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!

Great spot to stay in Outer Banks
We had a great time staying here for about a week. The house was exactly as described in the description and was very clean and the remodeling was very nice and everything felt very fresh and new. The house is a very easy walk to a couple mile path that goes right along the bay, great for walking, running or bike riding. The owner is very nice and checked in with me to make sure the experience was going well. Check in and check out we’re easy too. Very glad we decided to stay here.

Perfect Vacay Before the Start of School Year
A perfect way to end summer vacation before a busy school year starts. The beach house was well appointed and very clean. The owners did a great job at communicating expectations, the check-in process, and the amenities available. The hot tub was serviced well and clean. The house is on a quiet street near the sound and a short walk to the beach. Great stay!

Just what our family needed!
This was perfect for our family of 5 (three teen boys). We rented bikes for the week which made it super easy to get around. Loved the bay side bike path and the straight shot to the ocean beach. Mini golf & shops were also close... we loved it!

Lovely beach getaway
We enjoyed our stay very much. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. There was so much to do in the area and a lot of it was walking distance, including the beach itself. We would definitely recommend!
