We had a very nice stay at the cottage. The house had plenty of beach cottage charm and came with useful house goodies. It felt clean, had all we needed (dishes, glasses, board games, sand toys) and everyone said the beds slept comfortably. Hot tub kept the kids plenty busy as we landed on a cold, windy spring break week. We were hopeful for a grill but using the park style charcoal grill would have been impossible with the wind. The sleeping setup was perfect for our family as the bunks can be joined with another room and all the adults were upstairs. With that windy week we got to relax with coffee and the house has good views of the ocean that made us very happy. We would definitely return to this house and all had a great visit.

Amazing home in amazing location. Full of ocean views and less than a 1 minute walk to relaxing on the beach.We especially enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub on the huge front deck. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our time with our two families of four. They had all the beach equipment you would ever need... and toys, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, skim boards, and a wagon to haul it all right across the street. Communication with David and Kerry was quick and easy! Can't wait to visit again.

We’ve stayed at this beach house several times now (I think this was our third or fourth visit), and it continues to be one of our favorite places to stay. Every time we come back, it feels just as special.The owners are always incredibly responsive, kind, and easy to work with, which makes the entire experience smooth from start to finish. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests and the property.The view is absolutely amazing—one of the best parts of staying here. It never gets old, no matter how many times we visit.This trip, we also noticed some updates to the decor and furniture, including larger beds, which were such a nice bonus and made the stay even more comfortable.We truly love this place and will absolutely be back again!

We stayed at Current View Cottage with our extended family for a full week, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish.The home itself is a beautifully restored beach cottage that strikes a rare balance between charm and modern comfort. The owners have clearly invested significant care and to preserving the character of the original, structural thoughtfully updating it with high-quality finishes and amenities. It feels intentional rather than commercial.What sets this property apart is the attention to detail. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped, the living spaces are comfortable and inviting, and every room reflects a cohesive design that enhances the overall experience. The owners have anticipated guest needs in a way that is not typical, from beach equipment and outdoor conveniences to small touches that make the stay feel personal rather than transactional. The location is equally strong. Being essentially steps from the beach, with unobstructed ocean views and easy access, made daily routines, effortless. The deck and outdoor spaces, particularly the hot tub and seating areas, were a highlight for both relaxation and family time.We had a multigenerational group, and the layout accommodated everyone comfortably without feeling overcrowded. The home is both functional and welcoming!In sum, this is not just a rental property. It is a home that has been carefully curated and generously shared. We would return without hesitation!

The sand kitchen was a big hit and got lots of use during our stay. Overall, it was a fantastic place to stay, and we would happily return!

Current View - Outer BanksThis place delivered exactly what was advertised. Great location—close to solid restaurants but far enough out to decompress. Kitchen had what we needed to cook when we felt like it. Plenty of parking available. Host was on top of communication the whole time. Check-in and checkout were simple, no hassles. House was clean, comfortable, exactly as described. The beds in all the rooms could use updating. Mattresses had you rolling into each other and the frames let everyone know when you rolled over. But otherwise found everything to be top notch. Layout worked perfectly for our crew. The hot tub at night was outstanding. Everything was easy to access and well-maintained.Would stay here again without hesitation. Highly recommend for families looking for a solid OBX stay. Five stars!

The location was great. Our stay In the downstairs bedroom was very comfortable. The kitchen was very nice and well-stocked. The other couple thought the upstairs bed was uncomfortable. (Owners said the mattresses upstairs are going to be replaced.) Also, it was difficult to have to come downstairs to take a shower, if staying upstairs. The home was clean and comfy.

The hot tub was fabulous. It was clean and went to the perfect temperature. Great for our windy and chilly October stay! Our hosts kept in contact with us during the entire stay. Rooms were cozy, cottage like and very clean. The laundry worked great with no problems. My older daughter and her husband commented on how much they liked it versus a huge house on the beach and the walk was not far to go onto the beach although the red flags meant no swimming.

We had a great time at this cozy little cottage! We had 9 people and fit perfectly. There were a lot of beach toys, wagon, chairs and umbrellas to use for going to the beach which was just a 1 min walk away. We could see the sunrise, watch the ocean and relax to the sound of the crashing waves from the beautiful deck with ample chairs, a table and hot tub. We will definitely rent this place again if we ever come back the Outer Banks area. The hosts were extremely communicative and helpful! We arrived to a nice gift bag and then a tray of gourmet cookies was delivered a couple days in. They were the best!

Kid-Approved, Parent-Loved OBX Escape!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this cozy cottage in Kitty Hawk! From the moment we stepped inside, we were impressed by how clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully decorated everything was. It had that perfect mix of beachy charm and modern comfort that made us feel instantly relaxed.The location couldn’t be better—just a short stroll to the beach, where we spent our days soaking up the sun and our evenings hunting for sand crabs (a huge hit with the kids!). We also loved being so close to great local restaurants and shops while still feeling tucked away in a peaceful spot.One of our favorite features was the hot tub—there’s nothing better than soaking under the stars after a day in the sun. The kitchen was well-stocked for meals at home, the beds were super comfortable, and we really appreciated the extras like bed linens, bath towels, beach chairs, and games.This cottage was the perfect home base for our Outer Banks adventure. We made such special memories here and can’t wait to come back!

Our stay at the Current View house was perfect. The house is perfectly located, beautifully decorated, very clean and well stocked with everything we needed to enjoy the week. The vast amount of beach gear was so wonderful for multiple families that included both teenagers and little ones. The hosts were incredibly generous with the information they shared about the area and a cookie tray sent to the house that the kids were especially fond of! It is clear that the owners of this home care very much about their renters with all of the attention to detail.

Wonderful Visit at Current View Cottage

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Current View Cottage. Such a relaxing place to spend a few days. The cottage felt like a beautiful home away from home. Decor was lovely; the decking and outside chairs were wonderful to enjoy the sunrise and the views were great. The walk to the beach was very short. So nice that all the supplies- beach chairs, etc were provided. We were able to enjoy the hot tub only once but would have loved to have spent more time in it. Very new and well maintained. Kitty Hawk was a great place for our first visit to the Outer Banks. We would definitely stay here again if we are able to go back. Kerry provided lots of restaurant recommendations and every one we tried was great! We especially enjoyed spending Mother’s Day at The Colington Cafe. We highly recommend the Current View Cottage for your next trip to the Outer Banks!! Thanks, The Walker Family

Cozy, quaint cottage in Kitty Hawk steps from beach!

My husband and I visited Kitty Hawk during the off-season and stayed in a current view cottage just steps from the beach. Though the weather was rainy and windy, the home provided a warm and comfortable retreat. It was beautifully decorated with a beach theme, creating a relaxing atmosphere. The kitchen was adorable, clean and well-stocked with essentials although we dined out during our brief stay. The homeowner, Kerry was attentive and responded quickly to our needs! Also, thanks for the awesome welcome package! The location was excellent—restaurants and supermarkets were nearby, although only a few restaurants were opened and the beach was right across the street. Despite the off-season weather, we enjoyed our time exploring the area, especially as we were in town to browse homes for sale. Overall, it was a delightful stay, and we’d love to return during peak season.
