Built in 1972, much of the interior remains unchanged, including some of the decor & artifacts! 2 full baths & 2 queen beds, along with 2 twin beds. Comfortable furniture, kitschy decor, pet-friendly front porch and under-house area (picnic table, grill, ice cream maker, shower), LOTS of kitchen utensils, and tons of relaxing vibes! Games, books, Wi-Fi, TV's and the same beach & salt air as available at places costing 18 times as much!! 1 block from the Beach Road & 5th St beach access at the LIFEGUARD BEACH. 3 blocks from the Avalon Fishing Pier. Target (with Starbucks) is at the end of the street, and on the way to the beach. Belk, Food Lion and other shopping is across the by-pass from Target - all within walking distance. **NEW for 2025 - North Carolina's FIRST 'WAWA' has opened across from Target. Get your subs and head to the beach !!!! ** As Granny used to say, "Our house is clean enough to be healthy, and dirty enough to be happy." We hope you can visit and "live like a local" while enjoying all that the area has to offer. SIT! STAY !! *** LINENS & TOWELS are NOT provided. ***

Great beach box in a good location. It's very dated and needs renovations, but a GREAT value for the price tag AND allows pets with a cheap pet fee. Bring your own toilet paper!
Very impressed with the beach and shopping stores being walking distance with such a great price! Perfect vacation home for a small family of 4/6. Thanks coco!
This was our first time booking an actual house for our vacation. The neighborhood is lovely and the cottage was in a great location! The cottage remimds me a lot of our family cabin so we felt right at home. The host was very prompt with all communications which made check-in and check-out a breeze! We would stay there again for future vacations!
We had a fantastic stay at Kill Devil Hills. This is an excellent location just one block from the beach and across the street from Target and Starbucks. We were also walking distance from restaurants so did not have to drive at all during our stay. Beautiful beach. Very dog friendly place. Remember to bring your own linens and toiletries and it’s a great place to stay.

Great location, good house just needs a few things small things updated, for example some of the bedroom door locks were not working and getting jammed. Overall we were very satisfied!

Unfortunately, there was a storm in the beach views weren’t very good. Not the owners fault. The house is old and showing it didn’t feel very inviting. It wouldn’t be a bad place to stay if you had six cats. It certainly wasn’t worth the money that I paid for it.
Very nice cozy place. Would highly recommend! Would stay there again. Short walk to the beach!
