CAPTAINS QUARTERS - AN ALL INCLUSIVE VACATION RENTAL LOCATED IN SOUTHERN SHORES!
Tucked away behind mature olive trees on a sandy corner lot in convenient "Southern Shores", this traditional beach box is only 300 yards or a 5 minute straight walk to the beach. Captains Quarters is 1000 square feet of practical and inviting vintage nautical charm, everything a small family needs on just one level for an affordable price. Custom tree-top decking offers private yet casual outside relaxing and dining, even a captain's look-out wth glimpses of ocean blue between rooflines. Below the cottage, thoughtful amenities include the compact carport, 2-stall beach shower, deluxe fish cleaning station with sink, full laundry, and a decked beach staging area with bench. Guests at Captains Quarters will have private access to outstanding ocean and soundside community amenities, including a secondary "family-friendly" beach park that features ample private parking, showers & jons, picnic area & fishing pond. Our guests will also have access to a private soundside park with optimal sunset and waterfowl views, a soundside marina with boat launch, and some outstanding bike trails that network the entire area. Captains Quarters is located less than 3 miles south of the memorable destination of Duck central, home to lots of popular dining, shopping, world class spas and watersports. A lighted crosswalk at the corner of Dolphin Run provides safer access to the beach 24/7. Captains Quarters features direct property access to bike /foot paths, enabling our guests to stay as active and well connected as they want to be, yet have a central and cozy spot to retreat. Three beach comber style bikes will be available for use. Parking in the circular drive is ample for up to three vehicles, or two with a boat trailer. The half acre property is fully naturalized, but offers a side yard space conducive to horse shoes or cornhole play.

We had a great time staying here! Minutes from the beach and a nice quiet area. The house is great and we really appreciated the beach gear like umbrellas and chairs that were available.We would definitely stay here again
We always enjoy our stay at Dolphin’s Run! Great location, terrific hosts, and the perfect getaway! It’s the most cozy and inviting place to enjoy some much needed downtime and family time! It’s also just a few minutes walk to the beach with a lot of restaurants and shops just a short drive away! Thanks again for a wonderful week!
Our stay at Captain's Quarters was beyond awesome! The renter was so friendly and accommodating and answered all of our questions promptly. Just a short walk to the beach and a quick drive to a private access beach with lifeguard on duty, the location of Captain's Quarters was perfect.
We enjoyed a very comfortable stay at Captain's Quarters. It is close to the beach and had everything we needed, including a skim board! The property manager provided us with all the essentials. Thank you!!
This clean, pleasant property, with it’s nautical theme, outfitted nicely offers everything you need to enjoy a vacation on the outer banks.
From fishing gear, beach toys, and bicycles to explore, it has it all!
We all loved the house, it was homey and reminded us of our favorite aunt’s home. Very well stocked with basic necessities and ice cold water to drink upon our arrival. The only negative thing is when it rains the stairs are slick.
We had a great week at Captain’s quarters. Our family with two preschool age kids greatly appreciated that the house was stocked with more than enough paper products, soaps, towels and bedding, way more than any rental I’ve seen. The walk to the beach was extremely easy with two small kids and the house included everything for the beach we needed (umbrella, wagon, toys, chairs, etc.). There was ample outdoor space and the living space was nice and open. Although it’s a 1.5 bath, the half bath was so large, we could use it for storing toiletries and it felt like a second full bath. The house was very clean (and I’m very picky!) We fell in love with Southern Shores and will definitely be back!
Stayed for a full week with spouse and two kids. The home is nice for a small family. Best features include the cleanliness and location. It really was a short 5 minute walk to the beach that never seemed too busy even during peak vacation season. We liked that it was within bike distance to Duck and to grocery stores and a fun escape room. We rode bikes to avoid the heavy traffic days on Friday and Saturday. Otherwise, it seems in the middle of alot of sight seeing options. Horses 45 minutes north, Pea Island and Roanoke 45 minutes south. Crabbing and fishing at a nearby community marina.
The house is like a time capsule from the 1980's, which was actually fun and nostalgic to us young gen x folks. Right down to a Tupperware kool aid container. The entire time we felt like we were staying in a great aunt or nana's beach house. Immaculate and well stocked with everything you needed for a week at the beach. Including bikes, wagon, beach toys and umbrellas.
The AC worked well, tv's in all the rooms, plenty of hot water. No complaints, would stay here again.
Our family of four had a wonderful stay at the Captain's Quarters. Comfy, clean, and lots of nice extra touches. Beach access was close (0.2 mile) and straightforward. We'll definitely consider this home for future trips to OBX and would recommend it to anyone looking for a high-value stay in Southern Shores.
Loved it here. Don't be fooled by is vintage appearance (which was my favorite part)! I grew up on the SE coast and this house has all the original charm of the beach!
Unbelievably clean and stocked out of this world! Super quick walk to the beach too, never over crowded! Highly recommend!
Great access to the beach, all the beach gear we needed (including a wagon!), most of the kitchen items necessary (a good kitchen knife would’ve come in handy) and a great price. The owners were quick to respond and went out of their way to help us have a good stay. Many thanks!
Exactly as described. So many extras like bikes, beach equipment, etc. We really enjoyed our stay, a short walk to the beach. The house was clean when we arrived, AC worked perfectly, loved the beachy decorations, really made it feel like home.
It was a perfect stay for my little family! Just a few minutes walk until your toes are in the sand. It was in close proximity to everything you would need… grocery store, restaurants, and surrounding towns. It also had some fun trails around that my husband and kids explored by bike and scooter. They rode to the little town of Duck one day. The place was perfectly cozy, clean, and well stocked! Communication with the owners was great. We had such a wonderful time we already booked another stay!
We had a short family vacation. We enjoyed the house. There are three good-sized bedrooms, a nice living area, and a well supplied kitchen. The house is extremely clean. The house is right on Rt 12 but surrounded by trees so you don’t see the highway. The back yard is wooded and private and there are several decks. It is a very easy short walk to the beach.
Absolutely wonderful and welcoming seaside home!! Very clean and comfortable environment. A short walk to the private beach, not crowded and beautiful sunsets and sunrises!! Great place to shore fish, minigolf and see the National Park’s Wright brother’s museum,,, and centrally located to great dining and shopping,,, close to Nag’s head pier!!! We had beautiful weather and sunshine every day!! Looking forward to returning next year, hopefully!! Even saw a deer in the private back yard!!
