About the host
Hosted by Keith Croghan
I’ve been teaching Kitesurfing on the Outer Banks for 15 years 12 of those on Ocracoke. Sailor, Captian and carpenter if there’s anything I can do to make your experience more enjoyable one please let me know!
Why they chose this property
I moved here because it’s the best Kitesurfing location in the United States if not the world!
This sweet little banana ranch is a budding permaculture dream of mine💚

What makes this property unique
It’s a “large” lot for Ocracoke and provides quite a bit of quite and privacy. The birds love my yard and trees and their song is often the only sound you’ll hear in my neighborhood.
Walking or biking distance to every thing in the village and beach the location cannot be beat.
