Build a beautiful resort village on a favorite Hatteras Island location, and they will come. The Cottages at the Cape are the closest rental units to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in Buxton. They share a long border with the national park and are literally steps from the beachfront. Bring the bikes, because Buxton’s unique shops, restaurants, and lighthouse are all very close. Forget the 4WD vehicle - those in the know have discovered that the three jetties to the east of the cottages produce some of the best fishing, surfing, and swimming on this island. Walking to the south will take you to open beaches, the famed Cape Point, and if luck is on your side during the summer, a few sea turtle nests (be careful to stay outside the barriers). This is a spacious two-bedroom condo with one-and-a-half baths and a large kitchen and living areas. The interior has been professionally-decorated with comfortable and fun beach décor. You'll have access to an outside shower and a patio. An escape to the cape never looked so good as at Cottages at the Cape.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying here for our one year wedding anniversary. Great location, super comfy beds, clean, and perfect for a trip with some doggos! A 30 second walk to the beach is an added bonus too!

Wonderful property
This was an amazing stay. The proximity to the beach was wonderful, just a quick walk to the lighthouse. Our pup enjoyed it immensely. The bed was super comfy, kitchen well stocked with essentials, and most importantly super clean.

Nice stay
Went for a long weekend. Didn’t arrive until 11pm. Checkin process was easy even that late. Sand spurs were terrible in the yard but I don’t think anything can be done about that. Would stay again.

Good choice
This location was great for a family of surfers and beach walkers. Perfect size for family of 4. There was evidence of previous pets, but it was very well cleaned before we arrived. It was stocked with all essentials. Make sure that you dont arrive at real estate office until after 4pm, or you will wait. Dog friendly was a great convinience for us. Overall, basic but nice.

Great Location needs overall TLC seriously
Our stay was wonderful location is everything. It's a wonderful property, but it's very obvious that TLC and updates haven't happened in years. 1. The beds really are uncomfortable and extremely soft feel the springs! Not easy to sleep on. We had to sleep in different beds! Seriously not restful. This and a bad fall with broken ankle was the unhappy ending. When you update your property because the beds were the major things but there is so much more like cutting board is nasty, stained not something i would ever put my food on obviously mold growing in it. Toaster oven unsafe so old and it does not work correctly. Dishwasher not attached and screwed into counter falls forward! No silver ware utensil basket!

Nice house/Good Location
House can use some TLC, but overall nice property, and just minutes from beach. The houses in the development we stayed in were mostly pet friendly. The property grounds can use a lot of work. Can't walk your dog without them or us stepping in spurs. They have a playground as well that looks like it has not been kept up. Some of the white fences were knocked down and just laying there. Our house had issues with the doors locking. I also would recommend if the home is pet friendly that the entire house is tile/hardwood. Lots of pet stains on the carpet.

Buxton townhouse
Overall we had a nice time. The location is great and views from the property are nice. The front deck and covered porch were both pleasant and have nice partial ocean views. The biggest problem was cleanliness. The area over by the couch has a distinct urine smell and, most seriously, there were quite a few Palmetto bugs in the kitchen (that occasionally ventured out into the family room). This is kind of a deal breaker with us. Otherwise, this house would be a great value.

Location
The location was perfect - right by the beach, amazing views. Absolutely perfect. The house itself was fine - it is just in need in some overall updates. Rugs were very stained, blinds were broken, lots of dog hair which is great they allow pets ... it just needs some extra TLC but overall it is still a nice house and you can’t beat the price with that location. We had a blast.

Great place, great nature, great little village! Unfortunately, museums, lighthouses and pools were close due to pandemic, but we still enjoyed our vacation at the Outer Banks. Being able to bring our dogs with was definitely a plus!

Adequate
The property location is excellent. Very close walk to the beach. The unit itself is outdated. The beds were not comfortable and there were some rusted fixtures throughout. For our short stay, it was adequate.

Quite Getaway
We wanted a quite getaway and that’s just what we got. A small placed tucked away, a short walk away from the beach. It was overall very pleasant. The place was clean and accommodated my wife and I along with our dog very well. The only complains I had were the lack of an outdoor shower and a receptacle didn’t work. (It involved troubleshooting and it was annoying to do on a vacation.) overall I’d recommend it and we would stay again.

Spring break trip
We stayed in the Croaker unit with our 2 sons. The unit was very clean. We would definitely stay there again. Hatteras Reality was great to work with. Even when we locked ourself out when we first arrived AFTER business hours. They sent a maintenance man right away to let us in. The beach was just a very short walk.we stayed the first week of April so not much was open but we still had a great trip.
