Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
I managed properties for one of the largest management firms on the Outer Banks for 16 years. Now I only handle & take care of my own. I clean &/or inspect myself. Every effort is made to insure your stay is comfortable, easy & fun! Should a problem arise I have access to general maintenance people & specialist, problems can almost always be taken care of within 24 hrs. If my guests need anything, all they have to do is call me. I am less than 15 minutes from them most of the time.
Why the Owner Chose Kill Devil Hills
In the heart of Kill Devil Hills, short walking distance to the beach & lots of activities. Living here I take for granted many things my guests enjoy...however, the beach, the quiet sound, all the history of the Outer Banks & the beauty of our home is awesome!
The Unique Benefits of this House
Sheets & towels provided.
All mattress pads, spreads/comforters, rugs, shower curtains are washed behind each reservation.
Owner handles each reservation & preparation for your stay personally.
You are our guest, why would you clean at the end of your stay? All we ask is that you leave no dirty dishes, strip your sheets & place them in pillow cases along with the used towels, put your trash in the exterior trash can provided & clean up after your pet. Many items you use daily are already provided for you in the cottage.
