Featured in Conde Nast Traveler's Best Places to stay on the Outer Banks! 200 yards from the ocean, you’ll find refuge after a busy day of beaching it in our chill crash pad. Unplug, kick back with Netflix, go watch the waves at the end of the road or take in a world class sunset just blocks away. You'll have a fully equipped kitchen for making meals but there is also good food & coffee real close by. Best for singles or couples, not suitable for infants or small children. The space READ THOROUGHLY! Our apartment is not the right choice if you have small children, more than 2 people, or if you plan on coming to the beach to party. This is a space for you to kick back & relax with a friend or spouse. We have added many personal elements for our guests to enjoy and have created this crash pad with the intention to rest & recharge while being super close to everything the Outer Banks has to offer. Located above our retail store & sweet shop, we ask that you confirm the potential for light noise and recognize that we are on a main street before booking. In the evenings (primarily during Summer) you may hear light noise from families having fun outside the shop, music drifting upstairs, or as our crew closes up at night. The apartment is surprisingly quiet for being above a business, and we’ve had no complaints so far, but we do like to be clear that you are staying above our ice cream & gift shop, which is why we ask that you confirm the potential for light noise before booking. We are open 9am to 10pm from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and 9am to 6pm (8 on weekends) in the off season. The apartment is about 600 square feet of sun soaked space with oak floors and Outer Banks history throughout. The open floor plan living area is filled with light & feels bigger than is, with high ceilings & big windows. Locally salvaged vintage pieces interject Outer Banks charm throughout the space. The apartment reflects the vibe of our shop downstairs, mixing a collection of vintage & new we hope you’ll love. In the morning, pop downstairs & grab a smoothie or acai bowl before you hit the beach. Cruise back and cook up some burgers outside on the small electric grill or use the fully stocked kitchen to make meals. Enjoy Netflix or play games once you’re in for the evening. You'll get a great nights sleep on the new, pressure relieving king size bed, to wake up relaxed & refreshed. There is WiFi throughout, a charging station in the bedroom, and also games, puzzles, coloring books and reading material. We want to share this space with people who will respect it in the same way they'd respect their mama's home. We run a family oriented business, so there is a strict no smoking [of any kind] policy in the apartment. Please dispose of any cig butts smoked outdoors properly, as the mulch below the deck is easily flammable. We reserve one parking space for our apartment guests. There is additional (free) side-street parking available behind the apartment if needed. We also provide: 2 backpack beach chairs A Small cooler Beach towels Electric grill Toiletries Starter toilet paper & paper towels **Looking for a larger space? Check out our 3 bedroom Cottage listing (for up to 6 people) by clicking on our profile and scrolling down to our other property listings.** Guest access We allow two guests & one vehicle per reservation. As our parking is shared with our retail business downstairs, we are unable to provide additional parking. We can not allow trailers, including tow behind or boat trailers as there is not room for these in our small parking area. The entire apartment is privately yours for the length of your stay. You are invited to hang out downstairs if you'd like or enjoy any of our outdoor spaces. Please know these outdoor (backyard & front yard) spaces are shared.
