Honu Hut
Welcome to Honu Hut in the heart of the Soundside of Kill Devil Hills. Honu- is Hawaiian for turtle-amazing creatures of the sea. This inspired the home and we look forward to sharing it with our guests. We are located in a more residential area for a hometown island feel but an easy drive to the many public beach accesses available in town. Walk to the sound for a sunset or enjoy bike rides around the neighborhood but easy access to all of the restaurants, activities and amenities of the OBX.

Good location to beach access and main road, quiet with good yard space for pets (not entirely enclosed though). Clean and beautifully done inside. Would recommend!
Excellent location and great amenities
Excellent location and great amenities! Was a perfect place for our group of 4+toddler and Husky. Especially loved the fenced yard and outdoor showers. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality and guidebook that told us how to easily walk to the beach! We would stay here again!
We had a wonderful stay at Honu Hut beach house
We had a wonderful stay at Honu Hut beach house! The home is modern, cozy, and extremely clean. The kitchen was impressively well equipped—perfect for cooking meals during our stay. The family room was very comfortable and great for relaxing after a day at the beach. Our kids enjoyed the open space to play board games and we also really appreciated that the house was dog-friendly with a secure fenced yard, which gave us peace of mind and privacy. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable getaway!

The house was put together very well and very clean
The house was put together very well and very clean. The backyard was wonderful and great for people with pets being completely fenced in. Overall it was very nice and a decent location and easy walk to the beach if just taking a walk. Parking for the beach was very conveniently located not far as well.
The home was beautiful and had everything we needed to have a great time in OBX
The home was beautiful and had everything we needed to have a great time in OBX. It was also in a convenient location with lots to do. Everything was either walkable or a short drive away. We loved our time here!
Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your home
Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your home. Everything was exactly as described. The home was beautiful and very clean, we immediately felt right at home. We vacationed a few days with our two kids and dog. The kids loved having their own bedrooms and the fenced in backyard was a perfect space. You have truly thought of everything. The binder with suggestions was so useful. We had delicious coffees and dinners per the recommendations! The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked with everything you could need. 10/10!! Thanks again for making OBX a great experience!

The Honu Hut was amazing, we were sad to have to leave
The Honu Hut was amazing, we were sad to have to leave. Communication was excellent before and after checking in, our dog loved the yard, we loved riding bikes to the beach and along the trail by the sound. We would definitely stay here again.
The perfect place for a beach vacation
The perfect place for a beach vacation! Walkable to the beach, nice fenced in backyard, and clean! Highly recommend.
We had an absolutely wonderful time during our stay
We had an absolutely wonderful time during our stay. The hosts provided lots of information we needed to make it memorable and easy. The house had everything we needed and more. We especially loved sitting outside in the evenings enjoying the beautiful spring weather and counting stars in the sky. We put puzzles together on the kitchen table and watched a number of fun movies and shows from the comfort of the large sofa. We also slept very well in the comfortable beds and in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. We were conveniently located to everything we needed on a vacation and a huge plus was our hosts left many great suggestions for restaurants and cafes close by that we loved. The beach was amazing and we were able to see lots of dolphins, seagulls, and pelicans. All-in-all we had a wonderful time and we definitely will look forward to another stay at Chelsey and Darren's beach house very soon. Absolutely loved it!
Chelsey and Darren’s home was perfect for our family beach vacation
Chelsey and Darren’s home was perfect for our family beach vacation. It was clean, comfortable, and close to everything we needed. We were able to bring our 2 dogs and they felt right at home which eased our anxiety about bringing them somewhere new. We would highly recommend their home and would love to visit again very soon.
Great place for a couple – loved the cruisers, the outdoor tv space, hammocks and outdoor showers
Great place for a couple - loved the cruisers, the outdoor tv space, hammocks and outdoor showers! Very comfy bed too! And great communication with hosts!
The Honu Hut is the perfect place to stay for a trip to OBX
The Honu Hut is the perfect place to stay for a trip to OBX. It is in the perfect location to spend time at both the sound and the beach. The hosts offer use of beach cruiser bikes, which gave us a fun activity every morning to get coffee and explore the area. We loved staying here and can’t wait to come back!
This was the cutest spot even the neighbors were friendly
This was the cutest spot even the neighbors were friendly! it's a short walk to the beach, sunsets, sunrise and you can even borrow their bikes! Everything was super clean and convenient! You really don't even need a car unless you plan to explore the whole area or if you want to drive to specific food places or to Walmart, it's about a 15 min drive. I enjoyed my stay, appreciated the outdoor shower after the beach, and definitely plan to come back!
The Honu Hut is the absolute perfect spot for a couple’s getaway trip
The Honu Hut is the absolute perfect spot for a couple's getaway trip. Clean, quaint, relaxing, and in a great location. You are just a bike ride away from the beach, the bay, the bike path, local cafe shops, restaurants, bars - you will rarely need your car! Chelsey & Darren were the greatest hosts. Awesome, kind and welcoming people (Tyson too). Darren was so kind and helped us when we had car troubles one day and Chelsey offered us so many awesome suggestions on places to go/things to do we never once felt unsure of what to do. We miss this place already & hope to visit again soon! Highly, highly recommend!
Small and quaint, nestled in a quiet neighborhood, just enough room space for a couple
Small and quaint, nestled in a quiet neighborhood, just enough room space for a couple. No kitchenette, however a backyard with a grill and a patio was free for us to use. Car port hang out spot with outdoor furniture was pretty neat. Our door showers were pretty clutch! Located just a block or two from the beach!
Chelsey and Darren were wonderful hosts
Chelsey and Darren were wonderful hosts! Their place was super clean and easy find and not to mention in a great location. I highly recommend staying here whenever you visit the OBX!

