About this property

Sea Breezes South - Just Steps To The Beach!

COVID19 SPECIAL NOTICE:
Dare County including the Outer Banks is currently open to visitors. Any reservations affected by the virus will be reimbursed in full.

It will be important for everyone to follow guidelines on social distancing and personal protective equipment to keep everyone safe and the beaches open.
Please check the Dare County website for guidelines and information about staying safe, new business operation restrictions. Many restaurants are now open as well as offering take out, curbside pick up, and delivery. https://www.darenc.com/departments/health-human-services/coronavirus

We have implemented new cleaning procedures with emphasis on touch points, but all surfaces are being disinfected. We are following industry recommendations based on Center for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for safe operation of a vacation rental property. Since we do not have laundry machines at the cottage, all blankets, bead spreads and throw pillows have been removed. In addition to the usual linens, (sheets and towels), you will also need to bring blankets/bedspreads with you. There are linen services in the area that can provide these if you do not want to pack them. We apologize for this inconvenience, but there is no other way to safely provide these items. We do have pillows with protective covers, but if you feel more safe with your own, add these to your packing list. Spray bottles with a 10:1 bleach solution is at the cottage for your use. (Commercial cleaning products are difficult to find)!

So here is a summary of what you can do to make your stay safe:
At check-in:
remove shoes before entering cottage (this is difficult as you unpack but if possible have one person unload the car and another person inside)
wipe high touch surfaces with disinfectant (we have done this, but industry recommendations suggest guests take the extra precaution)
If using bed pillows provided, be sure to use your own pillowcases
During your stay follow the three W's:
Wear a mask/cloth face covering when in public areas, (all businesses will require masks to enter)
Wait six feet apart
Wash your hands frequently for 20 seconds with soap and water or hand sanitizer
Be mindful of what you touch in public areas, (hand rails, gas pumps, grocery carts, etc.
Most important.....have a wonderful time! The beach is the perfect place to relax and restore. Following the social distancing guidelines and safety precautions will help keep everyone healthy and the beaches open.
-------------------------------------------------------
Sitting just 100 yds from the beach, Sea Breezes is inviting and comfortable the minute you walk through the door. Each side of the duplex has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and a living/dining/kitchen area. A unique sliding wall allows for rental of both sides with a common dining area. Each kitchen is fully equipped. There is cable TV, DVD, and wifi, a private deck with grill and heavenly outside showers on each side. The Town of Southern Shores was founded on volunteerism and continues to be cared for by a strong team of members of the community. It is a strong community committed to preserving a safe, family friendly beach and sound area. Beach and sound access is limited to property owners and renters, so over-crowding is not an issue. Access to the beach from Sea Breezes Cottage is a short 100 yard walk. Although across the street from the beach access path, the cottage is in a strictly enforced 25 mph zone of Ocean Blvd, making crossing the street easy and safe. The South side of the cottage is identical to the North side unit except in bedding. On this side, there is one bedroom that has a queen size bed. The second bedroom has two twin beds. There is also a queen size sleep sofa in the living area.

Please note that we do not provide linens. You will need to bring your own sheets, bath towels, kitchen towels, and beach towels.

Family beach werkend
We had difficulty with the code to enter and the front door jammed so bad it could not be opened. We reached out to owner around 3:15 pm and used the virtual agent to get a phone number. The response did not come until 10:45pm that evening. We Had found another door to enter in back in the meantime and had to walk everything on a narrow boardwalk path to back of house. The best thing about property was the location. Directly across from beach access and close to many outer banks sites like the Wright Brothers memorial, Kull Devil Hills and Duck. Bathroom was small and only a shower. The floor was very dirty when we arrived and we had to clean up. I will say the living areas were nice size and kitchen well equipped. The host also refunded the the service fee since we had so much trouble reaching for entry assistance.

An affordable, funky spot right by the beach
We had a great stay. Check in was seamless and we were thrilled to discover the beach is basically across the street. The property is a bit dated and could use better soundproofing for the adjoining unit, but overall, it more than met our needs. Loved the outdoor shower.

