This was the first house built on the street in 1965. It's a classic A-frame updated with modern amenities but also very much retaining it's classic charm, including the original Hotpoint Kitchenette brought from Ohio! Comfy, cozy, and interesting design.  A rare gem of a beach house in the OBX.

Wonderful Spot!

We stayed here for a few days and absolutely loved our time here! The beach was just a few minutes walk away and it was a great spot and not overly crowded. The house itself was so charming, clean and had everything we needed. It was the perfect space to land in after exploring the area. We are already looking forward to coming back!

Perfect little get away

Bubba’s cottage is unique and adorable. We had a wonderful stay. The hosts were great with communication and the house is meticulously outfitted with everything you need to cook, relax with family and head to the beach. The location is great- just a two minute walk over the dunes to the beach. We especially loved the outdoor shower and full size laundry available to use. We would def recommend staying here!

Family Vacay

Excellent stay. The home was very clean and enjoyable to stay in. It was relaxing during the rain storm. The location was amazing. A nice short walk to the beach through the dunes. I loved being that close to the beach. The outdoor shower was used and appreciated! Our teenager loved the hammock. I want to stay here again!

Charming A-frame cottage in superb location

We had a fabulous mini break at Lang Cottage. It is cozy and comfortable and has everything you need for a great stay at the beach. The (well-equipped) kitchen is a vintage delight! Beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are compact but function well. The cottage is set just behind the beach dunes and is a very short stroll to the beautiful beach. Lots of games and books to entertain. Hosts were very responsive with any queries during our stay. Highly recommend :)

BEST LOCATION IN THE OUTER BANKS!

We had a wonderful time at Sara & Barrett beautiful beach house. It was really unique, quirky & retro all in one! You felt like you were waking up in a tree house in the top bedroom! We drove around the Outer Banks as far as Kitty Hawks to the North & Buxton to the South, and Salvo was genuinely the nicest part with such a beautiful beach. We couldn’t believe how uncrowded it was in August!! Sara was so helpful and gave lots of recommendations. 😊 we had takeout from Boardwok & Lisa’s Pizeria & ate out at Good Winds and a bit further north at Kills Devil Grill (which is so worth the drive!) after horse riding in Nags Head. Thank you again for having us, we had the best time and just wish we had stayed longer! 😊

Simply fantastic!

We loved staying at this property - it’s described well, has a great location tucked away from the higher-population areas north on the Banks, and is extremely well kept and stocked. The owners are very easy to communicate with, and even went above and beyond to take care of an issue we had without us even asking - and it made all the difference by allowing us to spend time relaxing instead of dealing with that problem. We absolutely would stay here again and can’t recommend it enough! :)

April 2022

My boyfriend and I stayed a week here and wish we never had to leave. The house was overall clean just not detailed cleaned like shelves & corners but while I waited for him to wake up I took care of those items I needed clean before I used them to place my stuff. Everything about this property was amazing, only thing that would make it better would be not being next to the public access trail to the beach since we aren’t really people persons, but we made it work. The house had an item I wanted for my own home, so I asked the owner where they got it and I was able to purchase the same one and bring it home with me! Communication with the host was always answered in a timely manner and rules were fair and understandable! I would 10/10 recommend this property