Chelsey and Darren have a beautiful space that they are so generous to share with others! We had an amazing weekend and felt very relaxed.

My husband and I had such a great time at the Honu Hut
My husband and I had such a great time at the Honu Hut! Chelsey & Darren have a great place in Kill Devil Hills and we love all the details they have incorporated to make it feel cozy! We loved having access to bikes and how close we were to restaurants, coffee shops, and the beach. The space was clean, and we had a super easy check-in. We will definitely be visiting again, especially to see Tyson, their friendly boxer 🙂

This place is absolutely amazing
This place is absolutely amazing. Its close proximity to everything from restaurants, the beach, even the Brew Thru, and mini-golf was awesome. The room's decor and comfort were spot on and even having beach bikes and beach chairs was such an awesome touch. Chelsey & Darren themselves were incredibly friendly and so helpful. Would recommend their place a 1000x over to anyone wanting to stay in OBX. Jen & Kris July 2021
Chelsea and Darren were amazing hosts
Chelsea and Darren were amazing hosts! We had a great stay in the Honu Hut. The house was adorable with the most amazing detailed touches. Darren and Chelsea put hard work into their home and it shows. The location is great, the home was super clean, and everything was perfect. We took the bikes down to watch the sunset, which was so beautiful. We loved getting to meet their dog Tyson, and enjoyed so much getting to chat with them in the evening. As a couple that loves Hawaii—the house took us back to our favorite islands. They both had awesome recommendations for food! We also recommend going to OBX yoga for beach yoga at the pier and grabbing a bite of Crumbl cookies!
This space was so clean and perfect for us
This space was so clean and perfect for us! It is a short walk to the beach and food, plus Chelsey & Darren had all the supplies you would need! They were amazing hosts and we would definitely stay here again.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay
My husband and I enjoyed our stay. Super cute and clean. Chelsey and Darren are wonderful hosts. Very friendly and they gave great suggestions for restaurants. Would recommend this sweet little spot for a couple. The home is not on the beach side but less than 10 min walk to beach access.
The perfect air bnb
The perfect air bnb! My boyfriend and I stayed for 3 nights and it had everything we could have wanted. Quick walk/bike to the beach and such a cute and cozy space. Darren and Chelsey are extremely welcoming and had the best recommendations! We hope to come back next year!
Elegant place with great amenities
Elegant place with great amenities. In a quiet neighborhood - yet within easy walking and driving distance to the sound, the beach, restaurants, and stores. As good as the photos on the website are --the place is even better in reality. We'll definitely stay here again and we'll recommend it to friends. Chelsey and Darren are warm and gracious people.They were available to us when we had questions. It was fun to talk with them.
Great place

