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 BEFORE BOOKING. There is 1 dog allowed with no pet fee. If you'd like to bring a 2nd dog, please request it, and based on age/breed/size, I might allow it. If so, there will be a pet fee.

There is only one queen bed in the room and not enough space on either side of the bed for additional sleeping space, so the max guests is limited to 2.

    This property was absolutely perfect for us and our dog. The location was great and the private deck and fenced back yard were an added bonus. Our dog was very happy with that! The room was extremely clean and comfortable. Jeanne-Marie is an excellent host and was extremely pleasant and helpful with suggestions as to restaurants and things to do. Will certainly stay here again on our next visit to OBX.

    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.

    Host is GRACIOUSLY inviting and communicates check-in and check-out procedure perfectly. Room is perfect size for a solo traveler with any size dog, or a couple with a small to medium dog. Quaint and inviting accommodations include a queen bed that’s super comfortable, a smart TV for nights in or rainy days, Wi-Fi, and a mini fridge for beverages. Yard space is great for dogs to exercise in and do business! The OBX area is bustling with things to do. The efficiency studio is just a short walk to the sound and a bike ride or short drive to the Atlantic coast. Also short drives to Wright Brothers monument, tourist destinations like Duck, and easy access to restaurants, activities, and groceries with a Publix and Target by each other. And there's plenty to do for dog families too — just keep Fido leashed at all times and pick up his business, and you’re set! There are zero flaws to this space if you fit the bill. It’s a perfect-sized getaway space for folks who want to get out on the town more, while still offering solace after a busy day or during rain!

    What a great stay. The room with so comfortable and cozy. The property manager had amazing communication with us so we knew exactly where to go and then what amenities and beaches were around it. My husband said it was the most comfortable sleep he had had on that mattress!

    Consider yourself lucky if you ever have the opportunity to enjoy a small piece of paradise. You'll never come across a more accommodating host/homeowner. Those with pets and/or children will appreciate being a short walking distance from things like mini golf or the sound side if you like calmer waters. Those like my wife will love that there is a Dunkin's just a 3 minute drive away, with several restaurants not much further. If you or any loved ones have never seen a light house, there's one less than an hour away. So consider adding it to the list of special sights to encounter during your visit. I'll personally admit the only downside to this serene location and environment is you can't stay forever.

    This was an excellent find for a relaxed, one week getaway to the OBX for me and my medium-sized dog. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood very close to the sound so we had wonderful sunset walks along a multi-use path. It was very convenient to go to Jockey's Ridge State Park, Nags Head Woods, or the Wright Brothers Memorial for a few hours of adventure with the dog and then come back for a little downtime at the beach. Jeanne Marie is a welcoming host – responsive to questions and provided great suggestions for restaurants all within 5-20 min (Salt Box Cafe is a must). The shaded deck and large backyard expanded the compact, indoor living space. The deck was perfect for enjoying coffee or a drink and watching the pup run around the securely fenced backyard (a real bonus for a hovering pet parent). The bedroom and bath were tasteful and very clean but no closet. There is a spacious mini fridge with a separate freezer for saving that ice cream that I just couldn't finish. The host kindly provided some starter coffee until I could go to the nearby Publix. All in all, this was a very comfortable and peaceful place to stay which I would definitely book again.

    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!

    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!

    This trip was absolutely perfect—a 10/10 experience! I highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a peaceful beach retreat, especially couples traveling with a dog. The property is beautifully maintained, clean, and thoughtfully designed. It’s an ideal getaway for those who want to relax and unwind in a serene setting. The porch was our favorite spot, surrounded by well-kept plants—it felt like our own little oasis. We spent hours enjoying the quiet, peaceful atmosphere there. Our dog, Bentley, was in heaven! He loved lounging on the porch, playing in the spacious, fenced backyard, and taking long walks along the beach. The property is not only perfect for pets but also offers plenty of cozy spots for couples to relax. The host was incredibly responsive, making sure we had everything we needed and offering excellent recommendations for local activities. As avid runners, we appreciated the scenic sound path nearby, where we ran every day. Each evening, we took Bentley to watch the sunset at one of the many water access points—a perfect way to end the day. This trip was truly wonderful, and we can’t wait to return.

    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.
