Just as perfect a spot as you can ask for along the outer banks
Just as perfect a spot as you can ask for along the outer banks! You can see the ocean from the incredible outdoor deck, and walk two minutes to a fun local coffee shop as well! The home itself was awesome with a great layout, and the updated kitchen was so nice. Host was responsive and super helpful. An incredible beach home we want to return to already!
Born to Sun is a fantastic gem in KDH
Born to Sun is a fantastic gem in KDH. Love staying here, our 3rd time. Got married right on the beach, and it couldn’t have been more convenient and cozy. Under new management and they were very helpful and responsive.
Wish it was a little cheaper, as we used to rent this place for $1,000 less per week. But it still a great value for all you get while staying here.
We will be back soon! Thanks Natalie!
We loved our stay- it’s a perfect spot right next to the beach
We loved our stay- it’s a perfect spot right next to the beach. It was cozy and peaceful. We visited in the off season but there was still plenty to do and enjoy.

We love visiting this home
We love visiting this home! This is the second time we have stayed here and can’t wait to stay again. We walk to the coffee shop on the corner every morning for coffee and then walk to the beach for the day. Everything else is so close as well - shopping and restaurants! The house is perfect for my husband, son, and I to stay downstairs and my parents to stay upstairs. The house is spotless and they have thought of everything you might need! Such a wonderful place for a beach getaway.
Perfect getaway steps from the beach
Perfect getaway steps from the beach. Very cozy and family friendly.
We’ve been coming down to OBX for 5 years now and this is the best place we’ve stayed at
We’ve been coming down to OBX for 5 years now and this is the best place we’ve stayed at, hands down. The location is unbeatable and is literally steps away from the beach; the place is clean, functional and full of amenities (but not cluttered or overwhelming) for our family of 4; and we are so close to so many great restaurants. We had such a great time and look forward to staying here again next year!
This was our second time booking here and it just reminded us why we fell in love with it the
This was our second time booking here and it just reminded us why we fell in love with it the first time. The location is perfect, the beds are comfy, Ashleys and 1903 within walking distance is so convenient for coffee and a quick bite to eat. We'll 100% be back next year and probably the year after, I think booking here will be our OBX tradition.
Beautiful location so close to the beach
Beautiful location so close to the beach. We loved sitting on the deck, watching the waves and sunsets. And we so appreciated the gated yard and deck for our puppies to enjoy this cozy cottage with us. We throughly enjoyed cooking in the well appointed and open kitchen. Mattresses could have been firmer and bedding/towels a little more plush, but a very small point. Perfect week at the beach, even despite Hurricane Erin (loved watching the gnarly waves from such a close vantage point). Thank you for having our little family stay at the most adorable house in Kill Devil Hills.
Very convenient to everything and a nice, clean, well-equipped vacation rental

We had an amazing time! The house was incredible and so close to the beach. It was also extremely clean! We will definitely be back - loved how close the house was to everything, especially the coffee shop!
We had an enjoyable stay
We had an enjoyable stay. Comfortable place with easy access to the beach and easy to get around OBX area. Lots to do.
This is our third year in a row staying in OBX at Born to Sun
This is our third year in a row staying in OBX at Born to Sun. We love this beach house like it is our own. The proximity to the beach is ideal for our 14 year old Chiweenie, who loves running on the beach but gets tired easily now. The home is well kept, has everything you need for a relaxing stay, is on a quiet street but near anything you could need. Brittany is always incredibly proactive, providing all necessary info before you even step foot in the home. We will continue to be back due to our consistently positive experiences.
We loved Born to Sun
We loved Born to Sun!!! It was the perfect size house for our family of 4. Close to the beach & all kinds of entertainment for family activities! Cannot wait to come back again!
This was a wonderful beach stay
This was a wonderful beach stay. Very close to the beach - we had not realized from the photos that you can see the beach from the deck. Really great beach stay with a half block walk to the beach and chairs and sun umbrella available while we were there. Cute decor - very nice house.
Love, love this place
Love, love this place!!
Nice place next to the beach
Nice place next to the beach!
This was a fantastic place
This was a fantastic place. Linens and bathroom were very clean. So close to the beach, it was fast and easy to get to every day. There were a lot of wonderful amenities like dishwasher tabs, toilet paper and paper towels. The only thing I would have liked was a big comforter or something for the nights. Brittany was so helpful and kind.
Brittany was a great host; very responsive and had great recommendations for dining and activities
Brittany was a great host; very responsive and had great recommendations for dining and activities! The house was so homie and a perfect get away for my family and so happy our beach loving dog could be included. The location was amazing. We will definitely be back!
We loved staying in this beach cottage
We loved staying in this beach cottage! Great location and the house was very clean and nicely decorated.
We loved staying here
We loved staying here! The location truly is just steps to the beach. The house is even more spacious than it appears in the photos and provided our family plenty of room to stretch out. It has everything you need for a great time in the Outer Banks!

