Description

New to Seaside for 2024!
Unique Bohemian Cottage Near the Beach!

The Badger Cottage is the ultimate Outer Banks beach retreat located in Southern Shores, less than a mile from the beach! Spend your days surrounded by calming bohemian chic decor and your evenings relaxing in the warm, bubbly Hot Tub after a day by the sea. You’re also going to love the multiple decks for fresh ocean air and the Screened-In Porch for al fresco dining - no matter the weather! With 4 Bedrooms, 4.5 Bathrooms, and a convenient elevator, The Badger Cottage is the perfect place for the whole family. With vintage decor and a truly ethereal minimalist interior, a stay at The Badger Cottage is like no other.

When you pull up to this beautiful home covered in delicate ivy and adorned with brilliant wooden accents, you'll know that your Outer Banks vacation, away from the world, is ready to begin. On the Ground Level, you’ll find a cozy Den with a Daybed that is great for extra sleeping space as well as a Wet Bar with a Full SMEG-Brand Refrigerator, a vintage-style microwave, and retro decor for extra privacy and anytime vintage-inspired snacking. Take in the brightly-colored decor and the vintage books around as you find yourself ready to retreat in a whole new world all your own. A King Bedroom with access to a Full Bathroom (with shower stall) keeps everyone comfortable and offers plenty of room to relax nearby. Step outside onto the Covered Porch or meander around the beautifully wooded backyard with wooden tree swings for a truly ethereal experience. Meanwhile, the Garage is filled with everything you need for your vacation! From Bikes to Beach Chairs to an additional Refrigerator, you’ll never find yourself wanting when you stay at The Badger Cottage. Step right onto the Elevator for easy access to the rest of the house or head outside where a large backyard awaits. The Gas Grill Grill is perfect for whipping up some fresh local seafood during your stay. And since you’re just a 2-minute drive from the Hillcrest Beach Access, make everyday a beach day! And rinse off in the Enclosed Outdoor Shower before heading inside.

Make your way upstairs to the Second Level and you’ll find three more bedrooms for your family’s ultimate relaxation destination. Find your peace in one of the two King Master Bedrooms, each with their own private bathrooms and elegant, modern minimalist decor. One boasts a shower/tub combo while the other offers a spacious, tiled oversized shower for a truly luxurious experience. The third bedroom is great for families with kids with a Queen Bed and a nearby Bunk Bed and access to a Private Covered Deck overlooking the backyard for quiet cups of coffee in the early morning. Make your way through the largest King Master Bedroom and relax in style outside on the Deck with a cozy Hammock that’s perfect for curling up with your favorite beach read and a warm, bubbly Hot Tub for soothing your muscles after a day at the beach. The Laundry Area on this floor also ensures clean clothes for the week without taking up too much space in your luggage while the Laundry Area offers plenty of space for your bags and shoes.

When you’re really ready to relax, take the Elevator up to the Top Level for lots of sunlight, high cathedral ceilings, and cozy furniture and bohemian decor that is sure to whisk you away to a world all your own. You will find yourself immersed completely in the brilliant minimalist decor and vintage style to give you the chance to experience a truly unique experience. Watch your favorite shows on the large Flat Screen TV or relax in the sunny reading nook surrounded by windows beneath a domed ceiling. The exquisite modern Kitchen with stone counters and a gas range offers everything you need to whip up something delicious for the whole family to enjoy in the nearby Dining Area, which boasts beautiful wooden blinds and plenty of sunshine filtering in from the backyard. Or, if you’re looking for some fresh air, the Screened-In Porch promises al fresco dining safe from the elements as you overlook the truly ethereal wooded area of the backyard! This home is beautiful like no other, with vintage decor and a tantalizing mini-bar setup to keep you comfortable and relaxed during your stay. Book your stay at The Badger Cottage for more than just a vacation, but an experience.

Enjoy a Small Coastal Town
Visitors to Southern Shores love this small, coastal town where you can enjoy quiet, unobstructed beaches while still being within close proximity to local shops and restaurants. A few miles down the road, A Walmart Supercenter, Food Lion, and Harris Teeter are available for all your supply and grocery needs. Pick up a delicious dinner to-go from Southern Shores Pizza and don’t forget to swing by Crumbl to buy a fresh box of cookies for dessert! For a fun adventure, you and your friends can try escaping from one of the exciting rooms at OBXscape. You could also head north to Corolla to explore the 4x4 beaches and maybe catch a glimpse of the wild mustangs or head south to Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head where your family will be able to enjoy local attractions like the Wright Brothers Memorial, Jockey’s Ridge, the Bodie Island Lighthouse and Jennette’s Pier, just to name a few! No matter where you go or how you spend your Outer Banks vacation, a stay at this lovely property guarantees you’ll have the vacation of a lifetime.

FAQ

What do all the different locations mean?

There are two (2) roads running north/south on the Outer Banks. The "Beach Road" (NC 12) is a 2-lane road with a speed limit of 35 MPH. The "Bypass" (US 158) is a 5-lane road with speed limits 45-50 MPH. 

