The Sound Castle in KDH

Three bedroom, two bath home located in the heart of Kill Devil Hills! For 2025, Sunday check-in/check-out. This home is our little sanctuary on the sound side of the OBX. A 2 minute drive to the beach. From rocking chairs on the front porch to outdoor furniture and a swing downstairs on the carport area, there's room for everyone to find their own little corner for solitude or gather together for a homestyle happy hour.

There are 2 beach chairs and several body boards/skim boards available for use during your stay.

Please read rules for our home rental before reserving. We do require a minimum age of 25 to rent. We do require an ID check. We require the person renting our home be present in our home for the duration of the rental period. (I.e. Parents reserving our home on behalf of underage children and not being present will result in cancellation of reservation. This can result in removal from our home if discovered during the rental period and there will be no refunds issued.)

Perfect for 6!

Perfect space for our group of 6! My favorite rental so far. Well stocked kitchen with pots/pans and flatware for our group that cooked every night. Several nice beach chairs and a few boogie boards. Washer/dryer and central air worked very well. A walkable distance to the beach, but our group decided to drive to a nearby public access with free parking (and a wash station/bathrooms) because of the 5 lane road to cross if walking. Lifeguards were stationed there as well as at the pier, which was great! Worked perfectly.

Little get away from reality

This was the perfect get away, just what me and my boyfriend needed. The location is perfect and you’re near everything! You can walk to the beach or the sound, if you forget something at the store its only 2 stop lights away. Theres many restaurants all around. Sara was absolutely amazing, anything we needed she responded super quick, and was really understanding. We will definitely be coming back!!

Great stay

Had a great stay at this property. Location is within walking distance to beach and bay, but with kids and tons of beach gear, it's much easier to hop in the car, and drive to any number of free public parking spots right next to the beach. We visited a different beach everyday and always found free public parking with a washoff area. As far as the house, it's perfectly adequate. Very good a/c, two full bathrooms with bathtubs (great for kids), open concept living, dining, and kitchen area. There is also a very nice deck and upper deck and parking area underneath the house. Also a nice sitting area and outside shower. Kitchen was adequately stocked. Only negative, which turned out to be a positive, was the internet seemed a bit slow for streaming on the tv, which probably isn't the owner's fault. It turned out to be a good thing anyway, because our kids would get frustrated watching youtube stall out a bunch of times that they would shut it off and want to engage with the family. Imagine that! There are some games, but not a huge collection, so bring your favorite games and engage with your kids! Great location, everything you could need is only a very short hop away. Also much cheaper than having an "ocean view" which usually means a sliver of an ocean view in the distance, and it's a single family house, not a condo, duplex or townhouse, in a quiet neighborhood. Overall, great stay, great trip, 10/10!

Would not stay again

We arrived and found poop marks on the bottom of the hallway bathroom toilet seat. Beds were not comfortable, worse than hotel. The appliances need replace, the refrigerator settings had to be turned all the way down to keep things cold and it was very noisy. Deck needs to be stained. Kitchen wasn’t supplied very well to be able to cook. Property owner filed a damaged claim for removing two safety door knob covers for toddler and replace one door knob for substantial amount of money which is crazy. There was no door knob damaged when we stayed either. We left the house the way we found it, we are very clean people. We left the door knob safety covers in case someone else wants to use them as the stairs are dangerous for toddlers.

Peaceful and Restful Week

Our family enjoyed a wonderful week away at Sara's peaceful home. The entire process from arrival to departure was seamless. The space was clean and the availability of beach items was an added bonus. The kitchen was well stocked with all that we needed and even had items left by others for use. Any vacationer is fortunate to stay in this home.