Great spot
Great spot!
We really enjoyed our stay
We really enjoyed our stay. The location is literally perfect. The beach is SO close. If you have middle schoolers, they can easily walk back and forth. Can’t emphasize enough the perfect location. We walked to the coffee shop on the corner twice and enjoyed it. The muffins and coffees were incredible. 10/10. The only “issue” we had was the downstairs staying quite cold while the upstairs was warmer so we couldn’t figure out how to regulate that. Owners offered to help but we were close to checkout time so it was ok. My only suggestion would be one more chair in the living space or possibly a loveseat in place of the single chair. Otherwise, everyone was comfortable. The fenced in yard is small but efficient for a dog to do its business. It a nice benefit!
The host was awesome to everything in a timely manner

Perfect place for the 4th of July with two teens
Perfect place for the 4th of July with two teens! Easy access to the beach, a coffee shop and ice cream place! Such a cute cottage-well appointed kitchen, had what we needed for beach. Only thing missing was a usable grill. Otherwise we thought it was perfect. Had a couple of issues while we were there (dirty linens-linen company, and leaky roof)-hosts were VERY responsive. Both addressed immediately. Also, would note, that although we are pet friendly, we did not bring our furbabies. Considering this house allows dogs, it’s very well maintained and cleaned. Appreciated that! Would definitely stay again! Thank you!
This was the second summer staying at Brittany’s place and it was perfect
This was the second summer staying at Brittany’s place and it was perfect! We love the close-by coffee shop and the proximity to the beach. We will definitely book again for next summer!
The place was absolutely perfect for our family
The place was absolutely perfect for our family! It was located in a great location - less than a block from the beach and was near several restaurants. Brittany did a great job of providing dining suggestions and the place had everything we needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back or recommend to anyone.
Beautiful place and amazing location, Literally 1/2 a block from beach access, what more can you ask for
Beautiful place and amazing location, Literally 1/2 a block from beach access, what more can you ask for?! The beds are so comfy, we definitely enjoyed a meal or 2 outside on the deck, having the table and chairs is such a nice touch, plus having perfect weather with a nice breeze coming off the ocean certainly helped. The fenced in yard is so convenient with the pups, I think they spent more time outside than inside which typically isn't the case when taking trips with pets. We try to make it down to Obx at least once a year and in the past have always gone the Hotel route since we're a small family renting a house never seemed feasible. Now that I know that this Airbnb has rates that are priced in same ball park as a hotel suite while getting an entire place... we're never looking back. Overall, such a great experience, not a single negative thing for say, we will be 100000% rebooking in the future.
This is our second time at Born to Sun and it met our previously high expectations
This is our second time at Born to Sun and it met our previously high expectations. The location is perfect, mere steps from the beach. Our 13 year old chiweenie, Ted, had such a great time last year we had to come back for a Tedcation! He remembered the house immediately when we walked in and was right at home. The place is very clean and the kitchen comes well stocked. We cooked many meals at home. The hosts have plenty of beach amenities to use - chairs, umbrellas, wagon etc. We come during off season and basically have a private beach! Close driving distance to many activities and sights OBX has to offer. Neighborhood is quiet and we really feel at home in this rental. Looking forward to coming back again for year 3!
We go to OBX every year for our anniversary/ my husband’s birthday
We go to OBX every year for our anniversary/ my husband’s birthday. We’ve stayed in a few different places but Born to Sun was the most comfortable! We could see the ocean from
The deck and the couch felt like home watching movies in a rainy night. The beach is literally steps away. The kitchen is to die for too 🙂
10/10 would recommend!
wonderful accommodations

