Overview
Whatever the season, good times are in bloom at The Gardenia House, a beautiful 12-bedroom oceanfront estate at Milepost 8 in Kill Devil Hills. With over 8,000 square feet of living space that incorporate twelve bedrooms and many common areas, this seaside mansion can comfortably accommodate a multi-family group. Relax by the pool, or enjoy the spectacular views of the ocean and the Wright Brothers National Memorial. Indoor entertainment choices range from billiards to a home theater. Ocean proximity of this estate is a highlight: the waves of the Atlantic are just over the dunes, accessible by a private beach walkway. Start each day with a stroll along the shore or a dip in the sea, then return for an afternoon in the hot tub or an evening around the gas grill. With an elevator serving all three levels, 12 parking spaces, 17 TVs, three highchairs, and free high-speed wireless internet, this Outer Banks retreat is built for large groups traveling together.

Kill Devil Hills
Kill Devil Hills sits in the heart of the Outer Banks, close to grocery stores, surf shops, boutiques, and dining that ranges from family fare to finer restaurants along the beach road and the bypass. Bike and walking paths, playgrounds, a skate park, go-carts, bowling, and miniature golf are all nearby, as is the Wright Brothers Memorial. Lifeguards are stationed every half-mile along this stretch of beach during the summer season, and oceanfront homes like this one enjoy direct beach access.
Path to Beach: Due to shifting ocean currents and wind, it is normal for sand to accumulate on this home's beach steps and walkway.
