A Breezy OBX Retreat Built for Beach Life

Captain's Cabin is a charming 768 sq ft beach cottage tucked into Kill Devil Hills — one of the Outer Banks' most beloved communities. Two full decks let you catch the ocean breeze morning and night, and the rooftop Tree Top Level is the spot everyone falls in love with.

Inside, you'll find two comfortable queen bedrooms, a sleeper sofa, and a fully stocked kitchen ready for everything from a quick breakfast to a fresh seafood dinner. Smart lock entry makes check-in a breeze, and the outdoor shower is perfect for rinsing off after a beach day.

Dogs are welcome — because adventures are better with the whole pack. Beach parking pass and a public boat launch come with the stay, so you can make the most of all the Outer Banks has to offer.

Great, responsive hosts! The cabin was a perfectly cozy landing spot for my teenage son and I. The beach and pier are just across the highway. Neighborhood was quiet — everyone was friendly. We would definitely stay again!

Super comfortable beds and great location! My favorite part was the Tree Top Level — a great place to sit and enjoy the sun and the breeze. The rental was fully stocked for cooking. We really enjoyed our stay.
