About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private efficiency close to the beach & bay! Great for couples. Dog-friendly.

Enjoy more than just the beach in this bright and airy 1 bedroom 1 bathroom efficiency with porch and fenced yard, located in a quiet, centrally located neighborhood. It's just one block from the bay/sound, and an easy walk or bike to the beach!

The interior space has queen bed, dresser, desk, flat screen smart tv with cable AND roku (with netflix, discovery app, etc), coffee maker, microwave and mini fridge. New linens, comforters and towels at the beginning of every season. The bathroom is nautically themed, with walk-in tile shower and granite countertop vanity. Walk out onto the porch for coffee or a cocktail, to hear the birds & smell the salt air. There's a small ocean peek from the porch.

The fenced yard makes it easy to bring your fur baby! Just relax and enjoy the beach or the bay, you'll be able to go see sunrises over the ocean, and sunsets over the sound.

It's a short walk to the beach, with a pedestrian-friendly stoplight crosswalk. Or, it's about a 30 second drive to one of the many public beach access, all with free parking.

The bedroom, bathroom and covered porch are private to you. There is a shared entrance area to walk through (shared with the owner) to get to the stairs that lead to the private porch and the private room/bathroom. The porch overlooks a fully fenced yard that is shared with the owner and her dogs. (I minimize the time my dogs spend in the yard while guests are there. It's usually just a few minutes in the morning and in the evening. I arrange the time I let them out to avoid contact with guest dogs.)

The neighborhood has a soundfront bike path that spans for miles along the water, which is a great place to walk, bike or jog, and this area is known for it's amazing sunsets. All you have to do is walk down the street and explore. You can even follow the path all the way to the Wright Brothers Monument. There's a breakfast place one block away, 2 coffee shops within 2 blocks and more shops and restaurants all within a short walk.

I live above the unit, so I'm happy to give recommendations for restaurants, activities, or help with anything you may need. While I do my best to be as quiet as I can, you may hear footsteps and the dogs barking from time to time.

Please note the house rules that there is a 2-dog limit.

Clean and comfortable!
We enjoyed our short stay at Jeanne-Marie’s property. We got to chat with Jeanne-Marie for a bit before heading out and she was very sweet! We appreciated the water bottles, only wish that coffee was provided for the coffee maker, but that’s not a big deal. The area is very nice and we got to check out the Wright Brothers museum which is nearby!

This efficiency was perfect for me and my dog. The room was very clean and had all the essentials. I really appreciated the private deck with lots of room to sit and the fenced in yard. The host was very friendly and offered several suggestions for how to best access the beach and bay walkway.

Weekend Getaway
The room worked well for us and our small dog. It was much better than staying in a hotel. It was nice to be able to sit on the private deck in the evening and our dog had space to roam on the deck and in the yard.

I loved this beautiful neighborhood, it had a lovely walking path near the sound, and quiet wallable streets within the neighborhood itself. It was so close to nice coffee shops and within minutes driving to the beach. It was the perfect size for us and my dog loved exploring and relaxing on the deck. Jeanne-Marie was easily reachable and very kind in giving us suggestions. What a quiet, peaceful stay.

Quiet and convenient, dog friendly!
I stayed for three nights, with a medium-sized dog. The location is convenient, the room is small, but has everything that you need, including a desk and mini-fridge. The bathroom is clean and updated/spa-like decor. The porch/deck is large and comfy. The fenced yard is a great bonus. Would be nice: a microwave to heat up restaurant leftovers, a ceiling fan on the deck/porch for when there isn’t a good breeze, replace carpet with vinyl. Would definitely stay again.

We had a great weekend!
The place was very clean, with a lot of character. Pay attention to the listing, it's really just a room and bathroom with no kitchen facilities. But it's meticulously tended and very comfortable. The lovely, shaded private deck makes up for the lack of living space in nice weather (which we had). Location is great - a bit of a hike to the ocean beach, but a short drive to public beach access with parking if that's more your speed. Jeanne Marie was a terrific host, and we would definitely do it again!

Great location, perfect getaway
We had never been to the Outer Banks, and our stay at this little Kill Devil Hills room was a great home base for us to explore from. The room is small but updated and with everything you need. The balcony access on the second floor was perfect for lounging in mornings and evenings. And it was so great to have access to Jeanne-Marie's backyard for our pup to frolic in when he wanted a bit more room. Jeanne-Marie provided the best recommendations -- we visited three of her suggested restaurants and took a stroll on the path along the sound, as she highly recommended, which was beautiful at sunset. She was super responsive when we had questions, too, and it was nice to know she was easy to reach. As we were driving home, my husband said he'd happily stay here again if we return!

KDH room
While we were comfortable overall, I would suggest an extra blanket because it was quite cool in the room and we were not able to adjust the thermostat. Also, the outside stairwell was super dark at night, a light would have been helpful. A hair dryer and soap for the shower would have been great too. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.
