About the host
Hosted by Rachael Goodrich
We purchased OBX Beach Gnome in 2022 as a retreat for our family. We love the ocean. Our kids also love to kayak and paddle board in the sound. The Beach Gnome is in the perfect spot between the two!
The sunsets are amazing on the bay and the house is close to all the best restaurants and shopping. It really is the ideal spot in the OBX for families! We love it so much here that we wanted to share it with others.

Why they chose this property
BEAUTIFUL BEACHES - Kill Devil Hills boasts some of the most pristine and unspoiled beaches on the East Coast. The long stretches of sandy shore are perfect for swimming, surfing, or just relaxing by the water. It's a great place for those who love beach activities and the outdoors.
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES - Water Sports: The Outer Banks are famous for water-based activities like kayaking, paddleboarding, kiteboarding, and fishing. The area’s shallow waters and diverse ecosystems make it ideal for exploring marine life.
Hiking & Biking: There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors with trails around Kill Devil Hills and nearby Bay Drive Multi-Use Path, offering hiking, biking, and wildlife watching.
AMAZING LOCAL RESTAURANT SCENE - Kill Devil Hills has a variety of dining options - many restaurants have waterfront views, so you can enjoy your meal with a scenic backdrop. We love Jack Brown's Burger Joint, Awful Arthur's, and Surfin' Spoon, to name a few!