 

Please note: The Bypass is incredibly busy during the summer season on the Outer Banks. Seaside Vacations advises our guests to please take safety precautions when traveling on the Bypass. If you must cross the Bypass on foot, please make sure to do so at designated pedestrian crosswalks - never using the center turn lane as a stopping point.

 

Oceanfront - An oceanfront home has no homes or buildable lots located between it and the ocean. The distance between the home and the ocean may vary. 

 

Semi-Oceanfront - Semi-oceanfront homes are located one lot back from the ocean and may or may not require crossing the road. Children always will need assistance to cross any road. The rental may or may not have a home between it and the beach. The distance to the water, beach accesses, and views vary.  

 

Oceanside - These homes are located east of Highway 158. These homes have two or more homes between them and the ocean. These homes may or may not require crossing a road, and may or may not have an ocean view. The distance to the ocean varies. 

 

Soundside - These homes are located west of Highway 158 from Southern Shores to Nags Head and west of Highway 12 from Southern Shores to Corolla. The distance to the sound and views vary. Some homes may not have direct access to the sound (soundside homes in the village of Duck do not have direct access to the sound).  

 

Soundfront - These properties front the sound with no homes or lots in between. The distance to the sound, access to the sound and the view vary. Sunsets can be gorgeous! 

Do you offer any travel insurance? 

We offer travel insurance through Red Sky Travel Insurance. We highly recommend a travel insurance plan, especially since the Outer Banks is so prone to hurricanes. The travel insurance plan is priced affordably and covers a variety of issues that could impact your vacation should unforeseen circumstances occur. As they say on TV, “Life comes at you fast.” Most notably would be a mandatory evacuation due to a hurricane. Here are a few other things covered by travel insurance: sickness, injury or death of you or a family member, business partner, or traveling companion, the insured’s principal residence being made uninhabitable by fire, flood, vandalism, or burglary, involuntary termination of employment, military duty, etc.

 

If you would like to have specific questions answered, please call RedSky Travel Insurance at (866) 889-7409 or visit www.suntrippreserver.com (policy coverage information).

 

Remember, in order to have coverage due to a named hurricane, a travel insurance plan cannot be added after a tropical storm becomes a “named hurricane.” We tell you this because it could be very costly to wait. You would have to contact Red Sky Travel Insurance for specific details.

Do I have to pay any taxes on my rental? 

Unfortunately, the tax man doesn’t take vacations. Obviously, we do not set the tax rates and we only collect the taxes for the county. If your rental home is in Currituck County (Corolla), the tax is 12.75%. If your home is in Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, or Nags Head, the tax is 12.75%.

I don’t see rates for next year. When will these be available?

We publish rates for the following year in spring/summer of the current year. You may reserve the home by paying the first half of the rent or by setting up payments with our Vacation Layaway ProgramIf you don't see rates or availability for a home online yet, give us a call and we can place a hold on the home for you. 

What/where is Club Seaside?

Club Seaside is an exclusive program consisting of complimentary events and discounts on popular Outer Banks activities that are exclusive to Seaside Vacations guests. Click on Club Seaside to obtain more information including schedules, contact information and to make reservations for each activity.

*Some events include a small fee.

Are linens and towels provided? 

Linens and towels are provided for ALL of the homes in our vacation rental home program. 

 

Towel sets are also provided. There are enough towel sets for the number the house sleeps.

 

One bath towel, one hand towel and one washcloth per person is provided. The towels and linens are placed on each bed in the home. One bath mat per bathroom is also provided. (Towels are not freshened daily.) Two potholders, one dish towel, and one dishcloth are provided and are placed on the kitchen counter prior to your arrival.

 

We do offer extra sets of both towels and linens at an additional charge. For prices and to place an order, contact a Vacation Specialist at (866) 884-0267.

 

Please Note: Beds are not made prior to your arrival. Linens are provided for them and are placed on their respective beds. 

Does my property have internet access and how is the WiFi? 

Most of our properties do offer internet access. Please check your property's website description to determine what type of internet service (if any) is available. If your home doesn’t provide this service, there are many free WiFi hotspots all over the Outer Banks. 

 

Wifi is normally very good, however, being in a remote area there are occasional unexpected outages. In those events, we will do everything in our power to get service restored as quickly as possible, but we would recommend bringing a hotspot as a backup plan if wifi is a necessity for your family.

 

Below is the lowest broadband speed for Dare County's internet providers:

 

Spectrum: 50MB
Century Link: 10MB

What are your policies on bringing a pet? 

Most dog friendly homes allow two (2) mature, house-trained dogs (75-pound limit). Dogs are not allowed in any rental home unless otherwise indicated. Cats and other animals are not permitted. A $160 fee (plus tax) per dog per week is added to the rental amount. Dogs (and any other animal) are not allowed in pools, hot tubs or spas. Tenants are responsible for any damage incurred by their dog, as this type of damage is not covered under our Security Deposit Waiver Fee. Owners of dogs at non-dog homes will be subject to a $200 unauthorized pet fee and may be evicted without a refund. 

Please be aware that all of our beaches have leash laws.

Our vacation home has a pool. Can we have the pool heated? 

