There was plenty of room for the 6 of us. The beds were really comfortable. The space was clean. The outdoor shower was absolute plus. The porch was perfect for a coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. The neighborhood is very nice. It’s a perfect spot for a beach vacation. Communication with the host was timely.

Was good stay. Housekeeping did a poor job. No bathroom hand towels or wash cloths. Washed laundry was left in washing machine, we dried to have extra towels. It appears unit was not vacuumed at all. No wifi password was found in given location.

About the host

Hosted by Julie D Oglesby

Host profile image
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!