Visiting the Outer Banks in March can be a bit tricky navigating the hit-or-miss weather
Visiting the Outer Banks in March can be a bit tricky navigating the hit-or-miss weather. But my teenager, our puppers, and myself took the risk for his spring break however, knowing it would be a very different type of beach vacation than in the heat of summer. It was cold, it was windy, and it was WONDERFUL!! I picked Brittany's place because it looked so very warm and cozy if we had to stay in a bit due to the weather and it DID NOT disappoint! And the windows!! Everywhere! And though you are not directly on the water, it is close enough to HEAR and SMELL the ocean with enough view through the dunes and minimal houses. And seriously, just steps to the beach, no exaggeration like some other listings. It is obvious someone took the time and care to renovate this place for a modern yet warm and inviting feel. And the kitchen! Gorgeous! And loaded with everything you could possibly need. Oh and soo dog friendly!! They thought of everything!
The Outer Banks are a special place...
Great house with an ocean view located near numerous restaurants and activities
Great house with an ocean view located near numerous restaurants and activities. Fenced yard and deck were great for our pup. Well appointed kitchen with everything needed to cook a family meal. Nice gift basket with wine & coffee upon arrival as well. Family had a great trip & would visit again!
Just a perfect location

This was our second time staying at Born to Sun and we had an awesome time despite the weather.
The house is conveniently located steps to the beach and is super cozy. The location is easily accessible to tons of great restaurants. Brittany was a super host, as usual!
We had a great stay
We had a great stay! The house is in an amazing location - short walk to the beach. There is also a coffee shop down the street that has excellent coffee! We were traveling with two under 3, and the house was perfect for us. Not many obstacles for them and it was a child safe environment! They really loved the buggy provided and wanted rides to the beach constantly! Unfortunately, the oven was not working during our stay which hindered some of my meal planning, but Brittany communicated that upfront. We will definitely stay again if the opportunity presents itself!
We had a wonderful time and the house has a cute rustic coastal vibe
We had a wonderful time and the house has a cute rustic coastal vibe, and very clean with a great ocean view. It was perfect for our small group. The beach was steps away and the weather was perfect all week. Water activities within 10 minutes of house that included jet ski rental and the dolphin boat tour. Coffee cafe was a few houses down and Restaurants were very close. Dinner had to be early to avoid long wait times, but that is to be expected at the beach. Everything you could need is at this house. Brittany was quick to assist us with any questions we had. We definitely recommend this house for all, and for your fur babies it is a perfect setup.

