Knot a Care

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Let your worries and your cares slip away at this gorgeous Outer Banks escape. Boasting a private in-ground pool, a fully fenced yard, and a covered patio area beneath the home, this coastal retreat comes primed for endless fun in the sun. When you're not enjoying the comforts of home, discover the island's pristine coastline with a day at the beach or a stroll down to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, which are both less than a mile away. You'll also be within a mile of great local restaurants, gift stores, and bait shops.

Completely surrounded by a privacy fence and lush, tropical foliage, the backyard pool area offers you a private paradise to enjoy with friends and family. An upper deck area makes an ideal spot to work on your tan, and if you need some relief from the heat, the breezy ground-floor patio has got you covered. If you went fishing while out and about, use the fish-cleaning station to prepare your catch for a hearty meal. The backyard firepit's top can be turned into a grill to sear the fish you just cleaned. In the evening, use it for starlight s'mores sessions together. An enclosed outdoor shower provides a private and convenient spot to rinse off after trips to the beach.

Coastal tones and seaside decor fill the interior, helping to set the mood for beachside bliss. Vaulted ceilings and strong natural lighting in the open-concept living area create an inviting space for group gatherings. An updated sofa and smart TV provide comfortable home lounging and indoor entertainment. A full suite of stainless steel kitchen appliances, cookware, and plenty of utensils are equipped for home cooking. Additional perks include central air-conditioning, free WiFi, and a private washer/dryer.

Perfect stay for small to medium family
Perfect comfortable size for 2 - 6. Well stocked, well appointed home with beautiful coastal decor. Love the backyard paradise with large pool. The firepit is perfect size and great gathering place in the evening. Well stocked with comfortable chairs around all outside areas and deck. This is a definite "return to" as very few homes the size have pools and are this nice.

Cozy time away
This home was just what we needed for our spring break getaway. Very dog friendly! Our pup loved the wrap around deck, the backyard and the loft/bedroom area. We placed her bed near the slider door and she was able to relax and view the outside at the same time, which she loved! Overall the house is quiet and serene. We could hear the ocean waves at night and the view of the Hatteras Lighthouse was a big plus to see once the sun set. The house has everything you'll need-full kitchen, 2 baths, plenty of places to sleep and even items for rainy days (puzzles and books). This would be a great place for multiple couples or a family. The living room area is a little small, but if you're here during the warmer months, I doubt much time will be spent inside anyway. We stayed when it was colder but the backyard and pool would be wonderful in the warmer months. The neighborhood was walkable and was easy to get to a couple food spots and the public beach access. I would stay here again!

Just what we needed!
Needed a good week to recharge and the OBX is aways the place to do it. Knot A Care fulfilled the need for a worry free week of sun, sand and surf fishing.
