About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

🌅Sunset Season Getaway + Special Welcome Treat for You and Your Pup 🐶

A little extra welcome awaits you and your best friend at Captain’s Hideout. Enjoy a peaceful Outer Banks escape with soundfront sunsets, relaxing walks by the ocean, and a comfortable retreat where your dog is truly part of the vacation. Book your stay and we’ll welcome you with a local treat for you — plus a special surprise for your pup. Because the best memories are made when everyone is together.

Captain’s Hideout is a peaceful, dog-friendly, owner-managed waterfront home in quiet Avon Village. With a private sandy soundfront beach, wraparound decks, and gorgeous sunset views over the Pamlico Sound, it’s an easy place to relax, recharge, reconnect and truly get away.
Wake up to shimmering water views from your king suite, sip morning coffee on the deck, spend the day exploring Hatteras Islands many ocean beaches, museums, gift shops art markets, or, sunning and simply unwinding in the hammock under the oaks. The beach is just steps from the house—no long walks with chairs or gear.
Inside, you’ll find a clean, well-stocked, modern-rustic home with all essentials provided: made beds, towels, beach towels, detergent, kitchen staples, and a fully equipped kitchen. Outdoors enjoy SUP boards, bikes, beach chairs, a fire pit, and a quiet residential setting with wildlife and endless sunsets.
You’re close to grocery stores, restaurants, shops, and the Avon Fishing Pier—yet far enough to feel like you’ve escaped. Guests love how peaceful, clean, and comfortable everything is… and most say they can’t wait to come back.

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!
