Property details

Picturesque Oceanside Cottage in Kitty Hawk Conveniently located just one block, or a 3-minute walk, from the beach in the heart of Kitty Hawk, Jo's Bungalow boasts picturesque views of the Atlantic Ocean and easy access to a wide array of restaurants and amenities on the Outer Banks. With one primary floor and both a Mid-Level and a Top-Level deck, this classic beach box-style home has everything you need for a fantastic, ocean-centered vacation. Start each morning by enjoying a cup of freshly brewed coffee on the ocean-view, upper-level Sundeck where you can catch a cool ocean breeze as you bask in the warm, southern sun. Grab your boogie board and beach bag once you're ready to start the day off right and head to the recently widened expanse of shoreline that's situated just a short away at the Balchen Street Beach Access. At the end of a glorious day of fun in the sun and sand, rinse off under the Outdoor Shower before heading up to the main level of this adorable home where you can relax on the Mid-Level Covered Deck and listen to the sound of the waves lull you into a sense of peace and relaxation. Spend time with your family on the cozy furniture as you enjoy the salty sea air. When it's time for some rest, make your way inside to the cozy Living Area with plenty of comfortable furniture and a Flat Screen TV that's perfect for catching up on your shows or watching a movie with a cup of tea on a rainy day. There's also a cozy Sleeper Sofa that can pop out for those days when you just need a nap or to make sure everyone has plenty of space to relax. Pass by the conveniently-located, stackable Laundry in the cubby nearby on your way to the Kitchen, which has everything you need to whip some delicious local, North Carolina seafood. Enjoy your yummy meal at the Breakfast Bar, with seating for 4, or take it out onto one of the decks to enjoy a gloriously natural dining experience. Get some sleep in one of the two cozy bedrooms that make this the perfect retreat for your smaller family vacation. Get some privacy in the Bedroom with 1 Queen Bed and get the kiddos all settled into the Bedroom with the Pyramid Bunk. There's a welcoming bathroom between the bedrooms, with easy access for everyone to share. And if you're planning to bring your four-legged friend on your next Outer Banks vacation, you're in luck! Jo's Bungalow is a dog-friendly vacation rental home that welcomes your furry family member. Located on a quiet residential street, this well-appointed beach house offers plenty of places to safely take your dog for a stroll without the worry of frequent traffic or busy side streets. Jo's Bungalow is the ideal Outer Banks retreat that will have you coming back year after year to enjoy the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean and the gentle comfort of life on the beach. Enjoy Good Food and Local Attractions Once you arrive, you may never want to leave the comfort of this adorable cottage, but its convenient location means you can explore all the great food and local attractions the OBX has to offer. Just minutes away, the Sea Scape Golf Links course is the perfect place for the avid golfers in your group. The whole family will love taking a stroll through the Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve to see the natural landscape and awesome wildlife. For a day trip, take the family up to Corolla to see the Currituck Lighthouse and take a safari-style tour to see the Corolla wild horses. When you get hungry, Art's Place is just a short walk away and is a great place to grab a burger for lunch. For a fine dining seafood experience, walk over to Ocean Boulevard Bistro and Martini Bar.

Very clean and comfortable for us and our two dogs. The covered porch is fantastic. But it’s to block the sun not the rain. The distance to the beach is also fantastic. We loved it, we miss it and we will stay there again. The listing says there is a dishwasher but there is none. But it was great for us nonetheless.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was conveniently located just a short walk from a public beach access, check in was easy, the house was set up perfectly to accommodate our dog, and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the evening. The neighborhood was great for early morning walks and very quiet at night too. We would absolutely stay there again!

Jo’s Bungalow was close to the beach and had great outdoor space. We loved that we could see the ocean from the top deck.
