your obx vacation
Welcome to our newly-renovated, modern guest cottage at the beach!
H E L L O!
We (Kyle and Erin—nice to e-meet you!) spent over a year of our lives creating this Airbnb, we are excited that you have chosen to stay here! The size is ideal for couples or small groups of friends. The vibe of the cottage is fresh, modern, beachy and minimal. We’re tucked away on a cul-de-sac amongst beautiful live oak trees, less than a mile from the beach and only a quick walk away from sound-front sunsets. We have lived here for many years now, and possess lots of insider knowledge that we have complied together in this brochure, so you can easily access everything so that you can truly live like locals!

It was moved in 1999 due to the sea due to erosion of the shore. Make a day of it and hang out at the beach. If you make it to Buxton early be sure to try an Apple Ugly at Orange Blossoms cafe!

take local art home with you! Around the cottage you will see my local digital art! All are priced and you can take home with you.
Salty Inks, my (Erin) digital creations, are inspired by all of my favorite places on the Outer Banks. I've been visiting the OBX since I was a child, and I some of my favorite memories are camping in Buxton, falling asleep to the sweeping lighthouse light, and waking up with anticipation of an Apple Ugly from the Orange Blossom Bakery in the heart of Hatteras. During my college years, I’d spend my summers working here, and now I’ve been living on the beach full-time with my husband and children for 13 years. Still, I’m constantly invigorated by our ever-changing, everbeautiful landscape and community. It’s my hope that through my digital prints, I’m able to capture some of that beauty, and give people a tangible piece of our stunning scenery to always carry with them.
thank you
