Beach Retreat perfect for beach lovers.
Perfect location. Great accommodations for us. Very disappointed with the housekeeping. The floor was sandy and there was pet hair in many places. I swept the floor with a broom and ran the vacuum. I could not believe how much debris I picked up. Both coffee makers were badly in need of cleaning. Especially the Keurig. The cottage was very welcoming in size and comfort. The back porch was terrific. It had an excellent view of the beach and the ocean. The short walk to the beach gives the feel of a private location.

Another memorable holiday!
Another memorable holiday at the Beach Retreat. This is our go-to OBX getaway. The recent upgrades make it feel like a brand new place, while retaining that original beach cottage charm! And speaking of charm, Mark is one of the most gracious hosts you will ever meet. I can't say enough, except that our best kept secret is secret no more!

Glorious views and many updates to cottage
I felt like I was back in time. The cottage is so warm and inviting. The views are perfect. Private yet the view is fantastic. The kitchen is beautiful. I love the cafe curtains. The master bedroom mattress is very comfortable. I love hearing the ocean roar while going to sleep. So peaceful. Also so dog friendly. The deck has doggie gates. It was so nice to relax and not worry about them escaping. Mark is warm and quick to respond. I want to come back year after year. Make time to see the most Beautiful sunsets ever!

My second stay here, and the view from the porch can't be beat. Literally steps from the water. The house is clean and cute, perfect for those who need a smaller space. Nice cold AC. Responsive and friendly owner. Highly recommended.

Great Location
This property was great and probably one of the best places I stayed at while visiting OBX. Right on the beach - it was perfect for drinking coffee and watching the sunrise and hanging on the beach all day. It’s also super close to great restaurants and shopping. The home was clean and perfect size for my husband and pups. We will have to make another visit back as the weather didn’t quite cooperate, but we loved everything about this place.

Breathtaking piece of heaven
We wanted to take a last minute vacation and heard the OBX was an awesome place to go. Within minutes of finding this place, Mark was responding and we had it booked. The pictures don't do it justice...the view from the covered deck is amazing. We were able to watch a few surfers and dolphin pods while watching the ocean waves crash. Long work weeks...we deserved a chance to take a breath and got more. Our breath was taken away by the views. The cottage was clean and larger than we thought. The new stove and microwave made it easy to cook at our leisure. The sandbar is small so mobility issues are not as much an issue to get to the beach. In fact, if you can do 5 or 6 stairs, once inside you never have to leave because the deck overlooking the ocean is exactly what it says it is, close to water! Bring binoculars as it is fun to watch the dolphins and birds dive in the water.

Excellent location
The house is a great little 2 bedroom, perfectly located to step off of the porch and into the sand. A beach lovers dream. Mark was quick to respond with any questions or concerns. Definitely recommend for that old outer banks feel. Close to good restaurants

The Perfect Spot
For clarity and transparency, my wife, my dog, and I were the only occupants. This house was PERFECT. I know on occasion people are fooled are by photos or vague descriptions, but this was the opposite of that. The home was exactly as described and even better upon arrival. Right on the beach with a gorgeous deck to see the sunrise and sunset, perfectly furnished with a plenty of room for a family of 4 to 5. Professional and clean I hope to stay here again.
