2602 Virginia Dare Trail Lot 3, Kill Devil Hills

Some homes simply feel like the Outer Banks—and this is one of them. This classic Outer Banks beach cottage captures the character and nostalgia of the old Nags Head style cottages, while thoughtful updates and modern conveniences make it perfectly suited for the way we vacation today. Just steps from the beach with ocean views, 2 living areas, and expansive outdoor living, the home was made for gathering. The open living and dining areas bring everyone together, while a second living area offers space for games, movies or simply spreading out. Four bedrooms, each with its own private bath, give everyone a comfortable retreat. Outside, the experience continues with covered and uncovered decks offering plenty of places to enjoy the salt air, morning coffee and ocean views. Out back, a custom covered bar with generous seating, brick patio and sandy volleyball court create a gathering spot all their own. The sellers have thoughtfully improved the home over the years with quartz countertops, updated appliances, a tankless water heater, composite decking, updated HVAC components and more—but perhaps the best testament to what they've created comes from the people who have stayed here. A successful vacation rental with a 4.98 Airbnb rating and Guest Favorite status, the home has inspired guests to call it their “best family beach vacation yet” and praise its thoughtful details, comfortable layout, abundant outdoor spaces and incredible proximity to the beach. Many say they would return—and some already have. The central Kill Devil Hills location puts you close to shopping, dining, groceries and Avalon Pier, while still being just steps from the beach. Come Fourth of July, skip the crowds and enjoy one of the best perks of the location - watch the Town of Kill Devil Hills fireworks over Avalon Pier right from home! A little nostalgic, a lot of fun, and filled with the character that made people fall in love with the Outer Banks in the first place. Come experience it for yourself! *Listing provided courtesy of the MLS.
