Adorable Beach Box, Very short walk to the beach Access!

Cottage, 3 Bedrooms, 2.0 Bathrooms, (Sleeps 6)
Imagine sitting on your front porch in a rocking chair, listening to the waves crashing on the beach. This lovingly restored and beautifully appointed, 1970’s beach box will transport you back to the good ol’ days while providing you all the amenities you desire in your home away from home in the Outer Banks.

This three-bedroom, two-bath cottage is located just down the street from beach access and sits only 4 houses away from the ocean. Enjoy a view of the waves from the front porch!

Equipped with cable, WIFI, flat screen TVs (4), an expansive front porch, outdoor living spaces, a well-stocked kitchen, and a washer and dryer, Tommy Tautog’s has everything you need to enjoy easy beach living except your bathing suits and beach towels! Other linens (bedding, bath towels and washcloths) are provided by an independent vendor – the beds will be made when you arrive!

While the proximity to the beach is excellent, you’ll also find that this little gem on Walker Street offers easy access to the Avalon Pier and other great local attractions as well.

Our awesome caretakers, Mike and Lisa, are just as committed to your experience as we are!

Sorry – no pets or smoking in the cottage.

Thanks for considering Tommy Tautog’s!

Great long weekend away!
Really great spot! Quiet street really close to beach access. Our family enjoyed the amenities - table tennis, cornhole - all the extra kid stuff that was already there. Great area to walk around and exercise. The porch was our favorite for catching a breeze. Cottage was perfect for our small family and very comfortable. Really glad there was a washer and dryer! Only suggestion is to add the safety outlet plugs for kids. We will be back! Loved it!

Perfect Location!
This cute little cottage was perfect for our family of 4 adults and 1 tween. It was very clean when we arrived and had all the necessities. Well maintained with little thoughtful details like power strips everywhere for easy access and charging options. The location is PERFECT with just a short walk down the street for beach access. We would definitely stay here again!!

First time in OBX
This was the perfect house and location for our first time in The Outerbanks! We traveled from Syracuse, NY area and loved the easy walkable access to the beach, the property amenities and size. We also loved the proximity to lots of delicious restaurants, ice cream shops and so many other things to explore. We will be staying here for sure when we come back!!

This gem was perfect in every way! It had everything you could need and more available for a day at the beach. We enjoyed the quick access to the beach, the outdoor shower, outdoor games, covered porch and so much more! Everything was clean, and comfortable and check in and out was a breeze! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home, can't wait to return!

Relaxing trip with great location
This is the 2nd time staying here and we enjoyed it again. Clean house with everything you may need in the kitchen and beach items. The location was fantastic to walk to the beach and the pier. Loved sitting on the porch listening to the waves and while it rained. Great covered outdoor space. Easy check in and out.

Wonderful house just steps from the beach
We enjoyed our vacation in this nice, well equipped house in an awesome neighborhood just steps from the beach! The location was close enough to everything but still felt secluded and provided for the relaxation we were looking for. There was no public parking at the beach entrance nearest the home so there was plenty of open space on the beach. We had a terrific time and would certainly look at this home again for future trips!

Great Location and lots beach supplies.
This house was perfect for our family of 6. It's an easy walk to the beach. That walk is made even easier by the provided beach cart. Several chairs, boogie boards, sand toys and umbrellas are provided too. Additionally there was corn hole and ladderball. The internet was fast, the beds comfortable and it's proximity to the local activities are a plus. It's an easy walk to Awful Arthur's and the pier. If I had to pick something as a negative, the area under the couch needs cleaned. Theres plenty of outdoor seating as well. From the porch to the two sitting areas under the house, no matter the weather, you can be outside. Check in was super easy as was check out. I highly recommend.

Hidden Beneath
When checking to make sure none of our personal property was under the bed or couches prior to checking out, we discovered enough food to feed an army under the couch. Lots of dust under the beds and the curtains need washed as the amount of dust on them is quite noticeable. The sofa is very uncomfortable to sit on and hard to get off of. Many of the dishes are chipped and they are not good dishes to have at a place like this. They are very heavy. Cabinet storage is rather cluttered. The knives were not sharp and there was only one spatula. There was only one dishcloth as well, but several dish towels. I think the caretaker could exercise a little more pride in preparing it for guests. Very dusty. On a positive note, the king bed was very comfortable. The outdoor rinse shower was great. The beach supplies were nice. Having a second refrigerator was great also. The lounge area under the cottage was very nice. The distance to the beach was fantastic. The owner was very pleasant to work with and helpful!! This was our first time staying at a VRBO and overall it wasn’t a bad experience. I just prefer it to be cleaner and better kitchen necessities. Thank you.
