525 The Sweet Potato Biscuit

Manager
The Sweet Potato Biscuit is just that! The sweetest little biscuit of a house, cannot beat the location, ocean front, stunning views and wrap around porch! Just the most perfect little cottage for a small group to stay! Long days on the beach were made easy by a short walk back to the house for potty breaks and meals. We traveled with 2 small children so I cannot say enough about the access to the beach, kids could play in the evening catching ghost crabs right off of the beautiful porch. The inside decor was lovely, all bedrooms had beautiful casual bedding, a comfy couch to snuggle up on late night and watch a movie. We have been visiting the outer banks for many, many years, this one has a special place in our heart! Only feedback would be to update the dining table and chairs, it was a bit "clunky" to all sit around. Will go back again in the future when vacationing with a small group! Love this little Biscuit!

GEM OF THE OBX
Where do I even begin with this place? The Sweet Potato Biscuit is the gem of the Outer Banks. From the outside you would have no idea how amazing the house is on the inside. To start- the location is perfect. The beach is quite and it is pushed back from the road a little bit. The house to the left has a full-time owner who is very helpful. The wraparound porch with ample seating makes sitting outside watching the waves and sunrise perfect. The pictures of the house do NOT do it justice. The kitchen is huge and can comfortable handle multiple adults working in there. The couch and chairs in the house are super comfy (almost surprising for a rental). The kitchen is the most fully stocked kitchen I’ve ever seen in a rental. They do have a Keurig in case you were wondering. The bedrooms are a good size. The mattresses are comfortable. Again- nothing in this house feels like a rental. I always bring my own comforter because the comforters/quilts in rentals are typically pretty gross. I can honestly say, I didn’t feel the need to switch out the quilt in this house. The housekeeper does an impressive job cleaning. There was nothing I could find that she missed (not even dust on the fans which seems to be in every rental we’ve stayed in). The housekeeper even leaves her contact information in case she needs to come back to touch something up. In the laundry area, there are nice beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrella anchors, etc. The little details in the house are special. Hand painted artwork that the neighbor told us was done by the owner’s son. Cute décor throughout the house…. This truly is a special place and we look forward to staying there again.

Renter
A number of years ago, when looking for a much-needed respite, we "discovered" the Sweet Potato Biscuit. On-line pictures showed a Nags Head style cottage, fronted by a wide sand beach, which ended at the ocean surf (no road to cross). The cottage amenities and interior design appeared to meet our needs and were pleasantly verified by our first visit in the Fall, a calmer and more restful time of year than Summer time. The location (about mid-way between two fishing piers) provides plenty of space for walking and musing, and swimming or watching the ever-changing ocean, or shelling or fishing. Jockey's Ridge sand dune is easily viewed across the road and is also within walking distance. The Sweet Potato Biscuit (and recent upgrades) and its location are "special". Our continuing returns to "our cottage" are looked forward to with happy anticipation.

home away from home
The water is so close that you can almost touch it, & the view is simply amazing! The three-sided covered porch is a big plus because even if it rains we can still be outside. We can watch the hang gliders on Jockey's Ridge, or the dolphins that swim by every day, twice a day like clockwork. Sometimes they're so close that we can even see them without binoculars. If it's too cool out then we can sit inside behind the huge picture window & still watch the sunrise. We take our Jeep, so the private beach access is really nice too. The kitchen is well stocked, & the whole house is nicely furnished. The beds are comfortable & we've yet to run out of hot water. We've vacationed at the Sweet Potato Biscuit for several years in a row, & we've never even thought about staying any place else. We absolutely LOVE this cottage. It truly has become our home away from home.
