The Coastal Cottage Company | Outer Banks Builders

Coastal Cottage delivered our dream home. Mike took the time to understand what was important to us, listened carefully throughout the process, and brought thoughtful design ideas that elevated the final result. Communication was excellent, even during the challenges of building through COVID, and the entire experience was collaborative and enjoyable. Years later, we still receive compliments on our home. We would highly recommend Mike, Beth, and the entire Coastal Cottage team.

What an excellent job by the entire Coastal Cottage team…Mike, Beth, Paul, Scott and Mary. Mike and Beth helped guide us through the multitude of decisions with vision, ease and experience. A true quality build from beginning to end. We reviewed Mike's previous work and liked that he was fully custom. Also, after speaking with and meeting Mike we decided that he had the right professionalism, demeaner and frankness that would work well with us. He had done several different styles of homes, and he was willing to work with us in coming up with exactly want we wanted. Overall, we are both very satisfied with the detail he put into the design and the sound quality of the build. Mike stands behind his builds. After we moved in, if we had any issue whatsoever...if we contacted Mike, he had a team that was very responsive to fix the issue. We have zero reservations in recommending Mike York to build your next home. He really knows what he is doing and builds fantastic houses.

We have owned property on the Outer Banks since 1992. Over the years, our oceanfront home was ever the worse for wear. We thought it best to tear it down and start anew. We contacted 3 Outer Banks builders and decided the best fit for us was Mike York and the Coastal Cottage Company. Over a period of months, Mike worked to design the best plan to fit our needs and to maximize the available space on our lot. All costs and fees were discussed and agreed upon; we never were given a bill we did not expect (as happened when we built our home in Pennsylvania). All billing was quite fair and the company worked within our budget. Our home was completed in July of 2018 and we have been quite pleased with it. The quality is outstanding. We have had numerous compliments from friends, family, and passersby. We used to worry about hurricanes and would fear that our house would not stand up to the elements but not any longer! We truly love our home! We highly recommend The Coastal Cottage Company and their outstanding workmanship!

The Coastal Cottage Company designed and built our new Manteo home in the Peninsula subdivision. We had some very specific design requirements to be met and blended with the Coastal Cottage team's ideas and suggestions for our new full-time residence. They did a terrific job, and we are enjoying every minute in our waterfront dream home!

My wife and I have been visiting the Outer Banks for over twenty-five years. We always dreamed about building our own home at the beach. We finally purchased a lot, and then spent a great deal of time researching builders located throughout the Outer Banks. Our search led us to Mike York owner of The Coastal Cottage. We chose Mike for many reasons. To begin with, The Coastal Cottage is a true Design/Build company. Mike surely did not disappoint. He worked with us from the beginning of the project to the end. In fact he continues to respond to any questions we have even after our house has been completed. During the building process, Mike was flexible in any changes to the our designs. Throughout the design process my wife obtained ideas from various homes on different websites. Mike was able to incorporate these ideas into our original home design. One other point I cannot stress enough. The quality of the material, and detailed workmanship performed by The Coastal Cottage is second to none. Our home was built as if Mike was building a home for his family. Scott and Susan Lee
