About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Renovated, Pet-Friendly, with HOT TUB - Highly Walkable Location

Welcome to our saltbox-style cottage in Kill Devil Hills — one of our favorite neighborhoods on the Outer Banks. We've thoughtfully outfitted this home with everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

The cottage features quality touches throughout, from durable flooring to memory foam mattresses that are cleaned and encased for added peace of mind. Cleanliness is one of our top priorities, and we maintain a high standard we know our guests appreciate.

As experienced local hosts, we’ve managed vacation homes across the Outer Banks since 2014. We take great pride in being responsive, professional, and attentive to every detail of your stay.

Neighborhood Highlights
You’ll love the location. The beach access is just 0.5 miles (about a 10-minute walk) from the house. On your way, you’ll pass Dunkin Donuts, Ashley’s Espresso Parlour (serving coffee, wine, and beer), and Mom’s Sweet Shop, a fun retail boutique and ice cream spot.

Also within walking distance are great local restaurants like Henry’s Restaurant, Two Roads Tavern, and Chili Peppers, along with Seagate North Shopping Center. For family fun, head to Paradise Golf & Arcade nearby, featuring mini golf, bumper cars, go-karts, and games.

To explore the sound side, use the nearby pedestrian crosswalk and enjoy the Bay Drive Multi-Use Path, a scenic 2.5-mile route perfect for biking or walking. Two public sound accesses are nearby:

The access to the right is walkable but has no parking.

The access to the left has a dock, gazebo, swimming area, and limited parking — a perfect sunset spot or kayak launch.

You can also bike to the Wright Brothers National Memorial, accessible via the back entrance off the airfield on W. First Street.

Owner Notes
Yard Notice: The yard is currently in transition after years of overgrowth. We recommend guests use the concrete patio area under the house instead, which includes a picnic table, hot tub, and bar seating.

Parking is limited to three vehicles. Please note: no yard or street parking is available.

House Rules & Community Guidelines
This home is not suitable for parties, events, or illegal activity. Our neighborhood includes year-round residents, second homeowners, and a small number of rentals. We ask all guests to respect the peaceful environment and our town’s quiet hours starting at 10:00 PM.

Pet Policy
We’re dog lovers and welcome well-behaved pets! However, please don’t leave dogs unattended and barking indoors — it can disturb the neighbors. On hot days, plan accordingly to keep your pet safe and comfortable.

All pets must be flea- and tick-free and on preventative treatment. If post-stay pest treatment is required, a fee will apply.

We enjoyed our stay very much. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. There was so much to do in the area and a lot of it was walking distance, including the beach itself. We would definitely recommend!

Convenient location, house was and clean and comfortable, owners were very responsive. Had four teenagers with us and they loved being able to walk to the go kart/arcade/mini golf place and Dunkin Donuts at the top of the street. Would definitely stay here again!

We went to KDH for a few days over Spring Break. The house was very clean and well-equipped with anything you may need. It is in a nice neighborhood, perfect for walking. Lots of restaurants and activities very close by also!

We had a great time staying here for about a week. The house was exactly as described in the description and was very clean and the remodeling was very nice and everything felt very fresh and new. The house is a very easy walk to a couple mile path that goes right along the bay, great for walking, running or bike riding. The owner is very nice and checked in with me to make sure the experience was going well. Check in and check out we’re easy too. Very glad we decided to stay here.

My family of 5 traveled at the end of June. We found the property to be exactly as described and loved the fact that it was in a quiet neighborhood. The check-in process started to feel tough when the door code wouldn’t work but Natalie was immediate with her response and solution. She’s a top notch, quick communicator. The house was close to everything, had very comfortable mattresses on all beds, and we absolutely loved the hot tub. We would definitely return!

Lovely small home newly renovated inside with a wonderful carport/hottub area! Easy 5 minute walk to beach /coffee shop with direct straight access from the west side of highway with pedestrian crosswalk and traffic light! You want this if renting on west side! Listing Description was on point and owner response was great. Ideal location for obx. Lovely all around.

A perfect way to end summer vacation before a busy school year starts. The beach house was well appointed and very clean. The owners did a great job at communicating expectations, the check-in process, and the amenities available. The hot tub was serviced well and clean. The house is on a quiet street near the sound and a short walk to the beach. Great stay!

This was perfect for our family of 5 (three teen boys). We rented bikes for the week which made it super easy to get around. Loved the bay side bike path and the straight shot to the ocean beach. Mini golf & shops were also close... we loved it!
