About this Property

Mere steps from the beach, this beautiful home offers a winning combination of a stellar location and extensive amenities, and is designed to cultivate comfort for visitors. Create lasting memories as you enjoy the long list of entertainment-focused offerings at this home: a cinema-style home theater, elevator, rec room with pool table, foosball, and sports bar, spacious private pool and hot tub area, beach boardwalk, and more. Spend restful vacation mornings on the covered dune-top gazebo with a cup of coffee enjoying the beautiful view and sounds of the ocean. A central Kill Devil Hills location means that you are close to some of the Outer Banks' best restaurants, grocery stores, and shops.

Doors lead from the rec room to an engaging array of outdoor amenities that include a private pool with separate baby pool and hot tub with built-in Bluetooth music under sheltered pergola. A poolside bar with two grills (one gas/charcoal combo, one charcoal-only) is the perfect perch to enjoy a refreshing drink while taking a reprieve from the sun. Then, stroll along a private beach walkway that meanders towards a dune-top gazebo that overlooks beach activities. Spend days sunbathing, body boarding and fishing, and when the sun sets grab a flashlight for an evening of ghost crab hunting with the little ones. Please note the stormwater outfall pipe in the gallery photos - the town recommends not swimming within 200 feet of the pipe.
