This is our 2nd time staying at the Captains Hideout. Both very positive experiences. The owner is very responsive and gives great info of the area and the house. Everything you could need is there, minus the food. Looking forward to another relaxing vacation.

House was clean, cute and nice location. Description is accurate. Neighborhood is very quiet.Parking was great. Bikes provided were nice to ride to local restaurants, businesses, pier and beach. Too windy this week to use the SUP's. Private beach area and view of the sound was great. Also the covered deck was enjoyable for us and our pups, used frequently.

Best sunset on the island!

Captains Cove is a beautiful home with a comfortable yet chic decor. The wrap around deck is filled with plants and flowers so every nook is inviting. Karen is a kind and generous host having lots of items in the home you often find you need but forget when you arrive. Our family of three and two pups can’t wait to return!

OBX family vacation

We had a great time and found this property to be perfect for our family of 3 and dog. We really enjoyed the sunset views over the sound, open floor plan and two master suites this property offered. It was an easy drive to local beaches and restaurants allowing us to find the right balance of relaxation and adventure. We’re already planning our return trip!

Wonderful vacation!

We so enjoyed our stay. The house is very nice and tastefully decorated. We loved the walk in shower upstairs. Perfect house if you have pups as there is a gated wraparound porch and a fenced in area in the back yard. The neighborhood is quiet and great for evening walks. The private beach is so cool! We even had a fire in the fire pit one night. Truly a special house. Sunsets were amazing. Hope to return next year.

Perfect home!

We have vacationed in OBX many times, probably around 10X. Our son & family were also vacationing in the area but we wanted our own space. Captain’s Hideout was absolutely perfect. The interior is beautifully furnished, the amenities superior, the location exactly what we wanted. Can’t say enough good about the outdoor decks & the yard. Perfect for our elderly dog. Truly appreciate the landscaping.
