About this property

The Lookout @ Golden Strand in the heart of OBX

The Lookout is your centrally-located flat in the heart of Kill Devil Hills. It's an easy walk to the beach and to some of the best local restaurants.

This unit has 2-bedrooms and 2-bathrooms. It has a full kitchen and a cozy living room.

This is a condo unit. You have access to the whole place.

We have contactless entry. But I'm only a text or call away.

Golden Strand is right off of North Virginia Dare Trail, on the beach side. It has a large parking lot with open parking, but the resort association asks that you display a parking pass. Please visit the main office during business hours to get your pass.

1st family vacation at OBX

This condo was right on the beach. The pool was perfect size with a lot of chairs! It was super close to everything. The store was right across the street. So many restaurants to choose from. The condo was so clean and spacious for a family of 5! The price was super reasonable. I'd definitely reach out to stay here again!!

Cozy place perfect for family of 4

My family of 4 loved thos cozy place. It was perfect size for us and had everything we needed. The property owner was great about responding to questions and even helped extend our stay a night so we didn't have to pack up and leave in the middle of a tropical storm. I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by David Sawin

Host profile image
I grew up in the Outer Banks in the 70s and 80s working in the hospitality industry starting at age 12. Since 1990 I have lived elsewhere as an international technology executive and volunteer minister. I've worked and vacationed all over the world but still come back home to my favorite beach.

I love to introduce people to my home town and think it is the best place for a relaxed family vacation. I want to help you any way I can by giving you the best property and expert recommendations from nearly 50 years of OBX experiences. Just ask me to help in any way to have the best vacation and I will do my best!

My goal in life is to "retire" to the OBX and recreate the Anchorage Motel & Cottages my parents owned and operated from 1972-2004 as a "virtual resort" by renting some of the best, affordable, family-oriented properties on the OBX.

Why they chose this property

This property is centrally located on the OBX with great ocean views! Just a few steps from a restful beach, you get the best of resort living. We keep the property in good shape, comfortable, with all the supplies you need to have a great summer beach week (or weekend in the spring or fall). With 2 bedrooms you can comfortably sleep 4 plus there is a pullout sofa for a 5th (or even 6th).

What makes this property unique

When you rent from us, you are getting a local family with 50 years of hospitality on the Outer Banks. I strive to answer questions as fast as possible, 80% within 5 minutes during business hours and 100% within one day. I like to provide a concierge experience with recommendations, local insights, and more. You will not be disappointed. Dave, Joanna, and Ben Sawin