Our family loved this house
Our family loved this house! It was the perfect location and size for our small family and our dog. Being so close to the beach was especially helpful with children. We also had a hurricane one of the days and the hosts were great about communicating with us. They were very responsive throughout our entire stay. Looking forward to returning again!
This is our second year staying here and we’ll continue to do so
This is our second year staying here and we’ll continue to do so. The location to the beach can’t be beat and we love that we can bring our pups too.
We loved staying at Born to Sun
We loved staying at Born to Sun. It was perfect for our family of 6 (3 adults and 3 children) and 1 dog. It was very clean on checkin. The photos and description were accurate. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed to cook our meals. And it was great to have the bicycles and beach chairs. And so close to the beach! And really appreciated having the fenced area for the dog. Thank you!
The description said that the property was steps from the beach, well sometimes you think to yourself
The description said that the property was steps from the beach, well sometimes you think to yourself...sure...sure it is...well in the case of 'Born to Sun' it certainly was just steps to the beach. With two small kids and a dog, being close to the beach benefitted our family so much. The property was nicely decorated, and well appointed, outdoor shower (with hot & cold water) was great, the 1st floor deck was so nice to be able to have an early breakfast to watch the sunrise and an evening drink after its cooled off for the day. Overall this is a solid 4.6 to 4.8 rated property and I'd highly suggest that you check it out.
We loved our recent stay
We loved our recent stay! The cottage was so cute and perfect for our family of four and our pup. The gated deck gave him a perfect spot to lounge in the sun. The location is fantastic! This cottage is the closest we've been to the beach without staying right on the beach- it was just a short walk to the access. And because there's no public parking lot on this street, the beach wasn't crowded at all. We walked to Amy's Espresso for iced coffee most mornings and really appreciated the fact that there's a sidewalk (helpful with a dog!) and that the surrounding neighborhood was quiet.
Our family had a great time at OBX
Our family had a great time at OBX. The location is great, close to the beach but near restaurants, coffee shops, and other things to do with the kids. The space is perfect with enough room for our two young kids and French bulldog! We look forward to staying again!!
Family with 3 adult children(5 total) and our dog had a fabulous week
Family with 3 adult children(5 total) and our dog had a fabulous week. Beach all day, deck for cocktails, then cook or go out to various restaurants to eat. Everything was close by. Few issues were addressed quickly by Brittany. Thank you for sharing your home.
The house was very comfortable, updated, and clean with nice ocean views and easy access to beach
The house was very comfortable, updated, and clean with nice ocean views and easy access to beach. The deck had a gate which was great for letting our dog hang out with us! We enjoyed sitting in the deck and the furniture was very comfortable in and out of the house. Good value and great location! All instructions were clear which made the check-in/check-out process very easy. Brittany was a very responsive and helpful host.
This was my family’s first trip to OBX and we could not have been happier with the space
This was my family's first trip to OBX and we could not have been happier with the space. The house is extremely spacious and so close to the beach. We appreciated the welcome bag of wine, coffee, and the cute postcard with a painting of the house. The place was super clean and the kitchen was amazing. We cooked all of our meals there. We were there for the Fourth of July and were able to view the fireworks right outside on the deck. As advertised, this is a pet friendly Airbnb and our two dogs enjoyed their stay as well. We did the sushi making experience and it was really cool, if you enjoy sushi you should definitely try it out!
House was exactly as described
House was exactly as described. Perfect location. Super pet friendly with the fenced in yard. The kitchen was stocked really well.
We enjoyed seeing the ocean each morning with coffee on the patio
We enjoyed seeing the ocean each morning with coffee on the patio! The downstairs bedroom was also nice to have more quiet time. The place was very clean and open. We hope to come back next year!
We had a wonderful stay in the outer banks
We had a wonderful stay in the outer banks! The house is in a great location right across from the beach and was perfect for our family of four adults and one infant. We also loved how dog friendly the space was. We hope to come back next year!
We had a wonderful stay in the Outer Banks, the Airbnb was clean, welcoming and just steps from the beach
We had a wonderful stay in the Outer Banks, the Airbnb was clean, welcoming and just steps from the beach. The host had great recommendations like Ashley’s coffee shop down the block and was very responsive when we arrived. This trip and the Airbnb exceeded our expectations, would definitely recommend!! We are already talking about visiting again in the future!
Great location and extremely clean
Great location and extremely clean. The house is very well stocked. You can walk to a coffee shop at the end of the street and so many good restaurants close by. Would stay here again.
We loved our stay at Born to Sun
We loved our stay at Born to Sun! We loved that from the living room you had a view of the ocean. My boys (2 and 4yo) loved the beach and this house was a hop and skip away (ie 4 minute walk to the water’s edge).
Also, as a mom of young kids, I loved the convenience of local stores. The Publix is a 4 minute drive and NEW Target is a 3 minute drive.
Overall, only positive things to say! Next time we make it down to OBX we hope to stay here again!
We absolutely love this home
We absolutely love this home. It was our families third-year visiting in a row and we already are looking forward to next year. Thank you for such a wonderful stay and for all the lovely beach memories!
Great location and house
Great location and house! We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to renting the home again.
We loved Born to Sun
We loved Born to Sun! Perfect location, right across from the beach, but still walkable to a great coffee shop and a smoothie/acai shop. Close to restaurants as well. The beach cottage was adorable, clean and well equipped. We hope to come back!
We loved Born to Sun
We loved Born to Sun! The house was very cozy and the location was perfect. Brittany was a fantastic host. She gave excellent recommendations and it was clear a lot of thought and time went into ensuring guests have a wonderful experience.
Wonderful location and very clean
Wonderful location and very clean. Owners are investing in their rental with good projects. Neighbors are wonderful and a central location to explore OBX. We stayed a month and wished we had stayed for two. Watched surfers from the deck and beach access within a minutes walk. Our dog loved the month we stayed.
Loved having the owners book rating the area restaurants and can attest to their recommendations. Good internet service and five televisions at the unit.
The house with everything I hoped for
The house with everything I hoped for. The view was even better than the picture showed. The kitchen was well stocked. We loved having the fenced in yard for the dogs. They paid attention to every detail, including a jar of dog treats! Very convenient, favorite restaurants. definitely recommend anyone stay here.
We loved staying at Brittany’s place
We loved staying at Brittany’s place. It has plenty of space with everything we wanted and needed and more! The fenced area for the pets was a huge plus since it was so cold while we were there. (bomb cyclone 2022). I did not want to walk the dogs in that weather. The treats left for the dogs was appreciated as well. We also loved that the home is so close to the beach and the beach could be viewed from the house. We took several walks down there. The home itself is beautiful, clean, and cozy. We did a lot of cooking and baking for our Christmas Day meal, and everything we needed was there. We only needed to pick up the ingredients. We highly recommend Brittany’s home.
Everything was just perfect for a fall beach vacation
Everything was just perfect for a fall beach vacation. We’ve stayed in many houses in the OBX over the years but this was our favorite! Thanks for a great week!
Born to Sun was absolutely amazing
Born to Sun was absolutely amazing! There is NOTHING negative to say about this place. Watching astonishing sunrises from the deck, a 1 min walk to a beautiful beach, great coffee shop within walking distance…what more could you want?! Everything was clean, as described, super dog friendly, and the place is definitely large enough for multiple families. Can’t wait to come back! Thanks again for everything Brittany 🙂
Wonderful location, very clean, great for dogs

