house would be very comfortable for a family with kids. Although located on a well traveled road to the front of the house, the inside of the house and backyard especially felt very private which was wonderful. Perfect location for us - truly a 5 minute walk to the beach (even saw several deer on the path one morning!), and was a great base camp for us to explore areas both to the north and south. Would absolutely recommend!

As advertised — had an excellent stay!

We stayed for over a week and it was perfect for my husband and I and our toddler. The place was stocked much better than most rentals I’ve had, and even had toys and books for the toddler. It’s an easy walk to a gorgeous beach, and not far from all of the restaurants and shops in Duck. We would definitely stay again.

Great stay with everything we needed

The place was clean and located close to the beach. The house had everything we needed: beach stuff (wagon, chairs, kids sand toys), full kitchen (pots, pans, plates, utensils, etc.). There is an outdoor shower which was really convenient to clean up the kids before going into the house. Definitely a nice stay and we appreciate the hospitality and memories.
