We enjoyed our vacation in this nice, well equipped house in an awesome neighborhood just steps from the beach! The location was close enough to everything but still felt secluded and provided for the relaxation we were looking for. There was no public parking at the beach entrance nearest the home so there was plenty of open space on the beach. We had a terrific time and would certainly look at this home again for future trips!

This house was perfect for our family of 6. It's an easy walk to the beach. That walk is made even easier by the provided beach cart. Several chairs, boogie boards, sand toys and umbrellas are provided too. Additionally there was corn hole and ladderball. The internet was fast, the beds comfortable and it's proximity to the local activities are a plus. It's an easy walk to Awful Arthur's and the pier. If I had to pick something as a negative, the area under the couch needs cleaned. Theres plenty of outdoor seating as well. From the porch to the two sitting areas under the house, no matter the weather, you can be outside. Check in was super easy as was check out. I highly recommend.

When checking to make sure none of our personal property was under the bed or couches prior to checking out, we discovered enough food to feed an army under the couch. Lots of dust under the beds and the curtains need washed as the amount of dust on them is quite noticeable. The sofa is very uncomfortable to sit on and hard to get off of.
Many of the dishes are chipped and they are not good dishes to have at a place like this. They are very heavy. Cabinet storage is rather cluttered. The knives were not sharp and there was only one spatula. There was only one dishcloth as well, but several dish towels.
I think the caretaker could exercise a little more pride in preparing it for guests. Very dusty. On a positive note, the king bed was very comfortable. The outdoor rinse shower was great. The beach supplies were nice. Having a second refrigerator was great also. The lounge area under the cottage was very nice. The distance to the beach was fantastic.
The owner was very pleasant to work with and helpful!!
This was our first time staying at a VRBO and overall it wasn’t a bad experience. I just prefer it to be cleaner and better kitchen necessities.
Thank you.

Everything was great and we had a great time. Only recommendation would be that the front door is very hard to open. It was our first time at The Outer Banks and we will definitely be back. Your neighbors were very nice as well!!

The cottage was great. It was in excellent shape and we had a wonderful time. It's in a great location as we went to almost all of the major attractions on the Outer Banks from Corolla to Hatteras.

We're a family of five. The house accommodated all of us comfortably and was a great place to stay. We were within close driving distance to everything anybody could want.
The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the ocean is practically across the street.
We will look for this house to stay in again!

The house was decorated really well. It felt and looked clean. It is missing a dishwasher but with just 2 of us staying there for a few days, it didn't really matter. The location and price were just perfect! The floors and style of the decor were so well done. It felt cozy and clean!

This was a great little cottage near the oceanfront and pier. The neighbors we chatted with were great and the house had everything we needed. It was a nice relaxing place to just a block from the ocean.

The house was exactly like the pictures, clean and tidy. Older place with upgrades (nice floors!), beach decorations but not overdone. Great location, a quick walk to the beach. Enjoyed the visit!

We had a great stay at the property. We had a change in the number of guests a couple weeks before our rental and reach out the owner/property manager and they were very responsive and helpful. With that being said, we had a very full house of adults and kids. The house was perfect for us, especially with the two bathrooms.
The place was very clean upon arrival and everything was as expected. There was plenty of closet space in the bedrooms with a couple of hangers and plastic drawer storage bin in each closet. The one thing I think the place needs is a hall tree or hooks for hanging coats/hats in the main area. Or just more hooks in general.
While the place was clean upon arrival, we like to keep the place clean during our stay. I just wish their were more cleaning products or a better vaccum to use during our stay.
There is a great outside shower with hot water that was a must for washing off all the sand after a day at the beach, especially for the little kids.
The house was equiped with everything you need for a day at the beach. You just need to bring your beach towel and cooler.
The beach was a short walking distance and the beach access is right at the end of the street. Our only issue with the beach was how strong the surf was. There were times were not comfortable with letting our 5, 6, and 7 year olds (who are all great swimmers) past their ankles. This is not a beach where you can relax on the shoreline while your kids are in the water, We found we had to contantly be in arms reach of them at all times. The waves break on the shoreline and there were even some barrel waves breaking on the shoreline. I will preface this with the fact that we are from Massachusetts and are use to a calmer surf and waves not breaking on the shoreline so I do not know if this is normal for the NC coast. The beach was always clean and the life guards are present. There were some jellyfish in the water, but they did not appear to have tentacles and there were not enough to impact swimming. The water was very clean and no issue with seaweed. The weather was great the entire week.
The location of the house is really great. It is close to a lot of attractions, grocery stores, and restaurants. We climb the Bodie Lighthouse, did a ropes/zipline course, played mini golf, visited the aquarium, visited Grave Digger Monster trucks, and road go-karts. Everything was less than a 30 minute drive.
Overall it was a great place and vacation!

We arrived at check in and it was a smooth check in process. The house, location everything was perfect. We immediately took a walk to the beach which it literally 4 houses off the beach entrance and a skip from the Avalon pier. The house was cozy and perfect for our little family. We will definitely be back!

Tommy Tautog's cottage provided a comfortable stay for a birthday get-away, and any length of time is never enough when having a good time.
I like the communication one receives with welcoming, information, reminders, and imparting exit thoughts with this rental.
I loved the Caretakers Lisa and Mike in response time when phoned. Their patience in listening, their calmness in resolving a personal not house issue quickly, and their personable, friendly attitude.
To our Host Amy, the 1970's cottage is comfortable. We did a little TLC for about 20 minutes, and nothing I wouldn't do in my house. Oh, we loved the Keurig coffee machine which we didn't realize in the amenities. Appreciated the starter items. Bed linens and bath towels are professionally cleaned which confirmed our rental decision. Beds are comfortable, and good showers with hot water.
The cottage photo shows parking below which some rentals do not have. There is also a water hose which was used to wash the car!

Everything was great until we got home from dinner on the first night
and a cockroach went scurrying across the kitchen counter . The next morning I woke up to one on the wall next to the nightstand , two more watching tv that night in the living room . I dropped my ring on the bedroom floor and it rolled under the bed , it was disgusting ! I don’t think they ever cleaned under there ! The place was nice but needs a little TLC

Tommy Tautogs was a great place for our family to experience the Outer Banks! As fellow short term rental hosts, we have high standards, and we are pleased to report that Amy, her caretakers and cleaning crew did not disappoint! The house has a quaint
beachy cottage feel to it--perfect for our family of 4. The location is perfect... Just a short, easy walk to the beach and the house is located in a quiet, family friendly stretch of road. We enjoyed watching the sun rise, surf fishing and castle building. Everything you might need for a day at the beach is provided, including a cart to haul all the fun easily to the shore! The location of Kill Devil Hills was fun and convenient. We could easily shop for groceries, and it took just a 20-30 minute drive north or south to get us off the beaten path! We are so grateful for the hospitality and highly recommend!

We have two little ones (3.5 and 20 months) and it was perfect for our family. Short walk to the beach and nice neighborhood. The house had all we needed and liked having a washer and dryer. We are already planning our trip for next year.
5.0
The check in was painless, a welcome relief after 14 hours of driving. The cottage was very clean (and I have VERY high standards)and well maintained, we didn't run into any issues during our stay. I did reach out to the owner and manager a couple time with questions, response was quick, courteous and professional.
Location couldn't be better. I counted 180 steps from the driveway to the beach access, which is right at the end of the road. Very quiet street, very well rated spa a few hundred feet away, local coffee places are within a 5 minute walk. We were all very happy with our stay and will definitely go back.
