Private Waterfront Retreat: Escape the Crowds. Reconnect with Nature - Grandy

Escape the crowds. Slow down. Reconnect with nature.

Welcome to The Currituck Cottage, a private waterfront escape on the peaceful Currituck Sound where panoramic views of open water, coastal wildlife, and the quiet beauty of nature are part of every day.

This is not the typical Outer Banks beach house.

Here, mornings begin with the sun rising over the sound. Herons and other wildlife move through the surrounding wetlands. The breeze carries across the water. Grill dinner and eat outside with the sound as your backdrop. Stretch out in the hammock. Listen to the frogs in the evening. Watch the weather roll across the water. Evenings are quieter, the stars shine brighter, and there is finally time to put your phone down and simply enjoy where you are.

Located in Grandy, NC, The Currituck Cottage is a fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat that comfortably sleeps up to 7 guests. It is the perfect place for families, couples, friends, anglers, birdwatchers, photographers, kayakers, golfers, and anyone searching for a peaceful escape with easy access to the Outer Banks.

Inside, the spacious sunroom provides one of the best places in the home to enjoy the scenery. Gather around the large dining table for meals, play games with family, work remotely with a view, or simply sit back and watch the landscape change throughout the day. Outside, the covered waterfront deck invites you to slow down.

EXPLORE, OR DO NOTHING AT ALL

Bring your kayak and explore nearby waters. Pack your binoculars and see how many species you can spot. Bring your fishing gear, camera, golf clubs, or paddleboard.

Or bring absolutely nothing but a good book.

The Currituck Cottage is equally suited for adventure and relaxation. There is no schedule here—unless you want one.

Nearby activities include:
• The beach
• Kayaking and canoeing
• Boating
• Fishing and crabbing
• Birdwatching
• Wildlife photography
• Swimming
• Golfing
• Seasonal duck hunting
• Exploring the beaches of Corolla, Duck, Kitty Hawk, and beyond

The property's waterfront setting and surrounding wetlands create a particularly special experience for nature lovers and photographers. Every season brings something different, and every day on the sound can look completely different from the one before.

We had a great time. Pictures of the property were exactly as listed. Very clean! Right on the Currituck sound and close to all the beaches in OBX. Only small complaint was the neighbor dog pooping in the yard every morning and barking at the door.

It was clear that the hosts put a lot of thought into every detail to make guests feel welcome.The location was perfect, making it easy to explore the area while still enjoying a peaceful retreat.

The property is a lovely, quiet destination where you can relax and enjoy beautiful scenery. This is a a nature-lover’s delight as you can marvel at waterfront sunrise/sunsets, bird watch, fish, and cruise around on your kayaks (and that’s just at the property — Kitty Hawk beach is an easy 30 ride away). The renovations throughout and ample room sizes makes this an excellent choice for families. My husband and I plan to buy a set of those Turkish Cotton towels! They were an added bonus after a nice shower!! Highly recommended!! We would visit again.
