We love that is like 4 minutes drive to the beach! And close to shopping stores and restaurants!
House is very cute. Would recommend getting lamps for living room as well as blinds for windows in living room. We loved our time we spent relaxing in the hammock and all of our adventures at the beach

About the host
Hosted by Julie D Oglesby
I am originally from Tidewater and really enjoy the beach! I also love real estate and hope to create a nice space to come and visit the OBX!
Why they chose this property
Kill Devil Hills is one of the best spots in the OBX. I really like the neighborhood as it's convenient to the best restaurants and shopping. Also I enjoy the bike/walking path in our neighborhood.
What makes this property unique
I believe Drake's cottage is not only in a great location but has character. It mixes the older beach box look with newly renovated touches!
