About this property
Sand Life - Pelican's Upper Deck!
A real treat to stay in a cottage with private beach access for our guests! Ocean views from every room! Simple 1955 layout-2 bedrooms on each side separated by a bathroom between each. Center common area includes kitchen, dining, & living with access to a large deck! Enjoy the 66 year old character-uneven floors & other quirks in the space. The reason you would rent this home is to spend time at the beach & be conveniently located on the line of KH & Kill Devil Hills -get out & explore the OBX!

About the host
Hosted by Gia Nicole Palacorolla
HELLO There! I moved to the OBX from Ellicott City, MD in 2013. I studied Human Nutrition, Foods & Exercise with an emphasis in Exercise & Health Promotion at Virginia Tech & put that knowledge to work on a daily basis as a Pilates Instructor at the only classical Pilates Studio in the OBX, The Presidio of Pilates! In addition to my education, my love for business & entrepreneurial spirit led me to Hosting! I CoHost multiple spaces in locations throughout the United States and as a Professional Referrer of hosting I take great joy in teaching folks how to start their own business hosting by themselves or with assistance. I have taught a course at the local church - The Path To Financial Freedom! I LOVE to TRAVEL - so reach out if you would like me to teach a course in YOUR home town in the US or Internationally!
Things that bring me great joy:
1. My relationships with my K9 Medusa, kitties Oli & Sassy, close friends & family, clients & guests!
2. Water (referring to all large bodies of water....not the beverage! ;)
3. Beach walks & Podcasts!
4. Meditation
5. Pilates
6. Quotes!!
I am grateful for every guest, & potential new host, I correspond with! I look forward to hosting YOU, your loved ones, and many more in the months and years to come...truly a labor of love! Should you need assistance in hosting your own property, I would be delighted to help you with that AS WELL!
