ALMOST HEAVEN - Vacation rental home in Kill Devil Hills, NC

With the Atlantic surf breaking just beyond the dune line, ALMOST HEAVEN sets the tone before you ever unpack. This Carolina Designs oceanfront home in Kill Devil Hills sleeps a crowd in ten bedrooms and sits directly across the street from the Wright Brothers National Memorial. Two landmark views, one address, and a backyard built for a week you will talk about for years.

Overview

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Positioned at Milepost 7.5 in the heart of Kill Devil Hills, Almost Heaven pairs uninterrupted oceanfront views with "across the street views" of the historic Wright Brothers National Memorial, and this home is pet-friendly, welcoming up to two dogs for an additional fee. The top level captures an immaculate view of the Atlantic, while a private walkway to the beach ends at a large, elevated seating area where family and friends can claim a front row seat to the ocean.

An elevator makes moving between floors easier for elderly travelers and turns luggage and grocery hauling into a non-event. Throughout the house, nine TVs are provided with the Spectrum app (guests use their own logins for other apps, Netflix, etc.), and free high-speed wireless internet keeps everyone connected.

The front yard presents incredible landscaping. The backyard is a resort unto itself: a spectacular 34 x 17 private pool, a hot tub, a cabana, a gas grill, an outdoor shower, a volleyball area, a basketball hoop, and the private walkway to the beach with its dune-top deck. Downstairs, an expansive game room and media area give every age group somewhere to land. Ten parking spaces and an available EV charger round out the practical details of this OBX vacation rental, which offers Saturday check-in.

This home's location puts you near the Wright Brothers National Memorial, excellent Outer Banks restaurants, shopping, jogging and biking trails, playgrounds, and a variety of nightly activities for the whole family.
