Cozy stay in KDH

We very much enjoyed our stay at Captain's Cabin OBX. Everything was very clean; the bedding was super comfortable as were the living room sofas, and a great TV that accomodates multiple streaming services. Nice touches included the Keurig coffee bar in the kitchen, the pump bottles of shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the shower, and the sound machines in the bedroom. The neighborhood was quiet, the neighbors friendly, it was a short walk to the sound & close to shopping & restaurants. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying there again.

Cute and Comfortable

The cottage was cute and simple, super comfortable memory foam mattresses and a nice Keurig coffee maker every morning. The house was very clean, with several “well loved” couches. The smart TV allowed us to stream using our own accounts in the evening and we loved walking along the sound each night to watch the sunset. Captain’s Cabin owners were very attentive and access to the home was super simple and easy. This was our first time renting a VRBO in the Outer Banks, so it was a little odd to have to sign a separate agreement and place a deposit prior to our vacation, but maybe this is normal for OBX? We’ll be sure to bring our dog next time to this quiet and family friendly area.

Weekend Getaway

Property was quintessential beach and was opportunistic to everything we were looking to do while in the OBX. We were allowed to have our dogs stay with us in the home, which made the trip super easy and less stress for us. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a cute place in Nags Head!

Would book again!

Property was in a great location close to beaches, shopping, resturants, and within easy driving distance of several lighthouses. The neighborhood was safe and neighbors friendly. The home had all the supplies needed for our stay and it was clean. Owners communicated well with us prior to our trip and provided all the information needed for easy check in. Would book again!

Perfect Weekend Away

This home was clean and comfortable and included linens and extra touches. The location is close to restaurants and activities, and the home had a parking pass for beach access at Avalon Pier so we could park and visit the beach and my hub and could fish from the pier. We enjoyed our time at the beach and will return.

About the host

Hosted by Captain's Cabin OBX

Host profile image
We enjoy the sand and the surf, visiting and climbing lighthouses, and trying local cuisine. We've always wanted a beach house on the island, and to share it with others so that they can experience a piece of the magic that is the heart of the Outer Banks. Great food, great people, and Southern hospitality in a rustic beach setting.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property for the convenience of a location close to restaurants and activities, without sacrificing the serenity of a quiet residential neighborhood that really feels like a beach retreat away from it all.

What makes this property unique

Captains Cabin OBX offers convenient access to the best dining, outdoor activities, and amusements in the Outer Banks, with the peace and quite of a residential neighborhood - all less than a mile to the beach and less than half a mile to the sound.

This home is close to everything from miniature golf and movies to beach and sound access, in a quiet residential setting. The home has an open and inviting floor plan and the large back yard is secluded and quiet to relax after a day of fishing or beach -going.

The heart of the outer banks, with sand and sun and activities and dining galore within walking distance or a short drive! Bring your small boat or kayak for use at the sound side boat launch, put your toes in the sand at the beach, or simply relax on the decks with a book and coffee or tea!
