The Avalon House - Vacation rental home in Kill Devil Hills, NC

There’s something special about a classic Outer Banks beach bungalow—and this impressive 3-bedroom, 1-bath getaway in Avalon Beach has held onto all the character that makes these homes so appreciated.

Constructed in the 1950s and thoughtfully refreshed with some modern touches, this oceanside bungalow blends vintage OBX appeal with the amenities you want for an easygoing beach vacation. Original tongue-and-groove wood walls and ceilings and elegant wood floors give the home a warm, nostalgic feel, while the open den and kitchen create a comfortable space for everybody to gather. 

The enclosed front porch adds even more room to relax and is the ideal spot for morning coffee, an afternoon book, or a cold drink after a day on the beach.

And when we say close to the beach, we mean it. The ocean is just two blocks away, so you can leave the car at home, grab your beach bag, and be on the sand in mins.. You’ll also be just two blocks from Avalon Pier, a longtime Kill Devil Hills landmark at Milepost 6 known for fishing, ocean vistas, its arcade, casual food and drinks, and that unmistakable old-school Outer Banks ambiance.

Avalon Beach itself is one of Kill Devil Hills’ oldest communities, stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to Kitty Hawk Bay. It’s a wonderfully central part of the Outer Banks—laid-back and residential while still putting vacation essentials close at hand. Grocery stores, Target, a movie theater, stores, eateries and more are all close by, making it painless to spend less time in the car and more time appreciating your vacation.

Simple, comfortable and full of coastal character, this isn’t a cookie-cutter beach home—and that’s exactly the point. It’s a little piece of classic Kill Devil Hills, just a short walk from the ocean and one of the Outer Banks’ most iconic piers.
