Amazing beach cottage!

I just have to say the pictures do not do this place justice. This is the cleanest and best stocked vacation rental I have stayed at in the outer banks and I travel alot. The owners have thought of every detail from the soft linens and towels to super comfy beds. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Wish I could have stayed longer.

Drum Run Cottage_Buxton, NC

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Drum Run Cottage in Buxton, NC. The cottage has been well updated, and the hosts are attentive to any and all needs. We felt like we were visiting a good friend's home. Love the outdoor shower...a must for our beach vacations! It was a real pleasure to spend time at Hatteras Island and to lodge at Drum Run Cottage. Thank you Nora and Jonathon!
