About this property

Relax at this beautiful Historic Intracoastal Waterlily Cottage + Game Room

Waterlily Cottage is a charming sunny 3 bedroom Intracoastal home featuring much of the original cottage character coupled with updated conveniences like central air conditioning and heat in the cottage, dishwasher, washer and dryer, brand new bathroom, and more.

The open living and dining rooms have beautiful water views. The first floor bedroom has a King bed and a side view of the Intracoastal waterway. The second bedroom located on the second floor has a Queen bed and a dedicated work desk with outlets and usb ports for work/studying and overlooks the Intracoastal waterway.

The cottage is the perfect place to unwind and watch the yachts cruise up the Intracoastal, enjoy a game of pool, darts, or PacMan, Golden Tee and Fast and Furious arcade games in the Game Room, fish from the backyard shoreline, sit around the fire pit, stretch out on the couch and stream movies/watch one of the DVDs provided, or put your boat/kayaks/jet skis in the water from the public boat ramp located 1 mile away.

Perfect little cottage for our family of 5

We knew we wanted to explore all OBX had to offer so we selected this property and it was the perfect cottage for our needs and teens. A great game room for the teens too! Quiet, quaint and clean cottage; the host was very accommodating and communicated to make sure our stay was every we hoped it would be. A+

Wonderful cottage for the family near the Outer Banks

Ritta was great to communicate with, the cottage and game room was clean, well appointed and kept the family entertained at night. The cottage is cozy and has coastal vibes. Overall, this is a great value and will provide positive experience for anyone visiting the Outer Banks area.

Great place

We had a wonderful trip and stay at this beautiful cottage. Ritta provided everything we needed as well as suggestions for things to do in the area. Our “children” (ages 16,18 &21) loved the game room and the bedroom space upstairs. The fire pit was great and morning coffee on the screened-in porch was a great treat!

Relaxing Getaway

Our family of two adults and two teens really enjoyed our long weekend getaway at this adorable and comfortable cottage!! We were able to visit the beach in Kitty Hawk easily, have smores by the water, play in the game room, and curl up for movie nights. It was exactly what we needed before the school year got busy. Thank you for the fabulous communication, thoughtful touches in the home, and super comfortable beds!!

Cozy and quiet

From booking to checkout, the property owner was so reachable and communicative. We chose this spot to be away from the crowded areas, but close enough to be able to do all the fun stuff that OBX has to offer. The calm of the passing boats, relaxing firepit, meticulously clean home and ultra entertaining game house were the highlights. We were able to take advantage of the game room at night when it was cooler and the boys couldn't figure out a game that wasn't offered! Ritta provided so many listings for activities and restaurants that saved me so much research time beforehand. Thank you again for sharing your home and giving us the opportunity for this much needed getaway!

Very relaxing quiet and clean cottage. The neighbor was extremely nice .

Our experience with the cottage and property manager was wonderful. Everything was as expected and even more. Very clean and neat. This was a very nice quiet location and peaceful stay. The next door neighbor was very helpful with local places to eat so we did not have to spend an arm and a leg.

Cute house, great host!

The property was really cute and full of interesting history. The real gem was the owner, though. Ritta was so helpful with everything - from sending us lists of activities to calling me about cooling down the game room. We ended up just chatting for about 20 min!

Beautiful Setting and Cottage

Our family of five absolutely adored our stay at this lovely cottage! The space was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed watching peaceful boats pass by on the canal right at the edge of the yard. The location offered plenty to do with easy access to the Outer Banks Islands. Ritta shared many sites and locally enjoyed locations for us to consider. We will absolutely stay here again if we travel this way!

Amazing vacation home

The house was beautiful, clean and in a great location. Close enough to the beaches, water park and lots of eating and shopping near by. But, far enough away to enjoy the quiet family time too. The owner was very helpful in answering questions as well as recommending things to do near by. Very quick to respond to my messages. We have already discussed our trip there next year and making sure we stay at this house again.

About the host

Hosted by Ritta Cunningham

Host profile image
Our family is a busy one with college and high school students both playing sports. When we getaway we want to relax and slow down. We love the mountains and the beach. We split our time between this cottage and our condo at Wintergreen, VA.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this cottage the minute I saw it! It is so romantic and serene. We enjoy rocking in the screened in porch or relaxing by the fire pit in the rustic chairs built by my Dad. Everything about this home reminds me of family and what's important about life- enjoying the moment. I still get a thrill everytime a huge yacht cruises by or a humming bird stops to drink from the hostas.

What makes this property unique

Being along the Intracoastal is such a unique experience! Coinjock is rural enough, yet there are delicious food establishments close by and the OBX beaches and the hustle and bustle are only 30 minutes away.
