Historic Cottage Steps from the Beach and Dog Friendly!
Built in 1954 and added to the Kill Devil Hills inventory of historic homes in 2015, this cottage harkens to a more simple and enjoyable vacation experience. Steps from the beach, dining and Avalon Pier, but in a quiet location with a good deal of privacy!
Enjoy the salt air and ocean breeze without leaving the property! Rocking chairs and bar stools provide seating in the side porch/breezeway. The ground level deck in back has bench seats and throw pillows for your comfort. Although the yard is not fenced, there is plenty of space to walk your bestie and the neighborhood is a great place for longer walks! During the summer, leashed dogs are welcome on the beach before 9 am and after 6 pm.
While in the breezeway, take a look at the rustic stand created by a local artisan using the home's original solid wood front door and heart pine lumber harvested from the Roanoke Island property of the one and only Andy Griffith!
Everything you need to begin the best vacation is provided! Just drop your bags and take a stroll to the beach!

Sandie's place was advertised and better than we expected. It is comfortable, clean, and very cozy. It has everything that we needed for our beach vacation including beach chairs and an umbrella. The outdoor shower is a dream! Sandie's communication was excellent and we appreciated the walk through at check in. We highly recommend staying here and are hopeful to return many times.

We had a wonderful first visit to OBX staying in this cozy cottage. Our host, Sandy, was very friendly and informative. The place was decorated with beautiful things, plants and artful vignettes everywhere you looked. She is a talented decorator! It was well stocked and very clean. My dog loved it, too! The beach was a very short walk away and there were some nice people that we met. We recommend this rental very highly and hope to return soon.

This quaint little cottage is prefect with enough room for four people and a great living area and open kitchen. The outside area is prefect for hanging out with a shaded area as well as an open area to sit outside comfortably. The host was great and had muffins waiting for us and was immediately responsive with any questions or requests we had. You can walk a short distance to a great beach access and there are plenty of great restaurants close by. This place is located in a quiet side road that’s off the main drag so no traffic and no noise at all. We are 100% staying here and with a host that’s local and available to answer questions, it is super convenient. The house also has a lot of history and despite its age the owner has put a lot into restoring and update it.

À propos de l’hôte
Hôte : Sandie Markland
My husband and I retired and moved to our vacation home in Kill Devil Hills over 20 years ago and have never looked back. We met, married and raised our family in Northern Virginia. Pete is a retired Police Officer and I retired from Federal service on Capitol Hill. Pete loves to fish and engages in a variety of interests and hobbies. I am an obsessed gardener and collector of a wide variety of things --- primarily Talavera pottery and sea glass! I have built a successful business creating and marketing sea glass jewelry and my original hand-carved Stone Spirits. I have also come to love my little corner of the hospitality industry. I first started hosting visitors in our Kitty Hawk townhouse rental in 2018 and look forward to hosting guests in our new historic cottage.
Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement
Windswept Bungalow is located in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood --- a mix of seasonal guests, second homes and full time residents. It is located on one of the original streets built in Kill Devil Hills along with several other of the original flattops built here. You can hear and smell the ocean always! The cottage is within easy walking distance of the beach, Avalon Pier, Awful Arthur's Oyster Bar/Restaurant and Beach Shop. You can watch the July 4th fireworks from the front yard or stroll out to the beach for a spectacular view!
Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique
Built in 1954 and declared historic in 2015 by the Kill Devil Hills Historic Landmarks Commission, Windswept Bungalow is one of the few original flattop cottages remaining on the Outer Banks. Sadly, these homes are disappearing rapidly in favor of the larger homes currently in favor --- even many of those remaining have exchanged their leaky tar and gravel flat roofs with a less expensive and more easily maintained pitched roof.
This cottage was originally built as a reasonably priced summer home for individuals working in the Hampton Roads shipyards and was used for that purpose for several years. Eventually, new owners converted the property to a full time rental. The ravages of time and deferred maintenance took a toll on this property but a bit of elbow grease, the skill of local tradesmen and lots of love have restored this home and made it better than ever!
The Markland Cottage (Windswept Bungalow) remains true to its original design with two small bedrooms, a bathroom that boasts a shower but no tub and that unmistakable flat roof! The old, leaky tar and gravel roof has been replaced with a new membrane roof but one which remains faithful to that original style!
You will find it difficult to find another home here that is the subject of such love and devotion! It was my long time dream to own and restore one of these little homes --- Yes! Dreams do come true!!
