Solid

Wonderful house, great location, good amenities and an overall really good stay. Only drawback is crossing the highway to get to the beach due to volume, but that's not anyone's fault it's so popular around Kill Devil Hills. My friends and I had a great time and I highly recommend this place!

Great OBX spot for groups

Sea La Vie was the perfect place for our group of 8. The house was big enough with hang out spaces on all 3 floors (love the tiki bar!), the fire pit was great, the kitchen was fully equipped and modern. The location was good, just be aware you’ll have to cross one road to get to the beach.

Location, location, location

We enjoyed our stay very much. This was our third trip to the OBX, but our first experience with a whole home rental, and Vrbo. Overall, the experience was great. Reservation process, communication, and overall property quality was great. We were there for a friend’s surprise 50th birthday party. There were 6 adults staying at the house. We weren’t there a lot, but the property was clean, and had all the necessary amenities. We will, of course, be back. The location can’t be beat.

There are so many different hang out spaces and the foosball & shuffleboard were awesome bonuses. We loved the jetted tub and having so many bathrooms. It’s a great distance from shops, pier & beach!

About the host

Hosted by Alison Conners

Host profile image
After renting in the OBX for more than 30 years, we were finally able to get our own place for our family to enjoy. We have a son in the Air Force, so this is the perfect place to spend time together when he's on leave. We would never be able to afford it without awesome renters like you, so thank you for helping our lifelong dream of owning a house at the beach come true! My family likes being close to everything in the OBX (so you don't have to sit in traffic to go to the grocery store, and you can to Uber to live music at night), so this location is great for that. From this central location, you can also head out to any other town for the day to see all the OBX has to offer. We truly hope you love it here as much as we do, and that you come back year after year the way we did for the last three decades.

Why they chose this property

This location can’t be beat - We are right in the middle of the sound at 0.4 miles and the ocean at 0.3 miles away! You can see the ocean from the top deck so you can tell if it’s sunny and calm, or cloudy and choppy before heading to the beach (which is protected by lifeguards in season, and allows 4 wheel driving on the sand off season).

Avalon Pier is on one end of our road, and the sound access park off of Bay Drive is on the other end. Beach access with parking is right at the end of our street, and there is free parking and public beach access on 5th, 2nd and 1st streets as well.

Food Lion, Belk, Subway, Max's Italian, and Duck Donuts are in the shopping center just a few streets down, which you can get to from the back way in the neighborhood without going out onto the highway when there’s traffic. All the restaurants and fun places to go are close enough to Uber, and putt putt, movies, Target, etc. are right there.

Kill Devil Hills is also in the middle of the Outer Banks so you can bike to the Wright Brother's memorial, charter a fishing trip from Oregon Inlet, hike the dunes at Jockey's Ridge, visit the outlet stores in Nags Head, watch the lost colony show in Manteo, see the wild horses in Corolla, fish the point in Rodanthe, visit the lighthouse in Buxton, or take the ferry to Ocracoke.

What makes this property unique

PRIVATE BACK YARD - We've always hung out in the driveway of houses we rented before but here, you don't have to do that. You can play cornhole or enjoy the firepit with less wind, bugs and sand spurs than you find oceanfront.
SPACE - Three levels of house means plenty of room and privacy for everyone, lots of bathrooms, lots of games, and a fully stocked kitchen.
NO STEPS on the ground floor - Even though the kitchen is on the third level, people who have trouble with stairs could feasibly stay downstairs and eat at the picnic table or in the tiki bar to minimize having to go upstairs.
FULLY STOCKED, UPDATED KITCHEN- Why wait for a table at a busy restaurant when you can eat at home, or grill outside?
NEW COMFY BEDS and bedding, TVs and ceiling fans in every room - because no one wants to toss and turn in a stuffy room in a lumpy bed. If you need a TV or a fan to fall asleep, we got you covered.
GAMES - Inside, outside, upstairs, downstairs, you'll spend the week playing all the fun games with the family.
JUST PACK CLOTHES - Sheets are provided along with two bath towels per person. We have boogey boards, beach chairs, and a cooler that you are welcome to use. We also start you off with one roll of TP per bathroom, but you do need to bring your own beach towels.
LOCATION! Kill Devil Hills is in the middle of everything. The house is 0.3 miles to the ocean (across the street) and 0.5 miles to the sound.
