Overview
New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.
Exciting upgrade for the 2025 season: new carpet installed in all three bedrooms.
Drift Inn to this classic and charming beach cottage with all the comforts of home, where you'll enjoy easy access to the beach just 350 feet away.
Located five lots back from the Atlantic, Drift Inn offers a great location, only 800 yards from the fishing pier and near plenty of eateries and scenes. The screened porch and grill provide plenty of reasons to stay outside, as does the rooftop crow's nest with breezy ocean views. There are also two small decks at the back of the home for extra sunbathing opportunities.
Inside, everyone in the family will appreciate the three TVs, three VCRs, two DVD players, stereo/CD player, and high-speed WiFi. The open living/dining/kitchen area provides ample space to spread out. At the end of the day, retire to one of the three comfortable bedrooms.
Please Note: As a barrier island, Hatteras is constantly changing. Beach conditions, dunes, and access points may vary due to erosion, restoration projects, weather, and other environmental factors.

The mattresses were hard. The towels were rough. But overall the property was good.
I really liked the home. The closed it front porch, the spacious bedrooms, the place was welcoming. My only 2 recommends, 1- can opener was useless, need a new one. 2- need a blow dryer for the house.
This is a smaller and obvious older home as it needs attention to the wood work on the outside including the walkway decking as there is quite a bit of rot. The interior of the home is nice with newer carpet on the bedrooms and tile that could use attention throughout the kitchen and living/dining areas. The walk to the beach is not bad at all and the week we were down it was very quiet. The mosquitoes are quite bad on the property as the parking area is not paved or concreted the grass area had not been mowed. With that being said the laundry area is also downstairs as well and makes for an uncomfortable time trying to clean your clothes. Make sure to have plenty of bug spray along.
Although we have stayed in some larger, more upscale homes, Drift Inn was perfect for us!! The kitchen is very well equipped and it looks as though the whole house has recently been updated. I love that there is only one flight of stairs and the short stroll to the beach was easy. It was perfect for my older dog. We will be back to Drift Inn!!
We recently stayed at your property and wanted to share some important feedback. First and most concerning: the bunk bed ladder in our son’s room had several loose nails. This is a serious safety issue—especially for a child’s sleeping area. Honestly, it’s hard to understand why nails were used instead of screws in such a critical fixture. Second, the dishwasher was completely nonfunctional during our stay. There was no water entering the unit, and it’s clear this wasn’t a new issue. It simply wasn’t working when we arrived, which was both inconvenient and disappointing. Additionally, the Wi-Fi was extremely unreliable, making it difficult to stay connected even briefly. While we appreciated Vacasa’s quick responses to our messages, unfortunately no actual action was taken to resolve the dishwasher issue. As a consequence I asked for a partial refund—and again, there was no follow-up. And btw y’all should have offered the refund yourselves. We booked this stay with the expectation of a safe and functional space for our family, but the lack of maintenance and meaningful support made it a frustrating experience. We hope this feedback helps improve future guest experiences, but as it stands, we were deeply disappointed. Sincerely, Guido
Quaint cottage in walking distance to the beach- we enjoyed our weekend stay very much! However, do not expect a glamorous, updated fancy, modern beach house! The house smelled strongly of mildew, but after a bit it became less noticeable. Top bunks are not safe to sleep on- this is coming from someone who owns 2 bunk beds that are slept in every night. Bunk in front room needs a railing (due to the narrow mattress) and the ladder to the top bunk in the back room was broken- you couldn’t even safely climb up if you wanted to. Couches were very uncomfortable. The house was clean, but the water coming out from the tap tasted very salty. Coffee as a result was very salty. Decor is dated, but in a very charming, “grandma’s cottage” sort of way. My husband and I were delighted with all the quaint little details and decorations. It felt like a home that has been lived in and enjoyed for many decades.
