Craig and Judy were great hosts and very responsive! They communicated well before our stay, during our stay and even afterwards. The house was perfect for the families we had and our kids. Everyone had a great time and it was in a great location! Definitely will stay here again if we go back to visit the outer banks!

Thank you ! We would love to have you return. Location, location, location -- we TOO love our location. Far enough from beach to be safe in times of stormy weather, yet close enough for a quick bike ride, or daily stroll. In the summer time, that "coastal woods" we live in creates a nice shady and cool escape from the hot sand and hard surfaces. Let us know if you wish to find a window available for a return visit which we will discount -- as calendar does not seem to be very user-friendly with finding those openings.

Very homey feel and relaxing. Plenty of space. Yard great fpr dogs. Neighborhood quiet and noce neighbors. Our stay was cold and windy, so we did not use jacuzzi, but would love to return in warmer weather. Loved the screened in back porch. Plenty of parking.

Thank you and your family! It was a pleasure to have you and appreciate your comments about our neighbors. They REALLY are a major part of how wonderful the experience is for our guests to "Live like a Local" in what we consider the best neighborhood in OBX. Our guests will effectively live in a "Coastal Woods Reserve" for their stay. Hope to see you come back - we will give discount just let us know. There are some openings coming up - it doesn't look like it is easy for guest to "see the openings" so let me know if interested and we can waive the #days depending on the particular week but we do have at least some availability for each month - but mostly May, June & August, September.

Our family had a fantastic time at the Beech House! This was our first time visiting Kitty Hawk and we will be back! The house was beautifully decorated and well stocked with supplies. Garage had an abundance of beach equipment and pool toys. The hosts were very helpful and responsive. We spent a lot of time swimming and also enjoyed using the pool table. Would definitely book here again!

About the host

Hosted by Judy & Craig Miskill

Host profile image

Home is a replacement of original .. new construction completed June 2009.

Why they chose this property

Sea Scape community offers easy access to EVERYTHING yet remains protected from storm systems coming from either the Atlantic Ocean (under 1 mile), or the Albemarle Sound (> 3 miles). The mainland is a short jaunt for access to the water park, and less-costly shopping and entertainment.
Kitty Hawk is a very family-oriented beach town with easy access to lots of fun things to do (surfing, fishing, boating, kayaking, biking, etc.), and interesting things to see (wild horses, lighthouses, bird watching, coastal woods and waterways, etc.).
Our friend/neighbor owns Corolla Jeep Adventures and the Wahoo charter fishing (as featured on 1st season of Wicked Tuna: North v. South). NOTE: Discounts may be available upon request.
The Beechwoods Resort is adjacent to the neighborhood which connects to miles of bike and walking trails through Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve, and offers short-term gym membership.
Avalon Pier offers bath house option just several miles south.

What makes this property unique

Walking/hiking trails and biking trails run through Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve. Private location among locals, well-protected from storm systems.
