About this property

FFR104 Beach Retreat by First Flight Rentals

Beach Retreat — Corner-Unit Ocean Views and Happy Hour on the Deck

Beach Retreat takes its job title seriously. This 2-bedroom oceanfront corner unit at First Flight Retreat is built around the good parts of a beach day: excellent ocean views pouring through corner-unit windows, a kitchen stocked for your happy hour needs, and an upgraded deck setup — pub table and four pub chairs — made for drinks with a front-row Atlantic view.

Effortless from Door to Sand

Here's the detail frequent beach-goers will love: the unit sits on the same floor as the beach access. No elevator waits, no hauling chairs up stairs — just out the door and onto the sand. (The elevator is there when you need it, though as a community amenity it's not controlled by the homeowner and cannot be guaranteed.)
​​​​​​​
Inside, both bedrooms feature queen beds and smart TVs, and a queen sleeper sofa in the living area adds flexible space for extra guests. Natural light fills the unit from its corner position, a stackable washer and dryer handles the beach towels, and free Wi-Fi keeps everyone connected. Your dog is welcome too ($150 plus tax, per the pet policy).

Great Beach Front Condo

We loved it. It was clean, spacious, and right on the ocean with super easy beach access. Centrally located to lots of good restaurants and shops, and easy parking. The Harris Teeter down the way is a life saver, particularly if you have a Tesla (the HT has super chargers). Would definitely stay again. Only complaint is the WiFi - I had to log in every time I left the condo and came back. A wired option that would allow you to set up your own secure WiFi network would have been ideal. We'll definitely be back.

Comfortable place for family and pup

We had a great time with family in this condo. The beach was a short walk away. We used the fitness room which was small but adequate. We could not enjoy the pool due to renovation. The beds were comfortable. Bathrooms are fine. We enjoyed the living room with ample comfy seating and eating together at the dining table. Kitchen appliances were great. Plenty of silverware. Cooking utensils were ok. It was great to be able to bring our corgy, too. Other guests were quiet and considerate. There is tons of parking here. Some easy fixes: The dishes are only adequate—7 plates, fewer cereal bowls, and perhaps 4 assorted wine glasses. Many dishes are chipped.

Don’t use this condo in off season unless you like living with lots of debris and being watched.

Once I booked my non refundable stay I received an email stating the exterior of the building this condo is in is under repair. I understand this but did not expect what was actually going on. The exterior of the particular condo I rented had a lot of damage therefore workers were there three days ripping off the balcony (beach facing) damaged exterior siding, underpayment, and wood beneath it and replacing it resulting in men looking directly at me as I was in the condo, lots of debris covering the patio which was not cleared away at all during the stay, and loud construction noise. The rental company was rude about it when I sent them text and video proof of the debris.

Lovely condo

Just the right size for 2 people and a small dog. The view was amazing. Nicely decorated & very comfortable beds. The only complaint I have is the cleaning company. I brought my own Clorox wipes & wiped everything down. But the floors were not clean at all. My husband white socks were brown after walking around the first evening.

Family Get Away

Our first time at OBX and we had great accommodations; the condo was perfect and the weather was beautiful! My only complaint is that we rented beach chairs and umbrella, but had to drag them to and from the beach ourselves each day. For the money we paid, it would be very nice to have them set up for us each day on the beach. We spoke with several older couples who had also rented chairs but didn’t realize that they had to do the labor. The chairs and umbrella were just too heavy for them to carry. Otherwise, it was a great trip!

First Flight - Kill Devil Hills Retreat; Perfect Location to watch the sun rise

The Outer Banks, for me, has always been a perfect beach destination to relax, eat great seafood, and take in the views / sounds of the Atlantic. First Flight Rentals has made it that much easier for me to enjoy my time away from all of life's hustle and bustle. The check-in / check-out process has been the simplest I've experienced to-date, the proximity to the ocean, locality of near attractions and historical sites...PERFECTO! Although, I didn't 'check out' completely during my week's stay, I did choose to work half-days and have the afternoons / evenings to myself. There was one instance of an Internet outage for a couple of hours during the afternoon on Thursday; I reported it to First Flight Rental personnel who quickly responded to my issue / inquiry. I also loved that the property was very pet friendly. My Yorkie hated the beach, but he enjoyed the nice large lawn in the front of the property to socialize with other visiting pets. :) Overall, I had a great stay, loved the amenities and accessibility. First Flight Rentals has made taken the stress out of settling in and getting comfortable. Arrival and departure was a seamless process. I would recommend this location / unit ten times over! It's perfect to watch the sun rise in the morning and set in the evenings. The view is spectacular from the balcony! Thanks for making my Spring Break a visit to remember!

Nice ocean view, clean and convenient.

We stayed with another couple and our dog. The condo had a great view of the dunes and the ocean. The communication was great and we had all the codes and instructions that we needed. The hand carts were helpful, as while the condo is on the "first-floor", you still need to take the elevator or a flight of stairs to get to it. The welcome bag was a nice touch, with things we used. Everything was clean and in order. We did have a bit of trouble figuring out the TV's, maybe we just couldn't find the instructions? This was in a great location, quiet on the beach yet walking distance to some restaurants. We had a relaxing time and would return.

OBX 2021

We had a great time! Location was great, very close to Wright Brothers Memorial and tons of places to eat and shop. Unit was on the first floor. View of ocean was partially blocked by sand dune. Beach was fantastic with easy access. Only real issues we had was related to cleanliness. Cleaning crew left hair in bathroom. Tufts of dog hair on the carpet. Mold on shower curtains. Sheets on the bed were actually put on inside out and didn't fit the mattress. Bath towels were small and cheap. Roaches in kitchen and bedrooms!!! I'd stay again, just in different unit on higher floor.

5/5 stars would recommend

We had a great stay at first flight. Super close to lots of dining and shopping. Holy cow ice cream just down the street is AMAZING. Having a first floor condo has benefits and drawbacks. It was quicker to get on the beach but you compromise your view. Having kids and a dog we went for the first floor and still had a water view from the balcony but the dune does block the beach view. Basically the location the best of both. Everything is clean and well taken care of. Heads up the welcome bag does leave something to be desired. Toilet paper, paper towels, and 1 dishwasher tablet. No shampoo, soap, dish soap, or laundry detergent.
