About this property

Spacious 3BR Beach Getaway | Steps to Sand | Pool, Bikes & More

Welcome to Water’s Edge, your spacious Outer Banks retreat just a short walk from the beach within the Sea Dunes resort community in Kitty Hawk.

With three bedrooms and a comfortable, multi-level layout, this home is ideal for families or groups looking to relax, spread out, and enjoy easy beach days together.

Spend your days on the sand and your evenings unwinding in a space designed for simple, comfortable coastal living.

Beach gear, bikes, and full resort amenities (pool, hot tub, clubhouse, game room, pickleball/tennis, racquetball, and gym) are all included — plus local tips and responsive support from our OBX-based family, welcoming guests since 1973.

The layout makes it easy to gather as a group while still having space to unwind. The kitchen is fully equipped for meals at home, and the living area provides a comfortable place to relax after a day at the beach.

Downstairs, the garage serves as a well-equipped beach staging area with seating, gear, bikes, and space to get organized before heading out.

Located in the heart of Kitty Hawk, you’ll be just steps from the beach and close to local favorites, shops, and restaurants — everything you need for a classic Outer Banks stay.

Best unkept secret in OBX

This is simply the best little neighborhood in OBX. Our property was great. Close to the beach, awesome neighbors and food and fun within a quick walk. Just don’t tell your friends how cool this place is…you won’t be able to book it next time. Owners ante amazing and place is great. Just one complaint…I like to eat outside and the patio furniture was lacking comfort. Would stay here again 100%

Great Location

Great location, easy walk to beach and pool. If you cook a lot, you will probably need to bring an extra pot and an electric skillet. Couch was a little outdated but overall, it served our purpose. Please note kitchen and living room are on top floor and you must climb two flights of stairs to access it. I share this not as a complaint but just as info. Just in case you have anyone in your family that struggles with that. Overall great place! No major complaints!

We enjoyed Kitty Hawk

Very nice town. The place we stayed was very close to the beaches and town. We had to pay a cleaning fee but there were large dust balls under the beds, one soda/juice bottle under the bed. The furniture and beds were outdated and extremely uncomfortable. One shower on main level was leaking into garage which dropped Sheetrock onto one of our vehicles. When I tried to notify owner, he didn’t respond within 24 hours. He asked several questions after the fact if we had allowed the water to get onto the floor. Again, nice town, but inside unit needs updating.

Eric, thank you for your honest review. My apologies for the cleaning oversight and the maintenance issue. These kind of issues occasionally arise when renters are staying, but rarely are they as serious. I'm sorry this happened to come up during your stay. As for the beds and furniture, they've taken a bit of a beating over the last few months with all the guests, but we're planning on replacing everything this fall. Again, my apologies for the issues, but I'm glad you enjoyed the Outer Banks!

Amazing Vacation

We had an amazing vacation at the Sea Dunes condo. It was wonderful being able to walk to the ocean or sit and relax on one of the decks and enjoy the view of the ocean. The kids loved their rooms and so did my husband and I. We are definitely buying the same bed very soon as it was so comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed...stocked up on some more k-cups as we drink a lot of coffee. We did forget beach towels, but found a great deal up the street at Publix. Keep the steps in mind when staying here and probably all through the OBX. We live on one floor in our house, so definitely got a workout...which was actually kind of nice. The kids loved the waves and spent the week riding them all week. I wish the weather were nicer, but we still enjoyed the beach and pool every day. The community center and everyone that staffs it is super nice and friendly. There is so much to do in the community center and that is definitely helpful with teenagers. I would definitely recommend this condo and the owner was super helpful and great getting back to us with all of our questions.

Overall great experience, except…

We had a great time at the Dunes. The host was exceptionally welcoming. The place was very clean. We specially appreciated the fact that the host left us a note that we could use anything in the house. This made us feel very comfortable. We had forgotten some last minute items and knowing that we could use theirs made it convenient. The only drawback that I had were the nosy neighbors. They tattletale.

A lovely home & an amazing location!

Water’s Edge @ Sea Dunes is a lovely home and an amazing location. Everything about this home is warm and welcoming. It is probably the cleanest home we have ever rented. The open floor plan and vaulted ceilings made for a very livable and cozy setting. It’s within easy walking distance of the ocean. With a private stair access to the beach, it’s easy to get to the water. And you can hear the surf from the outdoor deck. The internet connection was flawless and the other entertainment options were great. The property managers are accessible and helpful. Detailed, informative, and clear communications were provided. We really enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by David Sawin

Host profile image

I grew up in the Outer Banks in the 70s and 80s working in the hospitality industry starting at age 12. Since 1990 I have lived elsewhere as an international technology executive and volunteer minister. I've worked and vacationed all over the world but still come back home to my favorite beach.

I love to introduce people to my home town and think it is the best place for a relaxed family vacation. I want to help you any way I can by giving you the best property and expert recommendations from nearly 50 years of OBX experiences. Just ask me to help in any way to have the best vacation and I will do my best!

My goal in life is to "retire" to the OBX and recreate the Anchorage Motel & Cottages my parents owned and operated from 1972-2004 as a "virtual resort" by renting some of the best, affordable, family-oriented properties on the OBX.

Why they chose this property

This property is centrally located on the OBX in Kitty Hawk with great ocean views! Just a few steps from a restful beach, you get the best of resort living. Mornings at the pool, afternoons at the beach, and evenings playing tennis or basketball!

We keep the property in good shape, comfortable, with all the supplies you need to have a great summer beach week (or weekend in the spring or fall). With 3 bedrooms you can comfortably sleep 7 plus there is a pullout sofa for an 8th (or even 9th). Putting the living space and balcony on the top floor makes this space ultimately breezy and livable while on vacation.

What makes this property unique

When you rent from us, you are getting a local family with 50 years of hospitality on the Outer Banks. I strive to answer questions as fast as possible, 80% within 5 minutes during business hours and 100% within one day. I like to provide a concierge experience with recommendations, local insights, and more. You will not be disappointed. Dave, Joanna, and Ben Sawin