Great stay really close to the beach
Great stay really close to the beach! We really appreciated all of the baby stuff (high chair, pack n play with extra mattress, booster seat and baby gate). Beds were comfortable and house had views of the ocean. Would come back!
Cutest beach cottage
Cutest beach cottage. Perfect for 3 people and a pet.
We had a wonderful time
We had a wonderful time! The house is right next to the ocean and was lovely, clean, and had a well stocked kitchen which was helpful because we did most of our meals at home. Very dog friendly with a gate built in so we could all enjoy the deck safely! Would definitely stay again
Amazing location
Amazing location!!! It was wonderful to have two bathrooms and the outdoor shower after long days at the beach. The neighborhood is relatively quiet and there’s some cute places to walk to. We loved the kitchen and outdoor deck. You truly can’t beat the proximity to the beach. We were able to walk home for lunch and often walked back in the evening for more fun. I’d suggest bringing your own sheets, extra blankets, and make sure to pick up some gallon water jugs for the fridge;) We can’t wait to return next summer!
This was a great location with just a short walk to the beach
This was a great location with just a short walk to the beach. The property was clean and well stocked. The washer and dryer were high capacity which made laundry a breeze. We loved our stay at Born to Sun!

This house was BEAUTIFUL
This house was BEAUTIFUL! And the location was absolutely perfect. So close to so many shops & restaurants and a super easy walk to the beach. It was everything we could’ve asked for. We will definitely be back!
Thank you Brittany for a wonderful summer trip to the outer banks with our family

We had an amazing time
We had an amazing time. The house was perfect. Clean, all the basics you need to get started and so close to the beach. Plus I loved the guest book with all the restaurant recommendations! We can’t wait to come back.
If you’re looking for a cute beach cottage just steps away from the ocean
If you're looking for a cute beach cottage just steps away from the ocean, but in the middle of it all, this is your place! Born to Sun couldn't have been more perfect for our family's first trip to the Outer Banks. So many kitchen amenities - we had everything we needed to cook many meals, including a picnic grill in the yard that we definitely made use of. Our teens made several trips down to the coffee and sweet shop down the road, they're both amazing (Trio is also very close and we had a delicious dinner there one night). The welcome book and welcome bag of goodies were both very thoughtful and included a bottle of wine! And of course we took full advantage of having beach access so close. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck and watching the ocean during various times of the day. The entire house was very clean upon arrival, beds were super comfortable and we all had plenty of room to spread out. We will definitely stay again if we are in the KDH area. Love, love, love!
We had a great time
We had a great time! Everything was perfect!
Excellent communication, beautiful views and perfect location
Excellent communication, beautiful views and perfect location. All our kids loved easy beach access and the parents appreciated convenience and the extensive guest book with reviews on places to eat, with additional touches that included things that were particularly good for families with smaller children, like restaurants, activities, etc.
Walking distance to the beach and close to grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, etc
Walking distance to the beach and close to grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. Would stay again.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay
We had an absolutely wonderful stay. Only a few houses down from the public beach access so made coming and going super easy. The kitchen was perfect for making meals and it was just an overall clean, comfortable place to stay.
EXACTLY as posted, PERFECT for four legged family members and I highly recommend
EXACTLY as posted, PERFECT for four legged family members and I highly recommend!
This was a great house and great location
This was a great house and great location! Everything seemed brand new! And it appears all our needs were well thought out amd provided for. We were minutes from all of our favorite places and the coffee shop was excellent! But I think we enjoyed John the most!! We signed up for his sushi making class and it was GREAT! As a matter of fact, if we get back there next year, we have all said that would be a must do again!
And being able to see the beach from my bed was a super bonus!
We had a wonderful vacation
We had a wonderful vacation. The house was clean, comfortable, and perfect location to the beach and any other conveniences!
We loved waking up every morning & walking to Ashley’s Espresso Parlour, then straight to the beach
