Oceanfront Cottage - 3 bedroom & 2 bathrooms - Great Ocean Views - Pet Friendly

Come enjoy our oceanfront beach home in the heart of Kill Devil Hills by Avalon Pier. A great open floor plan for beach lovers, fishers, surfers and families. Enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner with oceanfront views in the newly renovated kitchen. Two of the three bedrooms and the living room are oceanfront. The kitchen and dining area lead out onto an oceanfront deck. The deck offers great sunshine in the morning and in the afternoon a shady break from the sun’s rays. Perfect for parents seeking to enjoy the beach and solitude of their kid's afternoon nap (after wearing themselves ragged from a morning on the beach) while sitting on a oceanfront deck with a baby monitor, reading a book, sipping a drink and listening to the waves.

Walk to Chilipeppers, Avalon Pier, or Awful Arthurs for dinner, drinks or both! Avalon Pier (just a short walk on the beach from the house) also has a fun arcade for the kids. Visit the Wright Brothers National Memorial (just a short drive) and see where the first flight took place. Drive to one of the lighthouses or as many as you can cram into your trip! Currituck Beach Lighthouse - 60 min drive, Cape Hatteras Lighthouse - 60 min drive, Bodie Island Lighthouse - 20 min drive (if you go to Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, you’ll drive right by Bodie), Ocracoke Island Lighthouse - 70 min drive + ferry ride + 15 min drive, Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse - 15 mins. The North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island is just 15 mins away and has an amazing sea turtle exhibit, jellyfish exhibit and a great shark tank! There’s plenty to do in Kill Devil Hills, from family-friendly putt-putt golf to late-night bands and DJ's (Outer Banks Brewing Station & Jack Brown’s). Be sure and watch a sunset from Jockey’s Ridge State Park in Nags Head (just 10 mins away) or at least stop by and climb up the East Coast’s largest living sand dune for ocean to sound views! Eat a Mahi-Mahi BLT from Blue Moon in Nags Head and stop in I Got Your Crabs in Kitty Hawk or O'neal's Sea Harvest in Wanchese for fresh off the boat seafood.

If you like Avalon Pier, take a drive and visit all the oceanfront pier bars. Each one with its own unique flavor - Captain Andy’s Tiki Bar at Nags Head Fishing Pier and Fishheads at Outer Banks Fishing Pier (locals hint: go on a live music night).

This rental has lots of room for multiple activities. Good Vibrations features large open living spaces with unobstructed ocean views from the main living room, kitchen and dining room table. On those rare rainy days, you can watch a movie with the family and still enjoy great views of the beach and the Atlantic Ocean.

Excellent Beach Rental

I have stayed in many different OBX rentals and this one was one of the best. We were quite impressed with the kitchen appointments (especially the stocked herb and spices, coffee filters and other amenities). Everything was very clean when we arrived, the views from the upstairs bedrooms were awesome. It was so nice to step off the deck onto the beach. The owners were very responsive to our inquiries before our trip! We are looking forward to staying here again.

Our Second Stay

This was our second stay and enjoyed it as much as we did in 2021! The location is perfect given the beach is steps off the deck so you can stay out for 20 minutes or all day with no fuss. The place is well-appointed and a 5-30 minute drive to all Outer Banks activities. Great for our family of four!

Love this oceanfront home!

This home is clean, roomy, well-stocked, and is right on the ocean with its own path over the dunes to the beach. It has a lovely updated covered deck and is everything my family could want, with comfy beds and plenty of seating. The home itself is on a quiet, almost rustic-feeling residential street, and yet shopping and restaurants are within easy driving distance. This was our second stay at this home and we hope to return many times.
