About this property

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

We recently purchased our Saltbox Style Cottage here on the Outer Banks! This neighborhood is one of our favorite locations on the entire barrier island. We live just a few houses away from our new rental. EVERYTHING is new 2022! We have spent the last few months preparing for YOU, our guests, to enjoy this cottage over these summer months. Packed with quality features from flooring to memory foam mattresses cleaned and encased for extra peace of mind. We have a high-level of cleanliness expectations for our property that we know our guests appreciate. While this cottage is a new listing, we have owned and rented several properties across the barrier island since 2014. We are professional hosts that live here locally and take great care of our guests and our property!

You will enjoy our neighborhood! Our beach access is just a .5 mi or 10 minute walk from the cottage on the way is Dunkin Donuts and Ashley's Espresso Parlour, which serves coffee, wine and beer. Behind Ashley's Espresso Parlour is Mom's Sweet Shop, which is a retail store and an ice cream spot! Restaurants and shopping are also walkable in the Seagate North Shopping Center.

Walk back to the 'sound side' via the stoplight and pedestrian crosswalk to enjoy the miles of walking and biking paths on Bay Drive bordering the Albemarle Sound and Kitty Hawk Bay. There are two community sound accesses close by - the one turning right does not have parking, the one to the left on Bay Drive has 3 available parking spots along with a dock and gazebo with swimming access. These are the BEST spots to swim, launch a kayak or take in the sunset over the water. For those with bicycles, you can bike the entire 2.5 mi Bay Drive Multi-Use Path or continue down W First Street to the Wright Brother's Monument. Access is by the air field entering in the back of the park.

Also walkable is Paradise Golf and Arcade with Mini Golf, Bumper Cars, Go-Karts and Arcade. Several restaurants like Henry's Restaurant, Two Roads Tavern, Chili Peppers and Brew Thru (for drinks).

OWNER NOTES - The yard is in a transitional phase, after 20 years without maintenance, we are in the process of riding the yard of thorns and weeds. We DO NOT recommend using the yard for our guests. We have a great concrete area underneath the house with picnic table, hot tub and bar seating. *Parking is limited to three vehicles. No yard or street parking possible at our location.

Additionally, we live locally just a few houses away from our rental property. This property is not suitable for parties, events or illegal activities. We are excited to share our beach house, which we reserve in the off-season for our family members. Our neighborhood consists of full-time residents (like us), second home owners and a small number of rental properties. WE INSIST THAT ALL RENTERS respect our neighbors at the property and the noise ordinance in our town to reduce outdoor noise after 10:00 pm at night.

Lastly, pets! We are big dog people. However, dogs should not be left barking in the house all-day causing a disturbance to neighbors. Please plan for your pet on these hot summer days! Most importantly, all pets should be flea and tick free prior to arrival and on flea and tick preventative. If the property requires pest treatment, the guest will be penalized.

Great House!
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!

About the host

Host profile image
Welcome! We are thrilled that you booked our Outer Banks beach home! We hope that you will take time to disconnect from work and daily life to reconnect with nature and one another! As a seasoned vacation rental owner, I have stocked our cottage with all the essentials you will need for a comfortable stay.

Grant and I live on the Outer Banks full-time with our growing family. I am in real estate sales, while Grant is a general contractor and home builder. We purchased this property in Spring, 2022 and immediately began an extensive renovation! All with you in mind! We are hands-on owners and work closely with the management company to keep our property in pristine condition.

Please take the time to review this Welcome Guide. It is packed with information about our cottage and our area.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property in May, 2022 and took on an ambitious renovation plan. Wait until you see the BEFORE photos in our Welcome Guide. We purchased this property, just a few properties away from our home here on the Outer Banks, as an extra property for our very large extended family. Grant and I are both 1/5 children in each of our family. We both grew up vacationing here and moved permanently in 2014. We are excited to have the extra accommodating to continue to enjoy the Outer Banks with our friends and family.

What makes this property unique

This LOCATION is our absolute favorite area on the main beach. As a REALTOR, I see many homes across our barrier island. We love having the ability to walk or bike to all of our favorite shops, some listed in the description.
