About this property

Semi-Oceanfront~Ocean Views~Direct Beach Access~Kill Devil Hills

See, smell, and hear the ocean enjoying sunrise in the morning or evening cocktails on the porch at this semi-oceanfront beach house in Kill Devil Hills! As close as you can get to oceanfront without being on the ocean, the only thing between you and the beach will be the "Beach Road" and the dune in front of the house. Enjoy direct beach access via the semi-private path over the dunes. And, in season, there is a lifeguard stand less than 50 yards away at the Helga Street beach access.
The space
Relax and enjoy the beach at this 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom semi-oceanfront cottage near milepost 5 on the beach road in Kill Devil Hills. There are no oceanfront homes directly in front of the cottage, so your views are only obstructed by sea grass and dunes on the oceanfront. In addition, we have a semi-private walkover path on the dune in front of the house for direct beach access. (You do have to cross the 2 lane "Beach Road" to get to the path.) We are just 50 yards from the Helga Street beach access, so in season, you'll have the bonus peace of mind from the attended life guard stand located there.

The Cottage:
• Newly updated fully stocked kitchen with stainless steel appliances
• Dining area with ocean views and seating for 6 people
• Living area with 50” Samsung Smart TV (streaming only – we do not have cable TV)
• Deck with ocean views and outdoor seating
• Master Bedroom – Queen bed, Roku-enabled TV, light-blocking drapes, and newly updated en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower
• Bedroom 2 – Queen bed, light-blocking drapes, Roku TV
• Bedroom 3 – Queen bed with 50-inch Roku-enabled TV, and light blocking drapes
• Bedroom 4 – 2 sets of bunk beds with Roku TV
• Shared full bath with tub/shower combo
• Laundry area with full-size washer and dryer

Outside space
• Parking for up to 4 vehicles
• Decking with ocean views, outdoor seating, and a stair gate
• Semi-private beach walkover path directly across the street
> Fenced sand play area under the house
Guest access
Guests can enjoy the entire cottage with the exception of locked owner's closets and garage area.
Other things to note

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING>

We do not have cable television. We have Roku TVs and you must use your own accounts to stream premium or pay services.


We supply the first roll of paper towels in the kitchen and a roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. Guests are responsible for supplying paper products after the initial supply.

We supply bath towels and linens. You must bring your own beach towels.

Trash collection is very early morning on Mondays and Thursdays. Guests are asked to roll cans out Sunday night and Wednesday nights. Failure to roll cans out for pick up will result in a $50 charge for trash removal.

There is a Ring doorbell camera monitoring the entrance and driveway.

We are family-friendly, but this is not a child-proof home.

There is a 4-car maximum for the house.

We allow one dog with prior approval and payment of pet fee. Please let us know in advance if you plan to bring your dog and add them to your guest count in order for the pet fee to be charged. Dogs must be house-trained, friendly (in case we need to access the house), up to date on flea meds and shots, and well-socialized. Dogs are not to be left alone unattended in the house uncrated for extended periods of time. Be sure to pick up after your dog in all areas and keep your dog off the furniture. If you have a "shedding" type breed, clean-up also means hair within reason. Failure to do so or any damage from your dog will result in an additional fee.

Minimum age for renters not accompanied by a parent or guardian is 25 years old. You will be asked to provide a copy of photo ID and sign a rental agreement.

This property was situated with great access to the beach, walking distance to a fantastic coffee shop and fun restaurant.We brought our dog and the residents were super cool about bending the dog rules about the beach (as long as your dog is controlled).If you are looking for a remote getaway, this might not be the spot for you, but centrally located for all the activities we wanted to do.Hosts were super friendly.

Honestly one of the best stays we've had in the Outer Banks over the years. Very clean, right across from beach access, in a great location, very well stocked with all the necessities. Would absolutely stay here again!

Really enjoyed our stay at Savage Seas! Got married just across the street and this VRBO couldn’t have been more convenient to everything we had planned for the week. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great beach spot near all the restaurants and things to keep kids entertained.A few opportunities: the host was very kind and responsive, but was in the driveway the second we pulled in from our 4hr drive. He was replacing the grill with a new one, which was welcomed, but it could have been replaced at another time. The property also has an active ring door bell that is not listed on the property description. Thank you again for having us and allowing us to create unforgettable memories in KDH.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 May 2026
Congrats again on your wedding! So glad Savage Seas was able to help you host, and thrilled to hear you had a good time. We do apologize if bringing the new grill over was an inconvenience in any way. We tried to have it ready before check-in, but that wasn't possible. Our thought was that it was better to bring it before you were settled and in the house, so we didn't have to disturb you when you were trying to relax after a long drive. And, we assembled it in the neighbor's driveway so that we weren't obtrusively hanging out in the driveway when you pulled in. (We kind of had to bring it over when we were done, since once it was assembled, we would have had no way to transport it for storage to deliver it another time, and we didn't want to leave you with a an old rusty grill for your entire week.) The Ring doorbell camera should have been disclosed in the listing, but I have now put it in two different places so that it will not be missed in the future. (For future bookers - we don't actively monitor the camera unless there is an issue, by the way, and it only monitors the driveway and stairs up to the deck entrance.) Thanks again for staying with us and hope to have you back!

We had such a great stay! The weather on the beach wasn’t great so it was so nice being able to hang out on the deck/elevated porch and still be able to see the ocean. There’s also a closed in sand play pen area downstairs that is sooo amazing if you have kids! The owners were also incredibly communicative. We would definitely rent this plan again.

We really enjoyed our stay. This house was very clean, well stocked kitchen and the extra touches really made us feel comfortable, just like we were at home. I cannot say anything bad about our hosts and their house. They have done such a great job to accommodate everyone. We would definitely rent this house again. Thank you Annette & Greg!

We were so happy with Savage Seas! The house was perfect for our family and just a short walk across the street from the beach. Very well equipped for cooking and grilling at home vs out to eat every night. The kids loved the bunk beds and all the toys, games, and books. They were squealing when discovering the containers under the bed! We made puzzles at the big kitchen table and played at least 2-3 games of UNO with the giant cards every night. We also spent lots of time on the front deck. There is also an outdoor shower which is great for getting beach sand off before entering house. Around the back is an enclosed sandy area for kids to play, with lots of toys and seating. So much fun! Our stay flew by too fast!
