About this property

The WHITEHOUSE. Located at Kill Devil Hills on the Outer Banks of North Carolina

Charming well-kept semi-oceanfront cottage. This home was designated in April of 2014 as an historic landmark of Kill Devil Hills. It was built and completed in 1955. The cottage now has central heat and air as well as Wifi. The first thing that will catch your eye is the inviting front porch, just waiting for you to sit and watch the sun come up on balmy mornings at the beach or enjoy the cool evening breezes. This classic Outer Banks home with knotty pine walls and ceilings is the perfect family vacation spot. Just a short walk to the beach across the street and steps from the Avalon Fishing Pier and Awful Arthurs Oyster Bar which is a local favorite. Also, just a short drive to putt-putt, movie theatre, bowling, Wright Memorial Monument and several stores and grocery store. This cottage is the perfect Outer Banks getaway for your family!

Cute cozy house with beautiful knotty pine wood through out,comfortable furniture. The porch with the rockers was nice too, we spent some time on their rocking and enjoying the roar of the ocean. Supplies are plenty for cooking. The access to the beach was perfect just across the street and down the dunes. The beach was beautiful and not crowded.

I loved the property! Old school charm, close beach access and cozy. There was kitchen supplies to cook meals, extra supplies if needed. There is also an outside shower to get the sand off! Recommended to those who enjoy the slow down of this hustle and bustle lifestyle.

Family Vacay 2025

Great location! The beach access is across the street and loved being so close to Awful Arthur’s and the fishing pier. The cottage is cute with lots of history. We used the porch rockers every morning. All 3 beds are full sized and comfortable. Kitchen and supplies are well stocked. Thank you to the White family for sharing your family beach cottage.

Cozy and Comfy

My sister, her friend and her daughter and I stayed in this quaint little cottage. The knotty pine walls throughout gave this historic house a great vibe. The path to the beach was across the road was an easy ascent and decent. Restaurants and other shopping are minutes away. The porch and rocking chairs were great for a late night star gazing. It is well equipped for your needs. The owner was fast at answering email when we had a small problem. We had a very relaxing time.

Perfectly Situated

The White House was the right size and very close to beach and pier access. It was so easy to come and go from the beach at all times of the day. The inside was cozy and comfortable and many quiet hours were also spent in the shade of the porch enjoying the breeze.

Charming OBX Cottage

We had a great time at the White Cottage. Loved the rustic charm, reminded me of my grandmother's cottage as a child. Excellent location to the beach and kitchen fully stocked to prepare meals. Check with host you may need to bring towels and linens, which was not a problem for us. Great location and comfortable!

Another great stay at the White House

One of the many reasons we continue to adore this location is the flexibility and attention of its owner, Glenn White. Mr. White is responsive and genuinely concerned about the quality of time experienced by those who select his home. The location is magnificent and the charm of his place unsurpassed by those who appreciate what it has to offer. We look forward to returning.

Perfect Location and very comfortable

My family and i enjoyed our recent stay at the Whitehouse very much. Glenn and his wife are very nice people. Loved the history of the house and property. The location was perfect, right across the street was the beach access and so many places to go within walking distance. The weather was perfect too! Thank you so much for letting us stay the week in your home. Can't wait until we can do it again. Daniela

Paradise

This trip was all about parking the car and leaving it for the week and this home is suitable for that. At night you can sit on the porch and hear the ocean. The ocean is literally across the street and wasn’t crowded when we ventured over to the beach. Hoping to come back in May 2025. Three trips to the OBX and Glenn is a great host and communicates clearly with you. There were people who slow down to take pictures of the home. They didn’t get out of the car but snapped a couple of pics and drove on. After staying here and communicating with Glenn I completely understand the appeal of the cottage.

Third time staying here and still perfect in every way! Walking distance to the beach, fishing pier, and Awful Arthur's and enjoyed each of them multiple times. Plan to keep coming back for years.