The description was fairly accurate, however, minimal amenities and no evidence to make the stay more personal. Landscape could have been much better. However, it was so accessible to the beach that it made the stay tolerable.

Wrong side of property pictured
We booked the “south” unit but all the pictures are the “north” unit. Outdoor area couldn’t be used due to overgrowth and trash, black mold in indoor shower, random person removed the front screen at night which was a surprise, not a clean feeling rental, very disappointed by property owner’s response.

Great little spot
I was taking my mother to the beach and wanted a one level place to stay. This was great. But, when you walk across to the beach, the access is about 20 steps up and then 20 steps down to the beach access. My mom did it ok and enjoyed her time there. The property does need some maintenance. The yard hasn't been mowed, trimmed, weeded for probably the whole season, if not more. The house and all the amenities were great though.

Great little place for a weekend getaway
Great little place, and close to the beach. My only complaint was the lawn and shrubbery not being maintained. I highly recommend to anyone for a long weekend getaway.

Great Week
We enjoyed our stay! It was clean, well equipped, and great access to uncrowded beach. Kitchen had everything. Queen bed was very comfortable. Everything was in good working order. For check in, the front door needs a good pull. Back door, wait to hear the click, then turn handle. Used outdoor shower all week. TV is a smart tv, so have your streaming logins with you. Couldn’t find traditional cable channels so we binged some series and were able to find some weather channels and news. Overall the place is great! We were bragging about our “Beach Shack” rental to family members who rented a very expensive property nearby. We liked our place so much better!

Location is everything!
This property is directly across from the beach! In addition to that, Southern Shores is a great town with lots to do. I recommend a drive up to Corolla to see the lighthouse and the wild ponies. The property was clean. The hostess was very responsive. We struggled with the lock to get into the property. But we were doing it wrong, she was very kind and patient with us.

Gorgeous beaches!!
We had a wonderful vacation!! Anne was able to accommodate an adjustment in our stay so we were very grateful! The place was rustic and beachy but perfect for us and our 2 pups. The beach was directly across a quiet street. There were stairs allowing beach access. The beach was breathtaking!! We brought our own beach chairs so that worked out for us bc we were driving, but for others this might not. We did bring everything we needed but if you’re renting remember to bring towels, sheets etc. Also, there may be renters on the other side of the home. There is an area in which the wall is thin next to the dining room so you can hear things next door if people are on the loud side. Anne was very accommodating and returned my call immediately when I had a question . Great stay!

Our cabin was nothing fancy but it was just right for the three of us. It was a two minute walk to a beautiful beach. The beds were comfortable and grocery stores were a short drive away. We will hope to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Anne Doyle Coon

Host profile image
This cottage was bought by my parents, in partnership with my father's best friend from the Navy, Hal. At times it was hard for each to make the payments, but they managed. With 5 kids there was a ready supply of workers to maintain the cottage. Several families from our church also bought cottages or rented cottages regularly and memories of our time on the Outer Banks grew with bonfires on the beach, trips up Jockey's Ridge, Easter egg hunts, and more. When the mortgage was finally paid in full, my folks bought the other side of the duplex and Hal bought another place down the beach. Over the years, the cottage has been expanded and updated with central heating and air conditioning, dishwasher, TV, and Internet access. My mother, Elly, is the owner and my sisters, brother, and I manage the cottage for her.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location.... We are literally across the street from the beach access path, (100 yds to the beach). Shopping, restaurants, entertainment, outdoor activities are within a 10 minute drive. Our beaches are clean and not over-crowded. Sea Breezes cottage has unique charm and comfort for individuals, couples, families, girls weekends, guys getaways, fishing and golf trips. Rent both sides for larger groups and open the unique sliding wall to have a large dining area.

What makes this property unique

This cottage is one of the original cottages built on the Outer Banks in the 1950's, but don't let that scare you away! The cottage has charm, is comfortable, and has been updated to have central heating and air conditioning as well as the basic amenities you would hope for, (dishwasher, TV, internet). Sea Breezes doesn't compete with the new construction, luxury beach homes in the area... but then they can't really compete with our place either.