Pool heat is available with some of our homes typically between April-June and September-October. There is an additional charge for pool heat and this charge varies by home.

 

Please remember that most pool heaters will only heat the water 5 to 8 degrees above the outside air temperatures. For example, if the air temperature is only 60 degrees, the pool water will likely be no warmer than 68 degrees. Pool heat does not give a “hot tub” effect, it merely prolongs the pool swimming season.

What time is check-in? 

Please know that we want to get all of our guests into their vacation home as soon as we can. Our check-in time begins at 5:00 p.m., as the houses become available and are released by Housekeeping and Maintenance. We will be happy to check you in as soon as the cleaners/inspectors give us the "OK." Again, please know that our goal is to get you on your way, enjoying your vacation, as soon as we can.

I have keyless entry. Do I still have to come to the office?

Our keyless entry service allows you to go straight to the home on check-in day, any time after 5:00 p.m.! In addition, when checking out, you may head straight home (skipping our office).

Do you offer early check-in? 

We do offer early check-in for homes with 1-5 bedrooms, but we do have a limited number available each week. Please call us and request an early check-in at least one week in advance. The cost for early check-in is $125, plus tax. Early check-in is at 2:00 p.m. Unfortunately, we cannot offer this service on homes with 6 or more bedrooms.  

What are your check-out cleaning requirements?

Check-out is at 9:00 a.m. on the day of departure. Cleaning crews arrive at the home at 9:00 a.m.; your prompt departure is appreciated. 

All keys are to be returned to our office upon departure. (Keyless entry guests do not have to stop by the office to check out).

Please leave the home tidy by completing the following items:

  • Remove only the fitted/flat sheets from all beds and leave them piled at the foot of the bed
  • Clean out the refrigerator and leave the refrigerator/freezer settings on medium
  • Place all trash in the cans provided or in a nearby dumpster. Move trash cans/recycle bins to the edge of the street the night before you leave. Make sure all trash is placed INSIDE of the cans, or the trash will not be picked up (Pick-up is done prior to dawn.)

Can you drive on the beach in the Outer Banks? 

Beach driving is allowed on several places in the Outer Banks but permissions vary by town. Driving is allowed year-round in Corolla/4x4 Carova Beach Area north of the paved road but only allowed south of that point between October 1 and April 30 and parking permits are required in-season. Driving is allowed on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore at designated access ramps and with a permit only. Driving in Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head is permitted with a permit between October 1 and April 30 at designated access points. All 4x4 access areas are subject to change due to nesting wildlife or impending weather conditions at each town's discretion.

Which Outer Banks beaches allow bonfires?

Gathering around a beach bonfire is the perfect way to spend your evening. On the Outer Banks, bonfires are allowed on the beach in Nags Head, on Hatteras island and on Ocracoke Island under certain conditions and with a permit. Bonfires are prohibited on the beaches of Corolla, Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills. Learn more about having bonfires on the OBX.

What are the Outer Banks wild horses?

The Outer Banks Wild Horses (also known as the Corolla Wild Mustangs or Banker Mustangs) are a herd of wild horses who live in Northern Corolla and are descendants of horses brought to the "New World" by Spanish explorers. Banker Mustangs can be spotted roaming the beach, playing in the waves, and grazing on native vegetation. These mustangs, although docile in nature and beautiful to watch from afar, are still wild and should never be approached, touched or fed. The herd is managed and protected by the Corolla Wild Horse Fund. Learn more about the OBX Wild Horses.

What is the trash collection schedule?

Please click here to find the days of the week that trash collections will take place for each town.

 

Bag all trash and place it in the home's outdoor trash receptacles with the lids tightly closed.

 

Sanitation Cart Placement: To ensure that your trash and recycling cans are emptied, they must be placed out at the edge of the roadway the day before the scheduled collection service. Trash must be inside cans and the lid must be closed. The following cannot be placed into trash cans and will not be picked up: Oil, propane, paint, charcoal, yard waste, construction debris, or hazardous waste. Trash or recycling placed outside of or on top of the cans cannot be collected. Cans must be removed from the edge of the roadway and placed next to a building as soon as possible on the same day of collection. (Please put trash in the black and brown trash cans.)

What is Beach Nourishment?

Beach nourishment is the process of pumping sand onto an eroding shoreline to widen the existing beach. Sources of sand may include a nearby sandbar, a dredged source (such as an inlet or waterway), or an offshore borrow site along the ocean floor. The widened shoreline provides increased defense from coastal storms and beach erosion, protecting property, communities, and infrastructure that are located along the coast.

 

While the Outer Banks coastline is beautiful, it is also very fragile. Storms, high winds and tidal changes all contribute to beach erosion. To restore and preserve our fragile coastline, Dare County and the towns of Duck, Kitty Hawk, Southern Shores, Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head have implemented important beach nourishment projects important that are critical to the future of our communities.

 

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this causes and are confident you understand the importance and necessity of this project so you can continue to return and enjoy the Outer Banks beaches for many years to come. We hope you will choose to make the best of your vacation should you find your stay impacted by the beach nourishment project.
