Imagine waking up with the morning rays of sunlight streaming across your face. You sleepily blink and look over at the beckoning coffeemaker on the counter of the tiny kitchen. In the distance, you can hear the shwroosh of ocean waves breaking against the sand as seagulls cry in unison. Welcome to an Outer Banks cottage court. Think of these little cottages as apartments or small rental houses. They typically have two or three bedrooms, a kitchen area, bathrooms and a living area. The cozy sizes are great for small families, honeymooners or even just a couple of fishing partners. If your Outer Banks cottage court has a porch, you’re in for a treat! Relax on the outdoor deck as you watch the cottage court world pass by or gaze upon the ocean or sound as it reflects the sparkling sunlight. Browse through our below listings’ descriptions to learn about the different amenities each Outer Banks cottage court offers, and start planning your stay on the Outer Banks.
