About this property

♥Heart of KDH🏄‍♀️Semi-Oceanfront🐶Dog Friendly🚶‍♀️Walk to Restaurants,Shopping

Stay in the heart of Kill Devil Hills at the "Sand bUKet". This tastefully updated 4-bedroom, 2 bath cottage has everything beach lovers need for a great vacation in a central locale on the Beach Road in Kill Devil Hills. A perfect launching point for your adventures right across the street from the oceanfront and less than a 2 minute (430 feet) walk to the public beach access on Martin's Street.

The entry-level laundry inside laundry area leads upstairs to the first level with two queen bedrooms, one bedroom with bunk beds and a single bed, one full bathroom, and a living area with a TV and deck access with stairs to the driveway.

. The top level has ocean views from the living area and the deck, one queen bedroom, and one full bathroom that can be accessed from the bedroom or from the living area. The kitchen features granite countertops, a separate cooktop with four burners, and a built-in grill. Best of all, guests can simply step outside to the top level deck anytime for sea breezes or to take in a view of the ocean.

We offer two options for outdoor grilling - charcoal or gas. Both outdoors on the ground level.

We are located directly next to the popular local hang-out, the Bonzer Shack, that offers yummy coastal food and fun outdoor music. It's also just a 1-2-minute walk to Dare Devil's Pizzeria and Food Dudes Kitchen and a 5-10-minute walk to The Pit Surf Shop, CVS, Kill Devil Burgers, Five Guys Burgers, JK's Restaurant, Fuji Japanese Steakhouse, Starbucks. and other shops and restaurants.

You are right in the heart of town on the oceanfront, so in season there will be activity all around!

Loved our stay!

We had a wonderful long weekend at Annette’s property. She was very easy to communicate with, and the house was just like the photos. Very comfortable - everything we needed. Super close to beach access. Great restaurants nearby: Food Dudes, Surfin’ Spoons, Nags Head Pizza Co. Would gladly stay again and highly recommend!

October getaway

The weather was amazing!! Love this time of year when it’s not too crowded. Booked the house for the location, semi-ocean view and that it had great reviews so I was somewhat dismayed by a few things. The house is on an extremely loud road, even for off season. It would be to have a back yard option with some nice Adirondack chairs, maybe a fire pit and even a small deck. I hadn’t thought about having to climb the stairs so often but since the kitchen is on the top floor it made for quite the leg workout! The kitchen was well equipped. Had a small issue with the refrigerator and the cabinets could use some WD-40. The fan on the second floor did not work and the lighting in the bedrooms is very dim. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Hopefully the owners addressed some issues with stains on the rugs, couches and beds. They were very responsive when we let them know our concerns.

Perfect Getaway!

This home was perfect in every way! From being stocked with dishes, glassware, pots, pans, many utensils and Kitchen Appliances. The beach access was across the street. Beach chairs and a wagon were also available. My boys loved the outdoor shower and their “private deck” on their floor. Board games and cornhole were a hit! Lots to walk to! You can’t go wrong with this place! Will be back, thanks!

Perfect small beach house

Great location across from public beach access and we loved the ease of going to the restaurant next door. It's really well stocked in the kitchen and even had some chairs and a wagon we could use on the beach! Would absolutely stay again.

Wonderful stay in perfect location

We had a great stay at this perfectly located beach house. The central OBX location is close to most major attractions including jockey’s ridge, putt putt, and great restaurants. Plus, the house is right across the street from the Martin street beach access—no need to worry about parking! If you don’t want one of the giant 30 bedroom oceanfront monstrosities (and all the cost), but you want something nicer than a run down beach shack, this house is in the sweet spot. The kitchen and bathrooms are fully updated and upgraded, the furniture is new and comfortable, and the beds are high end comfortable mattresses. Plus there is a nice view of the ocean from the top floor balcony. If you’re worried about noise from the bar/restaurant next door, I wouldn’t. It closes at 10pm and never caused any problems. But I would recommend their painkiller with homemade allspice dram and the family-friendly sand patio. Thanks for the great trip!
