Flying Monkey! Updated Cottage Only 500’ to the Beach! Hot Tub - Flexible Stays!

Originally constructed in 1969 with an addition in the mid ‘70’s, the Flying Monkey embraces the ambiance of a true Outer Banks summer cottage while sporting modern conveniences and fresh local decor. This three bedroom, one full bath and two half bath cottage has a unique floor plan. The main structure is comprised of two bedrooms, one full and one half bath, kitchen and living room. Out the back door, through the covered breezeway, is the master suite featuring another half bath and laundry. This setup can accommodate a wide range of vacationers and is perfect for multiple couples, parents/grandparents or anyone that appreciates a bit of separation from the rest of their party while on vacation. All bedrooms are furnished with a queen bed, nightstand, dresser, mirror and 32” Roku smart TVs. Additionally, the master also includes a small sitting area making it - almost - a complete escape from the main house. Outdoor living space is abundant here. The front porch in the main house is comfortably furnished and is perfect for morning coffee or afternoon cocktails. The breezeway between structures has a small sitting area, outdoor shower and access to the patio which includes a Jacuzzi hot tub, picnic table and propane grill. Most importantly, a direct pedestrian only beach access only 500 feet, a 2 minute walk, away.

Linens, towels and a starter supply of paper products are included. There is hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes available for use as well. The only additional charges are the state/county occupancy taxes, house/hot tub cleaning fee and a refundable security deposit.

What a Nice Stay!
This was a really wonderful surprise property for our beach weekend trip. The house was comfortable and clean, with everything you could need tucked away. It had card games and board games and the couches and chairs were comfortable. The beach was just a short walk away and the wagon and chairs provided helped make that super easy. 5 stars overall!

Two moms weekend get away was great! The stay was wonderful and yes there was initially a musty smell, but nothing that a little air freshener couldn’t fix along with some open windows. Overall we enjoyed ourselves.

Disappointed
After staying at "The Monkey" back in 2021, my girlfriend and I were excited to return in October, 2023. It was a wonderful place with a great location, well equipped kitchen, easy check-in, and very close to the beach. We LOVED our first stay. Everything was the same as in 2021, except the cleanliness. Whoever is charged with cleaning the place should be fired by the owner. This review pains me because it is a great place. The worst part of the stay was the overpowering musty smell in the back cottage. We ran the ceiling fan, opened windows and purchased 2 containers of "Damp-Rid" to try to alleviate the smell with no success. The smell was strong enough that sleeping was difficult. Other issues: 1. Two dead cockroaches. One in an empty dresser drawer and one on top of the dryer. 2. Baseboards that had not been wiped down for some time. Very dirty. Likewise with the top of the refrigerator. 3. Once you open the windows, the sills were filthy. This was not simply the result of one or two missed cleanings - this was accumulated dirt. 4. The window sills on the front screened porch were filthy. 5. The outside shower walls were moldy and algae was growing on them. Yes, it is what you might expect from an outdoor shower, but it would be easy to take a brush and a bit of bleach water and clear the growth. 6. A broken toilet seat in the back cottage bathroom. 7. The shower head in the bathroom of the main house had mold growing on it. A disappointing stay.

Beachy style & walkable to beach!
This adorable cottage had everything we needed! Even some coffee to get us started and shampoo/conditioner which we forgot! The beach was so close we could run back and forth as needed. And the cutest coffee shop was also steps away. The hot tub completed our perfect trip! We had a little storm but it just added a little excitement! We would definitely stay again and bring some friends/kids next time😁😁😁

Kill Devil Hills September Get Away
We had a great time at this cute little house. It is a short walk to the beach as advertised. Loved relaxing in the hot tub. Outdoor shower was truly handy. The third bedroom is a private room that would be great for traveling with friends or older children. Well stocked kitchen and screened in porch with everything you need for a beach day. I highly recommend it!
