    This cottage belonged to my grandmother and I have many memories sitting around her red kitchen table. I hope you and your loved ones create fun and forever lasting memories around that same red kitchen table when you stay at The Birds and the Bees.

    We love dogs and know that taking them along on vacation is a must sometimes. I allow one dog with a $75 non refundable charge .I sometimes make exceptions for an additional smaller dog, but please ask first . PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE PET FEE IN YOUR RESERVATIONS.

    Our yard is not fenced but we have plenty of room to walk in the back yard . If they've played at the beach, I have provided special towels for your dog to dry them after they're rinsed off from the hose we provide on the deck. Please no dogs on the furniture and bed and PLEASE clean up after your dog in the yard.. Thank you for loving your doggies and we hope they have a great time too. Feel free to ask any questions about our policy. ALSO A NATURE TRAIL THAT I HAVE PICTURED BOTH IN MY PHOTOS.

Perfect beach getaway

Holli’s cottage was so warm and welcoming! The location is just a short hop to very convenient public beach parking. She has the most thoughtful accommodations to be able to spend vacay with your dog as well! She was easy to reach if needed and gave wonderful recommendations for local favorite restaurants/breweries. Our stay couldn’t have been better!

Very nice place

The cottage was very clean, nicely furnished, and well-appointed (beds, linens, towels, kitchen, etc.). The only drawback for us was the passing vehicle noise as the cottage is situated just a few yards from a busy road. This apparently has not been an issue for majority of guests so maybe just us. Host(s) were great communicators and have done everything "within their power" to provide a wonderful stay.

Cute and Cozy

This home was cute and cozy for our short getaway! A lot of thought was put into this vaycation home in terms of everything you needed to be comfortable. We loved the pet amenities provided that made it easy to travel with our pup! The only thing to be careful with is getting in and out of the driveway. The house is located on a road where there are blind spots to get onto the main road, and cars go well above the speeding limit! I know that is not the owners fault, but the city should change something about this.

Vintage charm

Holli’s family property was absolutely adorable and the fact that it has been in her family since the 50s and still has the family’s kitchen table just adds to the charm. It is a quick and easy drive to the beach and the lot is wooded and private. Holli was an amazing hostess. She was quick to offer suggestions for restaurants and easy to follow directions for check in. Holli keeps the house equipped the great extras like cotton swabs, body washes, dog shampoos and other things too. Holli also responded so quickly to questions. We were struggling with how to use the AC, and even in the middle of the night, she still responded. We have already shared her listing with friends, and I’m sure we will stay again. Thank you Holli for a great spring break getaway.

The cottage was as described, we came in for a wedding with a senior dog and this place hit the mark, and then some. There ain't a fenced yard but that did matter, there is plenty of room to walk them outside. The home is older but well kept and clean! Cute spot off of the main drag, which is really nice and conveniently close to all the things OBX has to offer!
