Albemarle Sound: soggiorni in cottage

Thanks again for another relaxing stay at “Breakin’ Wind”! It’s been 5 years since our last trip here and we loved coming back to Terra’s place. We especially loved the hot tub, shelling and walks on the beach and seeing the horses again.

Very nice for a girls weekend get away. The neighborhood was quiet, and conveniently located to the things we wanted to do.

Me & my 3 boys spent 3 nights at this wonderful hideaway. Alex has everything you need in the kitchen. (Microwave handle was coming off ) but that is literally the only complaint other than hot tub wouldn’t warm up for us! Other than that. All the kitchen items you need, tons of space, beautiful clean, water front house. I swear you have views of the water from every single window in the house. Comfy beds, tvs functioning. Oh we couldn’t figure out retro gaming system and we have tech savvy boys. But who cares because the trip was about getting off screens. We kayaked and used the dock for fishing. My son caught a catfish, blue crabs, and a stingray. He really never left the dock. So peaceful. We want to come back!

Beautiful location!! The host was quick with responses and very safe area. The location is very close to the public access. Will be back in the future!!

This is our 2nd stay here, and we have loved both visits! The kids love the pool, we love to walk to the beach and to town. Such a great house in a great location!

Cozy home in a perfect location! Especially is you plan to run the Flying Pirate Half Marathon!

Pictures don't really do it justice. It is much brighter and lighter inside than shown on Airbnb. Very cute house, would consider it again for future bookings. Back yard is an oasis and the hot tub is a perk!

We had a very relaxing stay at this home! It was charmingly decorated and had enough space for 4 of us to spread out. Communication was clear and the hosts were responsive. The home was well located, convenient to quite a few restaurants within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.

Had a great stay at Maria and Steve's! Place was clean and as listed. Only tricky part was the house is across the highway from the beach access which meant having to drive and find parking or cross a very busy road.

The Flat Top on First is the perfect place for a beach vacation! Dustin and Karol have made sure you have everything you need during your stay, including toiletries! We could have gone with just our clothes and been just fine 😂. The beach is so close with easy access, and several grocery stores within 5 minutes. Dustin is also quick to answer any questions. 10/10!

This place is really fit for purpose. I take a group of guys there every year. We eat we sleep we fish we repeat.

We loved our stay at this amazing cottage! it felt like home, with every amenity possible and the walk to the awesome beach to the calm waters with beautiful sunrises, and dolphins passing by was awesome! We highly recommend this cottage and will come again next time!! Thank you so much!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Janet & Jerry from Michigan

This was the perfect dog friendly place we were looking for. The enclosed deck and yard allowed to let the dogs out and run around the place without issue. The house itself is pretty close drive wise to everything. Plenty of space as well. Would definitely come back here again especially if we brought our dogs.

This spot was perfect for a few days right in Virginia Beach. We walked to the beach with our dog in the morning after we chose from several nearby spots for coffee and treats. The neighborhood was walkable, friendly, with things to do and see. The house itself is cozy, with everything you could want or need while traveling. A home away from home.

Very peaceful and fenced in yard was a plus for our small dog. The beach was only a couple of blocks away. House was clean and host was responsive.

We stayed in the off season, and the houses nearby were unoccupied. It was wonderfully quiet and peaceful. The house was perfect and Kimberly was very friendly and communicative. We’ll definitely rent this house again!

Such a beautiful country cottage on the water!! I enjoyed the large windows overlooking the water and watching all the birds. We didn’t have time to kayak but definitely a great spot for that! We will stay again!!

Maria’s cozy little house was very comfortable, and we especially enjoyed the backyard and her beautiful paintings. The beach is nearby, though it’s best to drive due to a busy intersection. The Wright Brothers’ Museum is just a short drive away, and Maria was incredibly helpful in recommending places to visit.

Probably my favorite Airbnb ever. The cottage is so comfortable and welcoming, a really relaxing energy. The woodwork is exquisite. The outdoor shower is awesome and so is the porch. You can walk to the beach and the sound. Would absolutely come back!

From beginning to end this cottage is off the charts. Cute, unique, functiinal, confortable, well organized, thoroughly supplied and the location is private and beautiful.

Enjoyed our stay. Loved that we could utilize the community pool since the beach had red flags during our entire stay. The beach access private parking was also a plus. Hot tub was a great way to end the day. Lots of space for family meals at the dinning room table.

This historic beach cottage is in a peaceful, beautiful neighborhood. It’s centrally located, so it was a quick ride to visit friends in Duck, as well as my favorite restaurants in Kitty Hawk, KDH, and Nags Head. I was traveling with my dog, and Ginger had toys/treats ready for her after our long drive from Connecticut. I will definitely book again next time I’m in town.

Drew’s space was the perfect spot for an Outer Banks adventure! Being able to walk to the beach and swimming next to a shipwreck was amazing. It was also a great location to get to other parts of the island. When we got there and realized that some linens were missing, Drew was on it and remedied the situation immediately and was very helpful. I highly recommend the Swell Life and we can’t wait to be back!

Wonderfully responsive hosts - clean, neat house, comfortable bed. It's not near many restaurants, so bring food. This is a nice landing place if you are seeking wildlife around Mattamuskeet.
