Pamper your Royal Family with a Stay at Queen Elizabeth's Castle
Stay at Queen Elizabeth's Castle and vacation like royalty! With great ocean views, and a central Outer Banks location with easy beach access, this beautiful home on the beach road (NC 12) offers all the amenities your family could possibly want and certainly deserve on vacation. Located a short distance from where the Wright Brothers made their first successful flight, Queen Elizabeth's Castle has direct beach access (with a lifeguard) within just 100 feet of the end of the driveway. Custom interiors in bright colors accent this home's 4-level design, and for an added dose of relaxation, your family can enjoy the warm, bubbly Hot Tub or relax on the deck after a long day at the beach. Enjoy a fantastic view of the ocean from the Living Area, Sun Deck, and Ship's Watch. Visit Queen Elizabeth's Castle and plan to make it a part of your yearly vacation plans.
When you pull up to the Ground Level of this beautiful beach home, you'll see that it's time to begin your epic Outer Banks vacation. Cook up some fresh seafood outside on the Park-Style Grill or prepare your own catch of the day on the Fish Cleaning Table. Relax on the Hammock Swing under the house and rinse off in the Enclosed Outdoor Shower before heading upstairs to relax. For a little more outdoor fun, enjoy the Regulation Horseshoe Pit to release a little steam with some friendly competition, or make your way over to the Outer Banks YMCA for a workout class or a fun family program!
On the Ground Level, take advantage of a little extra privacy with 2 Covered Entries to begin your vacation fun. Take the 1st door on the side entry into the Laundry Area, which is perfectly located for easy mid-week washes and access to clean beach towels without having to lug your sandy clothes upstairs. When you're ready to head upstairs, simply take the stairway up to the Middle Level. Back outside, through the 2nd door, you'll find a super-fun Game Room with a Ping Pong Table and Cornhole Boards to take outside for a little extra excitement.
On the Middle Level, you'll find the Main Entrance as well as a cozy Den with a Queen Sleeper Sofa that's great for relaxing after a day at the beach or finding an extra place to rest for everyone in your family group. If you're looking for somewhere for everyone else to get some rest, choose from the Queen Bedroom with an adjoining Bathroom, the additional Queen Bedroom, or the Bunk Room with 2 Sets of Bunk Beds that's just perfect for the kids. A Full Hallway Bathroom is accessible nearby to keep everyone comfortable. And when you're ready to enjoy those fresh, ocean breezes, step out onto the Mid-Level Furnished Deck where you'll find a warm, bubbly Hot Tub to relax in and rest those muscles while you watch the stars appear in the night sky.
The Top Level offers the ideal place to enjoy beautiful views of the ocean as well as time with the people you love. Relax in the Living Area with a Flat Screen TV and cozy chairs for family movie night or move on over to the Living Area near the glass sliding doors to the Furnished Deck where you can enjoy plenty of brilliant light and breathtaking views. Impress the family with your cooking skills in the Kitchen with modern appliances to enjoy at the Bar or in the Dining Area with seating for 10. For a little al fresco dining, take your meal out onto the picnic table where you can watch the clouds roll by and feel the salt off the ocean while you dine. Back inside, get a little extra privacy with the Queen Master Bedroom with a Private Bathroom. Make your way up the outside stairs to the Crow's Nest for spectacular views of the ocean and unbeatable breezes that will have you coming back year after year to enjoy this jewel of a vacation home.
Where the OBX Comes To Life
Situated in the heart of Kill Devil Hills, this great location makes it easy to walk to all of your favorite restaurants and local attractions. Easily shop for all the supplies you'll need during your trip at the nearby Food Lion or Publix supermarkets. Stop by the Wright Brothers National Monument to learn about America's history of aviation and the first powered flight that occurred right off the local sand dunes! Afterward, swing by Lost Treasure Golf to try your luck at a fun treasure-themed mini-golf course or if it's raining, catch the latest blockbuster at the nearby movie theater. Try your luck on Avalon Fishing Pier and see what kind of titans you can reel in! When you get hungry, try brunch from The Jolly Roger or your favorite steamed shellfish from Goombays Grille & Raw Bar. Whether you spend your afternoons relaxing by the beach, casting your line out in the ocean, or exploring fun shops around town, you'll feel like royalty at Queen Elizabeth's Castle.
