About this property

Magnolia Cay | Oceanfront | Private Pool, Hot Tub, and Dog Friendly

New for 2026: New to Outer Banks Blue!

Welcome to Magnolia Cay
A signature oceanfront estate designed for memory-making, Magnolia Cay offers space, comfort, and connection for your next large gathering. With 16 bedrooms, 18 total baths, and multiple indoor and outdoor common areas, this thoughtfully laid out home is ideal for family reunions, retreats, and group vacations looking to stay together—without stepping on toes.

Located in the heart of Kill Devil Hills, Magnolia Cay is just over half a mile from the Wright Brothers National Memorial and close to dining, grocery stores, mini golf, and Avalon Pier. But with private beach access, a 36-foot custom pool, and outdoor gathering areas shaded by upper decks, you may never want to leave.

Designed with Togetherness in Mind
Inside, Magnolia Cay delivers comfort across all three levels. Each floor offers its own living space—from a game room with pool table and wet bar on the lower level, to a quieter den with deck access on the second, and a light-filled top-floor great room with vaulted ceilings and panoramic ocean views. A central kitchen anchors the third level, complete with double refrigerators, dual ovens, two dishwashers, and enough space for shared meals and celebrations.

Sleeping arrangements offer both variety and flexibility:
-9 King suites
-2 Queen suites
-Multiple bunk and trundle combinations perfect for kids and teens
-Semi-private rooms for guests who prefer a quieter corner
-An elevator connects all three floors for convenience.

Ocean Views, Poolside Vibes
Step outside to a private pool deck designed for groups to gather. Two hot tubs, a sauna, shaded seating areas, picnic tables, and a grilling station offer plenty of options for lounging and dining al fresco. A private boardwalk leads over the dunes to the beach, and an upper viewing deck makes a quiet place to catch the sunrise or stargaze after dinner.

Extras That Make a Difference:
-Theater room with stadium-style seating
-Food prep stations on every level
-Attached bathrooms for every bedroom
-Multiple laundry areas
-Ample off-street parking
-Whether you're reconnecting with extended family, planning a retreat, or gathering friends for a week at the beach, Magnolia Cay makes it easy to come together on the beautiful Outer Banks.

Great location. Plenty of room for our family to spend time together but to also spread out. We lucked out with great weather in March. The pool and yard setup look like they would be perfect in the summer.

Rented was not clean at all. Condoms left from previous renters. Signs left again from previous renters. Old food crackers and cereal under furniture. Dust galore. When sun shines threw the dirty windows its very noticeable. Its a beautiful home and we had a great time BUT THE RENTAL MANAGEMENT needs to do a much better job maintaining this rental.

Our stay was wonderful. Just a few things to be mindful of, one of the bathroom window dressing was broke. The kitchen sink on bottom floor the faucet is really loose. The sauna did not work at all even once the repair guy came..twice. Communication was great. Home was very clean. One suggestion is if you could place coffee cups on all floors along with a spoon or two. Our view was beautiful. All in all everyone of the people in our group were very happy with their stay and we would come back again to the same place. Thank you for the Owner (s) and everyone else involved in maintaining this property. Trish Gibson and USMC Q2 Marines

The house is large with plenty of rooms with lots of space for meetings and social gathering. Unfortunately, the house is in need of repair. Old incredibly hard, cheap uncomfortable beds in every room. Most of the doors not working properly. Theater room unusable due to poor picture and sound. Booking, check in process frustrating, using a third-party instead of going to directly through VRBO.

We regret you did not have a 5-Star experience at "Magnolia Cay." As you can see from the other reviews left here your experience was not the norm. We take these comments to heart and have passed along your comments about the bedding to the owner for action. We also have dispatched our maintenance staff to resolve any issues with the doors and theater room as we've not heard of this before. We hope you were able to enjoy the great weather while you were here and will consider a return visit for a better experience.
