About this property

Perfect Getaway - 2 minute walk straight to the Beach

This "Beach Box" cottage on Martin Street has one of the best locations in Kill Devil Hills for close and convenient access to the beach, grocery stores, drug stores, shopping and restaurants. It is literally right in the middle of the OBX, and it's only a 2 minute walk straight to the beach.
It is an owner managed, very clean, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, single story, 'Smoke Free' beach cottage located in Kill Devil Hills, NC at Mile Post 9 just 2 lots back from the Beach Road. During the peak summer weeks we rent by the week only - from Sunday to Sunday. During the off season the cottage is available on a nightly basis with a 3 night minimum. Feel free to contact Dean at any time if you have questions about renting this cottage for your vacation.

KEY NOTES
Each year we keep making improvements to the property to give our tenants a well maintained home for their summer vacation.

I) This past fall we installed a new sod lawn (with irrigation system)....to eliminate those nasty sand spurs that reek havoc on children's bare feet. And we installed new flower beds in the front and rear of the lot. We also installed a new dishwasher

The year before we installed new carpet in the cottage. The year before that a new upgraded all vinyl deck with rain scape system to keep the mid level deck out of the rain. Before that ....a new washer and dryer. Before that a new custom outdoor shower.

We are constantly upgrading and improving the cottage for all to enjoy.


OTHER PROPERTY DETAILS
1) The Kitchen is fully stocked with all the appliances, kitchenware and utensils you will ever need during your vacation.....and also has an assortment of seasonings and spices for you to use.

2) The Living Area includes comfortable seating for 7 with a 40” smart HDTV, with streaming video via Youtube TV and Netflix.

3) The Master Bedroom suite includes a queen sized bed, HDTV, and a full sized bath with tiled floor and walk-in tiled shower

4) The two hall bedrooms have a queen sized bed in one and a set of bunk beds and twin bed in the other. Both have 32" HDTV's with streaming video via YoutubeTV on each.

5) The hall bathroom is full sized with a tiled floor and tub/shower combination with tiled walls

6) The house comes with either wired or wireless internet and streaming video TV as described above.

7) The first level deck in the back of the house includes a cozy two person swing, Adirondack chairs, a custom picnic table, and an under drain system to keep the deck dry so you can have an outdoor picnic on a rainy day

8) The second level deck in the back of the house provides a view of the ocean and plenty of lounge chairs for relaxing or sunbathing

9) The ground floor under the cottage provides ample room for off street parking, a second picnic table, garden hoses, gas grill and anew custom outdoor shower.

10) The tenant storage closet on the ground floor has beach chairs and umbrellas, boogie boards and beach toys for our guests to use.

11) The cottage comes with full linen service that includes
Sheets and pillow cases for all 5 beds

About the host

Hosted by Dean Thompson

Host profile image
We live in Richmond, VA., but we've always enjoyed spending time each summer vacationing in the Outer Banks. In 2008, we finally decided to buy our own property as a second home that we could not only use but share with others as well. We've been making improvements to the cottage each year ever since 2008. We go out of our way to keep the cottage neat and clean so our tenants can have an enjoyable, relaxing vacation.

Why they chose this property

We loved the location re: The beach, restaurants and the local drug & grocery stores. The cottage was structurally sound and it's size made it easier for us to upgrade/renovate ourselves.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is right in the heart of the Outer Banks and within 2 minutes of the beach. When it comes to convenience, comfort, cleanliness and affordability.....we found this cottage to be a great place to stay. All we had to do was add our personal touch.
