About this property

BACON in the SUN ~OBX~ 5Bd/3Ba - 2024 Off Season Rates lowered!!! Walk to Beach

Wonderful beach cottage between the highways in Kill Devil Hills NC. This cottage offers 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, large living room, newly renovated kitchen, and dinning area that seats 16. Rec room with pool table and ping pong and flat screen TV. Kids Den with TV - perfect for gaming. Fenced in back yard and outdoor shower.

Walking distance to beach and Avalon Fishing Pier (High Tide Bar) about 2 blocks or 300 yards. Awful Arthur's Restaurant, convenience store and shopping center all within walking distance. Groceries (Food Lion and Publix),Theater, Lowes & Belk's and shopping all within 1/2 mile. 5-10 minutes to Nags Head, Kitty Hawk, Wright Brothers Memorial. A great day trip would be to drive down the beach and really see the best that the outer banks has to offer. Short drive through the Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, and Hatteras areas takes you to the ferry and a 30 minute trip over to Ocracoke. This would really be an incredible day trip adventure.

Watch the sunrise with your morning coffee. Convenient to golf, shopping, great dining and sight-seeing. The refreshing Atlantic Ocean is just steps away.

Overall we had a nice stay. There are some things in the Vrbo listing that are incorrect and should be updated: WiFi info, the availability of towels/sheets, the check out time is different on the info sheet at the house vs the Vrbo listing. The AC stopped working, but the owner had someone out to fix it the next day so no big. Location is fantastic.

Family Vacation 2025

We really enjoyed our stay at Bacon in the Sun. The location is great, so close to many stores and restaurants and a fairly short walk to the pier and beach. The side street was great for biking with the bikes provided in the shed. The layout of the house was nice for our family with the back bedrooms where little kids were sleeping away from the living room and the downstairs giving space for the older kids to hang out. The outside shower was also great. This is an older beach house that has been made very cozy and inviting. We loved the convenience of the pier being so close. We saw dolphins swimming at the beach 3 separate days and saw someone catch a stingray from the pier and successfully release.

A Week Bacon In The Sun

Overall the cottage is comfortable, reasonably close to the beach as well as other restaurants and places we like to visit. There were a few items of safety concern, mostly because of the 1-6 year olds that were with us, that I submitted to the owner and property manager who took care of them immediately. We love the area and would be happy to return to this cottage.

Wonderful birthday week!

I have to say this was one of the cleanest homes we have rented in the Outer Banks in many years. It has a great layout for family, with a game room and plenty of room for everyone to spread out. They provided all the amenities that you could possibly need for a great week. Thanks to the owners for a very enjoyable birthday vacation.

Great Stay at Bacon in The Sun

If you are looking to stay in Kill Devil Hills, NC, I highly recommend Bacon in the Sun. The whole experience from start to finish was fantastic. The Darden’s have absolutely thought of everything for a great vacation. The house is a short 5 min walk to the beach and the Avalon Pier which has music every night. The house was clean and felt like home. The fenced in backyard was perfect for our dog who was able to run and play without worrying about being on a leash. There are lots of great restaurants close by also. You won’t be disappointed with staying here.