We loved waking up every morning & walking to Ashley’s Espresso Parlour, then straight to the beach. We spent our evenings eating takeout on the fenced in porch. (Recommend “I got your crabs” in kitty hawk!!) Such a convenient location. Loved the 60’s classic beach cottage feel and all the stylish updates to the kitchen. We had a lovely time & our pup did too. If you’re looking for a classic, low-key OBX trip with a pup and/or little ones this is such a great pick!
A few tips for future guests:
- bring your own linens, towels & extra blankets. Sanitized sheets and towels are provided but they aren’t like home.
- they have a booster seat & high chair 🙌🏼 it looked like there was a pack n play too. I didn’t use it as my daughter is too old but great for those traveling with babies!
- laundry detergent & dryer sheets are provided 🙂
- beach wagon, small cooler, and a couple chairs are provided. We didn’t use them bc we brought our own but I would have used theirs if I knew 🙂
- don’t forget to bring doggy bags!
Great place with a fantastic location
Great place with a fantastic location. Will come back.
Truly the best AirBnB we’ve stayed in
Truly the best AirBnB we’ve stayed in. Seconds to try beach. Clean, comfy, cozy. Received immediate responses from the host. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
This is a very nice place to stay
This is a very nice place to stay. The place is beautiful and steps to the beach. We didn't didn't get to spend much time on the beach because it was super windy, but we were able to find plenty to do and eat some great food for my husband's birthday weekend. Looking forward to coming back and spending more time on the beach!
Couldn’t have asked for a better spot
Couldn't have asked for a better spot! Clean, well furnished house, just steps from the beach! We had plenty of room for our family of 3 and fur baby! Loved the binder with suggestions to get started. Highly recommend!
Can’t say enough nice things
Can’t say enough nice things. This place was perfect for us. Easy access to beach and dog friendly. Nice neighborhood and convenient to all we wanted to do. Brittany was the perfect host. We hope to be back next year!
This home is great
This home is great! We enjoyed our stay tremendously. The location is fantastic, the house is clean and in excellent condition, and the kitchen is updated with everything needed for an enjoyable stay. I highly recommend this home!
We loved our stay
We loved our stay!
This house was great
This house was great! Theres a binder on the coffee table with tons of great information about the area. The cool part about the binder is, instead of random places thrown together, its curated carefully from the families personal experiences. Like restaurants they actually like to eat at, places that their kids enjoy, places that cater to off season guests. That little book was awesome and i never had to use google for suggestions. Also the windows wrap around the living room offering up one amazing view of the ocean!
Wonderful location, gorgeous little house with plenty of room for us, our two little kids, and our 90-pound puppy
Wonderful location, gorgeous little house with plenty of room for us, our two little kids, and our 90-pound puppy. The beach is steps away and dog-friendly, and close enough to make quick trips with toddler and infant who tire easily. There was everything we needed to eat in when necessary and so many great restaurants to choose from nearby, even in February which is way off-season. The welcome book has excellent reviews of a number of places to eat, so definitely check it out! Also loved that they have most major streaming services downloaded on the TVs--we are TV people and appreciate being able to watch a movie at home after a long day! Hoping to visit again for sure!
Awesome and wonderful location, literally a few steps across from the beach
Awesome and wonderful location, literally a few steps across from the beach. Beautifully appointed home, spotlessly clean with everything needed for a stay at the beach. Cannot say enough good things about it. Out of season, the beach is quietly beautiful and our dog certainly approved of walks across the sand - you can go for miles and just enjoy the pelicans and sandpipers. All that said, shopping and restaurants are just a short drive away, or for coffee lovers, just walking to the end of the street. We'll be back!
What a treasure this place is
What a treasure this place is! My family loved the house. The kitchen was perfect for cooking our meals each day and there was plenty of space for everyone to relax. We will definitely be back!
We had a great time
We had a great time. Weather was not amazing for a couple of days, but there were lots of games in the closet to play with our 4 year old. Location was fantastic and view of the ocean was amazing. Kitchen was lovely and well-stocked.
Adorable house, perfect location with fenced area for dogs and less the 0.1 miles to beach and great coffee shop

