About this property
Coastal Beach Townhome | Steps to Beach | Pool, Bikes & More
Welcome to Carolina Waves, your relaxed Outer Banks getaway just a short walk from the beach within the Sea Dunes resort community in Kitty Hawk.
This comfortable, coastal end-unit condo features warm wood accents, a bay window, and a classic beach-house feel, bringing in extra natural light and creating a space that’s inviting, easygoing, and perfect for unwinding after a day on the sand.
Spend your days at the beach and your evenings relaxing in a layout designed for simple, comfortable living with family or friends.
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 living area offers a comfortable place to gather, while the kitchen is equipped for easy meals at home or quick breakfasts before heading out. Natural light from the bay window and balcony helps keep the space feeling bright and relaxed.
Step outside onto the deck to take in ocean views, watch the surfers, and enjoy the coastal breeze — a great spot to unwind after a day at the beach.
The multi-level layout provides flexibility for sleeping and relaxing, making it easy for everyone to spread out while still staying connected.
Downstairs, the garage serves as a convenient beach staging area with seating, gear, bikes, and space to get organized before heading out for the day.
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.
Must adhere to resort rules posted in the unit, I can send you a copy on request. They are common-sense rules so that all in the community are happy!
Quiet time after 10PM
Dogs only - NO CATS, $25 / day pet fee
No cooking curry or other heavily spiced dishes - we don`t have a spice kitchen and cannot remove the odor from heavily spiced cooking between guests - I will assess a $250 fee through the Resolution Center for the cost of odor removal.
Smoking on the deck permitted, but not inside.
No overcrowding - I will assess a $100 per night fee for each person over the maximum occupancy of 6 through the Airbnb resolution center.

Nice place in a spectacular setting !
After a long drive, it was great to relax in a comfortable, clean setting. Being right across the street from the beach was perfect, and with so many fun things to do and great shops/ restaurants around, it's paradise ! The owners couldn't have been nicer, we can't wait to come back!

The place is in a perfect location to the beach + good eating restaurants and its all within walking distance. The home was very clean and cozy. The back deck is in the perfect location to watch and listen to the ocean.

First time in OBX
We loved the location and it was a great value for the price - being across the street from the beach and walking distance to two great restaurants was perfect for us - beach was not crowded and our neighbors (they owned their condo) were very friendly - would definitely book again!

Perfect getaway spot in OBX
Great unit in a wonderful location. Perfect ocean views from the deck and could not ask for the variety of walkable locations to grab a bite or drink. Unit is clean, nicely furnished and well maintained. Communication was wonderful the entire stay. Beach access was super easy too!

Good location
The location and ability to have our dog stay with us was great. The owner was responsive and dropped off missing items that evening. The home itself is in need of repairs and updating. Broken vent covers, door closer and dishwasher racks and ripped couch cushion etc. make it feel neglected. Owner asked for complaints and input though so hopefully things will be fixed and future renters will have a good stay.

Great location but needs a gut job
This neighborhood is one of the best in the OBX however this unit has not aged well. Everything seemed to be on its last leg. The fridge made an awful sound all the time. The fan in the main bedroom was too loud to be used. The couch upstairs looked like it came from a frat house. If it hadn’t been for the location and the closeness to the beach I might have given it a 1 star. I will say the owner was very responsive and let us check in early. But as a family we would choose another property over this one in the future. With a little love this place gets a 5 star

Pleasant
The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the short walk to the ocean. The bicycles (4) that were listed for our use all had flat tires. One tire even came off the rim when we tried to move the bike. The bike pump that was provided did not work. That was a disappointment, because we would have enjoyed biking in the area. The appliances could use a bit of an update too.

Disappointed
The property is very old and shows its wear. Large "water bug" that I thought was a roach crawled out from behind the stove on night one. Contact the host immediately that night and did not hear back until the next morning after second message. Internet out for two days. Two flights of 13csteps each, very steep and not listed on description. This is not dog friendly. I rented a dog crate only to find one in the garage when we arrived. Again not listed. Many issues..loose floor outlet cover, broken floor vent cover, large open hole in bath tub when overflow cover should be, door closer off door to deck and kaying on table, electric cord to fireplace attached under fireplace door to inside fireplace, upholstery on couch and outdoor furniture cushions torn, zippers broken and dirty. Very stressful "vacation"

Hi Terri, I'd like to personally apologize that your stay wasn't pleasant. We had a few not-so-good renters this Summer and this unit really took a hit. We've started our maintenance season and plan on giving this unit some love over the winter. I wish we had gotten you into the adjacent unit that we have, I think your stay would have been more pleasant there. I'm also sorry that your stay happened to be around the time OBX was experiencing some internet issues. If you would like to reach out to me, I'd be happy to give you a partial refund for your stay.

The location of this rental is what makes it a 5 star rating. Every day, we sat on the balcony and watched the waves roll in. And since it's just a short walk to the beach, we took advantage of that daily as well.

About the host
Hosted by David Sawin
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 with great ocean views! Just a few steps from a restful beach, you get the best of resort living. 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 2 bedrooms you can comfortably sleep 4 plus there is a pullout sofa for a 5th (or even 6th).
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
