Mother’s 80th birthday celebration

My family of 5 just stayed in this super cute, beautifully maintained property to celebrate my mother’s 80th birthday! Host was easy to communicate with and responded readily. House was well stocked with the basics and more! Great sitting areas in both the front yard and porch areas. Great backyard space with a hot tub. So close to beach access and centrally located in the heart of Kill Devil Hills! We had a wonderful experience !

Great Stay

The house is clean and well cared for with fun decorations and a beautiful kitchen. The back yard is amazingly private and unlike most of the other houses in the area. Having the fenced and private back yard is great with little kids and the hot tub is perfect.

Wonderful and close to everything

I loved the house! It was perfect for everything that we needed for our short trip over the holidays to the beach. Cindi was wonderful to work with and easy to contact. The house is so close to the beach and then close to everything in Kitty Hawk and was super clean!! It was such a great stay!

Turquoise gem

This little home instantly caught my attention online for multiple reasons, but it's somehow even cuter in person. Great decor inside and out, close proximity to beach, convenience store, and restaurants, plus a quiet neighborhood. We instantly felt comfortable here. Good communication with host, super clean, and just all around a great rental property. . here and very much enjoyed our stay.

The property is great and well stocked with plates, utensils, pots, and even paper towels. The house is very close to the beach and many cool eateries. The host was easy to reach and addressed any questions in a timely manner. We have created amazing family memories and our stay at the Lively Up Yourself house made it a wonderful vacation in OBX!

OBX 2024

This is the second time we spent at this vacation home. We enjoyed it so much late year we wanted to stay here again. The house is very clean and beautifully decorated and very well stocked. It is a block and a half from the beach, a gas station/deli is on the way to the beach which works for ordering lunch. Numerous restaurants and stores are nearby also. We would likely rent this vacation home again in the future.

We had a wonderful stay at Lively Up Yourself! Located just south of the main commercial section of Kill Devil Hills, the cottage is walkable to several local restaurants, Stop & shop deli/gas station/gift shop, and of course the beach! Nightly walks to the nearby Dairy Queen were a must. We traveled with a few teenagers and the location allowed us to give them freedom they don’t have in our less accessible home area. Access to the beach is directly down the street so it made transporting beach gear back and forth incredibly easy. The cottage is generously stocked with beach toys and chairs so it was one less thing for us to pack to bring down. The outdoor showers made washing all the sand away a breeze. Inside the cottage you will find everything you could need for an enjoyable stay. The home is stocked with many of the general perishables you often need for a beach week and the owners have a great policy of if you use the last thing just replace it, making it so much easier for renters not needing to haul all that down. Puzzles and games were ample and the outdoor space attached to the house was a great place to wind down with dinner al fresco after a long day at the beach! Cindi the owner was very responsive to my questions and concerns and I had no difficulty getting in touch with her. Instructions in the home were clear and concise and made departing the property very easy. We would definitely stay here again and think the cottage is a fantastic find!

Loved it!

We absolutely loved staying here. It was perfect for our family, especially with the fenced back yard where the kids could play. The house was spotlessly clean when we arrived, and had everything you might need. They even had beach toys, boogie boards, chairs, and a wagon to transport everything to the beach, which was just a few mins walk. We will definitely be booking another stay here!

Marvelous backyard

Best property we’ve stayed at. High end finishes, stocked with anything you could need and more, only a block from the beach. Standouts include multiple outdoor spaces from front patio to picnic table, hammock, hot tub, and enclosed front porch. Extremely clean and comfortable. Would definitely return.
