See, smell, and hear the ocean enjoying sunrise in the morning or evening cocktails on the porch at this semi-oceanfront beach house in Kill Devil Hills!

Honestly one of the best stays we've had in the Outer Banks over the years. Very clean, right across from beach access, in a great location, very well stocked with all the necessities. Would absolutely stay here again!
Really enjoyed our stay at Savage Seas! Got married just across the street and this VRBO couldn’t have been more convenient to everything we had planned for the week. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great beach spot near all the restaurants and things to keep kids entertained.A few opportunities: the host was very kind and responsive, but was in the driveway the second we pulled in from our 4hr drive. He was replacing the grill with a new one, which was welcomed, but it could have been replaced at another time. The property also has an active ring door bell that is not listed on the property description. Thank you again for having us and allowing us to create unforgettable memories in KDH.
We had such a great stay! The weather on the beach wasn’t great so it was so nice being able to hang out on the deck/elevated porch and still be able to see the ocean. There’s also a closed in sand play pen area downstairs that is sooo amazing if you have kids! The owners were also incredibly communicative. We would definitely rent this plan again.
We really enjoyed our stay. This house was very clean, well stocked kitchen and the extra touches really made us feel comfortable, just like we were at home. I cannot say anything bad about our hosts and their house. They have done such a great job to accommodate everyone. We would definitely rent this house again. Thank you Annette & Greg!
We were so happy with Savage Seas! The house was perfect for our family and just a short walk across the street from the beach. Very well equipped for cooking and grilling at home vs out to eat every night. The kids loved the bunk beds and all the toys, games, and books. They were squealing when discovering the containers under the bed! We made puzzles at the big kitchen table and played at least 2-3 games of UNO with the giant cards every night. We also spent lots of time on the front deck. There is also an outdoor shower which is great for getting beach sand off before entering house. Around the back is an enclosed sandy area for kids to play, with lots of toys and seating. So much fun! Our stay flew by too fast!
