Hidden in plain sight on a quiet side street in Kill Devil Hills at milepost 7.5, It's a Ruff Life features five bedrooms and is pet-friendly with a private 24'x12' pool. This home boasts a long list of amenities, and is conveniently located to both the beach and Wright Brothers Monument, each of which can be seen in the distance from one of the many decks at this family vacation oasis.

It's a Ruff Life boasts a hot tub, flat-screen TVs in every bedroom, an expanded pool area with a privacy fence, and a separate fenced-in large grassy yard with a park grill, picnic table, and cornhole boards. Speaking of bedding, It’s a Ruff Life realizes even the closest families need that private space to retreat to during their vacation. The bedrooms include two king en suites as well as another king and two queens, one with a semiprivate bath. Adding to the appeal, four of these rooms have access to either shaded or sun decks. The wide-open great room with connecting living and dining room provides the ideal area for family gatherings, such as movie night or evening dinner. The gourmet kitchen with its quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances provides a place to prepare a seafood feast that any chef would be proud to cook in.

Hard to believe with our busy beaches, but It’s a Ruff Life truly is tucked back on a side street and is still near what many would call the center of everything this area has to offer. Guests will appreciate being approximately 500 feet away from a less-traveled beach access and also only a quarter mile from the KDH life-saving station. Pet are welcome to tag along, and the Wright Brothers National Memorial provides a fantastic place for exercising with your four-legged friends.

Please note this home does not include bed linens and towels, however, an optional package can be purchased for an additional charge.

This vacation home is a member of the Kilmarlic K-Club. Enjoy special golf rates, instructional clinics, private lessons, and exclusive transportation services to the K-Club.

Pet friendly (two dog limit).

The private pool is available from 4/7/24 - 10/13/24.

This house was clean beautiful and well equipped. It is the best house we have stayed in the obx and we have been renting for 30 years! The kitchen was really well equipped with everything you could need. All the beds and sofas were comfortable. You can tell the owners take great pride in their beautiful beach house. Would love to stay here again!

The place was perfect for our entire family and our Great Dane. We had a blast staying here it was close enough to the beach that we could walk to it and not be tired and the elevator was a huge plus for my in-laws. The ONLY thing we wished was different was that the door to the bathroom right next to the elevator swung OUT and not in. It was hard for my father-in-law to get his walker in there. Other than that little issue we WILL be back in the future!!!!

Loved the house. Well stocked clean and pet friendly. The fences in yard was perfect. Kitchen is very well furnished with cookware bowls etc. Beds and living space are very comfortable and nicely decorated. The 3rd level gets extremely warm with the afternoon sun so blinds in the windows in that area would assist in cooling down the area.

beds comfortable

Needs at least an umbrella stand by the pool for some shade. A clock outside by the pool would also have been nice. Kitchen should have a garbage disposal. All beds were comfortable.

After searching many locations in the Outer Banks we chose this house and were very pleased! We traveled with our three grown children and their significant others. Appreciated the spacious beds and private bathrooms for most. The house was well equipped and we loved having the pool hot tub and fenced in yard. we found the house to be very accommodating with a well equipped kitchen and even things like the pooper scooper outside. The corn hole boards got used daily! The short walk to the beach was easily manageable. Would definitely stay here again! First time visiting the Outer Banks and will definitely be back!
