About this property

Calico Jack's Galley

Come enjoy your stay in our Historic "Beach Box" across the street from the beach. This 2 bedroom 1 bath cottage is just steps away from a very exclusive and beautiful beach. We have central heat/air, washer/dryer, High Speed Wifi, Smart 65" TV and plenty of off street parking.

Our beautful little cottage features two queen pillow top beds and two twin pillow tops. We have a full size kitchen with all that's needed to cook a full dinner!

We hope you will love the original wood plank walls and ceilings. This is the way they built these original cottages years ago. Even the cabinets are built from the same wood and by the same carpenters. A very Historic Outer Banks Beach Cottage. This beach cottage can be described as Rustic. We are making improvements to our new addition and you may notice a few minor imperfections. We hope you will love the fabulous location as we are focused on providing a clean and comfortable respite for you and your family.

Even with a thorough modernization the property is a historical home that is now over 75 years old. It has some eccentricities that reflect building standards and designs from the turn of the last century that lends to its charm as an older beach cottage. But even so, we hope that you will love our older and charming home.

Great location.
Worked for us! The cottage is old, but in a great location. We were traveling with a dog, and this was one of the few pet friendly houses available.

You Get What You Pay For
I kind of knew what I was getting into after reading the reviews. I was looking for something reasonably priced for a short stay that was pet friendly. The pros for this property are that the communication with the owner and check in process was very efficient. There were absolutely no problems with that aspect of the stay. I can’t stress enough the con for this property. It was filthy and smelled awful. I think the odor was mainly from the carpeting. There was a pretty hefty, in my opinion, cleaning fee and the dining table was sticky. The shower was very dirty with mold growing all over. I would have expected it to be cleaner, and it was just not. And there was no fan in the bathroom. The lighting was very dingy and the stairs up to the deck and entrance were not in great shape. But you get what you pay for, renter beware. I will not stay again.

This is for Pirates Lair that’s next door. See below
We originally planned to stay here 10/21-10/23 but the app glitched on us, and only was gonna be 10/22-10/23. I reached out to the host and they were happy to help and make accommodations for the times we wanted. They had availability to their home next to this one called the Pirates Lair. So communicating was really good. Overall my husband and I feel the home needs a lot of work and updating. The porch was falling apart and not safe, the railings weren't really nailed in and all uneven if my son or us were leaning on them to much we could’ve fell with the rails not being secured. I don’t know if the carpet is newer and was done wrong but when we had no shoes on we kept getting stuck in the foot with the staples and it hurt. The shower head was held by a nail or screws that wasn’t stable. The kitchen table almost flipped because the legs weren't even right my husband had to fix that. If you barely moved the whole house moved. We feel the home (Pirates Lair) needs a lot of work and updating to stay safely in. Space is good for a weekend getaway and enough space for that so that’s a plus. If home get attention and upgrades it would be a great place to stay.

The porch looks like it might fall down, interior is not much better. On the plus side it is close to the beach.

Weekend trip
Went for a weekend trip and had a very nice visit. The location is wonderful, the beach access is about as good as it gets. The linens were clean and comfortable. The host was friendly and accommodating when we arrived a little early.