we spent Thanksgiving holiday at Brittany’s place and it was absolutely fantastic
we spent Thanksgiving holiday at Brittany's place and it was absolutely fantastic! The house was perfect for a family of four and we appreciated so much the amenities for our dog! The hosts left us a very thoughtful welcome gift that even included items for our holiday meal! The location is perfect! Very short walk to beach..less than a minute and you can see the ocean from the deck. I spotted a whale while I was drinking coffee!! There is also a great coffee shop down the street and quiet roads you can walk your pet if you bring one. The place is immaculate and communication was great. We will definitely be back!

Houses like this are why I love Airbnb
Houses like this are why I love Airbnb. Allows you to feel like you’re at home in a way that typical vacation rentals and hotels simply cannot. The house was exactly as described and I echo the other reviews - easy, short walk to the beach and a perfect cottage for our family trip. Coffee shop at the end of the street was a nice perk as well. Will definitely be back.

The only thing I can Think of that you may want to bring, are extension cords. We use them for charging our phones outside on the deck and inside.

Wow
Wow!! A tasteful touch of everything and more a family or a few good friend's need to escape the daily lives we leave to enjoy Kill Devil Hills!! All the comforts of home from kitchen utensils to beautiful linens. Plenty of space to gather or have personal space. The pictures are on point and the host accommodating and at the ready if needed. Even our fur baby had a blast! Don't pass this one by....the beach such a short walk not to mention a great view of it from the deck!

Absolutely loved our time at Brittany’s place in Kill Devil Hills
Absolutely loved our time at Brittany’s place in Kill Devil Hills! It’s truly steps to the beach with an ocean view on the front porch where we sat and drank our morning coffee. It’s also walking distance from tens of shops, cafes, restaurants, and mini golf.
The home itself was a perfect space with updated interiors and ample room! We loved that our pups could enjoy our vacay with us which is really rare for any listing! Would definitely stay again.
