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 an excellent four-bedroom condo with one-and-a-half baths. 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.

Disappointment
Was contacted by property manager about make sure everything was okay. Texted back that the place needed a deep clean. Baseboards dirty, cobwebs on the toilet plungder, windows needed cleaned(had either handprints or (dog) nose prints, railing loose. Sent pictures. Was told we would be contacted the next morning about these issues. No one every call or contacted us. Just a disappointment.

No frills Buxton Getaway
The house is a very spacious unit for a frailly of 7 with room for at least 2-3 more if you wanted. Great spot with a 5 min beach walk, great back deck overlooking the dune/beach area.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at Starfish. The home is located in a development near the site of the old Coast Guard station. While somewhat dated, we found it very adequate for us. The house was clean and everything functioned as it should.

Location was perfect but stay wasn’t the greatest
The home smelled of cat urine horrible, my son is deathly allergic to cats and was sick the whole trip, we were only aware of dogs being able to at this property and cats are his only severe allergy, the upstairs bedrooms were filled with tiny ants and the beds were very uncomfortable, the supply of wash cloths was slim to none for a family of 4 we had to buy loofas for our stay after day 1, the location was perfect which was the best perk

Good time in the OBX at Starfish
The Starfish house is in a great location. Short walk to the beach or town and excellent views of the ocean and the lighthouse. This is not a four star hotel but it is a great beach house. House was generally clean but well worn, not dirty but worn. Kitchen was well stocked and there was lots of room for an extended family vacation. Basic furnishings were clean and comfy, bedrooms were the same. The proximity to everything in Buxton is a huge plus. You can walk or bike almost everywhere. Back 3 bedrooms have great views but you should be ready for the light from the lighthouse at night, didn’t disturb sleep but was a surprise the first night. If you bring the pups watch out for the cactus and spiky weeds in the wild grass areas. Overall great location and a solid OBX rental.

Family Vacation
We enjoyed our stay in Buxton! The rental was easy to locate and close to the beach. We wish that it was more updated and provided more amenities, but overall it was nice.

The mice
I expected it to be older and outdated. I expected it to be CLEAN. I wiped this place down with cleaning cloths. It was a disappointment from day 1. Day 2- microwave and coffee maker break. The maintenance guy was super nice. He took care of the appliances. That evening came the mouse!!! I should have known what I was getting into by the low cost. It was worth the low cost!! I’ll never see it again. Not sure I’ll even use this VRBO again!! It’s misleading!

Great Getaway
The house was clean and spacious. However, the neighborhood/location of the house was by far the best part! The beach was a short 4 minute walk away, and had a parking lot as well for closer access. Oftentimes we felt as though we had a private beach to ourselves, and we were able to get a permit for bonfires on the beach! Overall, an excellent stay!
