Live Oak Cottage - 'tiny house' / walk to beach

The Live Oak Cottage is a beautiful guest suite situated under sprawling live oak trees. The studio suite and main house was originally a US Coast Guard Lifesaving Station built in 1901 - and moved to its current location in the 60s. The suite has been restored to bring it up to date with modern amenities, while retaining its rustic charm. A full kitchenette, with fridge, plug in cook top, gas grill + more. Sit back and relax on your private deck or walk to the beach in just 5 minutes. Note: this is a tiny house / studio - so it is one room with a king bed, kitchenette with stool seating and a separate full bathroom.

This guest cottage is located behind the main house, but detached so you have your own deck, entry, and privacy. There is a kitchenette, full bathroom with shower, king size bed and a flat screen TV. We have a toaster, Keurig, plug in induction cook top, and all needed cooking utensils, pot and pan. There is a private deck out back for you to relax under the sprawling live oak trees with outdoor shower rinse off, gas grill + seating area.

We live in the main house and are available via text or airbnb message.

Located in Southern Shores and on a quiet street just 5 minutes from the beach.

5 minute walk to the beach, 5 minute drive to the Town of Duck or Kitty Hawk.

We do allow pets with prior approval. Pet fee is $95 per stay ( we allow only one pet). The pet fee is non negotiable, we have pets and want to keep our rentals pet friendly but even the best of pets have more wear and tear than you’d think. The property is situated on a quiet street but does back up to Duck rd. There is a privacy fence but you can hear the cars passing by. We still love the area and privacy this woodsy land provides. ***Outer Banks & Bugs - the outer banks has a variety of wildlife - and palmetto bugs / water bugs are one of them - especially after heavy rains and high humidity - we have all our rentals on monthly pest control treatment but we like to give guests a heads up as sometimes you will see them dead inside***
During your stay at this apartment building, you're just a quick walk from Outer Banks Beaches. Features include a water park. The apartment offers a patio and a Smart TV.
  • Air-conditioned apartment with patio, Smart TV, and refrigerator
  • Splash around at the water park
  • 9 minutes by foot from Outer Banks Beaches and a 4-minute drive from Aqua Spa
This apartment offers its guests a water park. This apartment also features barbecue grills and a garden.

Anniversary Getaway
This was the perfect cozy cottage for a weekend anniversary trip. Great location within walking distance to the beach and to lots of shops and restaurants. It was the perfect place to stay to be away from the noise but also within in a few minutes of everything. The only downside was we wanted to grill one night and the gas tank was rusted shut so we weren't able to grill. Overall we had a great experience.

Cottage in the oaks
The cottage was very quaint. It was clean and well furnished. Although small it has what we needed Since I’m a bit disabled it was a little challenging at times but that was my choice to pick this particular place . I was a bit disappointed that we never met the owners

Lovely stay in OBX
Adorable cottage and wonderful stay! Would absolutely recommend for a couple looking for a relaxing place very close to the beach! We brought our pup and he loved looking at the view of the trees out of the large windows. We even had some deer visitors at the windows right when we checked in! The place is super private with a very comfortable large bed and was well equipped with everything we needed. A fantastic location in Southern Shores close to Duck and such a short walk to the beach. I especially appreciate the historic preservation aspect of this cottage and that it’s a repurposed former life saving station building. Host also responded to all communication almost immediately! 10/10 would absolutely stay here again!

The property waa truly fantastic. The bed was incredibly comfortable and it was wonderful to have a full size fridge. We appreciated having beach chairs available for our use and loved that was such a short walk to the beach. 100% recommend staying here!!

The tiny house was cozy and clean and there were a lot of thoughtful little touches like recommendations to restaurants and coffeeshops. We appreciated the clever use of space and the close walk to the beach. It was a lovely getaway. A couple suggestions: 1) include instructions for the hot plate . 2) Store items outside in a shed; the property looked a little cluttered.

Perfect Spot!
We love this tiny house / guest cottage! The Live Oaks surrounding it are beautiful and the walk to the beach is very easy. We loved how close to everything this spot was. The bed was also so comfortable!