This is the cutest little OBX stay
This is the cutest little OBX stay! It’s the perfect location between the beach and the sound. Chelsey & Darren are so hospitable and have thought of everything to make you as comfortable as possible. According to my husband, the towels were so soft that it felt like “hugging a tiny sheep,” haha! And, if you’re lucky, you’ll get to meet their sweet pup! You definitely want to stay here 🙂
It was such a clean and cozy space
It was such a clean and cozy space. They were very personable left a sweet note and some wine for our anniversary. Our favorite part was having the bikes to ride down by the sound and to our favorite coffee shop, and having the outside shower- always my favorite part about the beach. Overall it was a great experience as our first time using Air BNB, we will be back!
Chelsey and Darren are one of the best hosts I’ve stayed with

The Honu Hut is a perfect, clean, and extremely well located Airbnb in the OBX. Chelsey + Darren went above and beyond to give me tips on where to eat and fun places to go. A perfect vacation spot!
Honu Hut was the perfect place to stay for our extended weekend in obx
Honu Hut was the perfect place to stay for our extended weekend in obx. We had so much fun riding the beach cruisers around and the location was awesome, just a few minutes from the beach and the sound (on a bike or on foot). The hosts were very friendly and attentive. Overall a very pleasant experience 🙂
Expect a clean, well decorated, and private space

This space was great for our trip
This space was great for our trip. We loved the Honu Hut and The outer Banks! We will be back for sure!
Lovely retreat
Lovely retreat. Really enjoyed the outdoor spaces to sit in shade or sun. Friendly and accommodating hosts!
We had a great stay
We had a great stay! There were lots of good places to go and we were able to use so many of their beach amenities. More importantly Chelsea and Darren are very hospitable and awesome! Highly recommend this place.
This was a perfect Airbnb for our 5 day stay in the Outer Banks
This was a perfect Airbnb for our 5 day stay in the Outer Banks. The location is right between the beach and the sound so we were able to spend all day at the beach and walk to the sound at night for beautiful sunsets. Chelsey and Darren's place had everything we needed and was super cute. We were most appreciative of the bikes and loved having an outdoor shower for after the beach. Chelsey and Darren also had great recommendations for places to eat, beach parking (not that you have to drive-definitely close enough to walk), etc. We would highly recommend this Airbnb!
Cozy, comfortable, accommodating, helpful, relaxing are the perfect descriptive words for the Honu Hut
Cozy, comfortable, accommodating, helpful, relaxing are the perfect descriptive words for the Honu Hut. Chelsea and Darren were the kindest spirits and know how to do hospitality so well. The location, the bikes, the binder filled with tips, and the beach equipment were some of the best parts. Highly recommend spending your time in Outer Banks here.
Chelsey & Darren were amazing hosts
Chelsey & Darren were amazing hosts! From having great amenities, a clean beautiful place, and a personalized note - we immediately felt right home. Will definitely be back!
The hut is truly a must visit place when in NC
The hut is truly a must visit place when in NC. I was skeptical about staying in a private room/area that the hosts were also living at but i’m glad i gave it a try. The room is sparkling clean and the bathroom is amazing. They have a binder full of recommendations and also leave a bunch of stuff for their guests to use at the beach out. The location is perfect, not too slow and not too busy. You are minutes away from the beach for a to die for sunrise and minutes away from the sound for the sunset. I was so sad to leave, but will be returning to the hut when I can.
FIVE STARS
FIVE STARS! Chelsey & Darren were amazing host! Their place is perfect for a little getaway. We appreciated all the amenities they provided and the local suggestions were a hit! We will def stay here again!
Perfect location if you want to be close enough to walk or bike to everything
Perfect location if you want to be close enough to walk or bike to everything, while also being out of the way. Our stay was wonderful! Chelsey and Darren were great hosts while also allowing us plenty of privacy. Many personal touches such as a handwritten note when we arrived, water bottles, coffee k-cups (which are very handy for a quick brew before heading to the beach for the beautiful sunrise), use of their bikes, beach chairs, and outdoor space as well a whole portfolio with tips and suggestions for our stay. Will definitely be staying again for our next OBX get away!
