About this property
Clean Cozy Efficiency Beach Apt
Keep it simple at this peaceful, cozy and centrally-located efficiency apartment! First St Retreat is a tastefully renovated and decorated efficiency apartment! This cute little place is only a .6 mile walk to the beach!! It is perfect for spending some time at the beach, resting after a long day of fishing, or battling the waves, or simply exploring the OBX!
One big thing about our home is it's located on a street that has a VERY popular Beach Access for Surfing! You'll get to meet some of the great surfing legends there no doubt! Our neighborhood is quiet and nice. Perfect for taking a walk and enjoying the sunset. There is a Publix directly at the end of our street for groceries as well as putt-putt for some amazing family fun! Whether you’re coming for fishing, both off-shore and inlet, surfing, sight-seeing, wedding, business, or just a relaxing vacation, our home is in the middle of it all!
To get to the beach, simply drive east on First Street, follow to light, cross over and continue driving straight to the Beach Access. Presto! In a matter of minutes, warm sand and salty ocean air will pull you in!
To get to the northern beaches, Corolla and Corova, you take the bypass North through Duck and keep heading North! Wild horses are located in Corova, and you WILL need a 4 Wheel drive to see them. MAKE SURE YOU AIR DOWN
To get to the Southern Beaches, simply turn the other way, south on the bypass and keep heading south! Then if you’re really adventurous, take the ferry ride to Ocracoke, which is a whole other world and WELL worth the day trip!! Plan accordingly!
We have a shed in the back that has some bikes, beach gear and yard games available on a first come first serve basis.
We have an absolute ZERO smoking (of anything), party, drug use, underage drinking, pet policy. We have a MAXIMUM of 2 persons AT ANYTIME (without prior approval). Failure to abide by these rules will result in immediate dismissal from our property WITHOUT A REFUND. Please know that the person who books the house, must be present during the stay, as we DO NOT accept third party bookings.
We take great pride in our rental and renovated it with our guests in mind! Please take care of it as we would!
