Hughes Retreat Unit #204 in Kill Devil Hills, built in 2005, is across the street from the beach. Easy public beach access is a short distance south of Hughes Retreat at Eighth Street. It is handicapped accessible with parking and a nice ramp over to the beach. Rent anything you need (including a beach wheelchair) nearby. Our condo is tastefully decorated for maximum comfort. Our balcony overlooks the pool so you can relax and still keep an eye on the mischief taking place in the pool. A fully equipped kitchen and a great grocery nearby will make meal preparation a snap. Don't want to cook? THE best restaurant on the beach is at the end of the driveway. The master bedroom (aka the Jungle) has a king size bed and a private full bath. A second bedroom has a queen size bed (aka the Garden) and the third bedroom has a pyramid bunk (aka Kids at the Beach) A pyramid bunk has double bed on the bottom with a single above and a single trundle underneath. A second full bath is across from these two bedrooms. AND there's a queen size sleep sofa in the living room for anyone who wants to stay up all night. The bunk room has Cable TV and a DVD/VCR player (The owner left a VCR tape with 6 hours of vintage cartoons!) The other bedrooms also have Cable TV and there's a fourth Cable TV with DVD player in the living area. All TVs are wall mounted. After all that 'hard' walking on the beach, an elevator will take you upstairs easily. Our awesome pool is lap worthy and also great for water walking. There is assigned covered parking with space for two cars and an additional assigned space across from the front of the building.
But, PLEASE, don't spend your vacation inside the condo! The owners will provide you with information for more activities than you'll have time for, so plan to come back again and again.

Condo Perfection, Can't Wait To Go Back to Jay's Nest Egg
Condo Perfection, Can't Wait To Go Back to Jay's Nest Egg

Jay's Nest Egg is absolutely wonderful! Exactly as described, if not better!! We felt at home from the moment we opened the door in October 2012. Sara was wonderful to work with, responding to communication within a couple of hours & even sending us recommendations for local vendors when we mentioned that our stay would be in preparation for our wedding. She provides a nice, well organized binder of information about local attractions & restaurants. There is a Harris Teeter (grocery store) just on the other side of the 4-lane. The kitchen is very well stocked! The beds & seating areas are plenty comfortable. The patio has a nice view of the ocean, which can be reached via a pedestrian crosswalk at the end of the driveway that is less than 1 block from a public beach access. We're looking forward to returning to Jay's Nest Egg for our anniversary for many years into the future and have already told many friends & coworkers about the property!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Unfortunately, that nice ocean view that was mentioned has disappeared due to new construction over on the beach. Sorry, it's still a short walk over to the beach.

We have stayed at Jay's Nest Egg three times. Each of our stays have been great vacations. The description regarding this rental and the photos depict it perfectly. We have rented quite a few places over the years and this is one of the best. The owner is accessible for any questions or concerns. The location is convenient to EVERYTHING including all of our favorite restaurants. The condo is nicely equipped with many extras other rentals do not have which makes Jay's Nest Egg a great place to stay in the Outer Banks.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, families with young children, girls getaway.

Our family has stayed at Jay's nest egg twice and I would recommend it highly. The condo was spotless both times with everything in working order. Our fav eating spot, The Kill Devil Grill, is at the end of the driveway. Another one of our favorite places, Jockey's Ridge, is also just a short distance away. We felt safe with the additional locked main door. All in all a great place to come to.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, families with young children, girls getaway.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: Hughes Retreat was finished in the spring of 2005 and Jim and Sara Singer are the original owners of Jay's NestEgg. Jim is a physical oceanographer (which is why this condo isn't oceanfront). He plans oceanographic research cruises and spends most of his time floating on some distant ocean, sea or gulf. Sara works as a clinical monitor from a home office (which is why this condo has great WIFI). When you are not here, she likely wants to be. Our condo is called Jay's NestEgg for our son Jay who wasn't doing so well in school so Sara took his college fund and used it as a down payment! No worries, Jay is now a senior in college and doing well.
Why the Owner Chose Kill Devil Hills:
As a young couple in graduate school, we spent a LOT of time on the Outer Banks. Jim's graduate research was a study of Oregon Inlet. His thesis predicted that one day the bridge would be mostly over land. Guess what, today it is mostly over land.
During our graduate school years, we spent a lot of time here in tents, trailers, less than nice motel rooms and some rentals that can't be described. We wanted a place back on the Outer Banks that was easy to get to, easy to live in and always welcoming us back.
We have walked beaches all over the world and our favorite beaches of all are right here. Coquina Beach across from the Bodie Island Lighthouse and the beach just south of Oregon Inlet on Pea Island are fabulous. We'll share them with you, but don't tell too many people cause we like them to stay uncrowded.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
Sara loves to begin the day watching the sun rise over the ocean with a great cup of coffee. Later, we enjoy climbing Jockey's Ridge to watch the sunset over the sound. In between we like to just walk the beach. From the beach directly in front of the condo, look south. It's 2 miles to the Nags Head Fishing Pier. Try and walk it at least once during your stay. Do it at low tide and collect a few shells along the way.
