About this property

The WHITEHOUSE. Located at Kill Devil Hills on the Outer Banks of North Carolina

Charming well-kept semi-oceanfront cottage. This home was designated in April of 2014 as an historic landmark of Kill Devil Hills. It was built and completed in 1955. The cottage now has central heat and air as well as Wifi. The first thing that will catch your eye is the inviting front porch, just waiting for you to sit and watch the sun come up on balmy mornings at the beach or enjoy the cool evening breezes. This classic Outer Banks home with knotty pine walls and ceilings is the perfect family vacation spot. Just a short walk to the beach across the street and steps from the Avalon Fishing Pier and Awful Arthurs Oyster Bar which is a local favorite. Also, just a short drive to putt-putt, movie theatre, bowling, Wright Memorial Monument and several stores and grocery store. This cottage is the perfect Outer Banks getaway for your family!

My wife and I rented this cottage almost 40 years ago. I am thankful for the chance to rent it again. I love the history of the cottage and the beach access across the street is awesome as well.

Perfectly Situated
The White House was the right size and very close to beach and pier access. It was so easy to come and go from the beach at all times of the day. The inside was cozy and comfortable and many quiet hours were also spent in the shade of the porch enjoying the breeze.

Charming OBX Cottage
We had a great time at the White Cottage. Loved the rustic charm, reminded me of my grandmother's cottage as a child. Excellent location to the beach and kitchen fully stocked to prepare meals. Check with host you may need to bring towels and linens, which was not a problem for us. Great location and comfortable!

Very nice property.
If you love a beautiful beach, stay here! Clean, well appointed, cozy. Full of history. Caring owners. 3 comfy beds. Wonderfully appointed kitchen, and a perfect sitting porch. We will be back.

Perfect Location and very comfortable
My family and i enjoyed our recent stay at the Whitehouse very much. Glenn and his wife are very nice people. Loved the history of the house and property. The location was perfect, right across the street was the beach access and so many places to go within walking distance. The weather was perfect too! Thank you so much for letting us stay the week in your home. Can't wait until we can do it again. Daniela

Paradise
This trip was all about parking the car and leaving it for the week and this home is suitable for that. At night you can sit on the porch and hear the ocean. The ocean is literally across the street and wasn’t crowded when we ventured over to the beach. Hoping to come back in May 2025. Three trips to the OBX and Glenn is a great host and communicates clearly with you. There were people who slow down to take pictures of the home. They didn’t get out of the car but snapped a couple of pics and drove on. After staying here and communicating with Glenn I completely understand the appeal of the cottage.

Great Cottage and Perfect Location
So glad we rented "The White House". It brought us back to when we visited Outer Banks when we were younger. Rustic, quaint cottage with great access to the beach and local attractions. Can't wait to go back. Glenn was a wonderful host!!

Third time staying here and still perfect in every way! Walking distance to the beach, fishing pier, and Awful Arthur's and enjoyed each of them multiple times. Plan to keep coming back for years.

Great Vacation!
The White House was very clean and quaint. Amazing porch for relaxing and rocking. Exactly as advertised. Beach access right across the street was easy. Quiet neighbors. Everything we needed for amenities and extras was in the cottage. Walkable to the pier and close by food choices. Perfect vacation spot!

Cozy Stay
The White House is a short walk from the beach. We enjoyed the historical landmark to the fullest. There is more to do in the OBX than we could do in our two week stay. Communication with the owner was top-notch. Thanks for the great vacation!

Fantastic and great location
We absolutely loved our stay at the White House. It had everything we needed and so close to the beach access. We especially enjoyed the porch and outdoor shower. With that being said, I read some of the not so positive reviews before arriving. If you are looking for the Ritz Carlton, then you should probably look at houses that are significantly more expensive. If you are a go with the flow family/group and just need a comfortable place to stay, this place is perfect!

Another great stay at the White House
One of the many reasons we continue to adore this location is the flexibility and attention of its owner, Glenn White. Mr. White is responsive and genuinely concerned about the quality of time experienced by those who select his home. The location is magnificent and the charm of his place unsurpassed by those who appreciate what it has to offer. We look forward to returning.

Charming cottage and perfect location!
Can't say enough good things about our stay at the White house. The location was perfect, the cottage is very charming and cozy, weather was beautiful. It was a great week. Would definitely recommend to family and friends. Not only within a stones throw to the beach but plenty of shops and restaurants within a very short distance. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!
